I HUMOROUS. Now is the season dear girls, when you should attend to your soles. Let them be thick. A Burlington girl says there is no truth in the saying, “Like father like son.” She says she likes the son first rate, but she can't b^ar the father. —Tid-Bits: Summer boarder:—“You have a remarkable fine lot of chick ens, I see.” Farmer—“Yes, and, Mr. Spinx, you may not believe it, but those chickens seldom die. Why, whenever we want one to eat we gen erally have to go out and kill it.” Chicago Rambler: Mrs. Montague. —Why, Mary Ann, what is your rea- son for leaving us so suddenly? Don’t you like the place?” Mary Ann—Yis, mum, the place is very well, an’ ye do yer best; but yer rlresses is a miserable fit for me, an’ so Oi jist made up me mind to lave this day. —Modern Novel: She used to meet him at the gate with a kiss and a smile, like morning light; but now she eomesto the door in a dingy old cali co rapper and shoes down at the heel, shades her eyes with her hand, and, with a voice that seems to need oil ing, inquires: “Did you bring that butter.” What he Saw in Charleston. Chicago News: “Good morning, Mr. Dobbins; I suppose I may rely on you to support me at the polls?” “For what?” “Why, I’m a candidate for a seat in Congress.” “Then I’ll support you, sir. What we want is more men in the seats of Congress and fewer on the floor.” ^-Chicago Tribune: Arinand—“Come, fly with me, 1 implore you!” Camille— “Never, sir; you insult me!” Armand— ■“What you will not go!” Camille—“I will resist you with all the strength of my woman’s nature. If you would tear me from this place you must first drug me and render me unconscious. You will find a battle of chloroform on the bureau over there.” Boston Courier: First Literarian— Ah, Jones, how do you do? Very busy at present? Second Literarian—Very busy, in deed. First L.—Story writing or dramatic work? Second L. -Neither; I’m translating Browning. First L.—Indeed? IntoGerman? Second L.—No, into English. Harper’s Bazarr: “What a very pretty girl your friend is Miss Con- stantina!” said Dumley. “Such bright eyes and clear complexion one seldom sees. Hasn't she Irish blood in her veins?” '“Oh, yes,” Miss Constantina re plied; “she is a true daughter of Erin Go Bragh.” “Well, all I have to say is,” added Dumley, who greatly admires a pret ty girl, “Mr. and Mrs. Go Bragh ought to be proud of her.'’ —“Mister, could you give a fellew a little help? I ain’t had good sleep for three days, and ain't eat nothing since yesterday morning.” The men dicant had on his most woe-begone look, but the odor of his breath was extremely suspicious. The gen tlemen responded. “Look here, my man, if I were to give you anickie, would you buy bread with'it or would you spend it for whis ky. “Well I wouldn't spend it for whis ky; yon can bet your last red on that.” “How am I to know that?” persis ted the gentleman. “Say, mister, I may be thought an ornary and all that, but there is one thing! ain’t got to yet, and that’s drinkin’ five cent whisky.” His honest pride was rewarded by a fifteen-cent donation. From the Chicago Herald. “I was down in South Carolina du ring all of the earthquake troubles,” said a commercial traveler, “and I never again want to be a witness of such scenes as I saw there. I’ll not attempt to describe the incidents to you—they have already been suffi teiently touched upon in the daily pa pers. But there is one little phase of the thing which the newspapers have not even mentioned. You know bus iness was suspended in Charleston All of the stores excepting grocery and provision stores were closed. The banks were not open. The theaters closed their doors. Even the newspa pers suspended publication for an issue or two. But the day after the first terrible quake I happened out by the baseball grounds, and I’ll be durn- ed if there wasn’t two clubs in there a playing, and quite a crowd sitting on the benches cheering the players, looked through a crack in the fence, and just then another shock came The umpire motioned to the players to go right along, but the pitcher, who was then in the box, asked to have the game called a few minutes, be cause the home plate was wobbling so he couldn’t put the ball in straight. The umpire acceded to this reasona ble request, and after a delay of ten minutes I heard the umpire call out, ‘play ball—batter up!’ Then I felt sat isfied that baseball is the one Ameri can institution which even an earth quake can’t knock out.” PLANTATION SUPPLIES —AND— •Agricultural Implements'. SAM HILL. The Slayer of John P. Simmons wants a Pardon. Sam Hill, the slayer of John P. Sim mons has been heard from. It will be remembered that Hill shot and killed Simmons in the barroom of the National hotel in 1878. He was tried and convicted, and was sentenc ed to the penitentiary for life. Before he could be sent to the penitentiary his lawyers succeeded in proving him insane, and he was placed in the luna tic asylum at Milledgeville. There he was given a good deal of liberty, and one day be walked away and remained away until this day From time to time various persons claimed to have met him in first one city and then an other. It was even said that he had been seen in Atlanta. These persons may have been correct in their state ments, but Hill was never molested. Yesterday Governor Gordon receiv ed a long letter from Hill dated at Kansas City, Mo. Hill reviews his case and begs for clemency. The letter was taken under consideration by the governor, but he gave no inti mation of his intentions in the mat- ter. It is not known what Hill is doing in Kansas City, nor is anything known of his mental condition, when he was in the asylum, Dr. Powell, the superintendent” regarded him as an almost hopeless monomaniac.-Atlanta Constitution. have a full stock c of- Groceries and Provisions, Bagging and Ties, And am prepared to meet the demands of all who may favor me with their patronage for Plantation Supplies of all kinds, at prices that cannot be excelled in this section.

Her ring, once a honered citizen of Atlan ta. Mr. Herring was one of the mer chant princes of the South. He got his start where Capt. John Keely is now. He then went to Augusta, where he amassed considerable wealth. From there he went to New York city, and at the time of his death lie was a partner in a large firm in Augusta, Philadelphia and Liver pool. Mr. Herring had only been back from Europe a few weeks w*hen he died. He took an active interest in and contributed largely with his pen to the discussion of the Free Trade question; and his articles w*ere pub lished here, in Boston and New York City, and widely read. He was a strong democrat, and of his own means contributed very liberally to Cleveland's election. "Mr. Herring was the brother of Mrs. R. C. Leyden and Mrs. E. A. Angier, who reside here. The remains will doubtless be brought to Atlanta for interment, as Mr. Herring’s mother and father are interred in the Oakland cemetery.— Atlanta Journal, 24th.

We copy the following from the Evening News of the 19th. Such was Mr. Authur’s course, mainly, as Presi dent that we felt constrained at times to compliment his fairness as our chief Executive: Speaking of the death of ex-Presi dent Arthur, the Charleston News and Courier of this morning says that Mr. Arthur had been in bad health for some sime, so that, his death was not altogether unexpected. The lux urious manner in which he lived at the White House affected him serious ly, and the self denial which be finally practiced came too late to save him. In a public, sense, Mr. Arthur was both fortunate and respectable. But as a makeweight on the Republican ticket in 1880, he drew the capital prize in the lottery of assassination and by his conservatism and good MAKES Child-Birth Easy! The time has come when the terri ble agony of this critical period in wo man’s life can be avoided. A distin guished physician, who spent 44 years in this branch of practice, left to child-bearing woman this legacy, The Mother's Friend, and to-day there are thousands of women who, having used this remedy before confinement, rise up and call his name blessed.

To the harmonies of decoration, as of dress, he gave his per sonal attention, and with excellent re sults.
