A Pretty Picture.
A writer in the Atlanta Constitution
lints describe-, an ellegant home in
Stock bridge :
"The prettiest sight that has greeted
'my eyes in many a day was that of a
brighi-ev< tl, beautiful little tot feeding
her pigeons. They were great fri- lids
—this little one and her pigeons—and
it was evident from the way they flew
about her, pearched upon her and took
their meals from her hands and mouth
that were on the chummiest of terms.
A Kodak snapshot enabled me to show
something of that picture, but no news
paper cut would do justice to the scene
as I remenber it. The little one was
Mr. Hob Hemphill’s habv daughter.
She is three years old, bright and
pretty ; and as she fed tlie white-wing
ed pigeons she seemed a part of her
surroundings. It was at their country
home near Stockbridge, There Mrs.
Hemphill and her children and Mrs.
Hemphill’s mother, Mrs C. A. l’itts,
spend their summers. The home is
an ideal one—a cottage situated iti a
beautiful grove, surrounded by broad
fields.
The home is just what a home
should be for comfort, the grove is a
positive luxury—such a grove as deni
zens of the city see m their dreams,
hut seldom are privileged to see. Then
thei e is the garden and the orchard,
wherein there is always an abundance
of fruits, berries, melons and all the
delicacies of the country.
All of these things attracted me as 1
drove up to the house and wandered'
over the grounds, hut none were as
attractive as the children and the pig
eons.
T here were pigeons and pigeons—
white winged beauties, beauties with
wings tipped in the color of the rain
bow. As the golden haired lassie
stood with Iter arms outstretched, they
flew to lit r, cooing lovingly and gath
ered about her in a way that showed
they knew her and loved her. The
pigeons were friendly with others, too.
I saw the two little sisters seated on
the ground with pigeons all around
them, and in another group were visit
ing lady friends, who seemed to enjoy
the novelty as much as did the little
ones ”
How He Solti the Goods.
“Have you got any huff trimming to
go with this stuff ?” asked a flashily
dressed woman of an assistant in a large
draper’s near Regent street the other
day.
"1 think so, miss,” answered the po
lite young man, taking down a piece of
goods and spreading it on the counter.
"Ruff! Do you call that buff?” ex
claimed the woman That’s too dark
for a huff.”
“But, miss, that is”
“It’s too dark ! I can see it is.”
“Why, of course it’s dark, madam,”
persisted the man. “It's blind man's
buff—the new shade, you see.”
He sold the goods.— London Tit-
Bits.
The First Horn.
Young Father—l am amazed, shock
ed, my dear, to hear you say you in
tend to give the baby some paregoric.
Don’t you know paregoric is opium,
and opium stunts the growth, enfeebles
the constitution, weakens the brain,
destroys the nerves, and produces rick
ete, marasmus, consumption, insanity
and death ?”
Young Mother—Horrors! 1 never
heard a word about that. I won’t give
the little ducy darling a drop, no. in
deedy. Hut something must he done
to stop his yelling. You can carry
' him awhile.
Father (after an hour’s steady stamp
ing with the squalling infant) —Where
in thunder is that paregoric?—New

The Danger Signal.
When nature raises the flag of dis
tress in the shape of sores, ulcers, boils,
pimples and blotches, the stngnal should
be promptly heeded. As cities threat
ened with disease are disinfected, so
should the human system he treated.
No mote powerful or more successful
disinfectant and purifier than S. S. S.
has ever been discovered. It figs ac
compjished wonderful results, and there
are thousands of people in this country
to dav who regard the proprietors of
S. S. S. as benefactors. What it has
already accomplished it will continue
to accomplish. It is already establish
ed as a stiple family medicine.
Mr. A. B Laforme, Boston, Mass.,
says: I ordered and distributed one
dozen large bottles Bradycrotine among
my friends afflicted with headache, and
iu every case it has afforded almost in
stantaneous relief.

ADDRESS OF THE GENERAL
COMMANDING.
Atlanta, Ga., Sep. 3, 1881).
To Tin-: Kx-SoLuntns ano Sailors
Of TllE CONKKDKK YTE STATES OE
America :
The convention of delegates from
the different s ates which assembled in
New Orleans, June 10, 188!), effected
a general organization known as the
“United Confederate Veterans.” It is
designed as an association of all the
bodies of ex-Confederate Veterans and
Sailors thioughout the U.,ion. The
convention adopted a constitution and
did me the great honor to elect me
General, which position I accepted
with peculiar gratification Prelimina
ry to the issue of the orders I wish to
call general attention to the
OBJECT OF THIS ASSOCIATION
and to enlist in their accomplishment
to active co-operation not only of every
survivor of Southern armies, hut also
the large contingent of sons of veterans
who, too young to have received the
baptism ol fire, h ive nevertheless re
ceived with you the baptism of suf
fering and of sacrifice.
The first article of the constitution
of the association declares : “ The ob
ject and purpose of this organization
will be strictly social, literary, histori
cal and benevolent. It will endeavor
to unite in a general federation all as
sociatious of the Cjufederate veterans,
soldiers and sailors now in existence or
hereafter to he formed ; to gather au
thentic data for an impartial history of
the war between the states ; to pre
serve the relics or mementoes of the
same ; to cherish the ties of friendship
that should exist among the men who
have shared common dangers, common
suffering and privati >n ; to care for
the disabled and extend a helping hand
to the needy ; to protect the widow and
orphan and to make and preserve the
record of the services of every member
and as far as possible, of those of our
comrads who have pieceded us in eter
nity.”
The last article provides that nei
ther discussion or political or religious
subjects nor any political action shall
be permitted in the organization and
any association violating that provision
shall forfeit its membership.
GOOD OBJECTS.
Comrades, no argument is needed to
secure for those objects your enthusi
astic endorsement. They have bur
dened your thoughts for many years,
you have cherished them in sorrow,
poverty and humiliation. In the face
of rnisconstructian you have held them
in your heart with the strength of re
ligious convictions. No misjudgements
can defeat your peaceful purposes for
the future. Your aspirations have been
lifted by the mere force and urgency
of surrounding conditions to a plane
far above the paltry consideration of
partisan triumph. The honor of the
American Republic, the just powers of
the federal government, the equal
rights of states, the integrity of the
constitutional union, the sanctions of
law and the enforcement of order have
no c'ass of defenders more true and
devoted than the ex soldiers of the
South and their worthy descendants.
But you realize the great truth that a
people without the memories of hero
ic sufferings and sacrifices are
A PEOPLE WITHOUT A HISTORY.
To cherish such memories and recall
such a (last, whether crowned with
success or consecrated in defeat, is to
idealize principle and strengthen char
acter, intensify love of country and
convert defeat and disaster into pillars
of support for future manhood. Wheth
er the Southern people under their
changed conditions may ever hope to
witness another civilization which
shall equal that which began with their
Washington and ended with their Lee,
it is certainly true that devotion to their
glorious past is not only the surest
guarantee of future progress and the
holiest bond of unity, hut is also the
strongest claim they can present to the
confidence and respect of the other sec
tions of the Union.
Nos|-POI.|TH A 1..
In conclusion I hog to repeat, in
substance at least, a few thoughts re
cently expressed by me to the state or
ganization, which apply with equal
force to this general brotherhood.
It is political in no sense except so
far as the word “political” is a synonym
of the word “patriotic.” It is a broth
: erhood over which the genius of phil
anthropy and patriotism, of truth and
of justice will preside; of philanthropy,
h cause it will succor the disabled, help
the needy, strengthen the weak and
cheer the disconsolate; of patriotiso},
because it will cherish the past glorit*>
of the dead Confederacy and transmute
them into living inspirations for future
service to the living republic; of truth,
because it will seek to gather and (ire
serve as witnesses for history the un
impeachable facts which shall doom
falsehood to die that truth may live; of
justice, because it will cultivate nation
al as well as Southern fraternity and
will condemn narrow-mindedness and
prejudice and passion, and cultivate
that broader, higher, nobler sentiment,
which would write on the grave of ev
ery soldier who fell on either side :
“Here lies an American hero, a mar
tyr to the right as his conscience con
ceived it.”
(Hi N Kli ALOK< 1A NIZ AT I ON.
I rejoice that a general organization
too long neglected has been at last per
fected. It is a biotherliood which all
honorable men must approve and which
heaven itself will bless. I call upon
you therefore to organize in every state
and community where ex-Confederates
may reside and rally to the support of
the high and peaceful objects of the
“United Confederate Veterans,” and
move forward until by the power of
organization and persistent effort your
beneficent and Christian purposes are
fully accomplished. .1. B. Gordon.
Com. General.
For Baby’s Sake.
We witnessed the othor uveiling a
touching incident that occurred on one
of the streets of the beautiful Gate City
of the South.
In the doorway of a drinking saloon
stood two men who bore the traces ol
recent dissipation. The elder, and if
possible more dissipated looking, was
urging his companion to step inside ami
take a ‘smile,’ as lie termed it.
He was about to comply with the
request when a woman stepped for
ward. In the glare of the street lamp
it was evident that she was young and
once beautiful—perhaps before she
bore that dreadful brand upon Iter
face, the brand of a drunkard’s wife.
“Don’t go, John, for my sake,” she
said pleadingly.
With an oath the husband turned to
join his drunken companion.
Nothing daunted, she stepped for
ward again, and laying her hand softly
on the man’s arm whispered :
“Don’t go for baby’s sake.”
“For baby's sake!” The words
were like magic. And here was a pic
ture. In the glare of the street lamp
stood the tempter, the tempted, and the
noble, patient wife.
A moment of suspense followed,
while the woman scanned eagerly the
bloated face of her husband. She
conquered. Turning from his compan
ion, he whispered lioarsidy :
“Go on, Ben, I am not with you to
night Then turning to his wife,
’Mary, God giving ine the strength,
I’ll never drink another drop—for ha
by’s sake.”
She drew her faded shawl about her,
and we watched them walk away to
gether in the darkness, to the little child
at home all unconscious of the noble
work performed. Something like tears
glistened in our eyes, and a fervent
prayer arose to God to give that father
strength to resist temptation.
“For baby’s sake.” What a tem
perance lecture—grander than ever giv
en by Gough.
Young men—fathers—ye who stand
on the brink of destruction with the
yawning chasm of intemperance at
your feet, stand hack! Dash the wine
cup from your lips—“for baby’s sake.
Old Mr. Ifayrake.—You city fellows
are mighty sly. You come up here
aud take our pretty girls out sailing
and buggy riding; but I notice you
never talk none about it.
Tom De Wit—No, when we go to
see a gii 1 more than once the whole
village does the talking.
Wife—l am going to economize in
our household, George.
Husband—Why, you prudent little
soul, huw '(
I’m going to discharge our servant
and get an oldet person.
Well, that will do no good ; the older
one will demand just as much wages.
Wife—(looking at him straight)—
Very likely, Mr. Brown, hut you won’t
j need to give her half caowns, and what
kisses you want you can have from
me —me, sir.

)\ hy We Lai'oii. —One of the fun
niest things that ever occurred in this
town was pu'led off in srood shape
Tuesday afternoon. On Monday we
got a keg of red ink from Chicago, he
ing tin* Ii rat thing of the sort ever seen
in this part of Arizona, our esteemed
cotemporary down the street has had a
great tiling to hear from us, and the
red ink was the last straw, lie sent us
word that he intended to shoot us on
sight, hut we had forgotten about it
when we started for the postoflice at 3
o’clock. As we passed Santa Fe alley
we heard a pistol go off followed by
several successive reports, but as there
was nothing unusual in a fusilade of
that sort, we kept on. It was not un
til we had entered the I’ost-Ortice that
Col. Itwin caine running in to inform
us that we had been shot at.
It seemed that our esteemed contem
porary had ambushed us at the alley
and fired his first shot. Then he fol
lowed on and plugged away five times
more without our suspecting it, and
finding lie could not accomplish any
thing lie sat down on a barrel and
cried like a hov. When we under
stood tile case we went hack and offer
ed to stand against the wall and let
him pop away for half a day, but he
went off’ ill a petulant spirit without
even thankiug us. l’oor old daddv !
A W oitii To Major Jones. — \Ve
understand that Major Jones is making
it his business to circulate around town
and tell everybody that we have deci
ded not to run for Mayor, even if the
nomination were offered us by accla
mation. In telling this the Major lies
and he knows he lies! No one has
authorized him to make any such
statement, and lie is actuated only by
the basest motives. YVe not only want
tlie nomination, hut we want to he
elected, and we shall work tootli and
toenail to get them.
A word with you, Major. If, after
your attention lias been called to this
notice, you prosist in your malicious
conduct, we shall take it as a personal
insult. That is, we shall strap on our
gun and meander around town, and as
we meander we shall look for you. If
you get the drop on us we shan’t kick,
but if you don’t you had better have
instructions already written out as to
where you want to be buried.
It’s Our Way. —There are ovor
two hundred subscribers on our books
who are owing us for two yeats’ sub
scription. Most of these are Eastern
people who have been accustomed to
paying for their paper about once in
lifty years. It will probably astonish
them to know that we run tilings on a
different basis out here. We don’t
want to he too sudden with them, and
therefore announce that this notice is
only preparatory. During the next
thirty days the delinquents can settle
up with hay, oats, com, live stock,
barbed wire, hides, pelts, whiskey, to
bacco or most anything else. After
that we shall mount our mule and look
up the rest of them up and wo de
cline to he responsible fjr the re

“Thoughtful Husband” was enabled to

comfortable belief that he had quit

Hut the Young Couple Hail a License,
and Got there .lust the Maine.
Alpharetta, Ga., September 2.
1 lie marriage on Wednesday afternoon,
of Mr. J. W Parks and Miss Emma
McElreath. was altogether a most novel
affair.
Wednesday afternoon as (lie ladies
who form a class at the schoolroom of
tlie “National Garment Gutter” were
assembling, they met at the classroom
a pretty country lass, who, upon inter
rogation, said site had come “just to
look on.”
Mr. Simons, one of the firm teaching
this method, soon entered, and, seeing
this new comer, cheerfully came to the
conclusion, “another new scholar,”
and scarcely had his hopes been enter,
tained, when in came the smiling, gen
ial Esquire Seale, who excitedly asked
Mr. Simons if lie could “carry on a
wedding in here,”
“Yes,” said lie, “and I will help
you.”
Forthwith a table was produced. Mr.
Mitchell, of the firm, asked to assist in
reading over the license, and then the
‘squiro announced ready. And who
should appear as t lie bride elect but
Mr. S inions’s “new scholar.”
A young man appeared upon the
scene, and, removing his hut, lie took
the fair one by tlie hand and they pre
sented themselves before the improvis
ed alter to be married, and were
promptly made man and wife.
’Squire Seale acquitted himself with
great credit and brevity, and after
blessing the couple hade them God
s|>eed on their life's journey.
Mr. Simons says that the ’squire
blessed them, hut others claim that he
said, “May the Lord have mercy on
your poor souls.”
The Girl to l>e Avoided.
She is the girl who takes you oft' in
one corner and tells you things that
you would not repeat to your moth
er.
She is the girl who is anxious to
have you join a party, which is to he “a
dead secret and at which, because
people are very free ami easy, you are
uncomfortable and wish you were at
home.
She is the girl who tries to induce
you, “just for fun,” to smoke a cigar
ette, or to take a glass of wine, and
you don’t know, and possibly she
does'nt, that many of the sinners of
to-day committed their first sins “just
for fun.”
She is the girl that persuades you
that to stay at home and care and love
your own, to help mother and to have
your pleasures at home and where the
home people can see them, is stupid
and tiresome ; and that spending the af
ternoon walking up anddown the street
looking at the windows and the people,
is “just delightful.”
She is the girl that persuades you
that slang is witty, that a loud dress
that attracts attention is “stylish,” and
that your own simple gowns are dowdy
and undesirable. Site does’nt know
nor do you, bow many women have
gone to destruction because of their
love for fine clothes.
She is the girl who persuades you
that to be on very familiar terms w ith
three or four young weu is an evidence
of your charms and fascination, instead
of being, as it is, an outward visible
sign of your perfect folly.
She is the girl who persuades you
that it is a very smart thing to be re
ferred to as “a gay girl.” She is very,
very much mistaken.”
And, of all others, she is the girl
who, no matter bow bard she may try
to make you believe in her, is to be
avoided —Ladies’ Home .Journal.

Sum .tones us u Drayman.
Before Sam .lones went to preach
j ing he ran a public dray in Carters
i ville, bis native town, 110 was a famil
iar figure around the depot, and he at
that tinje hauled all tho drummers’
trunks from the depot to the hotel.
Many veteran drummers yet remomher
Sam as a drayman. His outfit was a
I small rickety, rattling, ramshackling
wagon and an old sorrel horse, that
was old and experienced enough to
have come down from the revolution
ary war. This horse was a character
in his way, and some people say lie
was tho cause of Sam’s reformation.
He was as humble as a horse as one
would wish to see. He submitted to
all of Sam’s cull's and rebtills without
any protest other than mildly backing
his flea-bitten ears. He had an air of
one who was always deeply engaged in
thought, and looked upon the frivolities
of this life with supreme disdain. And
then Sam’s horse was extremely un
sociable in his tempermetit. He never
cared to make any new acquaintances
and seemed desirous of treading the
wine press of sorrow alone. For many
days he went on in the same quiet way
drawing Sam’s rickety old day with
sublimest fortitude. It was never nec
essary for Sam to tie him when he left
him, for he had such insurmountable
constitutional objections to locomotion
that there was little danger of him ta
king his departure. So Sam thought,
and so it « as for many, many days.
* *
l!ut things do not always remain the
same, alas !
fine day Sam’s horse was seon. to
the most extreme surprise of tho Car
tersvillians tearing down Main street
followed by the dray which was roll
ing from one side to the other. Down
the street he went like mad, and it
seemed wonderful to those who knew
him intimately that he could acquire
such speed. Sam, who had left him
for some purpose, stood watching his
mad career eagerly.
“lie’s decided to emigrate,” Sam
remarked, as the horse continued his
wild flight.
Presently the horse swerved to the
weight and tho wagon struck against a
tree with a crash and came to a stand
still.
I’he spectators all went down to
survey the wreck. It was a complete
one, indeed. Sam stood and looked at
it in silence for some moments in deep
reflection. There was a pathos in his
voice when he finally turned around
and said : ,
“I guess I'll have to find some o'hcr
way to make a living.”
In a few weeks Sam left Carters
ville and went down near Colum
bus.
‘‘The next 1 heard or saw of Sam,”
said the gentleman who told mo the
story, ‘lib came hack to Cartersville
and preached a sermon. I went out
to hear him, and 1 1 ever saw such a
complete change in i. man.”
A Colonel By Marriage.
A traveler in Texas says that he was
riding along a catile trail near the
New Mexico line when be met a rath
er pompous looking nat've of the re
gion, who introduced himself as Col.
Higgins, of Devil’s Uiver.
“Were you a colonel in the confed
erate army ?” I asked.
“No, sab.”
“On the Union side, then ?”
“No, sab: nevah wa3 in no war.”
“Belong to the Texas Ifangers r”
“No, sab, I do not.”
“Ah I see. You command one of
the state militia regiments ?”
“No, sab, I don’t. Don't know
nothing about soldiering.”
“Where, then, did you get the rank
of colonel ?”
“Use a kunnel by marriage, sab.”
“By marriage ? How’s that ?”
“I married the widow of a kunnel,
sah; Kunuel Thompson, of Waco.”
