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.

LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, TULSDAY, DECEMBER Bth 1896. Locally Interesting. What Others Say And Do. SOME THINGS COMPILED FOR THE PUBLIC. OUR CURIOSITY SHOP. OTHER THINGS OF INTEREST TO LOCAL READERS. Why is it that some of the heroes of the “'\ayero«s war” don’t go to the relief of the Cubans? They would drive Weyler from the field in con fusion on the first round. * * # 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 high that we had a night-mare every night for a week. * a * 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 by .Mr. L. I. Perry, formerly of Law renceville. The Rambler. 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*!” —Selected. A lovely display of white silks and satins, suitatle for bridal gowns, is attracting the attention of the summer girl whose campaign lias heeq crowned with success.
