The Sea throbs like an opal puls¬ ing with light. Pale clouds flock the fa int green skj% sighs Life, and aloDg the| shores the wastes aie afire with the hearts of daisy wheels. “I love you and I do not lovs you. It is hard to forgive!” he says moodily. “It is for you to decide,” she rep¬ lies lightly, shaking the sand from the folds of her gown. She rises, and they saunter on together, yet apart. “If you cannot be faithful to me now—how can yon then?” and the roan's vexed eyes studied the sensi¬ tive face half hidden beneath its scarlet gauze hat aDd blazing pop¬ pies. “There need pe no ‘then’—if you lik e,” the scarlet pouted lips make answer. “You would break our engage¬ ment?” “Perhaps, It was a small crime for you to makesogreat a fuss about. You leave me for a week—I meet a companionable man in the interval —we grow a trifle chummy—” A trifle chummy! he groans. “Well, to chummy', if you like, W e walk, we drive we swim together. He vow. Finally we part. His vacation is over. We have a beauti¬ ful scene—worthy of Balzac. He begs a lock of hair. He wishes to enshrine my memory. I have not the slightest objection. Snip. It is his. He disappears, mumbling and kissing it. You retnrn. I tell you all. You rage and spoil a beautiful morning. ” “You have destroyed my confiden¬ ce in you?” he mutters. She tips her big bat slightly and turveys him cautionsly from beneath its flapping brim. She is fair to look upon and she knows it. “I will not tell him—next time,” she whis¬ pers to herself. “I loved your subtle nature, I loved your very perverseness, I loved your very name,” he resumes. “I shall probably continue to love you— some; but .never again as before. Yon have deceived me! A lock of your hair—to that cad! The very thought is madness! He possesses a part of you —tine woman I am to call my wite.” “Why, no he dosn’t it!” “You yourself said!” “Said what?” “That yon gave him a lock of your hair—that day upon the sands— these sands.” . , “You mistook me; I said a lock of hair.” ■ < l Wby play with words.” “But, love, look in my eyes. It was only a lock of my switch.” “ADgel! So you are not false!” “Of course not—only my hair” And the great sea loses its color, foe sky waxes dim, awhile it takes the whole long shore to hold such rapture. Mrs. Mary Hale, who lives about one mile this side of Salem, died sud¬ denly at the campground Thurday night. She was tenting and had just returned to the tent from the night service and was sitting down talking when she expired The cause was supposed to have been heart disease. Her remains will be buried today at Shiloh. “Kansas alliance gone to pie¬ ces” is the news about every three days. Kansas, however, has 200,000 more alliancernen than she did one year ago. How is that for going to pieces. WHERE HE WAS FIRST SEEN. The coroner was satisfied that some one was to blame. It might be the railrord company, it might be the engineer; it might be the conduc tor; it might be the dead man. That was what the coroner proposed to find out, and being fully impressed w^th the gravity of the occasion he rose from his seat, struck an easy attitude with one hand resting on the table; and loosing at the engin¬ eer over the top of his glasses said with some seventy “You were running pretty fast? The engineer it> the witness chair didn’t seem to be at aH disturbed. He crossed his legs, leaned back in the chair and answered carelessly: “We were making pretty fair time. “Running faster than usual! “Some. We were behind time. “Making fifty miles an hour. The engineer was cautious. He the speed was limited when running through certain towns on road. “We 1 ! I wasn’t keeping the time, he said. “Was the bell ringing and the whistle sounding?” “I suppose so. That was the fire¬ man’s business. “Didn’t you hea r it? “Oh, I wasn’t listening. The coroiuer let that pass and squared himself for a last attack. ‘’Did you see the man! he asked, shooting a finger out in the dSection of the engineer. The engineer looked at the finger a moment curiously and then blandly asked: 7 “What man? “The dead man, sir, the dead man Don’t trifle.” “Ob, yes, I saw him. Now, sir, be careful what you say. Take plenty of time to think. The coroiuer was most impressive. “When and where did you first see him! The engineer puHed bis mustache thoughtfully for a moment. “ You want me to be exact? he ask ed. “I do. “It’s pretty hard to estimate dis-> tance you know. “Of course; but a great deal de¬ pends on it in this case. Do the best you can. The engineer pulled his mustache a little more. Then he said; “I won‘t be sure as to a foot one way or other, but my best estimate would be that when I first saw him he was four and a half feet above the smoke¬ stack. “ The Macon Fair and Exposition Company has received subscriptions to the amount of $6000. An ad¬ ditional amount of $4000 is need ed. A London authority estimates for Bradstreet’s the European wheat shortage at between 281,000,000 and 320,000,000 bushels. The wheat surplus in the United States and Canada will probably reach 225,000, 000 bushels, and Europe will pay a good price for it. Old Hutch smilingly admits that there is a good deal of truth in the claim that his mind is not so clear as it might be, and cites as a proof the fact that he only made a million and a halfout of the wheat deal, when he ought to have come out with five millions. Senator and Mrs. Gordon left Monday for New York. His “health is not sufficient yet to tackle the alliance elephant. THE CONFEDERATE HOME. The sober judgement of the peop'e of Georgia will settle down to the conviction that the defeat of the bill to accept i be Confederate Horae as a State institution.was the best dis¬ position that could be made of that question. No one doubts that the movement to establish this charitv had a noble purpose, and the liberal ity of those who contributed to the purchaseofthe beautiful groundsand the erection of a handsome and com modions building, is worthy of all commendation, but so far as the Georgir veteran is concerned it has all along been urged, and it must be admitted now that the movement was a mistake, The Georgia veteran however lacking in means he may be loves nis own home, however humble that may be, and loves the compan ionship of his neighbors. We have never believed, and do not now, that any considerable number would be willing to become a charge on the State, and quarter themselves in a public charity institution. And who shall say that it is not an hon orabie pride becoming the men who fought our battles in the purest and most fearless patriotism, shirking no danger, and baiting at no sacrifice? These are not the men to ask, or ac¬ cept, public charity. The State must discharge her dnty to her old soldiers by such li beral pensions as her purse will war rant. The pension is not a charity, but a debt owed the brave and faith lul soldier by the State. Aa he grows older, and less able to care for himself, the debt grows larger. Let Georgia see to it now and hereafter, that she discharges this debt honest ly, as well as gratefully, as it matures each year, according to her Ability to pay. The acceptance of the Confederate Home under the terms proposed, might or might not have proved a a good investment, for the State, as to dollars and cents, but surely that question was not one at all worthy of consideration—Columbus En quirer Sun SNEAKING MEAN. Mr. Editor: I want to say a few words in refference to this dog poisn* ing businesss. I had the misfortune of losing a good and obedient dog the other day, and one that was never known tp. prowl around and molest nobody. The poisr-ng of him came veiy near proving serious to an entire farady of people. The madeious and cowardly scamp scattered the poisned beef so promiscuously over the yard that the chickens got hold of it and I was just in the act of killing one to eat when all of a sudden it began to flounce and flutter as if having fits aud soon died. This was caused from the eating of the poisned beef. Half of the dogs that are poisned is not done from a fear of hydropho¬ bia, but with an intent to gratify that mean and cowP v cHy want to do some one a personal injuiy. No one but the most infamous character would be guilty of poisn ; ng a dog in such a maimer. Near ly eveiy case of hydro¬ phobia that you hear of oiigiuat.es from the poisning of dogs by thEse vile aud dirty scoundrels There is no punishment to severe for they that are gu’Uy of snefd' : ng abound and poisirng dogs ; n peoples,s yards. J. IV. W. It seems to be the opinion of the lawyers that Ryan’s propo¬ sition to settle at thirty cents in the dollar will finally be taken bv his creditors. In this event Ryan wid soon be doing ness at the old stand. P RIVILE GES TO per Year, $1.00 Work. A loafer! The very worst name that can be applied to a young man. And it is the most inexcusable thing in the world, too. You must work in this weld if you expect to keep up with the procession. Whether you handle a pick or boe, clerk or book-keeper, farm or merchan¬ dise, digging ditches or editing a pa per, and so on into every vocation of life, you must work. Look around you aud you will see what has been accomplished by those who have worked and are still work-, ing. You will find that the men who are best able to live the rest of their lives without work are the ones who have worked the hardest. Don’t be afaaid of killing yourself with work. It is beyond your power to do that. Men cannot work so hard aa that on the sunny side of thirty. They die sometime, but it’s because they quit work at 6 p. m. and , don't go home until 2 a. m. It’s the inter¬ val that kills. Work gives an appe¬ tite for meals; it lends solidity to your slumbers; it gives the appreciation of a holiday. There are youug men that do not . work, but the world is not proud of them. It does not even know their names; it simply speake of them as old So and So’s boys. Nobody likes them; nobody hates them; the great, busy world doesn’t eveB know that they are here. So find out what to be and do, take off your coat and make a dust in the world. The busier you are the less deviltry you will be apt to get into, the sweeter ' il! be your sleep, the brighter and happier your holidays and the better satisfied will the world be with you.—Fort Valley Enterprise. The Columbus Enquirer Sun is at it agara. It says: “The Atlanta coirespondents of some of the North¬ ern papers seem to be in some igno¬ rance of the attitude of Senator Gor don towa v ds the A bianco, and the reports sent out by them last week about the demand made on the Sena¬ tor for bis views on the Ocala plat¬ form were misleading. These repoits seek to convey the impression that he shirked the issue, and was afraid to speak out to the Alliance on the sub. jectof the Oca la platform. The facts do not sustain these reports.General Gordon has never been in the habit of shirking. At a recent most critical period ’o bis political career, unsolici¬ ted, he gave the Alliance a free and frank, and fell expression of bis views on the Abiauoe demands, when he knew that tf, would bring down on him a great dee! of bitter opposition. He fought our, bis caud'daey for the United States Senate on that 1: ne and won a great Victory.'’ The Eoqivrei Sun knows veiy well that Gordon be¬ longs to the eUianee and being a mem ber of that organization the conven¬ tion [had a light to know where he stood on the demands. Gordon waspn the convention when the resolution was passed and he d>d sir * k his plain duty when he rememed sfiieni when he wrs asked to speak.
