S £ 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 friends of Hon. L. L.

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.
