(ell 11 MJlto L VOL. Y. Aiibil Humber Issued To-Day, - 6,800 Actual Number Issued to Subscribers, 6,328 Limited by Capacity of Press. Anyone having an item of personal mention or news happening, will confer a favor by handing it te one of Tmb Capitol staff, each of whom wears a silver sac simile of the above signet* Second Edition. The amusement afforded by the Metropolitan line at Grant’s Park every Friday is worthy of liberal patronage. It is a grand stroke of en terprise. Prof. Lion says that the elegant suit pre sented by the great dry goods dealer, John Keely, is one of the prettiest fitting athletic suits he ever saw. Mb. R. C. Black, the new hut enterprising and leading shoe dealer, has presented Prof. Leon with a pair of shoes, which he will wear on the rope next Friday. The Commissioner of Public Works has sup plied the chain gang in charge of Capt. Mills, with blue shirts, which will give them a change of,garments every week, and keep them in a more healthy condition. Evbvy dollar invested in permanent improve ments is that much on interest. —News and Ad vertiser. Yes, and every dollar invested in manufactur ing improvements is that much on compound interest. Accidents. A new feature perhaps in accident insurance in the South is the recent arrangement of a solid company of London, England, with W. W. Haskell, of this city, so that policies can be is sued at a small cost per day and running only during the time that one wishes. For instance, if you are going to New York or anywhere on a trip you pay a small amount per day and in case of accident get, if hurt, $lO or sls weekly, or if killed $2,000 or $3,000. Insurance is a grand thing. It enables a man to provide during a pleasant day for the trials of a rainy day. This feature of temporary insurance is a good one {and no doubt will take well with our people. Special Nat ice. The Uniform Committee of the Atlanta Artil lery Company, composed of the following gen tlemen: Messrs. W. C. Phelps, A. L. Branham, F. L. Haralson, M. B. Torbett, M. T. LaHatte, and J. N. Courtney, are requested to meet at the State Librarian’s office in the State Capitol next Tuesday night, August 24th, at 8 p.m. sharp, as business of importance will be trans acted. W. C. Phelps, Chairman. No Last Year’s Bird’s Nest in Ours- Sworn certificates are always in order, and The Capitol cheerfully comes up and swears to facts as to circulation and not what was done a year ago, what might be now and what ought to be, etc. We know that we have 1,500 subscribers more than any other evening paper in the city, and our present number is only limited by the present capacity of our press. This matter will be remedied as soon as our press ordered is completed and put up. I Meantime The Capitol goes booming along, thankful to its patrons for their liberal and gen erous patronage. SWORN STATEMENT. I hereby swear that The Evening Capitol has a subscription list of 5,328 regular subscrib ers, and that from 100 to 2,000 copies extra are issued each day to accommodate sales over the counter. Chas. S. Atwood, President and General Manager. Sworn and subscribed to before me this 2nd day of July, 1886. John J. Woodside, Notary Public Fulton Co., Ga. Customer (to bartender) —“My physician tells me that I must drink nothing but a little ?;in with plenty of milk. Have you got any resh, pure milk?’’ Bartender —“Sorry, sir, but we haven’t a drop.” Customer (in a disappointed tone) —“Is that so? Well, gimme some gin. I must do the best I can.” —New York Sun. Dropped. Dead. This morning a white man named Martin, dropped dead in the public road near the expo sition mills. The Coroner will hold au inquest. CARTERSVILLE COUKANT. We have located the meanest man. Stinginess is the card that he plays most. He is worth several thousand, and when he can’t borrow a Courant from some one, he steps around to tbe office and begs one. If by perchance this being should reach the "pearly gates in the next world and a small admittance fee is asked to enter, we venture that he will step around to shed's printing office and beg a free pass. The eminent writers, Vox Populi and Pro Bono Publico, will soon bow to large and appreciative audiences. They are always on hand when they have friends running for office. The late lynching in Macon of a white man shows to the negro that white men will be punished for heinous crimes just as quick as negroes, who are, in nearly every instance strung up instanter.
