He'd nothing but his. violin—
I’d nothing but my sons—
But wo were wed, when eft lee were bluo.
And summer <nyn were long;—
And when we reeled by the hedge
Tho robins camo unit told
How they hud dared to woo and win
When early spring was cold.
We sometimes supped on dowbcrrlos,
Or slept among tho hay,
And oft the furmers’ wives at eve,
Came out to hear u» play
The rare old luncB, the dear old tunes;—
We could not starve for long
While my man hud his violin,
Aud I my sweet love-song.
Tho world has aye got.o well with ns,
Old man, since we were one;
Our homeless wanderings down tho lanes
Have long ago In on done;— .
But those who wait for gold or gear,
Knr houseuand for kino,
Till youth's sweet spring grows brown urul
Boro,
And love and beauty tlno—
Will never know tho Joy of hoarts
That moel without a fear—
When you had but your \ lolln,
And I my song, my donr.

The President on Pensions.
Ttie Secretary of tho Interior has the
supervision of so mnny important sub
jects thnt his report is of especial valuo
and interest.
On tho 30th day of .Tune, 1803, tlioro
were on t ho pension rolls 00(1,012 names,
an increase of 89,Oh over the number
on tho rolls Juno 30, 1802. Of thoso
there wore 17 widows and daughters of
Revolutionary soldiers, 80 survivors of
tho war of 1812, 5.325 widows of soldiers
of that war, 21,518 survivors and wid
ows of tho Mexican war, 3,882 Riirvivors
and widows of Indian wars, 284 army
nurses, and 475,045 survivors and wid
ows and children of deconsed soldiers
nnd sailors of tho war of the rebellion.
The latter number represents those
pensioned on account of disabilities or
death resulting from nrmy nnd navy
service. The number of persons re
maining on the rolls June SO, 1893, who
wore pensioned under the act of June
27, 1800, which allows pensions on ac
count of death nnd disability not
chargeable to army service, was 469,155.
The number added to the rolls dur
ing the year was 123,034, and the num
ber dropped was 33,000. The first pay.
ments on pensions allowed during the
year amounted to $33,750,540.08. This
includes arrears, or the accumulation
between the time from which the al
lowance of pension dates and the time
of actually granting the certificate.
Although the law of 1800 permits
pensions for disabilities not related to
military service, yet as a requisite to its
benefits a disability must exist Incapac
itating applicants ‘‘from the perform
anee of manual labor to such a degree
as to render them unable to earn a
support.”
The execution of this law in Its early
stages does not seem to have been in
accord with its true intention; but to
ward the close of the last administra
tion an authoritative construction was
given to the statuto, and since that
time this construction has been fol
lowed. Tills has had tho cflectof lim
iting tiie operation of the law to its in
tended purpose. The discovery having
been made that many names had been
put upon the pension roll by means of
wholesale and gigantic frauds, tho
Commissioner suspended payments
upon a number of pensions which
seemed to be fraudulent or unauthor
ized ponding a complete examination,
giving notice to the pensioners, in or
der that they might have an opportu
nity to establish, if possible, the justice
of their claims notwithstanding appa
rent invalidity.
This, J understand, is tin practice
which lias for a long time prevailed in
the JVnsion jiureau; but after enter
ing upon these recent investigations
tins Commissioner modified this rulo so
as not to allow, until after a complete
examination, interference with tho
payment of a pension apparently not
altogether void, hut which morely had
been fixed at a rate higher than that
authorized by law.
I am unublo to understand why
frauds in the pension rolls should not
bo exposed and corrected with thor
oughness and vigor. Every name
fraudulently put upon these rolls is a
wicked imposition upon the kindly sen-
tiiiient in Which pensions have their or
igin; every fraudulent pensioner has
become a had citizen; every false oath
in support of a pension has made perju
ry more common, and false and unde
serving pensioners rob the people not
only of their money, of the patriotic
sentiment which tho survivors of war,
who fought for tho preservation of the
Union, ought to inspire. Thousands of
neighborhoods have their well known-
fraudulent pensioners, and recent de
velopments by tho Bureau establish
appalling conspiracies to accomplish
pension frauds.' Jiy no means the least
wrong done is to brave and deserving
pensioners, who certainly ought to be
condemned to nidi association.
Those who attempt in tho
duty to r»e‘!"y t'o se wrong

About the Governorship.
Alpharetta Freo Press.
To the Editor qf the Free Press: The
two candidates before the people up to
date for Governor are Gen. Clement A.
Evans and Hon. W. Y. Atkinson—Ev
ans an honored minister of the gospel,
botwoen 65 and 70 years of age» Atkin
son, an orator and statesman, a little
over 40 years of age.
Gon. Evans has bad very littlo to do
with polities since the war. If tho rev
erend general hud that powerful In
fluence over the people that certain
papers claim for him, why did he not
use it two years ago when it was so
badly needed? His in fine nee then was
local; very local—so much so that not
one-half of the people of the State
know there was such a man until ho
placed himself in tho bunds of acertaiti
ring as its candidate for Govornor. The
Constitution and Journal say that he
has been making speeches all over the
Slate, but they have not published any
of thoso speeches, nor have they given
ns one word from his revered lips.
The fact of tho business is, they are
afraid to publish thonk They know
that tlie Third Party could handle the
general quite easily. Tito Third Party
would foci more confident of victory
next-full if lie slioul J lie nominated.
Col. AlkliiBon was hoard two yours
ago from tho mountains to the sea in
the cause of Democracy, and lie did
everything in his power to socuro .the
election of tho Democratic ticket. And
'that is not all. Ho has been working
in tho interests of tho people for the
last ton years. As to ills vote on the
Noldiers’ home bill, his explanation is
sufilciout to Ralisiy any fair-minded
man.
I hope that tho Democrats of old
Milton will see thnt Atkinson dologu-
tos go from this county. Let’s get to
gether and orgnniso Atkinson clubs all
over tho county.

,111ns,
Ho beaut Ifal nnd white,
I think how fit nn emblom
Of n lira so pure and bright:
Methlnks how like tho snowflakes
Hho softly sank to rest.
And foil In snoiloss Purity
Upon hor Savior’s breast.
Died, at her hom^tn Coweta county,
Gn., November 23d, 1893, Mrs. Eliza
beth Plunkett Ilughen—aged 78.
In early life she was married to Mr
Carey Ilughen, a man who has won the
love nnd respect of every one by his ex
emplary life. For 02 years were they
allowed to walk in loving companion
ship. They wore, indeed, united in
slucere and mutual osteem. They
both united themselves to the M. E.
Church. In their lives wo lmvo had
beautiful examples of noble Christian
characters, whoso doily walk was nn il
lustration of living for nnd seeking to
do their Master’s will. Although^ she
was unable to attend church, yet tier
heart was there, minglin ' in tho pray
ers and Rongs offered up to God. Her
linuse was ever the home of the preach
ers. It was their delight to be with
hor, nnd they never left without feel
ing that they had boon benefited—Bbe
was so bright aud choorful amidst, her
sufferings. For years she was a con
stant, and, at times, un acute sufferer,
hut site bore her nlllictiouR without a
mi/hmir; nnd as long as her poor, fal
tering tongue could speak, the prayers
went up from tier trembling lips for
patience to hear her sufferings for hor
Savior’s sake, until she could ho called
to join tho glorified band "who lmvo
passed through much tribulation nnd
wushed their robes and made them
white through the blood of the Lamb."
Tho oommunity in which she lived
haB lost a true friond. She was over
ready to lend a helping hand to the
poor and noedy. Many love to remem
ber her acts of kindness.
Her children anil her grundchildron
will miss her Horely.
Beware of Credit.
Fort Vntlo.v Lender.
Recently wo have seen many car
Ioa Is of mules passing through here
for tho markets in Southern Georgia
This would Indicate that either the
fanners or mule dealers one are still
crazy. There is not money en nigh in
the country to pay cash for all the
males, and to either buy or sell them
on credit to raUe cotton with at pres
ent prices is not only huzurdous, hut
fodlmrdy. We would gladly welcome
nny revival of trade, and rejoice to
a ,y kipil jf business improve on any
tiling like a r uhslantial basis, hut , we
must con ess that we do not want' to
‘oo a "boom” n business if It is all to
h i based on tho same old principle of
credit that lias already cost this noun
try so much suffering and hard«lii|
It will he a grout oil bettor, a groat
deal better, for us as a people to use
every means and .-ffori, to place tho
credit bu*ine*i forever behind us, and
strive while we have the best of all op
porturiities to get to a cash basis in ull
of our business affairs. There is no ne
cessity for or sense in a heavy credit
business this year, und those who
gage in it to nny great extent wo be
lieve, are terribly in their own light,
and are retarding the general prosper!
ty of the country.
Discriminate.
Always discriminate. There
poor novels, and it requires no self-de
nial not to read them; there are had
novels, and it does require self-denial
uot to read them, and there are good
novels. There are plays, good, bad
and indifferent. J'laynrs and singers
are like the rest of us. I will not make
war against any "class” of people.
1’eople cannot ho classified by trade
or profession. Wo have to deal with
people one by one. The very name
of preacher, clergyman or priest sets
some people wild. Why should wo be
classified; wo are good, badanJ indif
ferent. Treat us as individual men,
do-even so with the people of any pro
fession or trade. Do so with the peo
ple who sing for u*. who play for us
And, generally—
Gently scan thy brother imiD,
Hllll Rentier sister woman.
There is nothing in any calling to
make men noble; nothing in any call
ing to make men base. I find noble
ness and I find meanness in all the
callings. When you Hill me what work
a man does I am still ignorant of what
the man is.—Mayron W. Reod.
"A precious ono from us lias none,
A voice we lovutl Is stilled;
A pliifii Is vneiiut tu our home
Tlmt nover can be flliod.”
Hut we should strivo to emulate the
beautiful life she led, and remember
she is only waiting on- "the other
shore,” to welcome us with that same
sweet smile we ull remember so well.
Ilut her liushnnd III loneliness Is left—
til' all hope and Joy Ills life scorns bereft.
Hut their parting will bo short and
their meeting so sweet. He stands
now on the threshold of that "Beauti
ful Land,” und cun almost see her as
she beckons him on,
Tbe one sweet drop in the bitter
draught is that our dear grandmother
has but gone from un earthly - home to
a heavenly one,—from the presence of
devoted husband and loving ohildren
to tho extended arms of our Fatfier in'
heaven;—from the cares and sufferings
of earth to a realm of unchangeable
bliss.
Hho now lies in the old churchyard
near her home, the graves of loving
kindred around her, and the procjpus
dust of her dear children and grand
children will mingle with hers until tbe
rosurrection morn, when the last trump
shall sound, when Hhe will go forth .to
receive the glad plaudit, "Well done,
good anil faithful servant.”
A Loving Grandchild.
Powellvilla, Ga., Fob. 10th, 1804.
About one-third of the entire cur
rency of the country is locked up in
the bitiks of New York. And that Is
tho reason why the Democratic party
is in favor of State hanks, We want
