From 75c. to $25. price THE BACHELOR VINDICATED. By Kit Warren. This Is more particularly truo of brew eries, for no methods of manufacture have been more rapidly improved. Again, among the old-established breweries -there has been and now ex ists a furious rivalry as to which shall exceed, the other in their annual pro duction, and this Is true to such an extent that to Increase or hold busi ness the older breweries are constantly reaching out Mvio new territory, re gardless of -the fact that in so doing they are forced at times -to put out a beer which Is not' sufficiently aged or "ripened,’’ and which Is centalnly In jurious to the consumer. The success which 'the Acme Company hasmade wherever their products have sold is evidence that such a state of things are no longer to be tolerated and that the public is beginning to appreciate and value that beer -which Is purest and best. The value of the Acme Brewing Company’s establishment to this Im mediate section la almost Impossible to estimate, as the number of Its em ployes runs well up Into the ■ hundreds, and tho monthly and weel^ly - payroll to employes amounts to thousands of dollars, all of which Is distributed each day nd’week amongst other business establishments. In rents -to the owners of real estate, and In fact, through each of the groan arteries of business. Not only does this "home Institution” through Its disbursements act directly upon the city’s commerce, but It Is reaching out 1n distant territory which broadens constantly, and Is drawing from each branch some • portion of wealth from the outside, which Is put Into general home circulation in this section and state. This fact alone should obtain for the Acme Company a cordial recognition and substantial patronsuge from our am people, but they do. not rest their csuie here, but welcome compsrtam and crtlloism with any breads • of dratsghr. or export beer .wherever pro duced, and confidently assert that their beers cannot be surpassed by those ininrufsoiured elsewhere, and In their high grade products they yield the honors to none. In the Acme Brewing Company Macon has an industry of which she is Justly proud. GRAND MIDSUMMER EXCURSION ets on sale July 21. good to return July 20.

The great Whig meetlni of 18», during the campaign at log cabins, coon skins ond hard cider, was an epoch hi tho His tory of Easton. It was held on the grounds of which. Spring Hill cemetery now foims a part, this, with adjoining land, comprising quite a Held. Large shade trees rivere taken from the woods and planted out over the griunds in great numbers, invitations were extended to moot of the leading Wnlg orutora and statesmen of the day. Clay Had a special committee to watt on him in Washington and Insist upon his attendance,- The old chieftain told tho committee that his public dutl« might prevent his attend ance In person, hut if he dkl hot come he would send In tils place "a man who could beat Uiu world upon the stump"— Old Crtt of Kentucky, and him he did send. Our people were charmed with tho homely-looklng and plainly dressed old Kcmuckkin, and roused to the highest enthusiasm by-his burning words of elo quence and power. One of the most sumptuous dinners ever seen on such an occasion was prepared, to which tho old Kentuckian was invited; but after his speech he went up and surveyed tho din ner table, spread with all the Eastern Shore luxuries. He looked nt it some time In alienee, nnd then sold: ”f hove never seen anything like this, even in old Kentuek-lhe land of barbecues and slump-speaker*. Th* people, too, look like my people. I must dine right nercl” Graves of Kentucky was present and spoke at the meeting; Reverdy Johnson and Georao It. Richardson, and many others. '1 tic enthusiaom was kept up un til late ut night. Nine steamboats from tla.tlmore and elsewhere aided In bring ing the multitude. Tne fine cool spring in the meadow adjoining supplied water tor the thousands. In the evenjng the speakers’ stand broke down while Mr. Graves was speaking. The numbers pres ent were variously estimated at between Ikon and 20.0W. The Whig evil an Che over the country that year Is well known, nail resulted In the election of Gen. Har rison as president. Everybody feels better from Brown’s Iron Bitters. Tho following: [humorous poem was written -by Mr. Kit Warren several years ibefore ihi$ death. Tho mami script was sent to tho Telegraph, but was lost, and long ago forgotten, until yesterday, when, at was discovered among some old papers which had been filed for safe-keeping:. Mr. War ren has been dead several years, but there are many readers of the Tele graph who will recall -with pleasure his contributions to 'the press of the state. As an old bachelor, perhaps tho tol lowing linos may truly depict somo period In his. own eccentric career: I've seen a t;ood many scenes Since 1 was a wee-bit brat, For now I'm a bachelor In my teens^ And a good many teens at that. Tho back grown over with iribss, In place of the cheek's lost down, Is the bearer of many a heavy crosat The wearer of ne'er a crown. A sinner without a sin; A culprit without a crime, On creation's face he’s a standing grin Throughout tils allotted time. No" lawyer to plead his case, No poet to sing his woes, He catches the devil in life's brief race And is caught by him at Sts close. It Is thus at the pnsent time; It was thus In ages past. And If 'tls'nt allay-*d by Uhls lay of mlno It will so id the last. Then O, ye Sicilian Muse!— Not stop! That never will do; The nine are “all girls,*’ and all girls refuse To help out the bachelor crew • Then I the poem wil* make;, And I’ll be myself my muse; And JusUce I'll shake Ull she’s wide awake ‘From her Rip Van Winkle snooze. Why may not I bo a muse And chant with u muse's vim, Since even tho very clergymen choose xo call a poem a “him"? A muso hod ought to amuse; Ami why can't a man do this? Especially slncd tho Fates refuse To have ft done by a miss. Up from a sleep to a kiss, A note of hand to a writ— I'm stire that anything dodo by a miss Wero better done by a hit. So I will the tale unfold Of the bach’lor'e misery; And I'll tell it best when i have it told In what has happened to me. I have mooed the widow and mi«s, And everything else but man. And recoived Instead of connubial bliss The unoonnublal ban. My first was rosy and fair. And she had on eye of glee; In fact, she’d two-hod a twinkling pair, £ut she would not fair with me. My love, so tender and dear. Flowed forth like a runic rhyme As I told her I’d do ss much for her If she’d marry me this Urns. She spoke but a single word. And single It made me stay. And the word she spoke and the word I heard / Was a “nay.” I «Udn't say “nrfgb.” I begged with a deep-drawn sigh: “Please marry me. Just this once,” To which the made the laconic reply You're an everlasting dunce.” Did I ssll out on a swell And get myself ”ln a fix,” And deafen the sir with many a yell? Nix. nix; an emphatic nix. I drtnk no drink of the grog; I took no spell of the mop?#. Nor rang * the song of the howling dog That mourns o’er his bone-lost Hopes. To ne’er love a second lovo le u. theme the poets dwell on; 1 But why not bo fond of a second dove As well uu a second melon? Suppose a euppoeement thus, A friend says: “Cut you a slice; There Is more than'enough for all of U* And the melon’s ever so nice." Would you elt there like a dunce, And answer with deep lieart-paln: “Oh, no; i have Joved a dear melon onc«v And ain never lo\f<i one again"? Well, I didn't grieve at my loss, But I hunted another maid, Just like I'd have hunted another “host/* When I failed ut one "hoss” trade. My next wan a dainty dot, „ A homeopathia grace; . A bright and beautiful little spot /* On society’s fair race. But she mado up well In tongue All that wan lacking In size. And nho flattered tho unsuspecting young With a thousand) perfumed—libs. Yea, she was a bora coquette; u . 'Twa» her native, cradle ntyle, For e'en In her Infant dreams, the pet' ■ Was uccustomod to kick and smile. . A Ah! didn’t she lead me % dance, While I'd tho fiddler to pay? And didn't slio play at the game of chute* In her own sweet, beautiful way;* <*dlKi After I'd wasted iny sp-nls. After I’d squandered »«y time. After I had worn out my Sunday duds; j Which cost rne many a dlm/>— I Yes, after all thin and more. Too much and too sad to tell— ' , From the Raman's height I had held before With an Adam’s fall 1 fell. My genius of woes and harms, My'goddcas of misery, Tho angel she’d played with her glided charms, And the dovll she'd played with me. My next was buxom and bright, Fat, corpulent, plump and round. And she had assets In her own sweet right Worth about six thousand pound. Of course I courted apace. And, Ideas you! she courted back. Then I stormed the muzZle of her vweet With a loud, cork-popping smack. 4 *I How I dazzled my big, squint eyes; How I squoze her saucy hand! How I "told her tfho fav’rd the sunlit sk'esl How I thought’ of her “skads" and landl Oh, that was my honey-moon; But moons aro Obliged to wane. And mine, which went down so sad uf bo soon. Must never come op again. Guardian forbade—O, the rack! Then she broke It off with tears, Ami I felt like the chop In the almanac That’s goaded with keen-edged spears. My next-No, I’d be a dolt Were I further to itemlz* Por the rest are scraps from the sams old bolt And about the same old size. m ,J Condemn the Iamb that It lies \ Encaged in the llon’s lolr; Condemn the rose that U withers and dug In the cold autumnal air; For the rose has hod Its bloom. And the lamb has hud Its play, But the bachelor's doom Is only gloom That never can clear away— | Condemn the lamb and the rose, \ They’re victims of but one death; But spare, O spare, the old fellow whose woe# Keep step tn th* tap of each breath.
