LA mil’s LIST. Matilda Butler JIM CALLOWAY’S STORY. Sopped Over the Line. Vienna, Dec. 23.—(Special.)—Harry S. Edwards has made immortal the Dooly county safe. But lie has never searched I its archives and brought forth the many j wonderful things it contains. Yesterday; ! after I had filched from the good den - i zens of Vienna all the filthy lucre I ; could extort for the “great ami good j Telegraph,” I sauntered into the court ! house and took a peep into the big safe, j A paper, marked and filed after the manner of divorce suits, caught my eye. It is about this paper which concerned i a man and woman whom for conven ience will be called Mr. and Mrs. Smith that I write. Mr. and Mrs. .Smith lived years ago in the lower edge of Doolv county, not very far from the new pretty ; town of Cordele. They were not rich people and had been married some j couple ol years. Smith cultivated a i small tract of land, had a cow or two, j raised a few shotes for hog-killing time, while Mrs. Smith looked after her part of the duties that came in the ceremony part of marriage. It was Christmas eve, but Mr. and Mrs. Smith had not decora ted their cabin home with ivy and holly and bamboo. They had spent the eve in visiting a neighbor and had arrived borne so late that Smith said to his wife: “Sal, you need not cook rcg’lar supper. Jess fetch your pan in here and the griddle an’ we’ll take 41 snatch in here.” And so Mrs. Smith did. She soon had the hoecakcdone and the ham and gravy J ready. Smith and Mrs. Smith sat them selves down on the hearth; and with fry- | A nderson, Matilda Butler, ! Big pan between them began their scanty, I Sarah Bowery, Mamie Bradley, Nellie I repast.

There is only one side to the^Hawaiian question and that is the one presented by President Cleveland in his message. To The Race for Governor. The walk-over for Gen. Evans was an irrideseent dream, beautiful to the eye, but very unsubstantial to the touch.— Griffin Daily News. Gen. Evans is a good man, highly res pected and greatly beloved by those who know him best, and whether he occupies the governor’s ehair or not, Stewart coun ty is honored in her distinguished son.— Richland Gazette. It is a fact worthy of note in the gub ematorial situation that there is more t talk in the state press favorable to At- j kinson’s candidacy for governor than ■ there was a week or ten days ago. Quite j a number of newspapers that have been 1 non-committal have, announced that they will support him in the race. This tends to discourage the idea that has been advanced rather prematurely in some quarters that Gen. Evans would have a walk-over. It is more than likely that the campaign next year will remind Georgians of old times, when the great prize was only won by the hardest kind of fighting.—Columbus Enquirer-Sun. JHMSTMAS BELLS.

The instrumental music of Misses Grace, S essoins and May Mur phy and recitation of Miss Emma Al bertson are worthy of special mention. Yesterday’s Big Dove Shoot. Seventeen gentlemen engaged in a big dove shoot yesterday on the plantation of Mr. W. P. Leo just across the river. Four hundr cd and seventy-one doves were bagged and the occasion was most agreeable and pleasant to all the parties engaged.

Smith was by nature a very greedy man, and his eyes became awfully avaric ious, and what Mrs. Smith took lie began to begrudge. It just so happened to Smith that he could no longer brook the idea of things in common, especially as he saw the pan was tilting the gravy to her side. So Smith bethought himself of a device to protect his rights and se cure the biggest half of the supper, and Smith forthwith took his finger and drew a dead-line across the frying pan, and lookiug the devil and Tom Walker at Mrs. Smith said: “Sal,” if you sop over that dead-line I’ll bjfak this pau over your head.” Women are curious things “Sal” was living in love and peace with Mr. Smith. But why did he tempt her to cross that line? Why limit her rights in the game lor supper?” And “Sal” prompted suddenly'by some spirit of op position, or feeling she had not had her just portion, broke oil’a piece of the hoe- cake and reaohing way over the dead line, fetched a swipe across the pan that | played havoc with the gravy. Where upon Smith, without further provoca tion, jerked up the pan and brought it down upon Mr. Smith’s head. Fortu nately for Mrs. Smith’s cranium, the pan was au old one, being part of the dowry brought from the parental home, and tlic bottom gave way, leaving her head encircled by the pan, with grease (that very gravy which was the casus belli) flowing all down her neck and throat and their environments despoiling her dress and destroying all her regard for her gluttonous husband. Mrs. Smith brought suit for divorce, and the pleadings s|iow that all her ill treatment was for the lone cause that she “sopped over the line.” The jury "tanted, as juries always do, a divorce to both parties. But it was only fbr*a short time that .Smith’s name alue to its people. As soon as the disease ceased to exist the bright litile paper began to brighten and im prove, and each day since it has ap peared with all the local and general news and a message of good cheer and encouragement for the citizens of Brunswick.

Jacksonville, Fla., Dec. 27.—Charley Mitchell and his party got in at 11 o’clock this morning.

Friend- of Mitchell say his presence in Florida puts wings to Brady’s bet of §1,000 that the Eng lishman wouldn’t euter the ring. As to An Income Tax. The Democrats in Congress seem to be divided on everything and united on nothing in the way of party measures to be considered at this session. They split on the silver question, they are di vided on th? tariff, and now there are two factions making War on each other over the proposed income tax. Tlieie are two factions of income tax ers. One faction favors taxing individual incomes, while another wants to tax the incomes or dividends of corporations. The corporations are composed of in dividuals, and an income tax or corpora tions will, in a sense, be an individual tax in its last analysis, but the politi cians no doubt tliink that it will not sound so harsh to call it corporation tax as it would if it were known and applied as au individual income tax. President Cleveland is taking a lively , iuterest in the fight, and is pulling for the good t the corporation tax, while the advocates j things i*f life stuck to him, and all his j of the individual tax are indulging in friends aud acquaintances, and especially j so * ne strong talk about what they l in their dealings with him to “sop over the line.” Mrs Smith—the “Sal** of the story— • ver married again.
