He’s a pt; tty boy of half past two,
With his roguish eyes ot brown
And bis cheeks il ie roses kissed with dew
And bis spirits never down
lie’s a handsome boy ot stalwart mold,
And a mind of older years,
With a heart as good as Georgia gold,
And a s»ul that has no fears
And he slides the balusturs by himself,
And alone he scales the strair
Or he lays his plans to reach the shelf
By the scalelng sf a chair
With his big brown eyes and pretty tresses,
An<l a tongue just mads to chatter,
With his chubby arms and sweet caresses,
And with feet just made to patter
He Is here and yonder all day long
Into mi chief eternally,
He is kissed for light —is kisseed for wrong
For he lacks six months of three
But to-day is his very blackest day,
Aye! the "greatest day he’s known
For he made a sneak and got away
Ere his mama knew he’d flown
when she feund him in the dining room
There was soot on rug and chair,
And her pretty boy st >od there In "gloom"
with the soot strewn everywhere
Oh ! Glenn Ed where did you get that face,
And that dress and those black paws?

The Atlanta papers began to

NATIONAL POLITICS,
Democrats should pull together
If the Wilson bill is not exactly as

it knew better what they were doing

in tariff reform, except as] regards a

nah Press.
The duty of the Democrats in con
gress is plain as to three important
points. First, the revision'of the tariff
to a strictly revenue basis; second,
the repeal of the 10 per cent tax on
state banks of issue; third, the pas

PURELY POLITICAL
Tin* Madison Madisonian wants
to keep General Hvans in the
“Lord's Vineyard” so as to make
Atkinson Governor. Georgia is
the ‘‘Lord’s Vineyard,” and we
want a man like Evan’s to do ‘he
pruning —Brunswick Advertiser.
George Washington was a good
1i * tie boy, but Georgia was not
used to a hatchett and the cherry
tree «a* sacraficed. The people
dont want to turn your unskilled
laborer alooFe in the said “vine
yard” with the pruning knife —
not this year.
'The Rome Tribune says that
General Evans is the choice of
the people of Floyd county for
governor, over Atkinson fully
Sjven to one. That is about the
way it ia m Spaulding county,—
Griffin Call.
Yes, and then the politicians
who support General Evans be
come so very uneasy that they set
to work at •nee, and in all secrecy,
carry “lists” in their pockets and
by stealth, labor, unceasingly to
organize au “Evans Club” The
Evans people iu Floyd know they
cant carry the county and their
only hope is to begin now to
“dub” into line every man they
can. If Spaulding is no surer
for General Evans than Floyd,
then in both counties his name is
mud. It the Atlanta papers want
to quote the real sentiment of the
people let them cop}' his üboto
graph.
