Weldon Price, a prominent
Oconee farmer, died Tuesday.
Crawfordvillo real estate is on

Carter Harrison has been

A gentleman of Augusta, who
was an officer in the army dur

he was often introduced as the

Sitting near a window we look
ed out upon a widely extended
landscape that seemed exposed
to view. As we sat thus there
appeared to be flying through
the air at some distance a large
' bird of a description we had nev
■ or before seen. Ever and anon
it would appear to approach
nearer and then float
away; and it was not easy to
mig(3 what st y[ e 0 f movement it
would next assume. While we
cou Id not at all decide upon the
it wag> we cou ld not
doubt that it was really a bird.
We continued to watch it with
eager interest and for a time
there was no suspicion that we
j were laboring under an optical
delusion. After a time,
i er. the atmosphere grew more
clear; gradually our vision be
j came more distinct. In no great
time that which had seemed a
scene of broad extent became
a single pane of glass, and the
huge bird so airily sporting in
majestic curves became re
vealed a small fly attempting es
cape from its narrow prison
house.
Quite as great illusions as this
do we experience in regard to
many things that we contemplate
Many things upon which we be
stow assiduous watchingare real
ly not as they seem. Not seldom
do we allow orr imaginations to
magnify something that has ar
rested our interest gaze, into
many times its true proportions.
This is the case not only of ma
terial objects, but from any noth
in g we erect castles in Spain of
| the grandest proportions and the
nt ost artistic finish. Not many
fail at some time of their lives to
see some* fairy vision melt away
j J at the touch of reality. Very
oftOQ too . we hav6 to „ n dergo a
aisilluisioniug . in regard . o _____ to our
f e jj ow mortals. Not a few of
them appear in some way better
i or greater than the facts
warrant. Some too, though per
haps not so m any are not so bad
;l s we have allowed our fancies
to paint them. Could we become
entirely disillusioned and see
men and things just as they are,
we would hardly believe our
selves in the same world.

less he voted foiHiimin 1896 and

We don’t know whether Mr.
Bryan thinks that or not, but it
appears to us to be pretty good
party policy. Party honors
should certainly go to those who
are loyal and the only safe test
i that we know of is in voting
party ticket. ,. . It T is . a poor

was the .. Democratic „ .. Nominee ,, in
1896 and in 1900. and those who
failed to vote for him fell short
of the first essential duty of
Democrats and were found want
ing in the supreme test of party
loyalty. If the self-appointed
leaders who are talking about
“reorganizing” the Democrhtic
* ,art >* are Kv»»g , their ulans to

Byvan was the nominee, they

An 830.00 bank clerk got away
with 93.00 “plunks” in Atlanta.
Don’t you wish you lived in At
lanta and were a bank clerk? He
was so nervy, too. Didn't ask to
be carried home to mother when
the flashlight was used. There
seems to be two things a poor
man learns in high society, t hat
is: how to steal and how to hold
the countenance. Nerve some
call it; seared conscience would
tit it better, maybe.

It is rumored among the out-
1 of-town folks that a certain 1 egro
| on tria [ f or vagrancy proved that
1 he had worked 397 days in one
year, besides the time he lost in
loafing. That’s a record.
Billy Bryan doesn’t fail to stick
his little knife in every “sound
money” man’s boom that is
started and the boom is no more.
And yet there are some people
who will swearon the stand that
he is a “dead cock in the pit.”
Billy B. is alright; the plain
people’s trusted leader for many
years yet to come.
All prospective candidates for
Democratic presidential nomina
tions would do well to get their
names on Bryan's bookmakers’
book before they groom for the
race.

We heard some talk of mak
ing a new judicial circuit with
Eloertinit. The Northern cir
cuit is the biggest in the state
and Judge Holden the hardest
worked Judge. He holds 20
weeks of court, regular terms,
with about an average of 10
weeks of adjourned terms. The
other 22 weeks of the year, he is
busy hearing motions, granting
charters, signing orders and por
ing over legal problems that
contending lawyers of ingenuity
endeavor to make applicable
to their respective clients. Its
work and. worry enough for half
