Some Lending (Juostioiis.
Atlanta Constitution.
A young man who looked as it'
he had a heap of things on hi
uiiud, but who struggled hard to
nppcav outwardly calm, put a five
dollar bill on the desk of a Detroit
lawyer, recently, and said:
“I want to ask you a tew lead
ing questions/'
“Go ahead,” was the reply, as
the money was quickly thrust out
of sight.
“If I am engaged to a girl and
I go back on her, what can she
ue y*>u for breach of prom
ise.”
“But if she goes hack on me,
wlmt can 1 do
“Hunt up another.”
‘‘Uni ! Suppose 1 have presen
ted her with a two-dollar fan, a
pair of bracelets, a parasol and a
ring.”
“Then she’s so much ahead.’’
“If 1 believe that her infatuation
for another is but a passing whim
and I flourish a revolver and talk
of suicide what then ?"
“Iler father will probably pick
you up and drop you into the first
‘mud-puddle. ”^4.
“Urn ! Suppose I had presen
ted her mother with a twenty shil
ling umbrella
“Then she’ll keep dry.”
“And her brother with an ac-
cordeon
“Then he’ll worry the neigh
bors.’’
‘‘Suppose, sir, for the sake of
inuking myself solid with the old
man, I had .presented him with
sixteen dollars’ worth of watch-
<H' ?”
“He’ll Zet him upon you if you
have any trouble.”
“Uni ! Have I no redress ?”
“Yes, sir; go and lick the p'rar-
Ic ranger who has stolen your
girl’s affections.”
“I’ll do it.
“Glud to hour it. L’ll defend
your case for twenty dollars.”
“Urn !”
Urn !”
“Como to think of it, he
bigger man than 1 am ”
“Then lot him lick you, and I’ll
make it cost him $60.”
“Cm ! I’ll think of it.”
“Um ! Office hours from 8
m. to 0 p. in."
And the young man troubled
with inward agitation took himself
out,—Detroit Free Press.
High-Priced Slumps.
A sombre-jaced man, with long
hair like a corn doctor or poet,en
tered the post -office one day
last week and laid down a nickel
ayd inquired for two three-eent
stamps.
He was informed that six cents
was necessary for the purchase.
“Tills is the economy of the
country, is it P In the country
where l came from I always got
two stamps for five cents. Is this
the only post-office in the town
f. i “It is.”
“Ah, ha ! That accounts for it
Competition is what gives life to
to all business. If you only had
two or three post offices here
stumps woUld go down to twenty
cents a dozen in no time. It’s
wonder some enterprising eapit
alist don't go into the post-office
business here, and bring prices
down where they ought to be.”
Then fishing an old fashioned
copper out of his pocket, and lay
jug it in the delivery window, he
adhered his stamps to a yellow
envelope, and vanished like
beautiful dream.—Marathon In

year—a year
progress and
culmination of the most interesting
political contest that lias ever taken
place in this country—every citizen
and every thoughtful person will be
compelled to rely upon the newspa
pers for information. Why not get
the best ? Abroad The Constitution
is recognized, referred to and quoted
from as the leading southern journal
as the organ and vehicle of the best
southern thought and opinion—and
at home its columns are consulted for
tho latestnows, the freshest comment
and for all matters of special aud cur
rent interest. The Constitution con
tains more and later telegraphic news
than any other Georgia paper, and
this particular feature will be largely
added to during the coming year. All
its facilities for gathering the latest
news from all parts of the country
will bo enlarged and supplemented.
The Constitution is both chronicler
commentator. Its editorial opinions
its contributions to tho drift of cur
rent discussion, its humorous and
satirical paragraphs, are copied from
one end of tho country to tho other.
It aims always to be the brightest
and bcst-i-nowsy, original and piq
uant. It aims particularly to give
the news impartialy and fully, and to
keep its readers informed of th
lrift of current discussion by liberal
but conciso quotations from all its
contemporaries. It aims, in short,
to more than ever deserve to be
mown as “tho leading southern
newspaper,” Bill Arp will continue
to contribute his unique letters,
which grow in savory humor week by
week. “Old Si” will add his quaint
fun to t he collection of good* things,
and “Uncle Remus lias in prepara
tion a series of negroes myth legends
illustrating tho folk-lore of tho old
plantation. In every rospect The
Constitution for 1880 will be better
than ever.
Tho Weekly Constitution is a ear-
fully edited compendium of the
news of the week and contains the
best and freshest matter to bo found
in any other weekly from a
daily office. Its nows and miscolln-
uneous contents are the freshest and
its market reports tho latest.
THE SOUTHERN CULTIVATOR
This, tho best, tho most reliable
and most popular of southern agri
cultural journals is issued from the
printing establishment of The Con
stitution. It is still edited by Mr.
W. L. Jones, and is devoted to Ihe
