CAN WE FORGET?
Manila we will not P rget.
Nor the gallant < vnnnnnlore,
Who steered his fleet in fashion neat.
And spilled the Spanish gore.
We’ll not forget the sturdy hoy
Who made the brilliant fight. the
Who sent the shells and raised
From yells that
tiie Spanish throats
night.
We'll not forget the man who took
His ships and life in hand
And crossed the main to do up Spain
Anti did it well and grand.
We may forget the martyred Maine,
The bloody Spaniards too,
Rut you can bet we’ll not forget
George Dewey and his crew.

Locusts in Georgia.
The predictions of the a gri
|cultural department at Wash
ington that the
f° CUfS * i would appear this year in
Georgia has proved true, and
large swarms of them have ap
peared in the counties of Dade.
E&tershaa, Hall aa4 Eubura
A few have been seen in Elbert
and Paulding.
This information comes from
the agricultural department at
Washinnton to Entomologist W.
M. Scott of Georgia, Mr. Scott
said:
i i Tiie cicada though popular
called locust, like those that ues
troy crops. The true locust be¬
longs to tlie grasshopper family
and is close of kin to the
ing mentis.
“The cicada, which is
called a locust, does not
to that family, but is a
cousin to the July fly. It does
little damage-’’
The seventeen year locust, as
it is called, is said to appear
every seventeen years in the
north and every thir¬
teen at the south- Thirteen
years ago the eggs of the seven¬
teen-year locust were placed at
die roots of trees in the Macon
park by professor J. F. Willett,
to see if they would produce the
cicad i in thirteen years in this
climate.
Mr. Scott examined the trees
recently, but found no sign of
the cicada.— Ex.
B >b Berner Gets There.
On last Thursday Gov. W. Y.
Atkinson appointed Hon. R. L.
Berner Lieut-Colone! of the
Third Georgia Volunteers.
There were a good many appli¬
cations for that position, among
them being Col. R. LL Thoma¬
son, of this city, but the gover¬
nor overlooked them ali and ap¬
pointed Col. Bob, who was not
an applicant at all.
The Advertiser was in hopes
that Col Thomason could have
secured the commission, for he
certainly deserved it, and was
by far better fitted for its duties
than any of the other applicants
Bob Berner excepted. But
it seems that the governor of
Georgia who is somewhat noted
for the surprises he springs on |
the people, has deemed other
wise.

Subsequently tbe gov ei nor of
fered Col. lhomason one of the
majorships of the regiment, but
the Colonel declined the honor

Here is the truth to

courage to stay at home than

if duty would permit him to

compelled by the most solemn
and binding obligations to stay
at home. It is not a manly, a
wise, or a heroic thing for a cit¬
