Observe him as he pursues the even tenor of his way and you’d think, “Why, that gentle man is not of the mould man-hunters are cast in ; he’s too quiet, and has the appearance of a delegate to New Jeru salem.’’ Well, there’s where you “reck 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 tems hilariously full of such bug-juice as the local “tiger” men furnish for coin. A pile of subsidiary dinaro, or namented with an open razor, was ly ing across and in front of each game ster.

Martin visited Newnan Saturday, and were the guests of their daughter, Mrs. Fred Lyle. -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 ly that a city of Carrollton’s standing 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. The marble appointments of the First National bank office, and the pol ished cheaux-de-frise that picket in the area allotted to the president and his official entourage, have no counterpart outside the Parisian bourse.

The superintendent has much cause to he gratified with the showing made by the school, and espe cially the younger members. —Mrs. G. A. Byram, who was seri ously injured in an automobile acci dent a few days ago. is recovering from her injuries. —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 tion to the samples designated. Unlim ber your thought-mill and grasp this statement, made by Carrollton’s boss zealot, Jesse Travis, and you’ll know it’s a corker. The "Coweta Club,” a social organization of Newnan, has moved into its new quarters. It’s a jewel. I dropped into it a few days ago, and things looked very nice and new. The floor was so immaculate 1 found myself pulling off my shoes for fear of mussing up the floor. Its splendors radiate from the windows like the aurora borealis. —The Agricultural and Mechanical College has rounded up another period of its successful career.

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 «ent tearing down the road, scared within an inch of my life, and over taking one of the boys, says I: ‘Citi zen, (it was Hardaway, who wore a long-tailed jeans coat, like those worn by citizens at that period, and for his toggery we nicknamed him “citizen.”) 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 every now and then I’d ride a small sapling that would throw me back- JACK POWELL, 32 Spring Street. wards head over heels.

My wind getting pretty low in my inspirator, I stopped and put my ear to the ground to listen if the thing was still coming, for 5 was pretty sure Fd gained on it. The noise was still alarmingly near, and; 1 set out again at the top of my speed'. Suddenly I ran against a tree, and: went right up it, as I thought, thirty-five or forty feet. When near the Sop I took a seat on a limb and wound' my legs around the tree. I felt that the tree was big enough to protect me from the roller, and lulled by a sense »f security 1 was soon asleep.
