COULDN’T UNDERSTAND!
IT.
Once upon a time there was
an island in the Pacific Ocean
inhabited by a people that had
no acquaintance with matters
outside their own domain. On
a certain day there was a ter
rific storm at sea, and among
the things thrown upon thej
shore was a ladder.
The islanders, when they saw
the ladder, marveled much as to
what it was and for what pur
pose created.
Some thought one thing and
some another. Finally there
were but two opinions, and be
hind one ranged half of the peo
ple, the other half being behind
the other opinion.
One party held that the rungs
of the ladder were intended to
hold the sides together, while
the other party as stoutly main
tained that their purpose was
to keep the sides apart.
However the people might
agree or differ as to what the
ladder was intended for, upon
the rung question they stood
unalterably divided, one side
bolding to the keop-apurt theo
ry while the other side would
cling to the the >ry of hold to-
ll an islander set the ladder
upon its side and proceeded to
prove, at least to his own satis
faction, that it was the section
of a fence, (although he would
not go so far as to explain w hat
kind of an animal it was that
was so large that it could not
get through the palings and yet
so sluggish that it could not
top so low a wall,) it was oply
a moment that he received at
tention; for it was only a ques
tion of time how soon the old
contention would assert itself,
and the people begin again the
old quest ion as to the object for
which the rungs were created
and put m place.
The same result was sure to
follow when some other theorist
placed the ladder flat on the
ground and sought to .show that
it was a skeleton of a raft, or
possibly a well ventilated pal
anquin. The keep-npart and
hold together controversy was
sure to rekindle.
There is no knowing how long
this condition of things might
have gone on had net a sailor
from some far off country been
washed ashore.
Ho was shown the ladder and
asked in signs what it was used
for,
He replied by standing it
against a tree and mounting to
the latter’s branches.
The islanders weie astonished
hut their minds, as usual, re
verted to tho old puzzle—were
the rungs designed to hold the
sides togethor or to keep them
apart ?
The sailor explained that
both parties were equally in the
wr<-ug; the rungs were neither
to keep the sides apart or to
hold them together.

Why is it that some of the

don’t go to the relief of the

We think the incorporate
limits of Lawrenceville should
be extended a quarter of a mile
further each way. Let’s get
ready for the growth that’s
coming. What eav the people?
‘‘Rambler,” in theGwiNNKTT
Herald, must have struck ‘‘free
lunch” down at Norcross last
week.—Buford Plow Boy.
You may call it lunch if you
want to, but they fed us so

The consolidation of elections
would be a deathblow to the
candidates who run every day
and never thank God for Sun
days.—Constitution.
Yes, and it would also be a
deathblow to the ward-heeler
who is employed twelve mouths
in the year to “leg” at the
polls. Let ’er pass!
There is one sensible man at
least in the Georgia Legislature.
His name is Cole, and he rep
resents the people of Carroll
county. He has introduced
two bills, namely—one to make
it unlawful to play foot-ball in
Georgia, and the other to pro
hibit the sale of cigarettes in
the State. About the only peo
ple that will tight these hills
will be the doctors and the un
dertakers.
Rev. W. M. Winn, who was
reared in the old empire of
Gwinnett, was here last week
visiting his numerous relatives
and friends, who are always
glad to see him. In speaking
of this county he said : “Gwiu
nett’s finances are most admir
ably managed; why, in Merri
wether county we have to pay
one dollar and forty cents tax
on the hundred dollars, and in
your county it is only seventy
six cents, and I believe it never
went over a dollar when you
were building your court house
and jail.”
Thk Rambler lu-pes that the
people of Bay Creek will make
genial Tom Laugley Justice of
the peace. He is an old school
toacher, and would fill the
office acceptably. Tom “ain’t
hankerin’ ” after the place, but
if they put him in he will serve,
and if he don't make a good
one you cun use my ears for a
heel tap. That good old Dem
ocratic district, the home of a
thrifty and prosperous people,
has had for a number of years
magistrates that reflect credit
upon themselves, and nutably
among that number were Maj.
J. T. McElvany, lCsqrs. Jacobs
and Williams, and a host of
others who served before my
acquaintance with the courts.
And now cornea the tug of
war —we mean the apprimohing
election for Bailiffs and Justice
of the Peaco. The most active
candidates for Justice of the
Poaos at present are Esq. Lang
ley and Col. Briant, and they
w ill make things lively. There
will probably he others iu the
field. But when it comes to
Bailiff the field is full of them.
We would like to suggest that
all the candidates come togetli
<t between now and the election
und lay their claims before the
people. lam suro it would be
quite interesting, and they
would get a crowd to hear them
Let it be announced!
There are many things that
take place and then pass away
|to be forgotten without a sec
ond thought. Last Monday
night when the people genera I ! "
were anxiously awaiting to get
some news from the North
Georgia Conference, and t .
learn if possible who had been
sent to serve the people here, a
bogus’telegram was received )>,;
Mr. G. A. Almarnl stating that
Rev. J. E. England had been
sent to Conyers. The news
went over town in a hurry, and
many expressions of regret wen
heard on every hand. But their
hearts were made lighter tin
next morning when it was
learned that the telegram came
by “grape-vine.” “A little
fun now and then is relished bv
the wisest men,” or words to
that effect.
The following story reaches
the Rambler’s ears and it will
make interesting reading for a
number of Lawrenceville young
people. There is a young gal
lant in our city—and he is very
popular with the fair sex too —
Imt strange to say lie can't
stund cats, he would as soon
adopt a snake as a pet as l.e
would nurse a cat for amuse
ment. His aversion to this ] ar
ticular kind of species was com
municated to the young ladies
of the town, and in order to
perpetrate a cruel joke upon
this handsome young blood n
sociable was arranged for bis
special benifit. Several couples
Imd gathered and were pleasant
ly chatting when a kitten made
its appaarace on the scene and
one of the party picked it up
and began to stroke its soft hair
affectionately continuing until
this young fellow in qi.cstun
observed what was going or.
“Horror of horrors,” In- ex
claimed, “put that thing down,
but nobody heard what h-- ni
and the little kitten continue
to be affectionately caress d
Auotlier member of tb- pirt;
proposed that tho pet b<- band
ed around and t lie next person
took it. The hero of this story
blushed —for he is a timi
youth—and drew back f« r In
time was next.. “Shall I ap
pear foolish”, he thought, “or
shall I summons all tny c- ur.ige
and play my part with good
face—no, I had rather put un
hand into a furnace, still my
matrimonial prospects are at
stake, I shall be forever doomed
if the young ladies of Lawrence
ville find out I am afraid o'
cats.” But his time had come,
and with a courage that seemed
greater tliau his own he reached
forward and took the hieky p t
and began to caress it as ten
derly as a woman. And one <
the number exclaimed. “Tin-
Rambler, the Rambler, look out
next week!” It’s not neeossa
ry to add that our young friend
has made a covenant with tin
cat generation and will hence
forth be on the best of terms
with tl.es- inoffensive lit
tle aniiim's.

We find the following article
in the Southern Real Estate
and Financial Journal which
will be interesting to many • I
our readers:
This little city, on the Soul I -
ern road, is one but litth
known, except to tho leather,
collar trade, but to them it is
web known as the place wlieiw
the lnigent collar manufactory
of the world, is located. There
is one very Urge collar work-,
and another, that of It, H. Al
len, which manufactures both
collars and harness. This fac
tory has been established f-.r
about twenty-four ybar*; em
ploys 150 hands und use- in the
vicinity of one thousand hides
per week. All grades of both
collars ai d harness are made,
from the cheapest to the liest.
and Mr, Aden has the reputa
tion of making extiam-ly low
prices to his customers
It is more the newer than tl e
older institution that 1 went to
see, and leaving Mr. Allen’s
place, I sought out that of J.
F. Espy & Co., one which hi »
been hut recently established,
but one which will undoubtedly
in the future take high rank i .
the business world. The firm
is composed of Mr. J. F Espy
and Mr. VV E. Vance. Mr. Es
py is known as u successful bus
mess man and planter, wfii’e
Mr. Var.ce has been for year*
connected with the practical
workings of h harms* fu-lory
Hi lias bee > through up th'-de
partments and for tjie past
three or four years las been u
traveling salesman for a burnt s<
flrui, and has made many
friends und built up a reputa
tion for probity und reliability
which will stan t him iu good
stead, now that he has einbaik-
-
I «ki upon the business hor as cap-
I tain of- his own ship. They
have put in flu- latest and best
machines and employed the best
workmen they could obtain. At
present all the work is done in
a building at their tannery noarj
the town, but soon Mr. Espy
Espy expects to erect a hand
some two story brick in tin
town, adjoining the railroad, |
where he has an excellent loca- !
♦ ion. Then the harnsss depart
ment will be removed there, but
tne collar makinif will remain
where it is. They have ample
excellent spring water to
supply their tannery, even
when it Hliall greatly increase,
a id they have already planned
tor the addition of a large num
ber of vats. Mr. Espy owns a
large track of land where the
tannery is situated and also the
springs where the stream heads,
thus being sure at all times of
sufficient room and sufficient
water. W hen I visited the fac
tory I found Mr. Vance m
charge, who told urn that Mr.
Espy was on his plantation sow
ing rye. We walked out togeth- j
er and found him busily engag
ed in sowing the seed of what
wits destined to be, not only for)
grain, but for the straw which :
was to furnish material forstuf- |
ling the collars which they
manufactured. Thus, tanning
their own leaf ner. upon their
own land, superintending the
work themselves, and even rais
ing the straw with which the
coMara are filled, they can but
succeed.
The Bank of Buford, of which
Mr. William is president, and
L. P. I’atillo, cashier, occupies
a neat and substantia! building
with handsome stone front,
which it owns. It has a capi
tal of $21,000, with a surplus
of $2,500. Its business has
great ly increased since its open
ing having now double tho
amount of repositors and depos
its that it did a short time ago.
The Merchants’ Hotel is the
hoste|rie of Buford, and is kept

FARMER BROWN AND JUS
TICE.
Gocal farmer Brown in years
long past,
Hi* lot beside a stream had
cast,
And much good cash had he
luid down
By sellingchickens in the town;
Prime, plump and tender were
they all,
And brought him prices never
small.
But sad to tell, there sometimes
came
Wild floods that well deserved
the nume;
They carried off full many a
COOJ),
And thus curtailed his chicken
soup.
For many years he bore this
well,
Until at last worse luck befell,
So wild and high the waters
ran,
He found himself a chickless
man.
Angry at this was Brown in
deed ,
And sought a lawyer with all
speed.
“I want to sue the state,” said
In-.
Then danced the lawyer’s eyes
with glee,
And, writing down the f arnier’s
name.
He said, “Well, sir, let’s hear
your claim.”
With burning cheeks the furm
er told
His losses from the waters cold.
Concluding, with nn angry
brow,
“ Justice is what I’m ufter now.”
‘.Justice!” the lawyer said iu
scorn,
“She died my friend, ere you
were born,
You say the water took your
chicks;
Well, rivers often play those
tricks.”
“But come,’’continued farm
er Brown,
And deeper grew his wrathful
frown.
“You must, I sny, a way pro
vide
That 1 may be indemnified;
Somebody, now, I’m bound to
sue,
To get again what is my due’”
The lawyer smiled, and said,
“Oh well,
Put up a fifty uud I 'll tell
How you ttiis t rouble may elude
And circumvent those waters
rude.”
The good man paid tho filly
down,
For fair and square was farmer
Brown.
Then said the lawyer, with a
smite,
‘‘My rule beats Justice by a
mile. ”
And, with a wink that rivalled
I‘uck’s
Ho softly said, “My friend,
raise duck*!”
