I’assing by this lovely tree a mercenary saw mill man beheld it and doomed it to boards. Its slivered contents were sent to this country. It was metamor phosed. Behold a suite of furniture— lit adornment for a prince’s apart ment! if you should overgo to New- nan, I pray you enter the Virginia House by the front door, and proceed directly up the stairway. Enter the first chamber to the right of the land ing, and there, in all the glory of the artisan’s skill, you will find it. Its owner is a cotton magnate, who in a few years has wrenched from the un willing hands of Fortune a brimming bushel of auriferous bullion. It is he who owns a splendid span of Kentucky hays, and a dazzling chariot that would have made Hhaethon’s fabled equipage look like thirty cents. The pedigogic I was about to say “instinct,” hut will abridge the force of that word by saying “disposition” has seized me to make wise those who have been forced to cudgel their brains for a meaning to the words “Chateau D'lf,” (pronounced deel’,) which I have someth lines used in connection with the common jail. The Chateau D’lf, made famous by Dumas’ novel, “The Count of Monte Cristo, ” and also as being the prison in which republican France incarcerated Mirabeuu and I’hilippe Egalite, is situated on the small island of If, two miles west southwest of Mar seilles, France. The words “Chateau D’lf,’’ divested of their Gallic con struction and rendered into plain Uni ted Stales, means, “The Castle of If,” and, by extension, the Dungeon of If. — After a ten-days’ encampment in »n adjacent Vallambroso, Messrs. H. W Long and Bernard Bass have re turned to the dreary wastes of civiliza tion.

Miss (Teopatra Re headgear artist who feminine battery at Bass-Coalson Co.’s store, returned to her home in Atlanta Wednesday. Miss Reese was very pop ular here, and her departure makes more than one of her admirers wear a serious, faraway expression. There’s one of her admirers who takes her de parture so seriously that his grief and pining is wearing him into a shoe string. Cheer up, lay; don’t mourn like those who are without hope, for every day will he Sunday bye and bye. -Judging from the embarkations and debarkations, one would suppose quite a number of our Carrollton folk attended the Newnan chautauqua. It is always worth your time and money to visit that town. -The picnicker is abroad in the land, and the dagger is in wait for his suc culent hams; hence, the poet war bles— “If a chiirge Sa.v. big a; And his digg comb, and rarely a fakey escapes.

Whore d you be now.”’ The aoove may be a little shop-worn, but it fits the occasion like a monkey’s cap. Our vigilant sheriff, Wiley Garrett, continues to cast his dragnet into the perturbed sea of crime; and he finds of legerdemain was town talk, throwing mail he took lessons from an Australian boomerang flinger. He’s an adept. Can walk on his hands and tie out his runs, and stand on his head and read any sort of chirography, from Egyptian hieroglyphics to the dainty fist of a summer giri. —Dr. W. H. Malone, an Esculapean of Mt. Zion, was in town Tuesday. He reports a fine grass crop in his section. The Woman’s Missionary Society held its session at the home of Mrs. G. P.

Bottoms, of Jonesboro, will teach a vocal class in Carrollton, beginning July 14. The term will last three weeks. —Most people have a hankering af ter the unknowable. Some worry their brains to know how it will be when they close their eyes and ears to time, and have that indefinable essence called “soul” launched upon the abyss of the outer worlds to seek a haven, and to find it where? Most are curious to know how the goddess of Chance will deal with their earthly destinies— whether good or bad fortune awaits them.

She is the same Miss Nyni Tsung l,ea who has been the guest of Mrs. W. S. Witham in Atlanta. Our people don’t draw the color line on the copper- colored orientals as they do on the cifio coast. But what is infinitely worse, the Gold Coaster thinks a white man as good as a nigger as long as the Caucasian behaves himself. I can see no harm in extending the saffron-hued lady the courtesies due her sex. — Villa Rica sends a couple of dele gates to the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Ex position in the persons of Messrs. G. B. Malone and S. G. Felder. The Carroll county boy has ad vanced more than a Sabbath day’s jour ney in point of civilization and culture from the cliff-dwellers of yesterday. The simlin heads of those anthropa- higi betokened that the foliations of their brains were nailed to the outer walls of their cranial exeresences—that they’d rather eat a fat baby of an ene my than a squab. Behold the Carroll county lad; he has no tootli for an en emy’s baby—the squab’s good enough for him.

K, 34th Ga. hirn, the irony of fate has now de prived his depriver of satrapic power, and Judge Harris is likely to be again installed as Adjutant-General.

Per haps you’d better answer the question when I’ve put you in possession of some facts. He advertises in a local paper ; “ A bright boy wanted : There will be a vacancy in the cadetship at the U. S. Naval Academy next year to which the Fourth district is entitled. 1 would like to hear from smart, healthy boys between the ages of 16 and 20, who wish an opportunity to stand the examination.” The question arises, has the Judge and Congressman Hobson, of Alabama, put their warlike heads together and determined to build a hundred “Dreadnoughts,” “Devasta tions,” and other awe-inspiring engines of war to add to our impuissant naval armament? Well, if he’s that kind of a jingo let u» pat him on the back and sick him on. We want a navy that can lick Germany, and while taking a breathing spell put Togo’s tubs out of the running.

He advised Gilbert of the fact that he’d have money of him or a white man’s blood. The coroner’s jury returned the following verdict:] “George Bonner, who now covers the I cooling board, came to his death by fooling with the right man, who pump ed his hide full of 3S-caliber lead.” The commitment trial was held Mon day and Mr. Gilbert was discharged.
