are complete and we are able to give
our readers a large amount of interest¬
ing and appropriate reading matter.
Our serial and short stories are writ¬
ten by first-class authors and are just
the thing for long winter evenings.
The Talmage sermom and Sunday
School lessons are interesting to many
readers. We also furnish a large
amount of miscellaneous reading and
matter to suit holidays and special oc¬
casions. We also furnish the local
news from nearly every neighborhood
in the county, including reports of
court transactions and other informa¬
tion of interest to the taxpayer. If
you want the home news you will find
the Leader indispensable.
We aim to make the Leader wide¬
awake and enterprising, and an
earnest advocate of the right on all
questions. We want to begin the new
year with a substantial increase of
subscribers and to accomplish this
object we invite our friends and
patrons to speak a good word for the
paper to their neighbors and acquaint¬
ances. Look over the Leader care¬
fully and then send us your name and
postoffice address. The regular sub¬
scription price of the Leader is $1.50
per year and we make no reductions
from this price. We send the paper
to no one who cannot or will not pay
and aim to conduct the office on busi¬
ness principles strictly. We do not
force the paper on any one and sub¬
scriptions are promptly date of stopped expiration. when

For all the news, read The Leader.
A doctor, hacked by Atlanta a policeman,
stopped a wedding in long
enough to vaccinate the bride. The
couple were of a dusky hue, and were
on the floor holding hands when the
doctor broke in. The bridegroom ob¬
jected to the girl being vaccinated and
the had to be held by the policeman while
virus was injected.
The office should seek the man, but
the man often becomes impatient and
sets some machinery in motion to
make the office start toward him.

And now the Atlanta Journal has
admitted that a majority of the people
of the state are in favor of the free
coinage of silver at the ratio of lo

We again insist, that the names of
absentees without leave, the men who
clog legislation by their absence,
should be published, so that the people
may learn where the fault lies.—

The Macon Daily Telegraph is to
be congratulated on the excellent num¬
ber issued last Sunday. 1 he edition
was brimfull of the latest news of the
day, together with numerous adver¬
tisements of Macon’s live business men.
The Telegraph is 0. Iv.
The bill to elect judges and solici¬
tors by the people has passed the
Senate and possibly the House by this
time. At any rate it will. It will
then be submitted to the people for
ratification, as an amendment to the
constitution, It will be ratified
by them at the October election next
year, and will become a law before
the election in 1900. While it may
not be the best way to get the best
officers, the people who are to be serv¬
ed, will have no body to blame could but
themselves. And no system be
worse than the present one.—Mont¬
gomery Monitor.
An old maid of Newmann, Ill., says
the Yews, who had been an inveterate
bater of men all her life, died the
other day. She left directions that no
man should attend her funeral, or per¬
form any service for her after death.
Women laid her away, even digging
the grave and filling it. It must give
the departed a good deal of satisfaction
to know that her wishes were fulfilled.
The ladies kissed Pat Walsh when
he was inaugurated mayor of Augusta.
There’s no telling how many candi¬
dates there will be next time.—Rome
