Msny After Vacant Office.
Special to The Georgian.
Albany, Go., Dec. it.—The race for
the unexplred term of tax receiver of
Dougherty county, made vacant by the
death of 8. \V. Gunnison, Is waxing
warm. During the past week there
have been five to make announcement
and It Is stated that there will be oth
ers.
i gnve nil klnda of'artist* n frlrndly
reception; but Clrctia Grlankowaky
waa their apeclsl favorite. Money, however,
waa alwaya scarce/ In IN>l*t»muokel, nud
there waa. of course, no riding nmdeiny
which might have I icon rented by the two
nnd four-leg nrtlata; no, therefore, the mull*
Htnnll wonder, therefore, that under tbeae
rlreumatnncea It wns uor possible to get
higher jprleoii Gian 75 pennies for the nrat
arrived loaded with debts, moat of which
«*»n!d he attributed to the everlasting ne
cessity he felt to quench a Are in hit atom*
aeh with cheap brnndy, and hit noble team
of two white stallions, tiealdea a anlendld
nnpetlte. It finally enme to a financial crash.
Proprietor Grlsakowaky waa ruuntng nil
over roltctuuckcl offering hit property as
security to hla creditors. The owner of
the livery stable got na security the two
white horses, which he had fed for the
Inat two weeks at hla own expense; the
butcher. In whoae house Grlsakowaky nnd
hla wife hnd stayed, received the trained
pig, and the flying dog was given to a book-
bluder who was In love with n female artist
nud who from purely unselfish Interest In
art had lent the proprietor s eot.pl* of ten
mark bills. Outside the train, which waa
to carry off their beloved master, stood the
two-legged artists and demanded each a
small amount of money to enable them to
live until Ids return; but iho manager
calmly told them that with their tnlents
they ought to be able to make a living
for theuiaelvea, and mngnanlmously said
that he should not consider It a breach of
contract If they occasionally, during hla ab
sence, tried to make an extra penny by
flre-entlng or rope-dancing. Aftor wishing
them this last kind consideration ha gave
them his blessing, expressed his hopo that
God would help them nnd left.
It went better thnn anybody bad ex
pected. The "strong Indy' who used to
break Iron rods nud lift heavy anvils waa
given a Job aa uinnseuse to the mayor’s
wife. The mnn who used to swallow Are
and awrorda was picked up by the grocer,
who attracted customers by having him
consuming hla unusual victuals In hla store
window. If a drummer came to Poise*
mnckcl, whnt was more natural than that
he should Invite bis customers to the Inn of
the Golden Men and while they ant there
drinking nnd smoking a ballad dnneer came
through the room nud waa Invited to take
supper, the drummer never suspecting that
she hnd n secret agreement wHh the land
lord to iiftmioie tar MtSv of wine. The
bookbinder ne?er left hla house unaccom
panied by the flylug dog, who never tired
of performing hit tricks Jumping through
Imaginary hoops all nlong the street.
The village constable went to the butcher
and Informed him that It waa against the
Inw to keep hogs Inside the village limits.
•Thia nnlmnl, which so resembles a com
mon swine. Is nevertheless no swine, but a
great artist with n beautiful voice and con
siderable more common sense thnn most
tenors,” replied the butcher, nnd opened
the door nnd got the pig to come out nnd
perform Its best tricks for the constable.
!tcshle* this, be invited the village consta
ble t6 partake of n men! prepared from the
ment of nu ordinary pig, whereupon thta
representative of lnw nnd order Immediately
declared that It wns only by a cruel mis-
tnko of nature that thla four-legged artlat
waa condemned to grunt and It wns other
wise by no menus related to the pig family.
The judge of polsemucket received n visit
nnd of course the two white stnlllons he
had In pawn wore sent.
•‘Oh," exclaimed the Judge's motbor-ln-
lnw, "whnt beautiful homes; It will Indeed
he n pleasure to ride behind such a spirited
team.
The driver cracked his whip, the elrcus
horses ran with the swiftness of antelopes
nud everything went splendidly until they

the horses began to run around In a circle:
nnd this wns not all. They dnneed and

legs. upsetting the sleigh nnd throwing I. *
three persons lu It—Judge, mother-in-law
nnd driver—Into the frozen anow. The Judge
was on his feet Immediately and offered his
humble apologies to the angry lady, who,
however, until her dying day never censed
to suspect that this had lieen an attempt
on the part of her son-in-law to gut her out
of thla world.
The ladles of I’olsemuckel nre tnnyhe n
little more bashful than their sisters In
larger communities, tiut otherwise they nre
In no way different. One evening after
they hnd been sitting In the shsuty ap
plauding the bare-hnek rider of Circus Grit-
nkowsky, the most forward of them hnd
even thrown-flowers at him. Thinking that
he must l>e Just as gifted ns his two nnd
four-legged colleagues, they had been Ihtro-
duced to' him by their brothers, and hnd
naked him If he dbl not know tow to jug

on he Juggled In high society of Poise*
niuckel, and absolutely became more popu*
lar than hit brother, the sword-swallower.
Hut one evening he took It into his mind

"Oh. I thought that ns long as you belong

Toward the end of March Proprietor Gris*
nkowsky wrote that It hnd been impossible
for him to raise any money, but that If
his creditors would cancel their claims he
would try to come back to Polsemuckel nnd
take his beloved circus out of pawn.
