HE HAD A BAD HABIT. It Mftdc Him a Poor Itcatftke* HUk In Kentucky. The manager of a life insurance com pan? had the floor, “Life insurance companies. ’’ he was Baying, "are as particular about the people they already have on their lists as they are about getting them on in the beginning. They are rich, of course, hat they are no more anxious to take in a man who will die of disease within the first year or two than they are to take in a perfectly healthy man and have him hazard his life by taking pet eonal risks in dangerous pursuits or by travel in unhealthy countries. “1 remember a funny instance that occurred once while I was living in New England. One of our $10,000 men had a way of calling a man a liar in the most careless and indiscriminate man ner and with only the merest or no provocation. One day he was in our office and casually mentioned the fact that he was going to make a trip to Kentucky.

But if you go down to Ken¬ tucky we’ll have to advance the rate until you come back. ’ M i Well, what in--began the policy holder hotly, when the manager interrupted him. • » i Don’t fly the track, my dear fel¬ low,’ be said gently. ‘It’s all right here and the rate is satisfactory to us; but. by Jove, we can’t give you the same rate ahd let you go to Kentucky and call men liars like you do in this sec tion. Not much! We haven’t got $10, 000 policies to give away like that, and you oughtn’t to expect it.' ’’—Wash¬ ington Star. ' AN HONEST ARTIST. He Would Not Paint a Lie Even For a Napoleon. There was no love lost between the Emperor Louis Napoleon and his cousin. Prince Napoleon, whom the Parisians called “Plon Plon. ” The prince Used to make abusive speeches against the em¬ peror, which people were only too ready to repeat to him. "Let him alone,’ Louis Napoleon would reply. "He is too well known. No one would turn me to place him on the throne. ’’ The emperor was correct, for no one paid a good word about "Plon Plon.’' He was commonly believed to have shown the white feather in the Crimea and never exposed himself where the lend was falling. An English lady, who in her young days mingled with French society, tells in her "Foreign Courts and Foreign Homes’’ a story as discred¬ itable to Prince Napoleon as it is hon¬ orable to a French artist. While the artist was painting the historical picture of the battle of the Alma, which the emperor bad ordered, Prince Napoleon called at the painter’s studio to make known to him the facts. On leaving he said he wished the prom¬ inent figure in the battle to be himself mounted on his white charger. He sent the horse to the artist so that he could paint its exact portrait. When the pic¬ ture was finished and invitations were sent out for a “private view,” the white charger was seen, a prominent figure in the battle, but without a rider. On hearing of this terrible omission the prince sent an aid-de-camp to ask the reason. The honest arSist said the horse should remain if the prince wish¬ ed. bnt no rider would lie on it. "Tell the prince I have never yet painted a lie. The hint was taken. The prince ordered the horse to be rubbed out. Birds That Pl«jr. ' Some birds, like all children, like to play, and Australia and New Guinea produce the "bower bird. ” which bcilds regular playhouses.

Glossup has filed suit in the Superior court against Wil¬ liam B. Glossup for divorce. The petition states that the parties were married in Savannah, June 14, 1397 and alleges various charges of cruelty, neglect and ill-treatment. Mrs. Glossup will be remember¬ ed as the young woman who made a determined effort at suicide with morphine at a Broughton street boarding house within a few days after marriage to Glossup. The fact that the bridegroom was with¬ out means and that he showed very little regard for her was said to account for her desperation. The attempt at suicide was June 29, 1897, just fifteen days after the By good work on the part of physicians the young woman was ' saved. After recovering from the effects of the poison she left Savannah and her husband, and returned to her father’s home in Bulloch county. Mrs. Glossup re¬ turned to her husband in January, 1898, upon his promise that he would never maltreat her again. The petition states that very soon thereafter Glossup resumed his ill-treatment and abuse, and dur¬ ing the some month in which she returned to him drove her from the room which they were occupy¬ ing, and for a long time refused to allow her to return. She also charges that Glossup circulated false and damaging rumors against her of a most insulting and humil¬ iating nature, and that on account of his continued cruel treatment she was again forced tu leave him in February, 1898. Mrs. Glossup further states that during the month of February, 1898, she left Savannah to go to the home cf her parents in Bulloch county; that Glossup was on the train unknown to her, and that after the train left Savannah he approached her and by threats of personal violence and intimidation forced her to accompany him to Atlanta against her will. Upon their arrival in Atlanta he was again unkind and cruel to her and refused to allow her to leave him or to furnish her with the means of returning to Savannah. March 9, 1898, Glossup, she says, left the place where they were boarding and she has not seen him since, leaving her alone in a strange city without money and without friends and it was only through the char¬ ity of others that she was enabled to leave Atlanta and return to the home of her parents. Mrs. Glossup considers that the facts stated are sufficient to war¬ rant her in asking for a total di¬ vorce. She asks that the name which she bore at the time of her marriage to Glossup, Willie D. Holmes, be restored io her. Her maiden name was Darsey, Holmes being the name of her first hus¬ band, who died some time previous to her meeting with Glossup. The latter is said to be now a resident of the state of Mississippi, DOVER & STATESBORO R. R. Schedule In effect March 27tb, 1899. Go in g North.

A case was decided in the justice court here Monday in which the welfare of Statesboro was involv¬ ed to a greater extent than a casual observer would conceive. We tried to protect the town, but the jury went against us. Ccnsuie them, then, if there is too much harmonica music in town shortly. The case was like this: A jew drummer came to io\vn last sum¬ mer and inveigled one of our mer¬ chants (whose name we withhold through modesty) into giving him an order for a large amount of musical m3rchandise. (Some say there was a hundred and forty 1 dollars worth of the stuff and that it was all jews harps, but this is untrue!) When the drum¬ mer left, the merchant relented— lie.considered what a predicament Statesboro would be in with half a carload of harmonicas turned loose among the boys—and he sought by countermanding the order instanter to undo the dam¬ age that was about to be done. That was commendable but it too late. Alas! Since August all that music has been cased up in a certain store in town, and the town has been rocking peacefully along—no dis¬ cord to jar upon our nerves. But now the thing is different. The house that sold the harmonicas refused to accept the countermand and a competent jury in the jus¬ tice court sustained the house in its efforts to force those unhar monious harmonicas upon us. That means that Statesboro will have to endure the blowing until the diobolical things are blown out. It is not as bad, though, as it might have been—for instance, if there had been ’more of them and tbe} T had been jews harps instead of mouth organs. REMOVAL NOTICE. I have removed my office to the room in rear of Caldwell's drug store, lately occupied by Dr W. D. Ken nedy. W. S. Preetorius. Believed He’d Take Them. An ebony colored citizen from a rural district, with one eye look¬ ing up in a north-easterly direc¬ tion and the other looking down sorter to the south, walked into the Ordinary’s office Friday and wanted to buy “a pair” of mar¬ riage license. He went right to the point by asking if that was where they were kept, and when the official assured him that it was, he want¬ ed to know “What you ax fur ’em.” There is one old price for them which doesn’t fluctuate ac cor ling to the Imv of supply and demand, and the Ordinary told him the price was still only a dollar and fifty cents.
