' If you see the flicker of a lamp through

It is only your printer at work while you
sleep and your crops are growing.

John S. “wrote her a poem,
Rhythmic and sweet,
And laid it, tremblingly,
Down at her feet.
It made her so happy
bhe did not knew
Just what to do, and
She told him so.
Then he broke it to her gently,
That he would be delighted
If she’d lend him half a dollar
To have it copyrighted.”
Guess who bought a beautiful little
lamb (not Mary’s) a few days ago, and
for what purpose?
I had rather rub my hand over the
back of a gentle bull than to grip the
hand of a fool.
Professor Short and Charlie Weaver
has a lot of good rope for sale at a bar¬
gain; but just where they got it is a mys¬
tery.
In every family’s closet there is a skele¬
ton, so we have heard, and sometimes
ours cuts such antics that we are afraid
our neighbors will hear it.
Our editor says he will give $100,000
for a good spring poem, as he has not
read one yet. We have plenty of spring
ticks, mosquitoes, etc., thank you.
“Mama, teacher told us to say a text

Richardson actually embaced the photo
of a beautiful young lady “on the eve”

The greatest drawback to doing away
with the switch in our schools is that pad¬
dles do not grow on trees, and shingles
are too costly for the teachers to always
keep a bucli on hand.
An exchange says newspaper men are
warned against a new $100 bill which
has recently made its appearance, and is
said to be so clever that it recently passed
through the Treasury several times be¬
fore it was detected. Our editor says he
nev er handles such small change, conse¬
quently is not the least bit worried.
ff yon don’t believe that Hub Davis
is getting ready for Superior Court and
all other kindjof courting, just|notice the
job Richardson, the tonsorial artist, put
up for him. Some people believe in
fighting the devil with fire.
Where is Heaven?” excitedly inquires
a South Georgia editor. What do you
want to know that for? South Georgia
had better read up on sheol.—Ex. Yes,
and some of our North Georgia editors
had better attend night school and read
up on the Keely cure if the wish to keep
out of the asylum.
The editor of one of our neighboring
exchanges picked up one of his metripoli-
tau exchanges (for which he is running
a double coluin add free) and read:“ The
charming soubrette, Evea Hollis Whop¬
per, has just purchased a new bull dog.”

The cake walk at the handsomely ap¬
pointed residence of Mr. and Mrs. Bill
Wallace (col.), corner of Cotton Patch
street and Cornfield avenue, Saturday
night, was not the howling success antic¬
ipated. At an early stage of the game
one of the young aud highly colored
gentlemen guest, with a confused idea of
the rules of the contest, walked off with
the cake under the left wing of his duster.
