When Johnnie comes to grandma's house there’s mud upon the floor, And thumb-prints on tho banisters and grouse on every door; The house is always upside down tho whole time he is there; Poor Nora sighs ami wonders why dear grandma doesn’t care. But when at lust that boy’s in bed and everything is still, Old Towser leaves tho barn and Tabby ventures forth at will- - ’Tin then tho much abused urm-chair holds con clave in the dark With the old clock in the corner, standing thero so still and stark.

What’s the world u-com ingto?” JEFFERSON DAVIS, LOVER. Confederate Veteran. The life of President Davis ran the gamut of all emotions; he was swept on by Fate till he mounted the highest pinnacle of fame and was tossed back till for years, save among his own peo ple, there were few so poor as to do him reverence, and now, in death, once again he has taken his place among the great immortals. In his early youth the golden glow of romance lit his life into divine radiance. He waB only twenty-five when he fell in love with Susan Knox Taylor, the daughter of Gen. Taylor, called by his many friends “old Zack” and “Rough and Ready.’ Gen. Taylor was hot-tempered, and bit terly resented his daughter's engage ment to the young lieutenant, though he had no further reason for his oppo sition than his being a soldier, and he was opposed to a military life for his child. For nearly two yearB the young peo pie ke ( -if faithful to each other, though meeting but seldom. Then, as the ; al tar fires of love Btill burned as brightly as ever, Miss Taylor went to her fath er and told him if he could advance no better reason for his opposition than the one he had already given she had decided to cast in her lot with young Davis, and they would, be married at the ancestral home of the Taylors. With the full knowledge that she was giving up home and father forever, Miss Taylor bade him good-bye, and, on the steanier, made her way to Louis ville, where her young lover was to join her. Here she was met by her father’s eldest sister, Mrs. Gibson Tay lor, who took her to the beautiful old Taylor home on the Brownsboro road, near Louisville, Ky. Lieut. Davis arrived in Louisville few days before the wedding, and June 17, 1835, visited the court-house with Hancock Taylor, a brother of Zachry, and obtained a license to mar ry “Susan Knox Taylor, of lawful age, as testified to by Hancock Taylor.” The wedding wap set for the after noon of the 18th, and as the happy bridegroom was riding in his buggy through the shady roads, he was hailed by Patrick Pope, the County Court clerk, who had issued the license, who said: “Lieutenant, will you let me see that license? I want to look at it again.” When he took the license in his hands he deliberately tore it into bits and threw them in the road. Dum- founded, the bridegroom, whose wed ding was not three hours off, stared at the man and demanded an explanation of what seemed the act of a madman. The clerk said he had been informed that Miss Taylor was under age and that her father was intensely antago nistic to the marriage. There was no time for argument. So Lieut. Davis drove quickly to the house of the bride’s relatives and told his story. Hancock Taylor waB very indignant, and called his sister, Mrs. Gibson Taylor, to the conference. She Baid she had lately received a letter from her brother, Zachary, in which he stated that he still opposed the mar riage for the old reasons, but that his daughter wasof age; and if she persisted in her intention, the wedding had best take place in the family home. This was enough for Hancock Taylor, who, with his nephew-elect, drove rapidly to the court-house. Here he swore to the bride’s age—twenty-two—and demand ed of Clerk Pope a reissuance of the license. With this, they returned, the horse covered with foam from the swift drive, and within a few moments of their return the bride and groom stood side by Bide in a room made beautiful with the fulness of June blooms, lis tening to the grand words of the Epis- And the cause of all thla trouble-do you think the rascal cares?— Is miles away In Slumber Land in his small bed upstairs; But grandma says, when she Roes In to tuck the ti blankets down. Dear, dear, we will be lonesome when that boy Roes back to town.” —[Marie Grove. copal marriage service given by Rev, Mr. Ashe, at that time the only Epis copal clergyman in Louisville. Mrs. Robinson, who was one of the Taylor children present at the wed ding, says: ”My cousin, Knox Taylor, was very beautiful, alight, and not very tall, with brown wavy hair and clear gray eyes, very lovely and lova ble, and a young woman of decided spirit. She was dressed in a dark truv eling dress, with a small hat to match Lieut. Davis was dressed in the con ventions of the time, in a long-tail cut away coat, brocaded waistcoat,, breeches tight-fitting and held under the instep with a strap, and high stove pipe hat. He was of slender build, had polished manners, nnd was of a quiet, intellectual countenance." Lewis Taylor nnd Sallio Taylor (af terwards Mrs. Jewett), first cousins of the bride, were groomsman and maid of honor. None of Lieut. Davis’ poo pie could bo present, and the guests were entirely of the bride’s relatives, Mrs. Robinson says she distinctly re members how she shared the other children's disgust because Mr. Davis was the only person present who .did not cry. The bride and groom left at once on the steamboat for Natchez, Miss. July and August were spent in honeymoon ing at the different plantations of his people in Mississippi and Louisiana. In September, at Locust Grove, the plan tation of his sister, Mrs. Luther Smith, near Bayou Sara, both were stricken with malarial fever. From the first her case was hopeless, and though des perately ill himself, Lieut. Davis nursed her day and night. On September 5, as the afternoon shadows were gather ing softly, she began to sing, in her beautiful voice, “Fairy Bells,” her fa vorite song. He soothed her to quiet with fond words and caresses, and nestling in the arms of her young lover, like a tired child she fell asleep, a sleep that knew no waking. (It is a singular coincidence that so many years after, years filled with tri umphs and defeats, joys and sorrows he should have contracted again this fever in the same place and be carried to New Orleans to fall asleep in turn “Life’s fitful fever \ over, ho rests well.”) When Zachry Taylor heard of the death of his young daughter, like the prophet of old, he refused to be com forted; but he did not forgive the bridegroom who had taken her away from him. Four years passed on, and in the war with Mexico the young lieutenant won many laurels, and his name became a synonym for valor and patriotism; but the grim general made no sign. It was only when in the bat tle of Buena Vista, and Col. Davis, by his brilliant generalship, practically saved the day to the Americans, that he relented and sent for his Bon-in-law, and across the chasm of years peace was declared between them. The old house, the scene of the gol den romance of Jeff Davis’ youth, has passed into other hands. The Taylor family has drifted away, and no one cared for the house, with its poetic ghoBts of memory. One story has been removed from the house, and the other part is rapidly falling to decuy. The room in which that day, in joyous June, waB held the fairy-like marriage, is now used for a bed-room by a farmer boy, whose toil-deepened slumbers are never disturbed by dreams of that long-ago romance. The pigs and chickens feed at the doorstep once crossed by the fair bride, the daughter of one future President, and the wife of another. Only the locust trees are faithful. Year by year they offer their burden of blossoms as snowy and Bweet as when the wedding bells rang their joyful peals. They alone whisper together of the marriage that they saw—the joy- crowned woman who so soon would fall asleep to dream no more. Mr. Davis was not only good and honorable, he was a devoted Christian. In 1862, in the midst of the stress of war which tried men's souls, he was baptized by Dr. Charles Minnegerode, rector of St. Paul’s church at Rich mond. During the anxious years after the war he was often wounded ;by un just criticisms at home and abroad; but unjust criticisms must be expected by all persons bearing heavy responsibili ties. Even George Washington was abused by enemies, both British and American. We may be glad that the Lord gave Mr. Davis a long life, and that, instead of dying under the weight of his and our sorrows and griefs, he lived to the age of eighty, and that peace and love crowned his days. At “evening time it was light” for him. Hers Is Relief for Women.

The action of the Senate in voting to admit the Territories of New Mexico nnd Arizona to statehood is the culmi nation of a long fight for their recogni tion, Hnd the last that ever will be made to admit new States in the Continental United States. With the admission of these two Ter ritories there will be no more except the non-contiguous ones of Alaska, Guam, Hawaii, Panama Canal Zone, the Philippines, Porto Rico, nnd the Tutulia Group, Samoa. These are cer tain to remain in their present condition for many years—in fact, no one is bold enougji to predict their final status. Thu Distr'ct of Columbia will also con tinue as a neutral possession of tho Fed eral Government. Within the last twenty yeurs there have been admitted to statehood eight States—North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Washington, Idaho, Wyom ing, Utah and Oklahoma. The trouble heretofore with the proposed admission of New Mexico and Arizona has been the effort to have them combined and admitted as one State. This plan failed about three years ago, and since then the matter has assumed such a shape that both parties made their admission an issue in their national platforms in 19u8. Arizona has an estimated population of 154,121, of which about 36,000 are Indians. There is an area of 113,936 square miles, twice the size of Georgia. It rejected by a popular vote the act admitting it to statehood with New Mexico. New Mexico is about the same size- 122,604 square miles—and has a popula tion of 226,885, of which about 18,000 are Indians. Although there has been much oppo sition to their admission either as ono State or separately, on various grounds, botli have the necessary population for a Representative when in Btatehood. The territories aro unlike in their po litical, economic nnd racial conditions, and to consolidate them would be un just to both. At present the political complexion is a Btand-oiT. Arizona has a territorial Legislature that is largely Democratic, but it is represented by a Republican in CongreBB; New Mexico has a territorial Legislature largely Re publican and .has a Republican Repre sentative. Of course, all the territori al officials are Republicans, being ap pointed by the President. WORSE EVERY YEAR. Have Plenty of Newnan Readers the Same Experience. Don’t neglect an aching back. It will get worse every year. Backache is really kidney ache. To cure the back you must cure the kidneys. If you don’t, other kidney ills will follow- ■ Urinary troubles, diabetes, Bright’s disease. A Newnan citizen tells you how—the cure is easy. Mrs. M. E. Smith, 12 First street, Newnan, Ga., says: “Doan’s Kidney Pills are certainly a fine remedy, and I willingly indorse them. For eight years Kidney trouble distressed me. It began with a weakness and occasional pains in my back, and steadily grew more severe until it developed into a constant dull aching through this re gion. I could not rest comfortably at night and would awake in the morning tired and depressed. Dizzy spells always annoyed me; in fact, I felt very badly. A friend recently advised me to take Doan’s Kidney Pills, and pro curing a box at Lee Bros’, drug store, I began their use. They helped me at once, and I fully believe that a contin ued use will permanently remove every symptom of my.complaint.” For sale by all dealers. Price 60 centB.
