Official Organ Os the city of Rome, and Foyd, the “Banner county'* of Georgia. The Evanescent campaign is leading the General from Atlanta to his Waterloo. The bard drinker may think his wife is a lulu but he never asks for some Water—Lu. In the race for life the old Dom inica's toe nail is ever on the scratch. General Evans will be a protec tionist before the campaign closes —he will see the need of it. “Mr. Maddox of Georgia” will have no democratic oposition. Paste that in your hat. Queen Victoria speaks ten dif ferent languages. Beresford only speaks five. “Man proposes but God disposes” —and woman, why bless her sweet loul, she just poses. Let Queen Lil marry Dole — form an Alliance and raise a third party. jac'iav i' Its an “Evanescent boom”—is the way Col. Glesaner of the Griffin News figur?s it out. A Protection that only protects the rich is not a democratic pro taction, Pass the Wilson bill. Mr. Atkinson will never be At lanta’s candidate because Mr, At kinson has a fool idea that Geor gia is biggor than Atlanta. Attorney General Thomas, has ruled that any oue ordering coun terfeit moneys through the mails, is subject to a tine of SSOO. A newspaper man with a wife tau spend his time enjoying the change of the good womans mind —why not? The fellow who erects a costly tomb and counts on it bearing wit ness for him in the next world, aommits a grave error. Bismark’s memoirs are said to be m type, but will not be printed until be is dead —and not all of them then if Emperor Bill may be permitted to clip the tail of them. We are told that a preacher in New Orleans is known by the name of Paradis*-. He is evidently a missionary and is a long way from the city whose name he bears. A Possum Trott woman shoved her busband into a well and then emptied a double barrel sh*t gun into hie spirit as it escaped through the curbing. In Atlanta she would have fired down the well —au At lanta husbands spirit goes the other way. Mr. Atkinson, the unterified democrat, came out in spite of the advict of Atlanta, who lost the soldiers home “poor house;" and Augusta, who bad her “pet son’- defented for th*- Speakership At kinson is out which means that he is in the race and will be the next Governor of Georgia. The Hustler of Rome wants to Bee the legislature put a hill on the statutes, interpreting the mean ing of the word “hard labor ’ in the sentence of convicts We are tierd of seeing theslics profession ai scoundrels couvic e i of their rascalities and then picked up and put into easy places by thelesseei-.

Glenn Ed where did you get that face, And that dress and those black paws? "Me us ookin ap de chimblyjplace . es tor see ole Santy Taws'* I’MILL GLENN BVBI>, Mr. Max Meyerhardt, the leader of the Evans boomers of Rome, says he will make an assault on Mr. Atkinsons record in next Sun days paper. Let’er come Mr. Mey erhardt, your friends will find, af ter you have hit it, that “the blam ed thing was loaded.” * Wouldn’t it be doleful if Queen Lil would sell out her cain mill and give Coi. Side Saddle Lease a quit claim deed to the whole shooting match. Oh, mama! But wouldnt shugarcain seed fly when ’‘Mary Yellin” ordered her new constituators to abandon cotton and go into the raising of hell bus iness. W ow! IT WILL BEGOV. ATKINSON Politics makes strange bed-fel lows, and the force of the remark hits one squarely when you observe the unanmity with which the Con stitution and the Atlanta Journal espouse the same man for office.— Madison Madisonian. And now they refer to it as the Evans avalanche. Correct, it with bring up at tne bottom with the regulation dull thud.—Columbus Ledger. The hysterical advice from the Constitution an! other papers to Hon. W. Y. Atkinson to stay out of the race for governor of Georgia savors of intensly interested eu treaty.— Houston Home Journal The Atlanta papers began to groom their candidate for gover nor almost a yea 1 ' before the nom inating convention. Now they are organizing Atlanta clubs to push the interest of the Atlanta cand - date. What a pity some of this political enterprise had not been manifest* (1 when the Fifth district was threatened with a Third party congressman. But then it was not the Atlanta candidate!—Wa’ton News. STATE POLITICS. The third patty is priming its self for another effort to get a hoi 1 on the offices from governor to bailiff next fall. The slaughter will be great. —Cartensville Courant American. zVll this talk about serious opposi tion to Carter Tate for a second tennis “moonshine.” Carter Tate has so far stood true to (he pledges he made to the people. He has gone dead against the Cleveland gold standard policy and stood up for silver.

Perhaps the eleven great Democrats who framed it knew better what they were doing than you would have if you had had tie job.—Valdorta Times. i When you find a man who befieves in tariff reform, except as] regards a < ertain article, you may set him down as a Democrat who is a Repub lican when he consi lers his own in terests likely to ba affected. Savan nah Press. The duty of the Democrats in con gress is plain as to three important points.

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.
