a poet once sang in a ehoir,
Hat folks thought his voice was doir,
They deserted the church—
Left the preacher in the lurch—
XoW the poet sings alone with his loir.
The Evan people harp on state
ment—not one of them has yet ad
wa raced a democratic reason why he
jisould be nominated over the tried
j;jld true hearted Atkinson.
The poet was out singing forritches,
Tober window he was creeping through the
switches,
But tha dsg in the yard
Intercepted the bard—
Now lia needs a new bo-om in his britches.
Now is the lime to elevate Broa.l

Once more Seaborn Wright wants to loom,
He comes iroia the third party’s gloom,
As a democrat true
He will open his bazzoo
And as usual- giabs the tail of a boom.

Heims' a problem: If General
Evans gives a few volunans of
kooks to « library at Rome and is
Awarded one governorship, what
‘ does th® state owe Dr. Batty who
bias donated it a magnificent li
brary? Try it by th® ‘‘rule of

Air. Max Meyerhardt to help you
salve it.
Many an old Veteran, who siice

THE SHABBY GENTEEL-
You may talk of the tariff, what congress
may do,
Be It plan of protection or but for revenue,
You may claim legislation on Silver wa.
wroig—
Drop a na.ional bank note from the tune of
your song,
Yi.umay joke, you may croak—'bout the times
being tight,
Bout the days being gloomy—and what makes
the night,
But the merchant will tell you he fell ’neith
the wheel,
In the hi ;h ways and buy wayaof the shabby
genteel.
Like the Lillies of the valley that spring from
the soil—
Theirs the mission to flourish— recipients ot
toil,
They have • wheels in their heads’' but their
heads never spin,
Aud they boasts of the glorious day* th it “has
been."
Aye the toiler may sow and in season max
reap,
And the shepherd guard the lamb—clip tin
fleece from the sheep,
But the “times will be hard," while the na
ticu’s made to feel,
Os these high ways an 1 buy way* <rf the shab
by genteel.
Like the drones in the hivesjof the toiltug
brown bees,
As they buzz round tue come, sipping honey
at their ease;
Like the gentry of Europe, or lords of the
East,
They would frolick and rest, they would idle
and feast,
Work for them wore disgrace—’twere not hon
est to steal
Bo the Juggernaut Credit sweeps on with i ts
wheel—
But the honest grow aweary and demand a
new deal,
From the high ways and buy ways es the shat _
by genteel.

There are thousands of old Vet
erans in Georgia who made as
good soldier as Genera! Evans,
they are ns able as he, as states
men, and a long ahot better dom
ocrats. And the majority of them
tbok to W. Y. Atkinson ca th“ii
next Governor.
Tom Watson wants ten thousand

says if he can get them he wil !
start a third party daily paper iu At

frozen cash in his grip and about ten
thousand jays will want to knew
where ho is at, shure enough.
It is rumored that Col, Seaborn
Wright, will take the slump for
Evans. Well now that de settle it.
General Evans says he is on the
Chicago Platform, and if we re
member correctly neither Seaborn
Wright “The Tribune of the peo
ple,” or Editor Cooper .of the Tri
bune that the people repudiate,
voted for Judge Maddox, although
he was nominated on the platform
and is on it yet.

Perhaps, oil the state press, there
is not a inora out spoken fearless

Hale is a democrat, of course

his county in the last legislature
He was decidedly popular in that
body of stateanoeu, and among th<-
personals ho has written of hit
associates, we clip the following;
Were we called upon to name
half dozen of the strongest young
men of the House, we could do so
with little hesitation: Warner
Hill, Eugene Battle, Porter King,
Allen, of Upson, Neel, of Floyd
and Bob Hodges.
Neel, of Floyd, by many is con
sidered the peer of any young
man in the state —we hold that he
he has but few superiors, young
or old. He has a strong, well bal
anced brain, a strong character
and a strong, determined leaning
toward all that is boat for his
people.

It now looks as if Evans ava’anch

miserable failure. The people < i

gubernatorial candidate of its own in
