"Acorn?” And yet this is a
fact, for that apostle of cheap lighting,
Mr. A. S. Jones, a citizen of the thriv
ing village of Turin, was here Friday
garnering the air into his "Acorn”
lamps, ami making a white light that
would cause the noontide sun to hiush
for want, of a better lighting appara
tus. There were formerly two ele
ments supposedly free to internal im
provement l>y man . hut, alas ! the cu
pidity of inventive genius sells both!
Then what an* you going to do for free
air and free water lunches? There’s
hut one way, (and that belongs to fu
turity,) cheek your spiritual baggage

War is now being waged between
<ien. Green, who commands the crab-
gras.-- brigade, and the cotton farmer.
I’he General insists it is cheaper to
raise hay than cotton —hay being the
most profitable crop. Hut the cotton-
raiser assaults the General all along
the line, claiming that if his cotton
crop should be absorbed by the home-
raised hay market he'd have nothing
to break his hack over.
Miss Daisy Harris spent Saturday

father, Uov. Geo. D. Harris.
f.Dw city school board shows its es

At her elegant home on the Boule
vard do Roma, Mrs. Frank Weems en
tertained the Willing Workers, an ad
junct to our local Baptist Foreign Mis
sionary Society. It is reported that the
good sisteren gave the honorable Sage
of Thomson, Ga., (Tom Watson) an el
egai.t roasting for remarks he had been
making anent dimes and dollars sent
the heathen Chinee and other ochre-
hued orientals. Paste him again, sis
ters! Let’s teach him to attend to his
Third Party broth, and not meddle with
our kettle of tish that is cooking be
yond the placid waters of the Pacific.
He falls a lightin'. Some people
might say that ex-Gov. Smith is an au
tocratic, vindictive personage. There
are others who insist that his ex-excel-
leney hath nothing but the fear of the
Lord before his eyes and an abiding de
sire to promote the pro bono publico.
The fact that he was hoist with his
own petard as a result of discharging
a ltailroad Commissioner a couple of
years ago does not deter him from tir
ing another Commissioner whose acts
do not conform to his views and wishes.
The last dischargee, Hon. Guyt McLen
don, replaced the present Governor
on the Railroad Commission, who
was discharged for not acting in con
formity to the wishes of the mild-
mannered Governor that was. Well,
Guyt, you took the job, and promised
both the people and the Governor you’d
give Atlanta port rates or bust. Did
anybody take you on' “top of the
mountain” and show you things, or
was it that you rended an old master
to placate a new one? Guyt, beware of
trying tu ride two political horses at
one time, lest you fall between them.
As the retiring Governor is persona non
grata with the legislative body, pos
sibly you may hold your job by the grip
of your eyelashes.
-We are going to put a crimp in
both the Atlanta and Macon fairs this
fall, by way of showing the farmers
what the A. & M. School of the Fourth
Congressional district can do in getting
up a premium list, and agricultural,
live stock, and other displays. In
furtherance of this worthy move the
Carrollton Board of Trade met on the
22d ult. to discuss ways and means.
The following committee was appointed
by President Chas. E. Hoop: Prof. J.
H. Melson, chairman, J. L. Heaton,
J. A. Maudeville. H. P. Kelly. W. J.
Millican, B. B. Thomasson, R. W. Ad
amson and A. K. Snead. The province
of the foregoing committee is to form
ulate plans, ways and means. The fol
lowing standing committees were also
appointed: On Attractions—J. H. Mel
son; on premiums- A. K. Snead, W. J.
Millican and-R. W. Adamson; on finance
for Carroll-J. A. Murrah; on finance
for Carrollton—J. A. Maudeville and
J. L. Heaton; on publicity H. P.
Kelly and B. B. Thomasson It should
he the purpose and pride of every
county in the district to make the fair
such a success as will be gratifying
to all the people of the Fourth district.
The Carrollton platoon of G com
pany, 5th Ga., N. G., will soon be off
to camp at St. Simon’s, or some other
seaport town. The boys make a fine
showing, and there’s no reason why
Carrollton should not have the whole
company.
It’s an accepted fact that the minds
of great men run somewhatly in the
same channel. Mr. T. Jefferson, who
invented the Constitution of this repub
lic, also built a hole in his door for the
big cats and a smaller one for the lit
tle kittens. Dr. ,1. B. Camp, whose
originality is only second to that of the
Wizard of Menlo Park, built a splendid
| gate, like those one sees about the
j walls of Damascus, and ornamented
with a triumphal arch like that at Bar
celona. The gate has an automatic de
vice ;—touch the button and she flies
wide open on greased hinges. But this
did not suffice. The Doctor is a coven-
ience-loving man. The big gate was
all right for buggies and wagons, but
he thought the wheelbarrow deserved
some consideration also, so he cut a
smaller gate in the middle of the big
one for the wheelbarrow man and his
team of Rocky Mountain billies. The
small gate adorns the big one as does a
basket hat a dainty damsel.
—Miss Leila Adamson, who has been
spending a week or ten days in Atlanta,
returned home Saturday.
—Mrs. A. 0. Haile and brother, Mr.
Jos. H. Croft, have returned from
Bluffton Springs, after a ten-days’
stay.
-Mrs. Geo. Tumlin, of Decatur, re
turned home Thursday, after a week’s
visit to Carrollton relatives.

a former popular ticket agent here, ar
rived Sunday. 11 is wife and children,
who have been visiting her mother,
Mrs. E. R. Sharpe, returned with him
Monday.

Mrs. R. 1,. Yancey, of Hattiesnurg,
Miss., who arrived in the city Monday.
Master Clay and Miss Adolph Cov
ington, of Atlanta, will spend the sum
mer with their grandmother, Mrs. Jen
nie Smith.
—We hear of lively times at Borden-
Wheeler springs. The opening ball,
which occurred Friday, attracted
(juite a number of our society people—
among others. Miss Marie Bradley and
Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Boykin.
—Mr. Sam Brock, a State University
student, has returned home, accompa
nied by his sister, Ruth, who attended
the recent commencement exercises of
the University.
It is said a Jersey bull is a had ac
tor when turned loose on the public
highway; a vicious dog has a few idio
syncrasies not in harmony with human
alves; an infuriated woman has a way
of making the breeches-wearing con
tingent scoot;—hut a combination of
all these with the mean qualities of a
Tasmanian devil thrown in to round off
a sure-enough bad actor, and you have
a few of the villainous qualities of the
red-headed scorpion leastwise that’s
the impression one gets from what
Judge J. H. Barron tells of this fulmo
nut# anthropod. A few days ago he
and a friend (a six-footer who kicks
the beam at 200 pounds,) were going
through the woods to determine some
land lines. As they passed a hollow
tree a big red-headed scorpion, ten or
twelve inches in length, jumped upon
the big man, who knocked him off and
passed on, thinking no more of the
circumstance. Half an hour or so later
the big man began to twitch his shoul
ders. as though something had invaded
the inter-scalpular space the point you
can’t scratch when it itches. Suddenly
he fell upon his allfours and began to
caper around in a most ludicrous and
unaccountable manner. He shot up to
a perpendicular and began to fling his
clothes from him. After pulling off his
coat and shirt, the scorpion was found
tangled up in the folds of his under
shirt. lhe Judge gallantly assaulted
the reptile and knocked it from its
moorings; but quicker than thought it
jumped upon its victim. It was again
removed, but kept jumping viciously at
the man, who danced the can-can, and
did several measures of the "highland
tling” to keep the lizard from climb
ing his bifurcated masts. It was final
ly killed, and a more hideous monster
doesn’t inhabit the woods. The scor
pion-ridden one. after the performance,
reached back into his soap-pocket and
removed a leather-covered vessel, and
sucked from it a few gurgles of the
contents. He still lives, hut is only a
shadow of his former self.
—Dr. J. D. Hamrick attended the
Opticians’ Association in Atlanta last
week.
—Mr. Edgar Johnson, who took his
degrees in pharmacy at the State Uni
versity. has accepted a position with
an Atlanta drug house.
—If Gov. Smith had remained in of
fice six months longer he’d have throt
tled the good roads movement by turn
ing all the convicts out of the "gang. ”
A day or two before his time was up
for directing how things in Georgia
should be conducted, he pardoned a life
convirt from Henry county, Wm.
Young, who was one of Warden
Sharp’s pets.
— Misses Ethel Carroll and Christine
Fitts have returned from Atlanta,
where they spent a couple of days.
"Little Joe,” the big Democratic
Governor of Georgia, has led the peo
ple back to simple Jeffersonian meth
ods of making a two-year Governor.
The spectacular demonstration of two
years ago that marked the inauguration
of Gov. Smith had no place in the sim
ple and unostentatious ceremony of the
26th of June. Gov. Brown has set the
pace for safe and sane Democratic
office-holders, and those who be clothed
with a “little brief authority” should
remember that they hold their official
station by the will of the voters, and
that the people are not disposed to
apotheosise a job lot of office-holders.
No, no; not yet!
The services at the Christian
church closed Thursday evening. The
meeting had been in progress for three
weeks, conducted by Dr. L. D. Colyer,
an eminent South Carolina divine.
Much good has been effected by the
zealous work of Dr. Colyer.

—The third annual session of the
Carroll County Masonic Convention
met at the lodge hall Thursday morn
ing, with quite a large attendance. All
the county lodges were represented

- Mrs. J. A. Lifsey is visiting rela
tives in McDonough this week.
The Rome Tribune-Herald goes
into conniptions over “another valua
ble asset—the mocking bird”—which
it has come to recognize as part and
parcel of our floating or flying obliga
tions. It is a fact that the bleak hills
and dales of the North, the East and
far West do not boast this charming
warbler. But the fruit-growers of the
South pay pretty dearly for the sweet
songster’s whistle. He can mock any
thing that chirps- from a spring lizard
to a locomotive. He performs best in
the cool of the afternoon, as he sits in
a tree full of ripe cherries, or makes
his perch ’mid clustering, purple
grapes. Every time he warbles a tune
he gulps a dozen cherries or a bunch of
grapes. He’s like the crane that swal
lowed the live eel—the fruit won’t stay
swallowed; the consequence is, he puts
the grapes and cherries through his ci
der-mill at an alarming rate. He’s
rather a costly ornament. I’d rather
have a drove of bee martins than one
mocking bird, because the bee martin
is a good hawk-hunter, while the latter
is only a dress parade glutton.
—After a week’s visit to Moreland
