The Ways of the Kicker.
The News a.vd Sun quotes the fol¬
lowing inspired language:
Blessed is the man that steers clear
of the way of the kicker and mingles
himself not in the congregation of
moss-back, but whose delight is in
new railroads, brick blocks and
other enterprises which build up him¬
self and his town. He shall be liken¬
ed unto the evergreen tree planted at
the water’s edge—his leaf shall not
wither in the early dawn of autumn,
for the Eli of the boomer shall get
there; but woe be unto the kicker,
for he shall be left to bold the baer
and his name shall be Dennis.
That distention of the stomach which many

Ayer’s Pills, to he taken after dinner.
A Sew Use For Watermelons,
New Orleans TimeB-Democrat.
The watermelon crop of Carolina,
Georgia and Florida is rapidly get¬
ting too large—more than the mar¬
ket requires. Col. Win. Duncan, of
South Carolina, lias therefore made
a suggestion which has received the
approval of a number of Carolina
newspapers and melon growers, this
is the manufacture of syrup from the
watemelon. Colonel Duncan insists
that the melon can be more easily
and more generally raised than the
sugar cane, and as it grows above
ground it is more conveniently culti¬
vated than the sugar beet. He has
experimented in the manufeature of
syrup from melons, and finds it ex¬
cellent, more like preserves than the
cane syrup, he says it is likely to be¬
come popular with every one who
tries it. He has made the syrup and
sold it, and found no difficulty in get¬
ting a good price for it.

gkeenvtlle ENJOYS THE
. LARGEST CROWD
That the Town ha* fcver Kntertateea—
Th* Old Seldlem Meet ,
General Gordon.
The reunion of the confederate vet¬
erans which had been announced for
Wednesday, Aug. 16th, drew to
Greenville, G*., the largest dowd
that has ever been entertained in due
day, around that village.
The influx of veterans, their fami¬
lies and friends began on Tuesday
afternoon and with the exception of
a few midnight hours kept up until
Wednesday at ten o’clock, when the
speaking commenced.
Among the distinguished speakers
that had been announced for
the occasion were Gov. John B.
Gordon, Hon. T. B. Grimes, Hon. J.
M. Smith and Col. A. D. Freeman.
Owing to unavoidale occurences the
two latter were unable to be present
and the immense assembly of froitt
to five thousand people were
by* Gov. Gordon, and
Muscogee’s brilliant orator, Thomas
B. Grimes.
Capt. Russell Ellis, a veteran who
has “sniffed the smoke of battik” on
more instances than one, was dele¬
gated the honor of introducing the
speakers. As he arose to perform
this duty his whole frame trembled
with emotion and his voice was’ un¬
steady at the opening of the intro¬
duction, but when he laid his hand
on Georgia’s hero, who needs no
presentation to the people, it be¬
came firm and rang out as it did
twenty-five years ago when issuing
commands to his gallant company
The applause that followed his pre¬
sentation Gov, Gordon responded
to by a low bow and as soon as tbe
crowd calmed down he began his
speech. It was one of those patriotic
speeches that have characterized hip
former reunion addresses. He SDoke
of the love that he bore the old vet¬
erans who served in the confederate
army and said that for weal or woe
he was their friend. He declared
that they had acquitted themselves
in peace as in war with honor. He
exhorted them to be as true to the
flag of the nation as th«y were to
the flag under which they fought in
the 60’s. He was frequently inter¬
rupted by applause and when he re¬
ferred to some perilous incident of
tbewarauold “vet” could be seen
brushing a tear from an eye that
was “unused to weep.”
Capt. Ellis introduced Hon.
Thomas B. Grimes when Gov. Gor¬
don had finished and in a short
speech he logically explained to the
veterans that they had made them¬
selves as honored in peace as in war.
His was a brilliant and entertaining
oration and the_ immense audience
applauded his sentiments to the
echo.
At noon a spread dinner was an¬
nounced and fully three thousand
people were fed on the grounds, the
ladies of Greenville and surrounding
counties having prepared a most
tempting array oi eatables for the
old soldiers and their friends. After
dinner the time was spent in band
shaking and social reunion. Gov
Gordon was no longer the chief ex
ecutive of the State, but the old sol-
dier, the idol of his people. His eyes
would gather mist as an old veteran
would grasp his hand and say “God
bless yon Giner’l!” and possibly
the horny palm and the hearty
grasp would bring up recollections
of the time when both were younger
and shared together the fortunes of
war.
The Barnesville band which fur¬
nished music for the occasion, was
composed uot only of Barnesville
musicians but Abel Wright and Cbas
Lower, two of Griffin’s best, were
among the party which no doubt
had much to do with the compli¬
ment* passed upon their performance.
At four o’clock the Governor’s
party took hacks for Woodbury
where they were entertained by Mr.
J. D. Sutton, at tea. The band was
also invited to partake uf refresh¬
ment at Mr, . Sutton's. At a few
minutes after 7 o’clock all boarded
the G. M. & G. train and came to
Griffin where the party divided, some
going to Atlanta, others south and
many remaining in Griffin to
our lovely town. '

Gov. Lowry’s Unsuccessful Search
Tbe governor sat in his easy chair,
& spyglass at liis eye-^“Has any one
seen 3000 men and a train of carsgo
by ? A pilot train with the bad men
on one more, and another one still;
with rattle of wheels and clang of
bell, and shriek of the whistle shrill?
They travel not as the flying ship, in
silence and in fear; they whoop and
holler and howl and yell for all the
world to hear. They have advertis¬
ed tbe place of the fight, for six long
weeks or more, and I fear that I can¬
not find the place, till the brutal
fight is o’er. Oh, rallay and squand¬
er, my men at arms, and look it you
may see where there railway trains
and 3000 men have hidden away
from me.” f
They rallied and squandered, those
men at arms, they searched the eoun-
through; and another governor came
aloDg snd joined the searchers, too.
they looked in the clock and under
the stairs, and under the bed they
pewed, and out in the kitchen and
everywhere, but th* trains bad dis¬
appeared. They felt in their packets
and looked in their bats, and lower¬
ed a man down the well, butwhere all
those sluggers bed disappeared to,
there wasn’t nobody eonld toll. They
asked a boy at Lowry’s store, and
the blind man down by the hall, and
the woman who keeps the candy shop,
but they hadn’t seen nothin’ at all.
They dragged the pond at Sawyer’s
mill andtqnestioned the tollgate man,
and all through tbe lot at the back
of the house, the governor raced and
ran. But all in vain, for wherever h*
looked, went, the people he sought
were gone, and the only place where
he didn’t look, was where the fight
was on. And be never knew there
had been a fight until
day, then he sent a constable sfter
the men, 4000 mites away.
