He fig ins fair and square enough, and he fights hard to win! If he loses, or even seems temporarily io lose, he doesn’t “holler.” That is a quallD of statesmanship much admired in Georgia, especially among the new spa per men Maybe It is because the good tighter makes for good "copy" on the disk, and maybe it is because all the world loves a good fighter, even as it loves a lover Whatever may be the bbr cause behind the many causes <.f Bridges Smith's popularity in tie Stale, certainly his perfect willing ness to give and take Is one thing that has made him many friends!

In the current issue "f his sprightly weekly he says: "<>n Saturday Ight a party took ad\ fitage of the darkness and rain and threw- brickbat against one i f our offb e doors where we sleep, after we had retired, breaking the lock, the bat passing on nto the back room, when* it struck the wall and fell ti the floor. Why was this done? Simjly because during our I wo years as Mayor of Dahlonegif we have been end- ivoring to hew to the line re gardless of where the chips flew. In accordance with the oath we took. Of course, we have no nositive evi dence against the fellow just now, and will give anyone $f,0 with suffi cient proof to convict, and in tho meantime have arranged to mirk this party or any one else, should j they try such a thin' again, and maybe any expense or trouble of an investigation.
