Once Again.
Have you heard of the late happen
ings? Well I'll tell you the great in
ternational fair of Atlauta has closed,
the criminal branch of Henry C>unty
Superior court has adjoined, and the
question naturally arises what will
happen next. The next big thing I’m
looking for is an all-day presidential
election, which will happen on the 6:h
of November. So come out all you
democrats and well filled basket*—no,
pockets of tickets I mean aud pu‘ them
in for Bryan. We will want a big vote
polled for Mr. Bryan so we can have a
whole lot of votes to spare, aud all we
don’t need in Georgia we cau send to
Ohio and some other doubtful states.
The next big thing I am expecting
to occur after the election is a whole
lot of government appointees getting
out and a whole lot getting in. * It will
be ‘rats to your holes” aud don’t you
forget it. lam looking for that very
thing to happeo. Now ufter all these
things are over then what ? We cau’t
afford to lie still till Christmas, before
■we have something funny. O'a, there
is the Jackson carnival to come in # sor
ter between drinks or drams. Yes let’s
not forget that, for it will ba a swell
affair and McDonough ought to turn
out in full force. I aim to go myself
lor I have a lew acquaintances down
Jhere and they will be glad to see me I
loow. I didn’t get to go to the At
lanta show, nor to Macon, nor to Grif-
Sn. So I’ll say to you Jackson folks
that if 1 cm b rrow some clothes that
will do to wear in company you may
look fer m», for I love to go to Jacksou
auyway, aud on euch an oceasiou as
the carnival will b- it will ba doubly
sojoy able, for Jackson never does
things by halves I dou’t drink liquor,
oor I don’t cuss, nor I don’t preach,
but I do love to have a iittie tun occa
siojally, and I duu’c think of anything
that would beat going down aud min
gling with our Butts county neighbors
on the oth and 6 h of December next.
Now, ifjauy of you follows waot to
go and bavu’t got the money you can
j t«t call on me, and I’ll give you a
ticket—to—stay at home, for it doesn’t
matter which side of tbe river a man
is on if he basn t got any mouev.
l’rylu yours, Ignoramus.

that names have been stricken from

partes, we have no evidence as to who
the parties are. We respectfully rec
ommend that in future the custodian of

and also that he be careful to comply
with the law in sendiug out sheets for
receiving names to be registered with
