Vention met in Atlanta Wed

of Fulton ' and and Col. J. H.
Estill of Chatham were chosen

large. Jno. D. Maddox, Jas.
M. Smith, Jas. R. Grnv and
C. R. Penaletou were elected 1

ional Democratic Convention,
and all delegates were in

Dudley, a white man.'

Miss Sophie Kloeckler, who
se remains were found in the
lake at Lakewood Park near
Atlanta several days ago and
buried, is now declared to have ;
been miiTdered. The coroners
jury gave a verdict of suicide
at the inquest,' but the body
has been exhumed and evi
dences of murder found by the
physicians who held the au
topsy.
Here is another version of
ll~ , .Ad-in. nii-id e boM
at dusk and saw his third
floating rib standing before
him in the form of a beauteous
female ( the very one of his
dream,) attired not in choice
raiment, but wearing simply a
smile and a fig leaf, he did not
get fresh and say. “‘Good
morning, Carrie!” He just
bowed very politc-likc to the
lady and said, “Good Eve.”
And that is how she got her
name.”
Mark Twain likes to recall
and tell of the days wlieu he
was a characteristically im
pecunious reporter. One day
lie had a note to meet, but |
labored under a total lack of
funds. Half distracted, he
was rushing around Sail Fran
cisco in a feverish hunt for
enough cash to tide him over
the trying time. *
He rushed a little too quick-.
ly, however for as lie was I
turning a corner lie c llided ■
with a little mail and over
threw him. The victim re
gained his feet and yelled:
“You do that again and I’ll
knock you in the middle of j
next week.” “My dear sir,"
said the humorist, “do it by all
means. If I can get through
till then without breaking I’m
safe.” The originality of this-;
reply struck the stranger, who!
after some tall, handed Mark
u check tor the* necessary
amount.
There is a story cf a lady
who decided to scare her hus
band, who was quite a hard
drinker, so he would reform.
To this end she procured the
costume of a devil she had
worn in a masquerade. The
tiexi time the erring spouse
came home feeling happy she
quickly donned the costume.
Vs he opened the door she
stepped forward and said in a
s. pulehral tone: ‘‘come with!
me, lam the devil.” The re
sult rather startled her as the■
response which greeted her!
| was? “A;it so? Shakeol’boy;,
! I’m vour brother-in-law I ittar-j
ried your sister,” —Ex.
“Third notice.” Every [
'editor lire; recot’Vd them. The!
posiottice sends them to the
; editor. The editor is uot to j
blame. For instance, there is
a man by the name of —well,)
say Tim Short —who sent us j
three notices to stop his paper.!
He did not want it any longer, i
We wonder what was the mat
ter. Upon investigating our
j subscription book we fond that
Tim was short $5.70. He had j
never paid a cent and yet he !
!stopped his paper ars a matter)
of economy to us. A few!
evenings ago we stepped into;
church, and Tim’s melodious
voice rang out loud and clear j
iin the soul-stirring song,
“Jesus paid it all.” Wei
| might have been mistaken,.
‘but In’: earnestness impressed
f % 1 . !
j us. The next day we sent him j
a receipt, in full begging his I
. pardon for not knowing that
he had made an assignment of J
: his liabilities to the Lord. — j

1 changes have nine in the finish of j
j tho nineteenth century, which j
1 havw developed an.! broadened
! woman's relation; her outlook is j
| upon dillerer.l seeues and possi-!
: hilities, yet through themal! runs j
| the same old \yoof of wifehood and t
! motherhood, earth's most sacred
.duties. The question now is not,
: “Shall woman’s field expand?”
jit has already expntided. The
j paramount, issue is the mainten
ance of the home. The develop
ment' of industrial monopolies,
where the dollar is almighty
I threatens to undermine t he home.
There is no more menacing fact
than this. Evidence exists on
every hand that the preservation
of the family circle is the problem
of the age of eommereialsim. The
. best way to become good is to be ;
born good and the next essentials i
: are tho socialism of the home,
! and the training of the mother. !
the child’s best friend.
In the marriage vows tho little i
band of gold placed on the bride’s J
, finger by the groom is the pledge !
I that the husband has endowed the j
wife with all his worldv goods;!
that she has an equal interest in ,
t hem. Yet with many who sav,
\Vith all my —orldy goods I thee |
'endow, the words mean nothing. !
j and every dollar spent by the wife j
j in personal adomients or eonvrn
lence about the house is grudgingly .
given, and we dare say if spine
. wives of this community spent as!
| much for sweet meats and bon lions;
and ice cream soda as their hus- j
bands do for smoke each year,!
there would go up a howl you j
could hear for miles from the hus
bands with ext ravagunt wives; and
if the wives and daughters of this
community spent as much on!
chewing gum ns t he husbands and
brothers do tor chew ing tobacco
every year, the bridge would be
full of iiii'n jumping into 1 he river
because tlieil' wiver spent, so nutd;
money foolishly. lv.\v we believe
when a man asks a voting woman
1
to become his wife, and the re
lationship is consummated in
marriage that the wife has an
equal share in the finances of that
home. Many wives slave and
work for a life timp. Where* you
find one extravagant, you will tind
