ALGER’S FIRST WAR RECORD
In S'ptember, 1861, —Colonel'
Algor and his regiment were in the I
Shenandoah valley, taking part in.'
Sheridan's great campaign against
Jubal Early. About the first of the
monthColouel Alger inplied for ten
day’s leave of absence.
The application was disapproved
and returned by his division com
mander. Gen. Wesley Merritt, be
cause of the active operations then
in progress, Upon the re urn of his
application fur leave disapproved.
Colonel Alger left his regiment
and went to Washington wi hjut
leave. There he procured a detail
on court marcial duty in that city.
This fact was reported to Gpu .
Merritt, who reported it in turn to
Gen. Sheridan, who brought the
matter to the attention of the war
department, recommending that
Colonel Alger be dishonorably dis
charged for being absent without
leave. In conquenceof that recom
mendation from Philip Sheridan.
Colonel Russell A. Alger was diss
charged from the service on Sept.
20, 1864.
The incident terminated his
military career. After the war was
ever he procured in some way the
brevet of brgadier general and ma
jor general of volunteers. —New
Y’ork Sun.”
An exchange says :
“When a woman tells her
oldest daughter to mind the
baby and the oldest daughter
goes oil and leaves the work to a
younger sister, who tells a
younger brother he mutt do it,
who finally goes oil and leaves
the baby with a dog. who is to
blame that the baby isn’t cared
for?”
Several able contemporaries
have tackled the question with
the result that so far the concen
sus of opinion puts the blame
on the dog.
Thinking of the immense
multitudes who are Hocking to
haar Sam Jones leads us to ob
serve that Sam Jones is a won
derful man whatever the secret
of his power. He has lost jione
of his magnetism over the. peo
ple of his own town and sur
rounding country—the place
where he himself was drunkest,
lowest and most reckless before
he embraced religion.
The Bibb county tax rate has
been fixed at sl4 on SI,OOO. This,
when added to the city tax rate
of $12.50 mak?s a total tax of
$26.50 on each SI,OOO worth of
property in Macon. The citizens
of Rome pay only $22 50 for
state and county and for city
tax. Rome and old Floyd are
alright.
Information reaches Rome
that the Dwight Cotton Mills at
Alabama City between Gads
den and Attalla on the R. & D.
R. R. will double its plant. This
same manner of report is out
about the Massachusetts mills at
Bindale, but it’s rather late in
the season for such extensive
building operations to begin.
Major Joe Blance and Robert
Dougherty, two former leading

advice.—Buchanan B a n ne r

If the Peace Conference is pro

Say, Aguinaldo,
You little measly
Malay moke,
What’s the matter with you’
Don’t you know enough
To know
That when you don’t see
Freedom,
Inalienable rights,
Th® American Eagle,
Ihe Foifrth of July,
The Star Spangled Banner,
And the Palladium of your lib
erties,
All you’ve got to do is to ask for
them?
Are you a natural born chump
Or did you catch it from the
Spaniards?
You ain’t bigger
Than a piece of soap
After a day’s washing,
But, by gravy, you
Seem to think
You’ve a bigger man
Than Uncle Sam.
You ought to be shrink,
Young fellow’;
And if you do I’t
Demalayize yourself
At an early date,
And catch on
To your golden glorious oppor
tunities,
Somethihg’s going to happen to
you
Like a Himalaya
Sitting down kerswot
On a gnat.
If you ain’t
A yellow dog
You’ll take in your sign
And scatter
Some Red, White and Blue
Disinfectant
Over yourself.
What yoy need, Aggie,
Is cizilizing.
And goldarn
Your yaller percoon skin,
We’ll civilize you
Dead or alive.
You’d better
Fall into the
Procession of progress
And go marching on to glory,
Before you fall
Into a hole in the ground,
Understand?
That’s us—

yet: “The editor of this paper

that he is running it, if there is
anyone who has anything to say
about its appearance, quality,
editor, or anything else pertaining
to it, let him with the backbone
of a man call on us about it.”
