lag Sewn, seme rarl-ripo product of
juvenile journallam electrified the Eng
lish speaking people by asserting boldly
and conlidantly that John Howard
Payne was the author of that poetical
gem entitled “The Last Rose of Sum
mer.”
Since this occurrence tbe editor of the
Athena Banner has referred to tbe mis
take not over nine hundred and ninety-
nine thousand times, thereby costing tbe
Banner some six thousand dollars paid
for setting up the allusions
Editor Moore explained very satisfac
torily bit entire innocence, clearing bis
skirts of blame, and nothing more would
have been beard from it but for the un
fortunate and costly vein of humor run
ning through the editorial composition
of the Banner editor, whose sense of tbe
ridiculous is really little short of the
miraculous, it is a parallel case to the
man who laughed himself to death
watching a horse drink water. It was
so nproarously funny!
Unless some measures are adopted to
arrest tills facetiousuesa serious conse
quences may result to tbe editorial “we"
and grave financial disaster may “follow
fast and follow faster” in tbe wake of
the droll editor of the Banner.
Editor Moore doubtlessly has long
since repented in sackcloth and ashes
the slip mode by tbe self-sufficient and
verdant member of bis staff, since it
promises to wreck the finances of tbe
Banner and cause its editor to literally
“laugh himself out of this world,” and
it requires even row but a feeblo flight
of the imagination to hear his silvery
laughter echoing and re-echoing across
tiie Stygian tides.
Editor Stovall's pen will now grace

The Macon Evening Xewa explodes
-an improbable story about Colquitt's re
Mrement from the aenstorahlp and
-Crisp's elevation to it. That Crisp will
eventually be senator ia a foregone and
tindenied conclusion. M
The holiday Issue of the Atlanta
Jourual was a crowning event in news
paper push and enterprise. Its special
-stories were an exceptionally fine fea
ture, and the whole issue was full of
choice and varied reading.
Students of natural philosophy might
reflect on the curious phenomenon that
whenever Jay Gonld crawls into his hole
and pulls the hide in after him, there
a vacuum created—and it Is always in
somebody else's bank account.

Inman Is still on top and everything la

wants to know is what does the talented
but retiring Jay Gould think of all this
business?
It is said that Senator Plumb ate him
self todeath, and that too at a dinner
given by Billy Mahone. Now if he had
uniy eaten little Billy and then climbed
the golden stair, there would be sueb
a silver lining to the cloud of grief that
hangs over tbe catafalque of the all-tie*

The slate Is fixed (by tbe slate makers
of course) for Col. Jim Blount, after
twenty years’ service as Congressman, to
become a "minister - plenipotentiary'
(whatever that may mean) under the
next Democratic president. This would
bo ail very nice, If there was as much
certainty about the Democratic president
as this slate seems to indicate.
Eihtou Howell of the Constitution
was a prominent factor in och'eving tbe
victory for Crisp |n the late speakership
contest. Editor Howell'ls much more of
a “Warwick” in polities than many iro
agios, and should his friends do as much
for him as he has done for them, there
would be very few plums on the bush lie
wouldn't get it he wanted tberti.
Thirteen months ago, just aftor the
great Democratic tidal wave swept over
the laod and mado everybody so ha *py,
Amerlcua had a great truly, with five-
works, orations, etc., and among tbe
transparencies tlieu exhibited was one
showing Speaker Crisp kuoeblng Tom
Heed out with the gavel, when their po
sitions became reversed. At the same
big rally Judge Crisp was introduced by
his enthusiastic frfendi as the “prospec
tive Speaker of tbe 52od Congress,” and
he was cheered to the echo. All of
wbieh goes to show that aa prophets the
people of Amerioos were a gigantic suc
cess. In foot, nobody here ever bad the
slightest doubt of Crlap’s success from
that time to December 7th, 1801.
SUMTER COUNTY BEADY.
Governor Northern is preparing an ad
dresa to the people 6f tbe atate, wbiob
be will give out for publication In a few
days. y
Tbe address is for tbe purpose of stim
ulating interest In the movement to raise
a sufficient sum. of money for an exhibit
of Georgia’s resource* at tbe world's
fair.
He was appointed to this dnty by the
executive committee appointed by tbe
editors’ convention, at Ite meeting in
Macon last Wednesday-!
He is thoroughly enthusiastic over tbe
matter, and believes tbe necessary
amount will be raised oasily.
“Tbe movement,” said he, in talking
of the matter yesterday, “is thoroughly
organized, and every Georgia editor is
enlisted. I find that the people are
olive to the necessity of snob an exhibit
wherever I go. The editors are writing
editorials on it, and when tbe organised
press of Georgia cannot do a thing, oth
ers stand a poor show 'of success.”
He is at work on the address now, and
will bavatt ready in a few days,
Sumter county has one man who is a
good fair or exposition by himself, J. F.
Boas, whose exhibits at our several
' Georgia fairs have attracted so much at
tention and won him so many premi
ums. And if every editor in Georgia
will “trot out" such a man as the
ThiEs-BxooBDEB does in tbe person of
- J. F. Boss, Georgia will not occupy a
hack seat at the World's Fair by any

house cannot attend to these matters and leaves them to the really
superior judgment of his "frau.” She “shops” around and
generally knows very quickly where she prefers to bny her shoes.
