TOO MANY UROVYLERS.
“Let Everybody Work Together,” Is
a Correspondent’s Receipt for
Grumbling.
To tho Editors Leadkk.
Since reading your issue of last
week and attending the meeting at G.
A. It. hall Saturday afternoon, in the
interest of the colony matters, andG.
A. R. meeting in the upper hall the
same afternoon, my brain teems with
so many thoughts upon all I read and
all I heard. I find it quite a task to
collect them so as to write you under-
standingly all I wish to say. But the
name of “Nincompoop” suggests itself
to us as quite appropriate to “street
commissioner growlers” here in Fitz¬
gerald. We have too many of them,
and have had since the colony was
first formed. Their disease is chronic,
and they find fault and growl at what¬
ever may be done or whoever may
do it.
At the meeting of colony members
Saturday afternoon there was some
good talking by those who have tried,
to their utmost, to bring Fitzgerald
where it stands to-day—the youngest
city in southern Georgia and the most
prosperous one. Still, these uiucom-
poops, or growlers, who will insist that
Fitzgerald is out of it, were nowhere.
They produce nothing, add nothing,
and don’t try to be anything but just
growl.
In speaking of this nincompoop, I
am glad The Leader won’t stand a
slap in the face or allow such igno-
minous slurs upon our city and the
old soldiers’ colony to pass by unno¬
ticed. Now, if each and every one in
the colony and city who are constantly
kicking and grumbling about this or
that would just stop and devote as
much time to helping in building up,
and endeavor to make the colony and
city prosperous as they might do, then
would the wheels of progress turn
more rapidly, and to much better ad-
vantage, but, like drones, they want
to hang around the hive and live on
the honey the other busy bees make.
I have been thinking that perhaps
the 22d of last December might have
Something to do with this grumbling
and dissatisfaction, there may be
some who think perhaps if the suu
shine of that day had been brighter in
their path things would now be better
and more prosperous, but I believe in
letting the majority rule, and forever
hold your peace.
Now, you are well aware of the G.
A. R. hall matters, of the loan that
has been made, of the outstanding
bills which were presented, and said
to include all the liabilities against the
building, etc., etc., and of the in¬
creased amount since the loan was
placed, and of the misunderstanding
caused thereby. And in consequence
of all this, a committee of five were
chosen to investigate, etc. So Satur¬
day afternoon the l’ost met in regu¬
lar meeting, and as this committee
came to report, the Post took a recess.
Mr. Holland, chairman of the commit¬
tee, made the report, without going
into detail, to explain all it's merits or
demerits. It was a good report, stud
Mr. Holland and committee deserve
much praise for their work in getting
at the bottom, and the facts in the
case Still, here we find the same
nincompoop on the alert and ever
ready to growl.
Now, I, with very many others, sin¬
cerely believe, with just a little vim
and push, the G. A. R. boys can have
and retain the best paying property
in this city.
Just a word more and I will not tire
your patience longer. Now, if the G.
A. R’s. will only work and do what
little they can, don’t be afraid, be-
cause you can’t do it all, but do some-
thing, and then our business men
would do a little (for them) each, and
the citizens a little, they would all he
benefitted directly or indirectly there-
by, and then complete a structure
that would be a credit to the city and
all the people. I would be much
pleased to hear from you, Mr. Editor,
on this or these questions, 1 am
yours for enterprise and progress.
Pusher.
Owing to lack of space the above
letter was omitted last week.—Ed.
Georgetown, Ga., May 25.—(Spe¬
cial to Macon Telegraph.)—The peo¬
ple here was surprised yesterday when
the announcement was made that Mr.
IV. T. Flinn, of Americus, and Miss
Dora Ogletree, of this place, were man
and wife, and that the ceremony was
performed last December. The min¬
ister who performed the ceremony was
asked by the contracting parties to
keep the matter a secret until notified
to disclose it. Mr. Flinn came down
from Americus yesterday and to-day
he and his lovely bride left on the
train for their future home.
GARISH BOOK BINDINGS.
They Arc In Bad Taiite and Are Disliked
by Bookworm and Scholar.
Books have a right to bo, first of all,
books, not purveyors of whimsies in
oolor and design. \x matters aro at this
moment three-quarters of the new
books look more like some st -augo en¬
tree at a feast than like everyday edi¬
bles. You take up one, und it lids the
air of a curious ragout; thero aro un¬
known fragments of design floating in
a sauce of queer elemental color. (Tho
next one hus an air as honest as apple
sauce at first glance; ’tisapalegreeuish
thing, but presently you see that the
trail of a serpent is over all its border.
And who can hope for content from a
dish thus garnished?
Again a book, and this one burns
bright red and yellow, like a pudding
on fire with cognac, which is all very
well for a pudding. Another has a cover
which looks like a resisting beefsteak
pounded by the stern hand of fate in a
boarding house; another reminds you
irresistibly of coffee wherein qhickory
has too much inserted its diluting aid
and cream is missing. But,’first and
last, the new book* aro ever more prone
to resemble small plots of deceptive
stage verdure than honest, simple souled
books. It is impossible to help doubt¬
ing the value of the literary pasturage
to be found in such inclosures. Fortu¬
nately ono is sometimes most joyously
deceived. Authors have little “say”
concerning the garb of their volumes,
and often—good luck to them—they
ri6e superior to the mechanical makers
of books and rejoice the souls of their
readers in spite of tho bindings.
And it must be repeated that in the
present bizarre and excessive fancies in
binding there is seed of abounding hope
for the future. Publishers are groping
for something; few of them know what.
But they will learn, and the world will
bo made glud by a genuine revival in
the lovely old half forgotten craft of
bookbinding. In that happy coming day
there will be great honor for the men
who lead the taste of this country to¬
ward better things in bookbinding, sim¬
pler and saner and more sincere.—Bos¬
ton Transcript.
QUESTION OF LUCK.
A Citation That Clinched the Other Side
of the Argument.
“I bate to hear people ray there’s no
such thing as luck,” remarked the mel¬
ancholy Mr. Dolittle.
“I don’t see why, ” his wife rejoined.
“Because it isn’t true,” ho retmfued
with asperity. “A man can go on try¬
ing and trying and never get along,
and some other person Will go ahead
and tnrnblo into good things without
making any effort whatever. ”
“Hiram, no great man has succeeded
without hard work.”
“That’s the kind of talk you always
hear. But nine times out of ten it is all
owing to the opportunity that presented
itself. Fortune just seems to lie in wait
to kidnap some men. Look at Sir Isaac
Newton. His name is handed down
from generation to generation. And
why? Simply beoause ho was sitting
under a tree, and an apple happened to
drop on him. Yon can’t pretend that a
man is in a position to claim superior
merit simply because, through no ac¬
tion or preference of his own, he gets
hit in the head with an apple, can you?”
"No, Hiram. ”
“Then don’t tell me about there not
being any such thing as luck. ”
“It seems to me that you've chosen a
poor example in support of your argu¬
ment. The case of Isaac Newton goes
to show that the difference is in the
people. If it had been some men that I
know of instead of Newton, the first
thing they would have done after the
apple fell would have been to go into
the house and moan for the arnica bot¬
tle; then they would have spent two or
three hours of precious time talking
about their bad luck.”—Washington
Star.
Clocks With Nerves.
There is one disadvantage about very
tall buildings which is being noticed by
the occupants. It is perhaps a small
disadvantage, but still is worth consid¬
ering, as it involves some annoyance to
those who have not made provision for
it.
The trouble referred to is the stop¬
ping of pendulum clocks by the vibra¬
tion of the buildings. Many a pendulum
clock that has kept accurate time for
years in old fashioned low structures
has refused to run at all when moved
into some one of the new tali steel
framed buildings in the lower part of
the city. On the lower floors of the
buildings the clocks run fairly well, but
when higher up in the buildings they
become more whimsical and on the top
floors will not run at all.—New York
Times.
He Responded.
The late archbishop of Canterbury
had a favorite dog named Watch. Once,
as he lay on the mat at the open door of
the chapel, the archbishop read impress¬
ively this sentence of the Scripture
lesson, “What I say unto you I say
unto you all—watch.” The dog sprang
up, came forward and lay down before
the reading desk at his master’s feet.
One hearer at least heeded the lesson
and responded.—Congregationalist
He Got the Place.
Great Editor—You have your theory,
of course, as to how newspapers should
be conducted?
Applicant (fresh from college)—Not
the slightest, sir.
Great Editor (amazed)—Is it possible?
My dear sir, you can have your pick of
any department in this office—that ie :
if you have not already arranged with a
museum.—Buffalo Times.
A Sprinting Match.
Governor — You’ve been running
ahead of your allowance, Jack.
Jack—I know it, dad. I’ve been hop¬
ing for a long time that the allowance
would strengthen up enough to overtake
me.— Household Words.

for the best interest of the Wadley and
