Editor Hanlon, always hap py and gay, sings in this cheerful way: Spring time or fall time, ’til all the same to us; for what Old Master sends us we never raise a fuss. In sunshine or shadow we try to be content—there’s nothing comes to anyone but whatHe surely sent. We often grumble if it does not rain for a few weeks. We do not know what a drouth is. The London Express gives a pitiable picture of the effects of drouth on the wool trade in Australia. It says 50.000. 000 sheep have perished, and that the great six years’drouth has not been broken’ Take care of the forests! Out of a single tree in Dyer county, Tennessee, it is re¬ ported, ‘‘Ed. Johnson got four cords of firewood, three gal¬ lons of honey and five rac¬ coons.” It is an old saw that one.cannot get all the coons up one tree, but this cimes about as near it as any report that has come in , says the Columbus Enquirer Sun • - 4 - They fire fill There Take a walk through the cemetery and you will pasfi the last resting place of th > man who blew into the muz zle of f if load¬ a gun to see was ed. A little further down the slope is the crank who turn¬ ed to see how close he could pass in front of a moving train In strolling about you see the mo lost monument of the hir ud girl who tried to start the fire with kerosene, and a grass covered knoll that cov¬ ers the boy that put a corn cob under the mule’s tail. The tall shalt over tho man who blew out the gas casts a .shadow across the boy who tried to jump a moving train. Side by side, the ethereal creature who always had her corset laced to the last hole, i nd the intelligent idiot who lode a bicycle nitie miles in ten minutes, sleep on undis¬ turbed. At repose is thedoctor who t ook a dose 0 / his own medi¬ cine. There, with the top of a shoe box driven over hte head, is the rich old man \vh > Hurried a young wife. Away < • ve. there, reposes the boy who fished on Sunday, and the woman who kept strych¬ nin^ with powders in t he cup¬ board. The man who stood i i f ont of the mowing ma¬ chine to oil the cycle is quiet now, and rests by t he side of the careless brakeman who fed himself to a seventy-ton engine; and over in the cor¬ ner of the fonc ) in the potter’s field may be seen the bleach¬ ing hones of the man who t'itbl to whip the odiU>V.--Ex. o J'jl.

D, Hammock went over t"; Athens last week to attend the Annual Convention of commissioners. He says the meeting was a profitable one indeed. Every one present seemed to have a deep interest in the educational work of the state and such meetings come only re¬ sults in the improvement of the public schools. The convention meets next year at Augusta. The meeting at the Methodist church closed Sunday night with thirty addition* to the church. Quite a number of teacheis tne county are attend¬ tho State Normal School at Among whom are Mies Wardlaw ,Mise Iwah Smith, Mr. J C Cooly, Mies Leona Free¬ man and Mies Hattie Lou Me an¬ te]. The county Institute for Teach¬ ers will bo held at Conyers during the last week of June. It is hop¬ ed that every teacher will be pres¬ ent and do all they can to improve themselves and other*. Vrof. Hammock will be assisted by Prof O.T. Clotfelter, of Marietta, and others The examination of teacher’s li¬ cense will beheld on the first day of June. Mr. T. D. O’Kelley left yester¬ day for Little Rock Ark , where ho goe* as a commissioner to the General Assembly of the Southern Presbyterian church which con¬ venes there on Thursday. This is the highest court of the Presby¬ terian church and is composed of two representatives, one Minister and one Elder, from'such Presby¬ tery, or four representatives from each Prosl)yte’'y that lias more than 25 ministers. Actors who wear stove¬ pipes hats ought to be able to draw well. Some men act like dogs ; and there are others who do not need to act. The little green apple is always ripe enough for mis¬ chief. A word to the wicked is sufficient—if you call him a liar, The wag of a yellow dog’s tail is better than the shake a false friend’s hand. 60 YEARS’ EXPERIENCE i mm tfe cf i.km '■> *' 7TJ m Tuaue PT.vrr;s3 Designs Copyrights &c.

A MAN AND HIS VIOLETS. The Story of the Vlvoelon* Maid Who KeeetveU the flowers. “Yes, it was a lovely bunch of vio¬ lets." sigfied the girl who received them, "but I wish they had never eomc to me. You see, it was this way: The man who sent them is one of those aw¬ fully uice fellows who bore you to death—the kind you feel so glad to see talking to some one else, don’t you know," : ’:<> ended appealingly. “Yes: I've seen the type,” sympathet¬ ically replied her auditor. “Well, on my birthday he sent that lovely bunch of violets—perfect beau¬ ties tlfey were—with a dear little note to the effect that he had to go out of town, but would be represented by these little purple clad messengers, so like my eyes and whose fragrance al¬ ways reminded him of me, I thought the note rather nice,” she concluded pensively, “and put the flowers iu the parlor on the center table, writing back that 1 had done so. Why iu the world was 1 so prompt?” she wailed. “It was no more than polite.” “Oh, much more! My dear, it is al¬ ways idiotic to go into details like that. Well, he did not go out of town, but was ‘fortunately’ detained and came around after all to tell me so. And those wretched violets’’— “Surely they were all right?” “I had loaned (hem to Anule to wear to the Blanks’ dinner. Of course I find to tell him that the heat of the room was too, great, and 1 had put them iu the icebox. Just as he going ami i was congratulating myself on m.v escape iu sailed that girl, violets and all! If he had gone, as lie said he would, it .would have been all light.
