Felder of Fulton ' and and Col. J. H. Estill of Chatham were chosen as electors trout ttie state at large. Jno. D. Maddox, Jas. M. Smith, Jas. R. Grnv and C. R. Penaletou were elected 1 delegates at large to the Nat ional Democratic Convention, and all delegates were in structed for Judge Parker. Arthur Thompson, colored, was lynched at Arlington Wednesday for killing *M. , 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 Ex. | [Continued from tirst page | ) Tin* Injme inw|i;it mot her makes j lit good, bad or indifferent, tlov -1! eminent may be corrupt and man degenerate without loss of hope, | ; bit when the standard of the home is lowered 'it is time to think of!

(iivnt 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 ! ten careful amt economical.
