THE CONFEDERATE DOME. It don't seem possible that the action of the legislature of our etate last Wednesday can be final in regard to the Confederate Home. From every part of the land, and par ticularly from the entire South, ex pressions of amazement aro heard, and in some cities Indignation meetings are being held. It is confidently predicted that the legislature will reconsider its action and pass the bill. The Constitution, in discussing the matter, says that the defeat of the bill providing for the acceptance of the Confederate Horne will send the blush of shame to Georgians and .Southerners ail over the Union. We have carefully weighod every argument and objection advanced by the opponents of tile home, and we are more than ever confirmed in the opinion that their action is utterly without justification, defense or excuse. In order to remove every possible ob jection, the friends of the bill gtripjred it of all conditions and amended it so that it simply provided for the accept ance by the state of the home for the benefit of the veterans, leaving the state free to sell the property and apply the proceeds in tho interest of our old soldiers, if it should so desire. It nil) be difficult to make the outside world believe it, but even in tbia shape the bill was defeated! Now, wbat construction will tlie north ern people and strangers generally place upon our conduct? Apparently, it amounts to saying that Georgia will not take care of her veterans under any cir cumstances. She will neither build a Lome for them nor accept one wben it is tendered as a freo gift. Her aged and helpless sons who fought her battles will not bo recognized outside of the meager pension already provided. They maybe alone in the world, and needing n shel ter, but they shall have no place of refuge that is sanctioned by the state. The donations for their bonefit from noble-hearted men and women are thrown back to the donors, and the suffering heroes who walk the streets of our towns without a place to lay their heads are told to go to the poorhouse I PROMINENT WOMEN. A pretty sketch of Maude Andrews Olil appeared in a northern paper recent ly. She deserves all the compliments given her. Mrs. Old is a fine writer and a very accomplished woman.—Augusta Chronicle. The article on cotton growing in yes terday's Chronicle was from the pen of Mrs. Meta Andrews Green, an accom plisbed lady of Washington, Ga. It was widely read and generally commented upon. Mn. Jennie C. Nixon of Tennessee Is professor of rhetoric and belles-lettera in Newcombe college, New Orleans. She Is a clever newspaper woman, and has done much editorial work for the south ern papers.—Atlanta Constitution. Mrs. Nixon, as Miss Caldwell of Sbelbyville, Tenn , was a noted belle, and one of the moat talented and cultur ed women of the state. Her husband, Col. John Nixon, one of the wealthiest cotton merchants of New Orleans, was killed somo years ago by Cammack, his bosom friend, who is now one of New York's millionaires. The murder was always a mystery. Mrs. Nixon, since her husband's death, has devoted her life to literature, spending much time in the old world. She is mistress of a half dozen languages, and is one of the most prominent women of the south. ' TOO OOOD FOR EARTU. A young roan in Macon, who signs himself "Willie Dixon,” puts the follow ing modest advertisement in the Evening News: Wife Wanted—Uy a young man of Christian ondeavor; never drinks, never visits a barroom, never plays billiards, nor goes to indecent operas. Never bad any bad company, but all of the best society. Loves home, peace and happi ness. Desires only a good, plain girl. Wants a wife that will not envy her neighbor's dress, and won’t throw away her salvation for worldly pleasures. Wants one that wishes to marry for love, not money; one that thinks and la sure that an humble h ime, with God's love and protection, is worth more than gold or silver. All that I care for is her welfare, ho she loves God; and tries to do right and loves me and tends to her own homo, and cordially welcomes visi tors, but not to join in any conversation that will lead to evil, ia all I crave; so my darling loves me, no one can make mo unhappy. Auj young lady wishing such a hus band can secure biu by writing her address. Ho is five feet nino inches high, twenty-sevon years of age, fair complexion.- dark hair, gray eyes, a painter by trade. Loves music and sing ing, and loves the girl that loves him. “WiUie" has no business fooling away time here on earth. Hit place is beyond the sides, where he will find angels play ing on gulden harps and breathing out their souls in eternal aigbs. Karthly girls, who consume bread and meat,etc., would have no use for "Willie.” He will have to took a (partner in another planet, at be will nevor meet bis affinity here. The letter which Tom Watson claimed to have received from The Atlanta Con stitution, offering him a chairmanship of a committee in the next house if be would vote for Judge Crisp for speaker, turns ont to have been a personal letter from Mr E. W. Barrett, The Constitu tion’s Washington correspondent. The letter does not contain a promise of any kind, but calls Mr. Watson's attention to the importance to himself of maintaining friendly relations with Judge Crisp, that in case be was elected speaker Mr. Wat' son would stand a much better chance for recognition than by keeping np bis senseless fight. Tbe letter was written on a letter bead of Tbe Constitution's, and Mr. Watson thought to mako capital by proclaiming that The Constitution had offered him a chairmanship if ho would vote for Judge Crisp. Little Tommy sinks deeper into the mire with every utterance from his much-used mouth. CUT PRICES Still the lit ft Beall & Oakley’s. POWDER Absolutely Pure. States Government Food 1 june!5 d*wlyr Ai.aiisjia has soveral applicants for the position on the interstate railroad commission made vacant by the death of Capt. Walter L. Bragg, and among them is Col, Henry B. Shorter, at present chairman of tbe Alabama commission. Col. Shorter is tbe oldest railroad com missioner, in point of Bcivice, in tbo South, aud for that reason the Birming ham Age-Herald thinka that he ia the man for the placo. Fiied Doi-olass undertook to prove, in an address at Washington tho other night, that negroes and white men bo- longed to the same race, and cited as erldcnco of the truth of his assertion that whisky serves a white man just as it does a negro. Whisky also makes a monkey just as drunk as it does a negro, and yet Fred would grow very indignant if this nrgument was advanced to show that tbe monkey and the negro boionged to the same race. Tens of thousands of pilgrims aro g dng to Treves, to see and touch tho seamless garment said to have been worn by the Savior.. There seems to be good grounds to believe that this garmont Is many centuries old, although no rational person believes that the history of this garment as retailed at Treves is true. Tre Buffalo millionaire who coated the outside of his house with tar, and whitewashed the furniture and picture frames, besides taking a goat with him Into his friends' parlors and accepting a stranger’s check In payment for a team of horaoa', has very properly been con signed to a lunatic asylum. The estimates of America's wheat surplus have largely increased during August. It is now believed that the United States can spare over 200,000,000 bushels and Canada about .13,000,000 bushels. This is more, probably, than the foreign demand will require. The farmers of Vigo county, Ind., are protesting against tho assessment at $■",000 of a stallion valued at £105,000. The owner made $50,000 by him last year, but threatened to take him out of tlie county if the assessor did not "go light” on him. IN A HOLE. Toni Watson and his friend Ellington, in their recent fight against democracy, calls to mind a story of tlie plaius In 1810. Two bummora who were trying to make their way across the plains en countered a buffalo bull. They were hungry, and being out of ammunition, they tried to earner the bnffalo and lasso him. The bnffalo took the matter very kindly, keeping out of tbe way, until he had to turn on them, and when he did one of the men climbed up a scrub tree, and the other ran into a big hole. Very soon the man in the hole came to the surface, and immediately the buffalo dashed at him again. He kept this up several times, until the man In tbe tree yelled out: "Why in the h—1 don’t you stay In the hole f" • About this time the man bobbed np again and said; “How In the h—1 can I f Thers Is a bear down In this hole ia big as two buffaloes." Ellington In the tree, and Watson In a hols. Is the way thajoka la applied. Hotel keepers should take warning from tho fact that ono of their fraternity at Asbury Park has been finod $100 for serving oleomargarine to his gnesta. Had he labeled each plate of it probably he would hot have been subject to fine. A coat that Andrew Jackson return ed the tailor because It did not fit, was sold at auction In Baltimore last week for $350. A pair of socks that he actual ly w\»re would probably command an immense sum. Russia has agreed to participate in the World’s Fair in 1893. The Czar's exhibit will consist principally of roast ed Jews on the half shell. A few Nihi lists on toast will lend variety to the display. Tun pension Usta on a recent date bore the names of 630,304 pensioners, and new names are being added at the rate of 1,300 a day. All that has bora said against James Russell Lowsll since his death Is that he parted his hsir In the middle. Public Sale. GEORGIA—Sumtkk County. Will be told before the Freight Depot.
