Won’t we have political fun next
year?
Atlanta is now wet by a large
majority—1,122.
Will it be easier to get whisky in
Atlanta now than before?
Now that Atlanta has gone wet <
what efTect will it have on the pro¬
hibition cause throughout the
entire country?
It is not every time the case that
the man who yells the loudest for
liberty and personal rights enjoys
these high prerogatives to the full¬
est extent.
Henry W. Grady of the Consti¬
tution is receiving the praise, but
Captain Evan Ilowell did the work.
Howell, so to speak, is bigger than
Grady, the Constitution and the
temperance orators combined. So
it
Cleveland will no doubt be re¬
nominated, and will doubtless be
opposed by either Jimmie Blaine
oi Johnnie Sherman. Either c.f
these self boasted patriots know
how to wave the bloody shirt and
deceive the nogio.
The election in Hancock county
Friday resulted in the success of
the wet ticket by about 250 majori¬
ty. The antis carried the Sparta
precinct by about 450 majority.
The vote was large, ami is a fair
test of the relative strength of the
two factions.
It seems to be the general im¬
pression throughout the country,
says the Savannah News, that the
first national Thanksgiving day
proclamation was issued by Presi¬
dent Lincoln, but this is not the
case. Lincoln merely revived the
custom established by President
Georgo Washington Jan. 1, 1795,
when he issued his first Thanksgiv¬
ing day proclamation from Phila¬
delphia, His example was not fol¬
lowed by his successors, however,
and at times several states observ¬
ed the day, there was no general
observance until the administration
of President Lincoln,
There is a little negro in Macon
named Berry Bowden, age 12 years,
who has a most remarkable mouth.
When fully opened the distance
from the corner of the mouth to
the lobe of his ear is less than half
an inch. He puts his fist in his
mouth with ease and can hold two
eggs in the mouth with out any dif¬
ficulty. In addition to the great ca¬
pacity, he can turn his under lip
wrong side outward, this gives him
an awful appearance. lie seems
to pride himself on the size of his
mouth, and never tires of showing
what he can do with it, Thursday
he put a toy rubber balloon in his
it and intlated the balloon to its
fullest extent.
Taliaferro county voted in favor
of liquor last Monday by a majori¬
ty of 107. It seems that the pro
hibitionistg are inactive if not dis¬
pirited. Simply because Fulton
county saw proper to adopt meth¬
ods adverse to prohibition is no
reason—at least is no good reason—
why the temperance people
throughout the country should
sulk, pine or be dismayed. Rather
the reverse. The prohibitionists,
should be active, faithful, true, but
not fanatical or tyrannical. The
worse enemy to any cause is a mis¬
guided or over zealous friend.
Though, after all, it does strike one
as a little peculiar that people of
equal education and soberness
should differ so widely on the ques¬
tion of prohibition. Howevei, this
is a land ot the tree and home of
the brave, as many delight to sins
and long may it a land of peace,
sobriety and virtue.
