TURNER AT HOME.
lie Will Commence an ActiTt Campaign.
Hon. H. ft. Turner reached his home
at Quitman from Washington yesterday.
He will take a few days rest and will
then commence an active campaign
throughout the State in the interest of
the party, and in his own behalf as a
candidate for the Senate. Mr. Turner
has notified Mr. Clay that he would be
on hand and has tendered his services
in the State campaign.
How a Oreat Reb Downed Ingersoll.
'From the Richmond State.
Forest was one of the greatest military
geniuses the Confederacy produced. He
was right to the point in his battles and
won. The letter of C. J. A. in yester
day’s State commenting on the State's
review of Ingersoll’s lecture in defense
of suicide scores some good points, es
pecially in the allusion to the infidel’s
stuff about “courage of the soul.’ - C. J.
A. does him up so well tint it is worth
; repeating, if for no other reason than to
We will doubtless in a few days l>e show the difference between high-sonnd-
nble to publish a list of Mr. Turner’s ap-1 ing talk and real practice. He says:
jMiinments. His friends do not think it
necessary for him to speak in the sottth-
1 portion of the state, and he will pro
bably visit middle and upper < ieorgia.
Mr. Turner is going into the thing
right, and the present campaign will be
the most brilliant of his life. ,
Congress now gets a quorum by
“unanimous consent.”
The labor leaders appear to believe
in the free and unlimited coinage of
silver. •
The anarchists have a new' cham
pion in the person of Congressman
Warren.
Watson’s nomination for congress
was secured by four colored and two
white delegates.
“Ingereoll seems to be a very bold
fellow. He is not afraid to insult Al
mighty God to his face. But he had a
chance once to look into the muzzle of a
musket, with a Confederate soldier’s eye
glancing along the barrel of it. One
look was enough. He took to cover at
once and was never known to go any
nearer to death afterwards than & boom-
proof position in the rear ot the army.
He was captured, and General Forrest,
knowing the reputation of his prisoner,
offered to exchange him for a mule.”
Forrest was, indeed, a rough-and-
ready man, but he was a true man to
whom sentimentality was nauseating,
and who believed in “getting there first.”
But in all his splendid military success
he never was more brilliant than when
he downed the blaspheming mouther by

An Early Newspaper.
The first English newspaper was the
Weekly News, published in ljondon in
1622 by Nathaniel Butter, a stationer
who had failed in bussiness, and who,
ten years earlier, had given himself to
the collectton of news, which he trans
mitted in manuscript:
These missives were known as “news
letters,” and the name adopted survives
in many existing journals. The name
of the projector was tempting to the
wits. i
Poor Butter was made the subject of
many quips and puns. In Fletcher’s
“Fair Maid of the Inn,” there is a fling
at him thus : “The ghost of some ly
ing stationer; a spirit that shall look as
if butter would not melt in his mouth.”
Harrison’s Heavy Trunk.
An amusing story has leaked out in
connection with ex-President Harrison’s
visit to this city. One of the trunks
with which he is traveling this summer
was extremely well loaded and tasked
the strength and patience of a baggage
smasher at the Forty-second street sta
tion to such an extent that he lost his
temper and made a very emphatic re
mark.
“Be aisv, there,” said his companion.
“That’s Mishter Benjamin Harrison’s
trunk.”
“Begorra, thin,” answered the irate
Irishman, “he’s got his presidential boom
inside of it.”— New York World.

The wise man of the Worth County
Local says :
The farmers are pulling todder this

wires ; the senators in Washington are
pulling the people’s leg, while the mer
chant that advertises is pulling in the

Compliments and good wishes go a long
ways to dispell the gloom that somtimes

ham is ahead of all that.—Waresboro

Bacon and Garrard have had sev

A- world of truth is contained in
the following paragraph from the
Savannah Dispatch: The habit of
kerchiefs was heard all over the hall
an accompaniment to the voices of the
speakers.
In despair, at last some one suggested
that matters be hurried so that the body
might adjourn and get away fiom the
flies. There were a few mild protests,
but no one heeded them, the immortal
declaration was hurriedly copied, and,
with handkerchiefs in hand fighting
flies as they came, the members hastened
up to the table to sign the authentic
copy and leave the flies in the lurch.
