J, McCaffrey Augusta w ints a park for her dears, Gum has away of flying in the 4eeth of a school girl’s Jaw, The Corbett-Mitchell mill may or it may not be run by hand power Every now and occasionally the grippe makes good man out of sime old sinner, A croaker never learns to vork a pianno—He is not in touch with the bright keys. ■ ■ ■———j. Grover should fire Bissell. He is not the right kin lof a democrat for his day and generation. North G iorgia farmers owe less now than at this season of the yea r since the war. Il' you don’t want to miss a thing why keep your eye peeled and catch it as it passes. The percapita has got s > low in Georgia that wn»n money talks no contusion is caused by an echo. Its when the father draws the cord that the sou objects to tight rope performances. The croaker toils not, neithsr doer be spin, but the croaker is no lillj of the valely—he is a “pi; in oak.” A croaker Lever learns t > work a piano—he is not in touch with the bright keys. A good newspaper is like a hand some woman; let the waist be prop erly stayed and the figure thats in it will keep the bust dis —played. A Society thief is called a Klep tomaniac. Peril ips the dude who com in’ts bigamy would be called a Wifomaniac. From Piue Ridge Agency in Ne braska conies the report that In liana are “dring like sheep.” dhe Grippe is getting in its work. Chopping stove wood is chipper work, all the same if we were to offer a reward, it would be for the man and not the the axe he “hy pothecated" from u«. The editor of the Lovejoy Picay une says the country press is unan imous for Evar s. It is r niarkabte how long the line of some notable characters extend. Now you take Annamas —he lived hundreds and hundreds of years ago.—Hales Weekly. This mornings Tribune publish ed “the inside story” about the receivership of the Electric Street Car line. The Hustler of Rome published that same story two weeks ago. The “old sister” should take down her stockings, Christ mas is over and Santa Claus is *n Joying-a much needed rest. JI St THE SIZE OF IT. Yes at first they thought she'de looms, For the light was fneamleseent, But today they sit in gloom, For the “boom" was "Kvanesrt nt.” And their nopes are in the flume V ith their Ardour all a shiver, And they h ar the crack of doom, M title they padd'e. up “Salt river." And the wool bat bojs are gay, . And the mountaineers are jolly, As the band begins to play. And they catch o ito the “trolly"— We are “happy on the way” All the counties in a cudcr, For < tir “Bill’’ nas won the day And the“WT>ilh house” in Allanta. Piiill Glenn Byrd. LET TH E BOOM ERSKI SS THE KA I Let the sooner and the boomer, And the fellow with the rumor, Clear the track tor the lighting democrat, From the mountains to the ocean, There will be a wild commotion And tbe“Srollgoster”asking where he’s“at.” Yes the drummers are a dri.mmin And the Democrats are comin And the hog-killing times are at band ; There’ll be a mighty slaughter But not larger than it oughter, Aye,there's bound to be fnn in the land. They will roll down from the mountains, From the “moonshine" and the fountains. They will roll toward the wire grass and pine, Where they’ll meet the wool hat voters, And the Georgia skillet toters, They will rally on the democratic line, FromC oweta te Atlanta They will travel io a canter, They will bear t ere ’he choice of the Stat > Yes democracy is hummin, And Bill Atkinson is comin,— To be governor of Georgia’s his fate.

Mr. Cobb, the youug man who was president of the Young-* Men*s Democratic League, has resigned in order to be president of the Evans club. Does Mr. Cobb consider his duty to Mr. Evans greater than his duty to the democratic party?— Hales Weekly. Mr. Cobb has never thought of it from that point of view. Mr. Cobb is an Atlautian, and like the balance of the natives of that saintly city has □ever thought of anything but “At lantaJs interest. Those foreign papers dabbling in Alabama politics will get a b’ack eye sooner or later, says the Brewton Leader. Let the Atlanta Constitution manage its own af fairs.

We venture the assertion that this is the largest tax levy in the histo ry of Georgia,—Athens Banner. “There has been mere fr«»sh meat fought to Douglasville this winter than any year in the past five,” remarked a prominent mer chant a few days ago. This speaks well for the farmers of Douglas county, and henceforth they will have their smokehouses at home. —Rochelle New South. An upstart congressman, says the Bristol Courier, daied to beard Bisselll in his den the other day and strenuously insists ihat "My Partner” should overcome the in ertia of his elephantine ponderous ity and get a tuovo on himself in reference to some appointments in wnich said congres-nieo were deep ly interested. Old Bis got red in the face aud uluicst chok ’d with slobber as he arose and roared, “Do I look like a man to be bluff ed?’.'

Now that the secretary of thetreas ury has provided for the sirengtlien ng of a gold reserve in the treasury sa as to make reasonably certain the government’s ability to maintain the parity of its various kinds of curren t'- ll is time to consider ths pro pnety if coining the so called seignior age of the silver bullion in the treas ury. We see no good reason now why it should not be coined. It is a part of the assets of the treasury. At some time it is sure to be coin ed, for it is certain that the govern ment will never put it on the market for what it will bring, and so much wealth cannot be permitted to remain indefinitely locked up, remaining unavailable ;n I useless. Then why not coin it now? To have added $57,030,000 to the amount of silver money in circulation at a time when the gold reseive amounted to only $70,000,000 and the bank» were loaded down with money they could not loan would certainly have been dangerous. W e think it no longer dangerous when arrangements have been made io largely increase the reserve. It is certainly better to coin the seignior ige than to borrow $56,000,000 to meet current expenses while allow ing so valuable au assert to remain ensued.—Macou Telegraph THE NEXT SENATOR. The Savannah papers effect to look upon Major Bacon as a combination man because he is such a good all round player.—Macon News. The governorship campaign is warming up rapidly. The senti ment for Mr Atkinson is growing everywhere. Young, able, active, worthy the state long since it learned fc hat it can trust him, —Franklir News and Banner. The Atkinson boom is spreading like a prairie fir*’.—Lawrenceville News. If Atlanta papers are to be credit ed, and of course they are, the gubernatorial ehair is still ebbing Gen. Evans all around the o Way cross Herald. W Y Atkinson is our man for governor, and we’ll take Evans for a preacher.—Baxlay Banner. A large majority of the country papers are for Atkinson for governor while most of the dailies are for r.vans. By the way Gen Evaus lives on Peachtree street Atlanta. If he is as good a preacher as is claim ed looks like he might have done some t nng for the moral welfare of bis neighbors. It does.—Chattooga News CAN THIS BE SO? Rev C. A. Evans, in writeing to the Methodist ministers of the State for their support, by the way of apologv for being in the race, says that it is not his own feelings, but ■he demand of friends, that prompts him to make the race, or words io that effect. This being the case, we think less of the General’s candidacy than ever.—Dublin Post. In a fire department, it is a bad idea to take money out the depart ment‘a hose and put it iivbank.

O ce upon a midnight dreary,as I pondered weak and weary, in a state of sleepy stupor on the quiet Senate slur; while I nodded, slumber seeking, suddenly there came a squeaking, as of some one always sp li king, sp aking on the Senate floor. “It is only Cockerill,” thought I, “speaking on the senate floor —only that and nothing more” “Cockerill, ’ said I, quite em phatic, "Populist or Democratic, whether fate or some worse evil s nt thee to this Senate floor, can not you but once be quiet from tbi- everlasting die s , from this weary w»ntou riot of just talk, and talk so poor? Is there, is there any respite? I'ell me, tell m , I im plore?'’ Quoth the Cockerill, “Ni v.-rmore.” “But the times are dull and dreary, all the land is tired and weary, nd depression rules in ev ery factory, mill and retail store. While you stand there talking, talking, danger through the land is stalking. Cease this weary, end less balking. Take a vole at half past four. L t us vote at least by Christmas, if we cannot vote bo fore.” Quoth the Cockerill, “Nev ermore.” So the Cockerill never firing, never weary, still is filing columns of t.ie direst speeches ever mortal heard before, and his eyes have all the seeming of a demon that is dreaming, aud the light that upon him streaming shows an empty Senate floor. Still he talks and talks, although he knows he is an awful bore. Will he stop? Ah, nev ermore.- Exchange. A GIRL OF RARE TYPE. There is one type of young girl that is irresistible to e»en the most blase worldling. She is so frankly young and so effervescent in her happiness that one forgives the little arrogance of spring-time that she can r.o more help assuming than she can help breathing. She is a sweet aud dutiful daughter, recog nizing the love her parents shower upon her and returning it with a'l the freshness of pure affection. Though the whole world pets her, she in not spoiled and realizes that the experience of older people is well worth abiding by, aud the advice and councel given in good part is re ceived by her in the same friendly spirit. Moreover, she is a sensible slip of a girl, who understands that life is not all playtime and that so;- sow and duty creeps in and must be met in the cherriest spirit possible. She is not too good to be cernpan— ionable. for she is full of woman’s natural instincts and impulses, but her heart is right and her watchword is to make the most of life as it comes along, shouldering the burdens with meekness, entering into th* joy with enthusiasm and sharing the sorrows of others with genuine sympathy. St e is a good daughter and a charm ing friend, and she is bound to be an agreeable wife for the man who is fortunate enough to win her.—Phil adelphia Times.
