Georgia elects a governor this

going to be a good deal of fun in
thecainpaign. Atkinson and Ev

B. Wheeler of Walker, and his
words of praise showed that our
Hon. Mr. Wheeler has a record

over Georgia. Our Mr. Wheeler

bill, which was passed, after a
hard fight in the house aud sen
ate, the act entitled, to limit the
session of the Georgia legislature
to fifty davs.

They report so much business in

JONES IS A DAISY
He Starts Naked in the Race for
| * Fortune.
i Boston, Mass., Feb. 13.—Clad
iin a mother hubbard gown con
structed of inanilla paper, and
held together with pins. Paul
Jones started out to-duy from a
room at the Boston Press club on
a tour of the world. He is to
earn his way around the globe
without borrowing, begging,
stealing or accepting alms.
The original proposition was
to start naked, and he made
enough from what he earned last
uight by charging admission to
the room to buy bis flimsy cos
tume. Ho also bought some sole
leather and made a pair of san
dals. He left the club house in a
cab for the Boston Tavern bfc 2 a.
m.
After gettiugsome sleep, .Jones
came dowu stairs at the Boston
at about 11. He was arrayed in
a drab blanket, which cost $1,25.
It had been cut into the sem
blance of a suit of clothes, and
bad trousers and a blouse.
With tnis, a pair of socks and a
pair of over shoes, leased from a
member of the Press club, he
perambulated down Washington
street to a clothing house. He
had accepted an offer for his pa
per suit of last night and bought
a “Scotch” suit for $5, a cheap
cheviot shirt for less tliau 81 and
some 50 cent underwear and
cheaper shoes and hat.
He secured a place as salesman
in a clothing store, appearing in
his blanket toboggan suit. He
waited on table at the Boylston
case, getting $1 and his luncheon.
The crowd surged and the tips
came plentifully. Meu paid 50
cents each to shake hands with
the going traveler. Ho got more
than $4 out of the 40 minutes at
the restaurant.
Jones will go first to New
York, and from there will work
his passage to London.—Phila

Boston, Feb. 14.—Paul Jones
left for Providence at 5:30 p. m.,
thus starting 'on his uuqne tour
of the world. By various de

flannel suits for exhibition, selling
the number of his negative for a
“fancy gig,” tips received, and by
actual work at numerous jobs, be
has succeeded, in the past two
days, in corralinga little over
SIOO. All but 35 cents and enough
to take him to Providence has
been put in a bank here, and he
says he shall deposit his earnings
in the various Americau cities
until he has enough to ( pay his
necessary expenses abroad. Then
he will get letters of credit and
draw upon it. He made a con
tract to-day with a large Boston
clothing firm and a shoe firm to
advertise their wares ou his
travels, and the shoe firm agreed
to give him employment in its
New York house upon his arrival
there, llis stay in Providence
will be governed entirely by cir
cumstances, aud he may not be
able to reach New York for two
or three days.—Philadelphia
