as he pursues the even tenor of his way
and you’d think, “Why, that gentle
man is not of the mould man-hunters

appearance of a delegate to New Jeru

on without your host," as recent devel
opments have demonstrated. In taking
the oath of office he construed it as
meaning what it said; that it imposed
upon him an obligation to the people to
suppress crime by bringing the viola
tors of the statutes to the legal lick-log ;
and he’s doing just that thing with a
frequency that appears like a departure
from the old methods. He obtained an
inkling a few nights ago that a bevy
of Senegambians (seven in number)
led by Three-up Joe, were down on the
banks of the Tallapoosa invoking the
presiding deity of a skin game to stand
to and by them. They had the game
going in a weaving way, and their sys

as the local “tiger” men furnish for
coin. A pile of subsidiary dinaro, or

-Notwithstanding the underpinning
of our police is in fine fettle, and as
sprinters they can catch a jack rabbit
in a mile heat any day in the week, yet
they have persuaded the City Council,
by one representation or another, to
mount them. They were clamorous for
horses, but the Council gave that aspi
ration the kibosh by setting them
astraddle of bicycles. This macked lib
erality on the part of the Council has
caused the chief much disappointment.
Since the arrival of the wheels the
chief appears exceedingly grave, and he
wears a frown that would make a pig
squeal to behold it. He says it is ridic
ulous for a nice policeman, mounted
on a pair of go-cart wheels, to have to
dig out after a fleeing “coon.” It is
like a man paying his passage on a ca
nal boat, and then working his way on
the tow-path. He intimates very broad

should be ashamed to have a bicycle
corps, when Atlanta, a town of less
ability, has its chief of police mount
ed on a calico pony, and his men on
well-groomed Texas broncos. The chief
has our sincere sympathy, and we trust
that the powers that control his official
destiny may let him draw from Life’s
toy-shop window a nice hobby horse,
lie’s a good boy, and deserves well at
the hands of the people.

—Whoever a Carrolltonian tells you
he has seen better, bigger, prettier or
more magnificent things than Carroll
ton has, you’ve got cold storage facts;
for, as we see it, there are few things
outside of our inflated limits that are
comparable to our municipal tout en
semble. Our girls are the prettiest:
the boys each have energy enough to
run a 4-h. p. coffee mill on full time,
thirteen out of the twenty-four hours,
and the remaining eleven they appear
to be the lovingest of unwinged angels.
Our babies are portly, pretty and plen
tiful, and “sweeter than honey from the
hives of Hibla.” All else in propor

zealot, Jesse Travis, and you’ll know
it’s a corker. The "Coweta Club,” a

—Those who have heard John Killgo
tell how Longstreet’s bull stampeded
Jackson's corps will recognize only the
salient points of the story, as no racoa-
teur can supply the minute and inter
esting details that Killgo works in with
masterly and naive effect: ”Burnsides
had crossed the Rappahannock,” said
Killgo, “and went up against Lee’s
breastworks at Fredericksburg. Histo
ry tells you that Lee handled him so
roughly that he recrossed the river.
Gen. Stonewall Jackson’s corps, of
which my regiment was a part, was
always like a {winter dog on the field-
active. and nosing about to give the
enemy trouble. He’d got a maggot in
his head after licking Burnsides. He
made us what you might call a compli
mentary speech. His address was
something like this: ‘Soldiers, you
have met and defeated a powerful en
emy. He flees at your approach. The
eyes of the nations are upon you, and
applaud your glorious achievement.
You have performed prodigies of valor,
but new victories are to be won before
we can conquer on terms of honorable
peace. Will you follow me?’ Weil,,
this bit of blarney made us crazy as
cows to follow the old hero. Orders
were given to cook three days’ rations.
This done, the corps took up its line oJ
march along the turnpike, followed by
Longstreet’s corps. About midnight the
column halted, and, as usual on a forced
march, the men were tired and sleepy.
The order was given: ‘Place arms;
rest.’ No sooner had the gums been
stacked than we sank upon the ground
and were soon fast asleep. We were
suddenly aroused by a most unearthly
noise. It sounded like a thousand
teams running at breakneck speed
along the stony pike. In my dazed im
agination I thought it was one of those
infernal yankee tricks. 1 imagined
they had made a roller two or three
miles long and had turned it loose at
the top of the hill, and that its fearful
momentum would mash the whole ot
us fiat as chinches. 1 jumped up and

within an inch of my life, and over

what’s the order?’ But he didn’t take
time to stop, and looking over his
shoulder he shouted : ‘Orders, h—1!
Take care of yourself!’ By this time
the whole line tore out through the
woods like stampeded cattle. No
amount of orders, persuasion or threats
on the part of a few cool-headed offi
cers could arrest the army’s wild (light.
Of course, I had no time for making
more than a few fleeting observations,
and thinking the big roller would soon
overtake me, I quit the turnpike, and

sapling that would throw me back-
