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 dependent.

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.
