Groover, Apply to D. jan!8tf Statesboro, Ga. The Kell Rifles Inspected. Under instructions f;om the Ad¬ jutant-General, Lt. T. J. Smith, of the Republican Blues,of Savannah, came up yesterday and inspected the Kell Rifles. The .boys were out in their new uniforms about 37 or 38 strong, and we eould see that Lt. Smith was pleased with their general ap¬ pearance. The only objection to dress was the style of collar some of the men wore; their shoes, caps, cuffs, gloves, etc., were all right. The officers wore coats handsomely braided back and front, with sword slit in left side. This is a new feature in dress regulations. Be¬ sides the shoulder straps, there was braided in silver on the collar, “1 Ga.” and on caps braided in gold were crossed rifles, and in silver the figure “1.” Our boys arecertainly up in dress regulations, but we are sorry we can’t say so much as to drill. The men were somewhat embarrassed at the beginning, but this was soon overcome by words of encourage¬ ment from Lt. Smith, after which the men did better. They now say that they know what is before them and intend to get down to drill in earnest. The command found Lt. Smith to be a clever gentleman, a strict disciplinarian, and a well-drilled officer, and expressed a hope that he would return during the summer and spend some time with them; and we can assure him that he will find no better place or people in Georgia than here. The Lieutenant was verv unwell V while here, but not too much so to give the boys a good shaking-up. StatesbQro and Bulloch county should be, and no doubt are, proud of the Kelis, and with the set de¬ termination of men and officers, our people need not be alarmed the future of this command. The inspector did not say what his report would be, but we take that it will not be long before onets are bristling on the streets of Statesboro. NEVER send out of town for JOB PRINTING.

THE FOOLS “Since the first serpent Eve eajooled So that the world was curst, Of all the fools that ever fooled The April fool’s the worst.” # * * Even the insurance man siezed his grip and rushed down the street Sunday morning when some one told him t)iere was a man who wanted his life insured. There may be, but McDonald didn’t find him in when he called. * * Some young ladies on South Main sent a note to one of their chums, asking the privilege to call, and signed a young man s receiv- name; Avery nice little note was ed favorable to the request. The best of it was, though, the young, man “got wind” of it, somehow, # and took advantage of the perm is* sion to call, * * A young man wrote a note to hia aunt, a young widow, ask it g if he (assuming a young bachelor’s name) might accompany her to church.

The Ordinary would not is sue the license, but friends of the groom prevailed upon Just ee Rountree to perform the ceremony upon a sufficient fee being deposit¬ ed with him to purchase the d (> 0 — ument next day. Those interest¬ ed in the plot took pains to assure every body they met that the an* preaching marriage was bonafide, and by dark there were a hundred people at the Harris house anxious to see the bride. Teams went from the stable to convey the bridal party from their place of hiding. If it had been an “April fool” of course the party never would have come, but they came oir tim *, and soon the innocent Justice had pro¬ nounced the couple “man and wife;” ladies had figure,” pronuuced and the bride a “perfect showered, but con¬ gratulations were bride—or no one had kissed trie groom either 1 Here the curtain as the floor of the parlor did beneath the mass of humanity, but let ue follow them to their chamber whither they go tc prepare for the wedding supper now ready, and aB they return hand in hand, don’t try to imagine the words of the Justice and the thought of the crowd as it dawns upon them that the bride is Lonnie Mercer, a boy!
