Arc warned a^inst violating
hte city ordinance regulating
the riding of wheels upon the
side-walks of the city. Tin
ordinance is familiar to al
wheelmen, as it was framed bj
them, and there is no necessity
for disregarding it. It is very
liberal, m fact it is all that tin
wheelmen asked for, and unless
it is properly regarded by wheel
men there is danger of its rep< al
and the substitution of anothei
less favorable to riders. The
subject has been discussed In
the city council and it was de¬
cided to give the riders anothei
chance to “track” the ordnance

The Atlanta Weekly Sin -
telligencer.”
As we stated in a local item last
week, this old paper was presented
to ns by Mr. J. Id. Taylor and we
prize it very highly. It was
published by Jared Irwin Whita¬
ker on Oct. 14th, 18(iS. making it
just 21) years and B months old.
The Intelligencer was issued daily
and weekly and the copy of the
weekly edition before its would
pul to shanm many of the weekly
newspapers of the present day.
It is well printed, brilliantly ed¬
ited and its general niak-up is
fault less.
There is not a dull line in a
single column of the-paper, (7 col¬
umn —1 pages), and barring the
page of legtil advertisements, (the
paper w.'ts the official orgtMi of
Henry, Clayton, DeKalb, Pickens,
Fulton and other counties,) it is
made up of pure reading matter.
Much space is devoted to the
discussion of political matters—
the editorial page especially,
being rife with the subject. At
I lie top of t he lisst column on this
page appears the likenesses ol
Seymour and Blair, candidates
for president and vice-president,
with the (doctors a.s follows: Gen.
Ino. B. Gordon, of Fulton, and
lion. John T. Clark, of Randolph,
for the State at large, and for the
various districts as follows:
1st. John C. Nickels, of Pierce.
2nd. Col. Chas. '1'. Goode, of
Sumpter.
Bril. Raphael J. Moses, of Mus¬
cogee.

In a drenm comes a message from
the City of Rest
To the kind, loving heart, in mother’s
fair breast,
From the soul of an infant which the
Father, in love,
(■ailed from our poor home to His
mansion above.
“.Mother, to-night, as with father and
sisters you stand ,
And think of the dear one so far from
the hand,
I am with you, can see you and can
heal' your kind voice
Giving thanks for your dear ones—
bid them rejoice.
Every day I am with you and follow
at your feet;
Every night J am by you and watch
o’er your sleep;
Every day to the Father I go with
my prayer
To watch o’er and guard you—un¬
loved ones there!
When at last lie shall call you to this
beautiful place,
And again you can see your dead ba¬
by’s face,
O, how gentle and how soft will then
he your caress,
As I nestle again my head on your
breast.” •i. X. It.
You can always depend on
the Weekly to give the news as
