The emperor of China pays his j&ldiers at the munificent ia’e of 11 a month, out of which they are required to purchase their food. One thing we (ditors like about the lawyers, they never *grire” advice —thus removing all rhance of annoyance from th it source. Kentucky is the foremost state m the production of hemp and has fteen known to produce 35,000 tons is a year. Wherever her old jßourbon is sold a demand exists Sm her hemp. Dr. H. K.

Brother Wright is doing most excjllont and effective work with bis little gold mine, the Roberta Correspondent, o It is always better to shake hands than fists.—Augusta Chron icle. Yea verily, and better to shake your mother in-law than her sleeping grand baby. The Constitutions seem greatly elate.l over the fact that the Love joy Picayune, a 2x4 sheet, is for Evans. 'I his is one of “the h ading weeklies of the State’’ th.it the Macon Evening News says are for Evans. Go to!—Griffin News. Yea, and tell them to “dam the Etowah,’ - too o The Harry H- 11-Fanny Porter combination is a drawing card for the Atlanta papers. —Chattooga News. o This world is a lemon i f you squeeze it one way ; an orange if you press it the other. — Ringold New S 'Uth, So you pays your money and takes your choice, j Some men never know when they have a good thing, Gen Ev ans should continue to preach the gospel.—Ringold New South. o The dead letter office become,-, the receptacle of many funny things. Among its latest acquisi tions was an uncalled for letter addressed as follows: “Sylvester Brown, a red-faced scrub, To whom this letter wants to go Is chopping coidwood for his grub At Silver City, Idaho.” —Athens Banner. o Harry Hill seems to have had a mighty soft snap—mighty soft.— Chattooga News. o The sentimental gush of some of the Atlanta newspapers in attempt ing io whitewash Mrs, Porter is abso’utely nauseating.—Calhoun Times. o The Hustler of Rome is not sing ing so loud of late. What is the mat ter with The Only Byrd.—Augusta Herald. Nothin —just practicin Bingin so low. The fact is, we have got a crick in our neck caused by trying to keep up with Atkinson’ and at the same time get an occasional glimpse of the Atlanta Candidate who is floundering along in the rear. PURELY POLITICAL. “Our John” has made another speech in congress. His last effort places him among the first orators of the southland, —Ringgold New South. Will be have oposition for re-elec tion, over in Catoosa? An early an swer will oblige Seventh district demo crats. ‘ The inevitable election of Genera} Evans governor of Georgia ” says the Griffin News, “will be no reflection upon his opponent, Mr, Atkinson.” [Savanah Press] We call every subscriber to testify that we never said it—well, hardly! “The inevitable election of General Evans,” fiddlesticks! —we never thought it and don't believe it, and,in fact, know better. Mr. Atkinson will never be refl cted on in that way.The Press got its clippings terribly mix ed.—Griffin News The Maunlicher rif! ', which has just been tested in Europe, is de. dared to be inferior Lj the French arm. Why tubeshure, A mau-like •r rifle couldnt even report for—a newspaper. Ilia butt is too far from his mouth. Jefferson suggested the plan of decimal coinage in 1785, and it was adopted by congress, A one hundred cent dollar is the corner stone of Jefforsonian democracy even to this day. Blankets were invented by r lh 'Di as Blanket, who made them at Bristol in 1340. GEORGIA NUGGETS. The necessaries of lift should not be taxed.

Charlie M.tehell says he got licked because he struck a better man. We thought it was because a better man struck Charlie. —Waycross Herald. F. M. Kittle, one of Catoosa’s prosperous farmers, recently killed six hogs which weighed mere than 2,000 pounds. The biggest porker in the lot weighed over 400 pounds net. He still has more to kill. Our farmers have moved their smoke houses from the west and this year will sell meat instead of buying it —Ringold New South. Every now and then we receive a postal card from some postmaster that reads about this way: “The News sent to.—is not taken out but remains dead in the office. Reason, he has gone to Texas.’ - If those people who read a paper two or three years and then skip out without paying for it, don’t reach a hotter place than Texas, then the devil won’t get his own Chattooga News. STATE POLITICS. Tills year promises to be an enventful one in Georgia politics. In the society racket is the most popular girl.—Thomasville Adver tiser, Capt. John L. Hardeman, the ga lan* soldiei-lawyer, has re covered from the grip. He ip just in time to run for the state senate. —Savannah Press. It begans to be plainly evident that the contest for the United States senatorship will be between Gov Northen and Maj. Bacon. It will be a test of political streng'h second only iu interest to the Ev ans-Atkinson fight.,—Chattooga N jws. NATIONAL POLITICS’ Instead of going into committee of s he whole so often, wouldn’t it be a good idea if congress would g<' into a hole and pull the hole in after it?—Forsyth Journal, The country will hold the senate to a strict accountability for the prompt passage of the WilsoL bill. —Thomasville Times Enterprise. The man who attempts to place the blame for the present condi tion of the country at the door of the Democratic party is a know nothing.—Waycross Evening Her ald . It is a fact sad enough to briug tears to the eyes of a crocodile that Gen. Gordon has again found the salary of United States sena tor too small to furnish him meat and bread, and has to eke it out by taking the lecture field instead of performing the duties of the office to winch he was elected and which the people pay him a high salary to fill.—Montezuma Record It is said that Mrs. Wilson wept for joy when her husband was vic torious She probably had more to do with that bill than people know of. 'The assistance and advice ol wromen have led more than one man to victory.—Albany Herald. The Jesup Sentinel claims that education in that city is se free at salvation, and that books dont cost any mote than preacherr. Georgia may not export man) hogs to Chicago, but when the hours arrives the Legislature will ship a fine exhibit of her Bacon to Washington D. C. Thats Floyd’s choice. Since the Waycross war those few papers in Georgia who had be gun to advocate Northen for Sena tor have “let up.” Seems like a modern war record is not com manding a premium.

THE ATLANTA MUD SLINGER. “Mr. Atkii son urges but two i. - guuients against General Evans, the . one is that be has served Lis country, and the other is that he bus serve J! his God ” The above is a specimen from the Evans Club Campaign paper of At lanta, And a beautiful specimen it is too. From start to finish it smacks of Atlanta unscrapnb.usness —as it bad ly slanders the go->d name of o of Georgia’s noblest and most patriotic sons. Mr. Atkinson has never at any time used such an argument against the ‘ Atlanta candidate,’ and un'ili the writer of that paragraph states the time and place and names other than himself who heard said argu ment fall from the lips of the gallant young statesman, or produces the original from his fearless pen, he will S .nd before all fai ■ minded demo crats as a base slanderer and h Liar of the first water. Mr. Atkinson will not bo ruled out of the race or off of the track by any of the Atlanta click, and their efforts in that direction will rebound—and the Atlanta candidate will be thehurt man. Mr. Atkinson is in this race to a finish and if he does not win it will be the first race ever lost by the wool hat boys of Georgia in tins day and generation. He is flinging no niud, not even at the mud flingers of Atlanta who hale him because he fought Atlanta’s pet scheme the “soldiers poor house home;’’a scheme Calculated to pour money, gathered from all parts of Georgia by taxation, into Atlanta’s lap. Atkinson’., record as a democrat and a sti.tisman, is interwoven with the most prosperous years of the common wealth and the most briliant victories of State Democracy—we re fer you to history. He was born too late in life to have fought, bled and been shot off of a horse iu the Confederacy but he has been iu all the “since the war fights” (except the AVaycross war) since be has been able to tote his own and his p irly’s share of skillets, And he has done more for the old Confederate veterans in the last four years than General Evans has since the Appomatox. It strikes the averag ■. fighting dem ocrat, that the Atlanta Club is yet “fresh,” in party warfare, at lea t when Atlanta‘s interest were not at stak'q the wool hat’ boys of Georgia have never heard of Atlanta demo crats tearing their shirts for democ racy. Lst the Evanescent boomers con fine themselves to the truth and look ing up General Evans war record n >w —and explaining how he got left after the e’ection and they will have all they can say grace ever.
