Special Correspondence Kecoudeb.
Atlanta, Ga., June 7.—There
ure some curious adventurers iu this
world.
If X were to get hurt and they
were to carry me in some place, aud
f were to happen to see the face of
oue man that 1 know at the window,
I’d just fold iuv imtuls aud give up
the ghost without protest.
■ He is the chroulc coroner’s juror.
Since jurors in these cases get oue
dollar a day for their services, it is
a right grand thing to be caught on
the jury.
This man, with bis cold, impas-
give face aud his fixed stare, will
bung aroitud the entrance to a room
where some poor devil lies roaming
in mental .£ony hour after hour,
waiting ou death.
“Is lie dead yet?"
That is the question he asks of
each passer by, aud if you auswer
"no, but he is dying,” a smile Dick
ers lor a moment over his face and
there is a twinkle in his eye over
the prospect.
But If you say: “No, and he is not
likely to die,” theu this man will
heuve a sigh and mutter:
‘•Ob, H 11!"
He Is a regular old loo-loo, this
juror is, auii that’s why I’d hate to
see his face if I were sick.
A MEMORY OF MUCKALEE.
"Hello, Stumpy!”
I like to have jumped clear off the
earth and as I wheeled around I
came face to face with—
"Old John Coker, by the eternal
jag of ail the jingoes!"
Then we stood there grinning at
each other aud Blinking each other
by the hand and looking awful fool-
Ish—at least I was, for I couldn't
think of anything to say.
"Stumpy, do you remember fish
ing in Muckalee?”
Yes, I remember thnt day in
Muckalee. I told a lie and said I
was sick so as to get away from
town that day, and old man John
aud I lit out for Muckalee, while
dew was on the blossom.
Aud it was
Noon tims, amt Juno time.
Anil down around tho river,
that day iu Muckalee. I remember
he made me carry the lunch aud he
carried the licker. ,
It was a brand iu fashion—J mean
the licker, not the lunch—Just at
that tlifie. Duffey’s malt. I have
not seen any in a long while, and 1
guess Its like Scklerdam Schapps,
gone out of style and lost Its power
to please.
Oh, that was a merry day in
Muckalee, where the waters glide
sweetly and the dickies sing.
I dug muscles out of the sand for
bait, aud helped to drag that old
canoe over the logs and through the
shallows, and I also helped
To empty that bottle. Those were
tlie wild and woolly days of my
golden youth, when I could take a
day off aud not discovers whole
menagerie of snakes and monkeys
in my bed-room next day.
We saug songs, I remember oue,
which was not much of a song, but
the chorus rau:
“ A little more ram anil toddy,
A little more rum and toddy,
Some for me _ .
And some you,' ~
And some for e-everybody."
Why, we sang that song until the
coolers crawled out on the bank and
danced a highland tling.
That night was the one that caus
ed me so much trouble, when I at
tempted to eat a rubber doll, and
thought I surely had 'em.
Away along about four o’elock,
the old man John accidently hooked
a poor little gudgeon of a roaoh by
the tail, and that was all the flan
we caught, but we certainly bad a
rum old time of it. I don’t know
which was most surprised, Coker
or the fish, but I shall never forget
the look of startled astonishment
on the face of that roach as he came
wri(gltng out of the depths of
Muckalee, to the tune of
A little mors rum and toddy,
A little more rum and toddy,
Home for me
And tome for yon,
And tome for e-everybody.
SOME POLITICAL GOSSIP.
Do you know that I doubt if either
Col. Livingston or Col. Northen la
the next Governor of Georgia?
I about half believe that the man
tle will fall on that grand old Ro
man, Thomas Hardeman, of Macon.
Possibly the wish is father to the
thought with me, for I believe he
would not only make one of the
best that Georgia has ever known,
but if ever man deserved political
honor, that man ia Hon. Thomas
Hardeman.
But then it may be somebody
else, entirely. Who knows ?
They’re having a good deal of fun
over the race for commissioner of
agrioulture, and more Interest is
being manifested in that race than
in the gubernatorial.
Here in Fnlton we are likelv to
have- Mine sport with the legisla
tive aspirants. Clark Howell, Jim
O'Neal and Mr. Tallafero are all
that are in sight, bnt I guess they’ll
bod up serenely later on.
Now that Sam Small has gone to
Utah the prohibitionists are with
out a standard bearer, and there is
considerable speculation as to who
will succeed him. M. M, F.

Believing that the
many houses now be
ing built will add
greatly to the demand
for carpets we have
concluded to add that

our business.
In embarking in a
new line we had an
eye upon the present
demands of the trad
ing public and will
offer as inducements
to trade with us:
1.—Lowest prices.
^ 2 —Matched Car
pets (which means no
loss to the purchaser?
We have one of U.

tors and will be pleas
ed to show our sam
ples to all who will
favor us with a call.
3.—Easy payments.
In other words we sell
carpets and rugs on
weekly and monthly
payments, thereby en
abling almost every
body to own one or
more carpets.

ially invited to call
