PLACES WREATH | AROUND EXHIBIT Atlanta Chamber of Com merce Honors a Dead Corn Club Boy. The Chamber of Commerce to day sent to the capitol a beauti ful wreath of white and pink roses, and the floor management of the show, at the chamber’s request, had it placed around the exhibit of little Ralph Whatley, of Fayette county, who died just two weeks before the show was opened. This little fellow made a fine crop of corn on on his acre of ground, and was very proud of it. He had looked forward to the Atlanta show for months and fully expected to attend. A few weeks ago, however, typhoid fever seized him and he passed away at his home in Fay ette. Just before he died he request ed that his exhibit be taken to the “big show in Atlanta.” • The Chamber of Commerce, which is backing the corn show in away, was deeply touched by this boy's enthusiasm, even at the brink of the grave, and to day gave its official, if melan choly, approval of the same in the beautiful wreath of flowers, with which the exhibit will re main surrounded throughout the show. . Hundreds of visitors were at tracted by this exhibit and the pathos of it.—Atlanta Georgian. Notice to Public.

If the South is the saddle now, it is riding as modestly as gal lantly. Senator Claude Swanson of Virginia, who was a young con gressman in 1884, remember how the regiments of Southern Dem ocrats, long exiled and hungry, swarmed over the Cleveland bos om in such numbers and enthusi asm that the “Only Democratic President” fled for refuge to the duck marshes of Virginia. And Senator Swanson notes now with pardonable pride the dignity and res< e with which the more pro ius sons of Dixie are wa ig on Wilson’s pleasure for distribution of the spoils. Our : • ighhor of the Sun is seal than historical when it challenges the right of the Democratic South to any special claim to patronage and office. The Sun has forgotten. It was the South which for a quarter century after the war vertebrae and stalwart ribs of the Demo cratic party. From Grant to Cleveland the South furnished the great ma jority of the votes and a general share of brains, and its claims to reward is past perfect in loyalty. At the time, too, when the South’s strong personal pillars are propping the Democratic structure in Congress and the Senate and the courts, any Sou- 1 them modesty in the neighbor-1 hood of the offices is as commen dable as it is rare, Farmer Eats Potato And Drops Over Dead Gibson, Ga., Dec. 5.—J. C. A. Wilcher, one of Glascock county’s oldest and most prominent farm ers, died here suddenly yester-i day afternoon. He had just! eaten a potato which is supposed j to have caused acute indigestion. Nothing better for the pigs than Rape. Get the seed at Mt. Vernon Drug Co.—ad. » .

Both mandibles of the parrot’s beak are movables, but most birds are able to move only one. The horse has no eyebrows. The appearance of much white in the eye of a horse indicates a vicious nature. The stork is partial to kittens as an article of food, and the cats reciprocate by a love for young storks. The frog, owing to its peculiar structure, cannot breathe with the mouth open, and if it were forcibly kept open the animal would die of suffocation. Whalebone is found in the mouth of the whalebone whale, where it forms the substitute for the teeth, of which otherwise the animal is destitute. Pigs are poor swimmers, their forelegs being set closely under them, and when they fall into the water they sometimes cut their throats with the sharp! points of their cloven feet. The eyes of hares are never closed, as they are unprovided with eyelids. Instead thereof they have a thin membrane which covers the eye when asleep, and i probably also when at rest. The deer is furnished with I i supplementary breathing places! in addition to the nostrils, and, this would appear to be an extra ordinary provision of nature giv ing the beast of the chase a freer 1 respiration. Fishes swallow their food has-' tily and without mastication, be-1 ; cause they are obliged unceas- [ ingly to open and close the jaws j for the purpose of respiration I and cannot long retain food in the mouth when quite shut. The hump on the back of the dromedary is an accumulation of | a peculiar species of fat, which is a store of nourishment benefi cently provided against the day : > of fasting. i PICKS UP FIERY CIGARETTE Bird Causes the Burning of School Building. Valparaiso, Ind. —A smoldering cigarette picked up and carried by a sparrow to the belfry of Main hall on the University of Valparaiso campus the other day set fire to the structure and al most resulted in its destruction. It was only through strenuous ef forts on the part of the fire com pany and the students that the building, an old landmark, was saved. The belfry is used by a large number of sparrows as a place to build their nests. One of the I students threw a lighted ciga rette on the campus and an in i quisitive bird searching for some thing with which to line her nest, | picked it up and flew to the tow ler. A few minutes later students passing the building saw sever;.l of the nests ablaze and the birds I were flying and screaming. The fire company was summon ! ed, but by the time it arrived the tower had caught fire from Ih< nests, and, fanned by a stiff I breeze, the flames threatened th<* entire structure. On account of the height of the tower, the fight, against the flames was a hat 1 one, but re-enforced by a num ber of students, the fire company finally was successful. Dwelling for Sale.
