Spring Gleaning. This is the time of year when buildings, yards and, ga rdens are submitted to a. thorough overhaul ing; and when Nature and man alike are absorbed in a great, uni versal h ouse-cleaning. It is important that oleanTiness should evist everywhere at this season of the year, and blessed are the women with dustpans and brooms and men with the rakes and whitewash brush; but doubly important is the house-cleaning of-the mind, and thrice blessed are the men and women who take the time to overhaul their mental and spiritual premises.-Ex. collation, was served after which.

Good Roads In Georgia. In improving its highways the state of Georgia now leads the rest of the, South. Nearly 2,000 miles of graded roads have been built in the state in the last ten years and under a law passed in 1891 the various counties now raise $400,000 annually for road making and mending. The state law permits the em ployment of chain gangs of mis demeanors ; convicts are quartered in movable camps and during the winter in country barracks which Have all the conveniences of a well reg tula ted prison. The only persons in the state who object to this method of im proving the highways are the con victs and their opinion does not count.—New York San. in His Family With V ESTILL IN. LUMPKIN Col. J. H. Estill, South Geor gia’s candidate for Governor,, was in the city Tuesday enroute from Dahlonega, Lumpkin county, where he made his first set speech of the campaign at the noon re cess of court Tuesday. Col. Es- till met with a cordial reception at Dahlonega, and his friends there say he will surely carry Lumpkin county. Col. Estill expressed himself to a representative ot this paper as being confident of winning the nomination, and it certainly does look like he will be Georgia’s next Governor. He does not ex pect to go to the convention with less than seventy counties, in which event he will be nominated as sure as the convention meets. In explaining why he made a set Bpeech, Col. Estill said in opening his address at Dahlonega: “I had decided not to make speeches in my campaign for the gubernatorial nomination, because I am not an orator, and have had no experience in making public addresses, but some of my friends think that I would . be able to reach more of my fellow citizens if I would make brief speeches at the yariouB places I visit.” Continuing, Col Estill took up the different issues of the cam paign—taxes, prohibition, schools, If you keep a “weak fish” long enough it will be a strong one. When a motion is made, in a lodge the password is' “Carried.” If a poem makes a “go’ 1 of it, is that the poetry of motion? When the old maid “turns an other corner” she rather hopes to run into a man. The successful magician attracts a crowd by the magic of his name. Not even the girl of the period knows when to put a stop to a flirtation. It isn’t pride makes him his head hold so high, For he’s not at all rich nor a scholar; Nor yet is he handsome talented-no, But he has on a choker collar. Estill Is Confident. * Colonel J. H. Estill of Savan nah, the south Georgia candidate for governor, was in the city yes* terday. Colonel Estill came up to spend the day with the Georgia traveling men, among whom he has a large number of friends, and to call on others here who are in terested in his race. Yesterday morning Colonel Es till called on Governor Candler and several other friends at the capital. He had quite a chat with Govornor Candler and, as he arose to depart he said: “Well, governor, I expect to succeed yon in this chair.” “And I shall be very glad to have the pleasure of escorting you to it,” was Gcvorner Candler’s reply. “If I didn’t think I would suc- ced you,” Colonel Estill said as he left the office, “I would quit the race.” * ‘Every where I go, ’ * he remarked to a representative of The Consti tution CONGRESSMAN WILLIAM F.
