SOME TIME.
BY 12UGKXK FIEI.D.
Last night, my darling, ns you
slept,
I thought I heard you sigh,
And to your little crib I crept
And watched a space thereby;
And then I stooped and kissed
your brow,
For. oh! I love you so 1
You are too young to know it
now,
But some (iino you shall
know.
Some time, when in a darkened
place,
Where others come to weep,
Your eves shall look upon a
face
Calm in eternal sleep;
The voiceless lips, tho wrinkled
br iw,
The patient smile shall show—
You are too young to know it
now,
But some time you shall
know.
Look backward then, into the
years
Aud see me here to-night—
Boa, oh, my darling, how my
tears
Are tailing as I writs—
And feel once more upon your
brow
The kiss of long ago—
You are-too you to know it now,
But 'some time you shall
know.
A FAITHFUL WATCH-DOG
AND THE INCENDIARY.
a Mom:us tAßi.i:.
One .lark night an old and
superauuated watch-dog, who
had been turned out to die, was
sleeping in au empty hogshead
in the alloy back of tho big
store belonging to his master,
when he was awakened by a
suspicious sound Peering cau
tiously out of his retreat, he
saw a man in a black mask
creep stealthily up to the build
ing and begin piling a lot of
inflammable material against
it.
‘•Ah,” said the old watch
dog, ‘‘here i» a fine chance to
return good for evil, and heap
coals of (ire on the head of my
cruel master. Only this morn
ing he kicked me from the
premises which I have guarded
so long, saving, ‘Begone, you
worthless cur!’ and bruised,
humbled, and welltiigh broken
hearts 1, 1 crept in here to res'
and reflect, little thinking that
I would so soon have an oppor
tunity to demonetrate my
worth and earn tho life-long
gratitude of my master by sav
ing his property from tho torch
of an incendiary.”
So saying tlif faithful watch
dog,summoning all his strength,
sprang upon the masked intrud
er and bore him to the ground
just us bo was about to apply
the match. There was u ter
rific struggle, but the mastin'
bravely hung on until a polict
nun reached the spot nnd took
charge of the would-be-inceu
diary.
The next day tho insurance
authorities took tho case in
hand, and in due course of time
the faithful and plucky old
wateb-dog was fitted out with a
good collar, and furnished with
an easy berth and luxurious
quarters in big insurance
building, while the dogV un
grateful muster (for the man
in the black mask was indeed
he) received his just deserts by
being sentenc. d to seven years
at hard labor for attempted
ar»on.

From The hand Of
Gwinnett.
Years ago, when rum shops
were many and “bug juice” was
plentiful, there is said to have
happened in the town of Law
reneevillo this funny little in
cident.
Tho Baptist minister hero
had immersed several candi
dates, and among them was a
man by the name of Daniel
George, who is dead and gone,
but who is remembered by
many of our denizens.
A short time, after his bap
tism he was seen by John Mills,
Esq , father of our townsman,
John M. Mills, coming out of a
barroom. Mr. Mills, who was
a zealous Presbyterian, turned
to him ami said: “Mr. George
I saw you baptized only n' few
days ugo, and I am sorry to see
you coming out of that bar
room.”
“Well,” said George, “I will
go buck theu.”
There was a writ of lunacy
sued out tor a woman in this
county once. It may have been
while Judge Lankin wan the
Ordinary, we don’t remember.
But uuyway the Ordinary in
“xamiuiug oue of tlm witnesses
said: “What is your opinion
ot this woman’s mind.”
Tho witness quickly replied:
“1 think sir, it is in n bad
state of condition."

In these autumn dayH can be
seen white covered wagons from
the mountain counties. Every
'all the mountaineers from Gil
mer, Union, Towns and other
counties, who raise an abund
ant crop of winter apples, come
down aud sell to tho people in
Gwinnett, DeKalh, Newton,
Rockdale, Fulton and on down
into middle Georgia their excel
lent fruit.
The average mountain boosi<r
is generally a good hearted,
gre n sort of a fellow, who
seems to be as honest as the
days are loug.
Quite oft*-u these hoosiers
bring their wives and children
along with them, anil we wen
somewhat amused the other day
us a mountain wagon stopp* d
<m the streets. A plump rosy
checked girl was holding tli»>
team, while her father was try.
ing to sail his apples, and she
seemed to be enjoying hersell
chewing tobacco and “spitting
red.”
political prognosticators
say that there will be a Demo
cratic landslide in the year of
grace 1900. Bo mote it be.
Hard times is the only evi
dence of McKiulev’e return of
prosperity. La*t tall the blat
ant Republican stamp speakers
went all over the country to
bamboozle the people, and they
succeeded in putting in Win. j
McKinley, tho protectionist.
Wo believe wh«u the next elec
tion rolls around there will be n
tidal wave for Democracy.

•
gome foiks iu this grand <dd
commonwealth have nn idea i
that running a newspaper is ns
easy ns falling off of u greasy
1 g backwards. They think its
no trouble for au editor to write
lengthy editorials and gather up
the nows from all ov- r a big
county at the same time. Its
a soft job for the printer who
gets the reading matter in shape
tor a criticising public. They
firmly believe that they could
beat the typo who sits at his
case from Christmas till Christ
mas and works as if his life de
pended upon it.
We would like to glance over
a sheet gotteu up some of these
old blue-nosed growlers, who
think thut a newspaper man
has uuthiug to do but to recline
on hia chair, stuck* bis pipe of
clay aud take life easy.
When you pass by the Her
.tin ollice be sure to stumble
over that mulberry root on the
Pike street sidewalk. Hut don’t
ut r uuy “cute’ - word* for it
might shock the modesty of the
printers.
Wo see "several pedestrians
every day who stein to enjoy
almost breaking their uecks by
their ‘'clod-knockers" coming
tu contact with this root.
Of course you con use your
o vn pleasure about it. but to lie

LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 23rd 1897.
WRITTEN KOR TIIK HERALD.
PROHIBITION
Is perhaps tho most import
ant question t! at confronts the
people of this nineteenth cen
tury, and yet no question is so
much ignored by professed
Christian people. Strong drink
has caused more suffering than
all other evils combined, uml
yet vou will hear people, advo
cating the damnable stuff, and
1 want, to say just here that any
man that will is an enemy to
his country, to civilization, ed
ucation, Christianity and good
morals.
Newman says lie can't master
enough of the English language
to describe those old gospel
slighting, heaven-neglecting.
God-provoking, devil-daring,
hell-deserving, dough-gutted,
red-nosed sots.
The drunkard is a far worse
character than the frantic sui
cide who would take a pistol
and blow out his brains, thus
ridding his family of a pest and
leaving his property foi their
maintenance: whereas the
drunkard, after disgracing his
family with his besotted ex
ample, afflicts them with his
drunken revels, wasting his
j property, breaking the heart of
Ibis precious wife, and hanging
| his poor ragged children ou the
I homes of poverty is in the end
a self murderer; he is the very
' frazzle end of humanity, and
i his debauched caress would dis
grace a wolf-trap if put in it
for bni'.
! But who is responsible for this
state of things? I would say
that the law-makers are greatly
responsible for it, and the vo
ters are responsible for the law
makers, and the devil is respon
sible for tile whole business.
Local option i* only a cow
ardly make-shift, ami yet you
cm hear Gov. Barrel, Judge
Jug, Major Demi john and Col.
; Bottle crying Local Option,’
| when thousands of souls are
l populating the lower regions
I day after day nnd year after
year, and all the while those
I little bottle-ended fellows just
mentioned will screw their eyes
around to the hack side of their
I heads and say ‘Local option is
good ’miff. Why don’t they
try local option on yellow fever
and small pox ? If local option
will remove the whisky tradio
from those large cities it will
certainly ««t a hump on small
pox and yellow fever.
Newman save he is favor of
putting all of the jackasses out
on the faint to raising uickle
oottou, and send men to the
Legislature to make laws.
Why don’t the fire companies
try local* option on burning
buildings if it is such a good
thing ? If It will preserve the
rose on the w ife’s cheeks, if it
will clothe the poor naked chil
dren, if it will feed the hungry
and provide shelter for the
hom less, made so by strong
drink, if it will do this then it
is the great elixir of life, and
will work well any where.
What we need today is direct
legislation on- the dram-shop;
the whole business needs to be
exterminated by (be wholesale,!
but it can never be done by the
method above mentioned. Lo 1
cal option can never accomplish
anything in the large cities, be- j
Cat.su the scum and trash front
dl sections of the country are
dumped there and they out
number the decent people
Newman says there has beau I
ottne of this class dumped in
tho legislative halls, and the!
Monday-on rning cart* should
go round* and haul ’em out of
the city. We can never reform
any State iu the Luiou as hng
as w« have such a mas* of cor
ruption iu au’hority.
1 liuve hoard preachers and
people praying thus: ‘‘Lord,
hasten the time whuu vice, #iu
and immorality shall be swept
from the face of sh« earth,”
and then go to the polls on
i lection da\ and vote for th>-
devil just because Ira party
nominated the old mau.
What we need is to place
principle fur st ove party, and
cast our votes for pure, good
m u, regardless of w hat party
U' urinated then*. Christ said
a go»d ties will bring forth
god fruit, a.so a corrupt tree
evil fruit. lie also said ‘‘by
their fruits ye shall knbw them.
Do men gather grapes of thorn*
i or figs of thistles ?”
Make the fountain pure and
the stream will hr pure. Vote
j&■ ycu pray, and by so doing
i vou will remove those chuckle
headed, mu filed jawed, beer
guzzlers troiu ullice, aud place
: pure, good men iu their stead.

! “HOME, SWEET HOME.”
j Km roit Coxstiti tion: Notic
' ing in several papers an extract
I from ymir paper, mentioning
'the arrest of the author of
“Home, Sweet Home,” in Ten*
1 1 lessee, and “his song being sung
in public for the first time,”
J what this writer lias to say in
I connection was notorious at the
time.
In the year 1 880 or 1880 the
Cherukees were still lingering
in Georgia, unwilling to leave
for tile west, and there were
white men among them, said to
be missionaries, inciting then:
to opposition, so tlmt the state
had placed guards in that sec
tion to prevent the entrance of
strangers
It was then that John How
ard I’ayne, passing through on
his way to Tennessee, was ar
rested by the guards, carried b*
Milledgeville and of course at
once cleared. It was so soon
after that the Indians in both
states departed, it is m*t likely
that he found his way into
Tennessee later or tried to. Rut
one incident mentioned by him
at tile time and published in
the paper is that one night the
guard- were carousing and one
of them sang “Home. .Sweat
Home." lie told them lu* was
the author, and they told him
“ho lied.” In fact, the song
was more familiar then perhaps
than now.
On the same occasion, how
ever. he was heartily greeted by
an old man, who upon hearing
his name came in to express his
pleasure at meeting him, say
ing: “I road your book I
• ike it.” Rut the I (Col; was

WHERE MEN KISS MEN.
The Arabians shake hands six
or eight I inies. Once is not
enough. If, however, they hr
p rsoiis of distinction, they em
brace and kiss one another sev
eral time*. In Turkey the
salute is to place the hand upon
the breast and bow, wbieli is
both graceful and appropnati.
In Kurmah, a man
meets a woman, he puts his
nose and mouth close to her
cheek and draws a long breath,
as if inhaling a delicious per
fume. He does not kiss her
cheek, strange to say. A man
is greeted exactly in the same
way.
In the greater part erf Ger
many it is considered an act of
politeness, not of gallantry, for
a man to kiss a woman’s hand.
In Italy that privilege is allow
ed only to near relatives, while
in Russia it is extended to kiss
ing the forehead.
'The men of Continental
Europe have a custom thut
would seem queer, not to sav
laughable, here. They gri*«t
one another with a kiss, if they
he friends, not on the cheek,
but right on the lips.

would ride to Tewkesbury,
