One who professes to know it all,
predicts that Cleveland and Lamonl
will be a law firm in New York city,
but others who know the President
very well indeed, believe that he will
not return to the practice of the law
or to any other active persuits.
His only business, they think, will
be to derive by careful investments
a living income from his capital.

The $5,000 appropriated by the
last Legislature to repair the North
Georgia Agricultural College at
Pahlonega, has been well expended
and the building is now in an en¬
tirely more habitable shape.
Two graduates of Mercer Univer¬
sity are members elect of the next

Jacksonville, now that her ter¬
rible scourge is about over, is taking
steps to prevent its recurrence.
The city is to be thoroughly e’eaned
and every possible means of
thorough sanitation will be adopted.
With proper precautions, there is
no reason why Jacksonville should
ever have yellow fever again.
‘‘Every day in the week,” says
the Constitution, “and ou nearly
every street in the city, there can
be found young boys loafing and
idling, smoking cigarettes and in
tome cases, drinking whisky. The
police record tells a ve-y dismal
story with respect to these idle boys,
and every mark that is made on
these records ought to be a warning
to parents that it is the first step
to the penitentiary or to the gal¬
lows.”
The effort to pass a resolution
through the Georgia legislature to
request the repeal of the internal
revenue law seems tc be bossed by
Ur. Duggar of Fannin. The doc¬
tor is one of the three or four repub¬
licans in the legislature, and it is
eminently proper that he should
lead this movement. To repeal the
internal revenue and to keep up the
taxes on the necessaries of life is
the ideal republican doctrine.
The goddess of liberty after her

the admiration of all, and for ages
to come she will be looked up to

f-'om $3,000 to $5,000 has met -the

hope their judgment on this mat¬

Tucker’s Truths
The following article from the
Christian index is worthy a careful
reading, and will be the more high
ly appreciated by several readings :
“Success is universally an object
of desire, and all our ene.gies are
called upon to secure the best out¬
come for our plans. If we succeed
ive are joyful and confident- Tf we
fail, we are sad and depressed.
But is it not possible that both are
necessary to the formation of well
rounded and strong character?
May it not be that some failures
are a blessing, and teach lessons of
exceeding value? If success were
to attend all our endeavors, the re¬
suit might,in the end, prove very
disastrous, since we would be over¬
confident and estimate our abiii.y
far beyond its actual value, No
strong character has ever been
formed, except by overcoming ob¬
stacles and failures. The son of a
rich man is ordinarily wanting both
in brain and brawn while a poor
aoun try lad hews his own way to
success through many failures and
losses. Some victories which have
greatly elated the victors have done
much harm, since they have made
them vain and rash, and thus laid
the foundation for crushing defeats
in the end.
The “Conservative ticket” in At
lanta headed by Hon. John T.
Glenn for mayor, was successful
throughout Mr. Glenn is very
popular as well as brainy.
Gen. Harrison is credited with
the remark to a visitor : “The hard
est part of the fight has just begun,
and it is in our own party.” We
think that he takes a correct view
0 fthe situation.
Nobody will be likely to charge
that the President’s latest message
was written v for him. It evidently
is his own production, just as his
other messages were.

A New Condition
A good joke is ahvay in season.
The Messrs. Cain of this place are
brothers to Mr. D. T. Cain of Law
renceville. The Herald of that
place says
“A gentleman came in town last
week and wanting to find Mr D.
T. Cain’s residence, inquired of an
old darkey, weft known around
the court house: ‘ Say. uncle, can
you tell me where Mr. Cain live#?”
‘‘Mr. Cain? Yes sal), boss,” and
taking him down to the South-east
corner of the court house square,
and pointing down the street in
thc*direction of Mr. Cain’s said:
“You jest go down dis street ’till
you comes to a w’ite house wid a
new condition on it, and dats wlur
he lives.” Mr. Cain has just made
a new addition to his dwelling.

The Philadelphia Record says
“the spectacle of two dogs and a
man on horseback chasing a rabbit”
is not inspiring: and the Record is
right. The rabbit is not given a
fair chance for his life when the
dogs a re saved from fatigue by hav¬
ing hor?es to ride.
A newspaper has a compositor
who is a treasure, “They would
strain at a gnat and swallowa cam¬
el” was the expression he had to
set a clay or two ago, and this iff
the way he set it: “They would
strain at a goat and swallow a
canal.”
Mr. N. M. Almand has purchased

Sbeaker Carlisle said in an inter¬
view in Kentucky, just before he
left for Washington : “So fur as the
Democrats nrs concerned we shall
adhere to the principles of the Mills
bill. We are committed to this,
both in our action in Congress and
in the Presidential contest through
which We have just passed. We
shall not pass the Senate tariff bill
as it stands. If the Senate sends
the House a bill that embraces the
principles of the bill wc passed last
summer the House, I think, will
pass it. We will surrender no prin¬
ciples,”

In Fulton county nearly all of
the candidates for county offices
will go into a primary election,
which is set down for Dec. 13.
This was deemed advisable owing
to the army of candidates in the
field for the office of coroner of
Fulton county, There are fourteen
candidates now out shelling the
woods for votes. Thirteen of them
are white and one colored. J. C.
Harris in, one of the number, has
already announced that he will not
go into ihe primary, and as the col¬
ored candidate will also ran on the
outside, it is reasonable to suppose
that on the day of the election there
will be three candidates in the field
—the nominee, the independent and
the republican candidates. This
contest will, therefore, be an inter¬
esting one, both in the primary and
at the ballot-box wlien the final
contest takes place.
