I conic To bury Ciewnr. because tlx* times arc hard Ami bfs folk* can’t afford to hire an underta ker. • The evil that men do live* after them, In the *hnpc of progeny, who reap the Benefit of their life Insurance. Mo let it he with the deceased. Brutus hath told you t hat Ctesar wa* ambi tious— What doe* Brutus know about it? It Is none of his funeral. Would it were. Here, under leave of you, I come to Make a speech at Ciesar’s funeral. He was my friend, faithful and just to me. He loaned me five dollars once when I was in a pinch, . And signed my petition lor a postoffice. But Brutus says he was ambitious— Brutus should wipe off liis chin. Cassar has brought many captives home »o R«me, ,, , , Who broke rock on*the streets until their ran soms Did the general coffers till. When the poor hath cried, Cicsar wept, Because it didn’t cost anything, and Made him solid with the masses C heers.] Ambition should be made of sterner stuff. Yet, Brutus says he was ambitious! Brutus is a liar, and I can prove it. You all did see that on Lupercal I thrice presented him with a kingly crown, Which in- did thrice refuse, because it did not fit him quite. Was that ambition? Yet Brutus says he was ambitious! Brut us is not only the biggest liar in the coun- try f But a horse-thief, and a bald-headed snipe of the valley. [Applause.| If you have tears, prepare to shed them now. [Laughter.] You all know tills ulster. I remember the first time everCtesar put it on It was on a summer’s evening in liis tent, With tiie thermometer registering »0 degrees in the shade; But it was an ulster to be proud of, And cost $7 at Marcauis Swartzinever s, Corner of Broad and Ferry etreetF, sign of the red flag. Old Kwartz wanted $40 for it. But finally came down to $7, because it was Cicsar! Was this ambition ? If Brutus says it was He is even a greater liar than Mrs. I ilton. I,ook ! in this place ran Cassius’ dagger thro’ — Through tills the son of a gun of a Brutus slabbed ; And when lie pulled the steel away, Marc Antony, how the blood ot Cicsar follow ed It ! [Cheers and cries of ‘Give us something on the Silver Bill.’ ‘Hit him again,’ etc.] I come not, friends, to steal away your hearts. 1 am no thief, as Brutus is— Brutus has a monopoly in all that business, Audit he had his just deserts he would be In the penitentiary,and don’t you forget it. Kind friends, sweet friends, I do not wish to stir you up To such a sudden flood of mutiny, And as It, looks like rain, The pall-bearers will please put the coffin in the hoarse, And we will proceed to bury Cicsar, Not to praise him. The rainy weather hs« kept the trap in active operation. And as those who go in and are bitten remain to see who are the next unfortunate, “setting ’em up for the crowd” becomes a very se rious business. Occasionally the man pleads poverty, but they make him leave his watch or diamond ring while he goes out for the money to redem it. There is no backing down. The man had rather treat than be thought a thief in earnest, and this is the only loop-hole he has for escape. An Umbrella Protector. Alta Californian. The barkeeper called his attention to a printed card, which hung several feet above the rack on the wall. It read as follows: “Anyone attempting to steal the um brella is expected to set ’em up !” The card hung so high on the wall that a casual observer would fail to no tice it. The barkeeper, with an eye to busi ness, had all these preliminaries fully arranged for the first rainy day of the season. It was early in the morning that his initial victim appeared. The humid clouds were distilling a drench ing shower as an able practitioner of the law appeared for his morning cock tail. He drank the liquid contradiction with infinite relish, and then, button ing °u hi* coat, moved toward the door. The umbrella caught his eve. It was raining cats and dogs. Ihe downpour was prodigious. He cast a furtive but hurried glance over his shoul der at the barkeeper. That ingenious worthy whs giving his whole attention to his glasses. Then the lawyer’s hand Went swiftly to the alluring umbrella. He touched the handle—the alarm i-ang out clear and distinct—the bar keeper turned his luminous eyes on the culprit. “Old man,” he observed, with gentle tenderness, “just read that card abo\e your head.” * The lawyer’s glance took in the situation, and he turned to the coun ter. “What shall it be?” he inquired, with all a lawyer’s effrontery. “Well,” replied the barkeeper, “as you and I are the only persons present, I reckon you will have to stand a small bottle.” “Set it up.” The wine was drank, and then the disciple of Blfickstone, true to liis call ing, announced his intention of remain ing a few minutes to see what the next customer would do. Even as he spoke, a bustling, active broker put in his appearance. “Whiskey straight, please! It’s an awful wet morning.” And scarcely waiting for his change, he was hurrying out, when suddenly his feet seemed glued to the lloor. A swift glance was cast back at the dis penser of drinks, and then his nervous fingers closed firmly on the handle of bell They Never Stop. Tid-Blts. It is this kind of a wife that makes men old and gray before their time. “William,” she says, after William is curled snugly up under the blankets for tin* night, “did you lock the front door?” “Yes,” says William, briefly. “You’re sure you did?” “Yes, sure.” “And you slipped the bolt, too?” “Yes.” “You know you forgot it once, and it gave me such a turn when I found it out in the morning, I didn’t get over it for a week. We haven’t much any- body’d want to steal, I know, but I don’t want the little we have taken, for I—” “I tell you I attended to the doors.” “Well, I hope so, for goodness’ sake. You attended to the basement door?” “Yes, I tell you.” “Because if you hadn’t you or I, one or the other, would have to get up and attend to it now. I read to-day of—” t‘I don’t care what you read.” “It is said that a man down on B street forgot to—” “I don’t care if he did.” “And in the night a burglar walked right in an—” “I don’t believe it.” “I’ve a notion to get up and see if you have locked that door. You’re sure?” “How many times have I got to tell you that I did lock it?” “Well, you thought you’d locked it that time when you left it unlocked.” “Will you 1>« quiet?” “I don’t care, William, you know yourself how careless you are, and—” “See here, Mary Jane, this has got to end right here.” But it doesn’t end there; and it doesn’t for an hour, and William arises in the morning with the lines on his brow a little deeper, and the hopeless, desper ate look still in his face. commerce law! It’s jest made for such cases of discrimination as this, an’ you bet you an’ your old company are goin’ to hear somethin’ drap right close up to you! No need o’ keepin your ears cock ed up to hear it; when she draps she’ll jar the earth! Jes’you bear in mind that old Nat Chandler, president of the Charles Mix County Fair Association, is campin' right on your trail!” A Lesson. New York Letter. Surprise is expressed that Gen. Han cock did not leave a larger estate be hind him, but he was generous to a fault, and he had many calls upon his chari ty. It was the heavy cross of his life that his twin brother, for thirty yearsa resident of a distant Western city, had disappointed his expectations, lost his ambition and sunk into a living death. His brother was a lawyer, one of the most brilliant in the Northwest, clear ing from $15,000 to $20,000 a year by his practice, when he fed a victim to hi* love for good company and drink. He went down from liis high position like a rocket, and for the last fifteen years had been entirely supported by his brother, the General. There is a touching little hit of romance connected with this sad , story. The lawyer was in his prime, a magnificent looking man, and became ■ engaged to the beautiful daughter of a lady in whose house he boarded. The ! engagement began twenty-two years j ago. But the lady saw her danger i ahead, and she refused to marry her ar dent and handsome wooer until he should forswear the winecup and show himself a thoroughly reformed man. He still lives in the same house, and the lady is there too, and still unwedded. She is true to her love, but is equally true to her promise, and while she ten derly cares for the man she loves and mourns, she knows that her life is wrecked, and that there is no hope now this side of the grave. The world is full of such unnoticed heroines. R. D. COLE MANUFACTURING CO., NEWNIAN, GEORGIA. H % Q % Ul A Negro Emigration Movement. Sew Orleans Times-Democrat. A large negro immigration is again pouring into the Yazoo delta. AVe called attention to it last year, when it reached the proportions of an exodus. The failure of the cotton crop in the hill country started a movement of the negroes from that section into the low lands of the delta, generally known as “the swamp,” which increased from day to day, after the cotton had been picked, until it reached great propor tions and produced unfortunate eco nomical results, leaving the hill coun try without labor and threatening, in consequence, disasters to the farmers and planters of that section. A great deal of excitement was aroused by this; public meetings were called to denounce the labor agents who seduced the negroes from the farms, and some threats \v@te Indulged in against them, Tho exodus contin ued for three or four months after the harvesting of the cotton crop, and sothe 25,OIK) or more negroes were mov ed from central Mississippi to V ashing- tonand other alluvial counties. The population of Yazoo delta showed an even greater proportion of blacks to whites, and began to be regarded as a sort of paradise to the negroes, of the Southwest. There can be little doubt that most of these emigrants did well in their new homes. The delta is admirably suited to them. The climate is what they like, the land is fertile and cheap, and the staple crop, cotton, is one that the negro seems best suited to culti vate. The Mississippi Valley road, un like most of the Southern railroads, has bid for this immigration, sold its lands to the darkies on favorable terms, and has, as a consequence, assisted in build ing up a great negro district in West ern Mississippi.

CARRIAGE BUILDERS AND PEALSRS IX Complete Newspaper Outfit For Sale! SHOW-CASES A Man With a Good Conscience New York .Sun. At one of his Northfield meetings on Monday, Mr. Moody, who was preach ing about “Prayer,” said: “Man may pray like a saint, but if he has a dollar in his pocket not acquired honestly, his prayer is a sham, and he must make restitution if he expects ever to have God hear his praver.” Thereupon a merchant from Dallas, Texas, rose in the audience and told a story that em phasized this point. He had, he said, got dishonestly from men in his busi ness some $5,500, and had built a house with the money. Then Mr. Moody happened along and preached on this subject of restitution and the merchant was present. “I heard you," he said, pointing to Mr. Moody, “and I went out into the street conscience stricken. I went straight home and told my wife that we must sell that house and restore the money. And we did. We held an auction, and our carpets, our laces, our furniture, all left us, and with the proceeds w-e made restitution.” The man then told how- lie and his wife started again in life with nothing, and how they had pros pered. His credit, his prosperity had never been so good. HARDWARE, LAGRANGE, GA. Manufacture all kinds of Carriages, Buggies, Carts and Wagons. Repairing neatly and promptly done at reason able prices.
