McCaffrey. * Dipthem L said to be raising havoc in Nevi Orleans. The tourist is a skipper when he Btrikes the town over which his mother- : n-law rules the roest. Democratic manufacturers are like a bull dog in the meat house want free raw material. One of the easiest things in this life is for seme men io love a girl with ducats The well-digger’s job is like the drunkards final home —beneath him. The Ann Aycock Jury kontinues the laughing stock of Floyd county— and Ann—why he has gone further Hairy Hill must have squandered all his wealth; Lis Attorneys have gone back on him, and abandoned the case. The Editors revenue from the de linquent is like a womans postscrip to a telegram—Short and doiit get there. It ‘akes the rotten hearted hyp ocrit to effect ’he manner of the just. The honest man studdiesnot his actions. Th* Augusta Herald scores Rev. Warren Chandler as a Demagogue. What does th'* Rev. Clement A. Evans think of that? Bam Hall, Allmna’s Ward Mc- Allister has had a mortgage of $(>00 rt corded against him. Now watch the devil foreclose, Sam Whitmire has not been heard from during recent events. Sam's “write’’ hand is his left hand, and yet what Im writes is i.< ver left. Hairy Hill will probably Lo ban quele l on l.is anival, by the ‘Atlanta col ny” in Georgia's great social or ganization, the I’ennitentiary. Handsome Harry Hill has been graded low, but if his enemies will give him half a chance, he will soon be forging ahead again. The blacksmith forge is linked to the Atlanta forger by ties that bind. It yields the chains which form new connections There are some , oming men' 1 in this state’but none of them compare with Mr. Maddox of Georgia “Our John” “gets there.’’ Augusta is to have a car factory. She will have to move up several car lengths with her Evans boom to keep in the wake of the Atkinson avalanch. Women are not democratic by nature —they love to lord it over mankind and are ever looking for hi “protection.” WAITING. WHISPERING L.k the : rii! of a lute, or a whispering flute, Wafts a music fresh b >rn from ‘he skies, Ami the havculj note Ir m her angelic throa' Sooths my «■ ul in this rail, y of sighs.

Aml the Asphodel face in its heaven tinted grace, Lighted up by her great, tender eyes - 1) idle in lute notes of glory, she whispers love’s stcry— How she's waiting for inc—in the skies Through the toil and strife of this everv day life She is whisp’ring of bliss there above; She will watch and will wait by the great pearly gate, When forev'r we may revel in love. I’Hll.L GI.ENN BVKD, Aii old maid loves cats, while a bachelor ia fond of du-cats. The Waycross Herald says that “if you don’t believe prize fighting is demoralizing, just watch aad listen to your 12-year-old boy. He will astonish you. I’eace reigns around old Waycross The soldier quits the fray Stacked are the gleaming muskets —The troops are wanting pay. "W1 era's the General?" A negro preacher m St. Louis placed a lump of coat in the fire, and an he did so five bullets issued from the fireplace and now the Darktown Faint has gone to that “bright” home where only the best of lump brimstone is used for macadamizing where holes hnvi been worn in the street! that wr re “paved with good intentions.’ VINDICATED. IlusLl A woman has been vindicat ed The .v nor of a Southern home has be n saved from the polluted grasp of a blackmailer. The purity of the fireside hat been protected by the oath of chivalry. The sanctuary of virtue has been sheilded by the s olemn decree of the court. The dig nity of S'uthern manhood has been en.bl izoned by the sacred verdict of a < Jeorgia jury. Harry Hill h >s b en declared guilty of forgery. There was a chrous of hallelujahs xshen their verdict was communicated to the angles in heaven. The Savior of the world, that loving exemplar of courtly grace smiled in happy reflec tion over such an heroic exhibition of worldly honor and earthly justice. The stars of the firmament kissed each other in estacy as the blessed news went forth to scorch the seered conscience of the slanderer, and blis ter the cringing heart of the defamer The good name of a woman has passed safely through the furnace of evil repoit. —Atlanta Comercial.

Harry Hill has been declared guilty of forgery, but for heavens sake ow does that explain'why Mrs. Porter loaned him,'without security, all those thousands of dollars and then went into the whiskey business with him without the knowledge of hex’ bus band aud brother. As to the next paragraph, theie are people who dare to call, at loa ß t a p< rticn es it, sacrilege of the worst form: Who conveyed that ver dict to the angels anyhow? and the stars kissing each other and shouting “yum! yum!’’ to the planets, while the moon stood still and winked at the sun until he got as hot as a ginger mill— Great Scott! —but the Commercial should chase itself out to Peachtree and take a bath in Pone De Leon.

Our devil has his reasons for voting against General Evans, he says , his ma alius whipped him the hardest with a Peachtree switch. A contempory wants to know: if a young man begins loosing 14 hairs from his head per day, when he is 18, how long until he is bald headed? That depends largely upon the age at which he marries.

The p*ople of Allanta are God’s people, and they are too strongly entrenched to be affected by the pusillanimom flings of envious newspaper Pharisees. —Atlanta Commerical. The great ge whizz! Allanta may be heaven to the average At lantian, but there are yet a few of the envious who are presumptive enough to believe that the Nyw Jersulem lies at least a degree or too higher than the Kimball house roof and they know that Peechtree street dont lead to its Golden gate. — Why even Atlautians admit that Atlanta “society” is composed of two facts, the ketched and the un ketched.

The Atkiusan boom has refused te fuse and will make the dat«s The only fusing we ksow of is in the Evans camp where cen-fuse ion reigns. Now Floyd county aspires to be the banner Evaase unty.— Macon News. If General E vans carries the other counties in the stat# like he does Floyd then Atkinson will beat him two to one m every mill ita. district in Geargia. This may sound harsh to the sweet nerves of the Evanescent boomers but it is ti e truth, and the battle of the ballot will prove it. GEORGIA NUGGETS. There is no trouble that troubles so badly as borrowed trouble.— A bany Herald, The Georgia State Agricultural Society is composed of a jol iy nice set of farmers, and the probability is that they will plant a crop in Brunswick that will thrive all the year around.—Brunswick Times, A bridge two miles long is to be built across the Mississippi river ar New Orleans.

He had bettei’ by a darned have bought him a block of ice to take along with him.—Chattanooga News These are terible things for Ten nessee yahoos to be saying about a black angel who will tell St. Peter he is Jesup from Georgia. CRISP OF GEORGIA. Charley Crisp everlastingly flay ed Tom Reed in his closing speech in favor of the Wilson bill. Crisp proved himself more than a match for the man from Maine.—Thom asville Times. In the magnificent victory achieved for tariff reform, Speaker Crisp did great work by his able speech in reply to ex Speaker Reed and on the vote every Georgia tuoraber voted for the bill. Geor gia had « large share in the great tariff reform victory.—Athens Banner. The henrtaof all Georgian* must thrill with pri k at the ovation Speaker Crisp received after the passage of the Wilson tariff bill Although an active advocate of the measure, his demeanor has I b en so ui iformly courteous and impartial that it has elicited the highest encomiums from all parts of the country.
