O W ED TO THE SPRING POET
I The bird’s happy welling glad from its throat
Making merry its frost smitten bowers,
As it trills through the calm of this early Spri"g
balun,
is prophetic of Aprils warm showers,
—And a harbinger of Spring, love and flowers.
All the cold winter through, while tho North
wind blew, ,
We have shivered in its fieice icey blow;
The delinquent's withstood eur appeal lags for
Wood,
“Nor would list to the tale of our woe,
And poe’B wrote of "beautiful snow.”
This Life isat best but a vale of unrest,
Yat the winter time is most a] t to show it—
For the teos'tn of your pants meets the gale's
mad advance,
And its cold, very cold— and you know it
—And you long for the song of Springs peat.
Oh the poets who sing, in the beautiful Spring,
And who warbles 'til the last rose of summer
Is very very very, apt to make you feel merry
Though you !• ok like an out and our bum
mer,
Os the birds Spring poet’s the Hummer,
Like the hen’s April lay, his will hatch out in
May,
Just the thoughtmakes a fellow feel laz.y,
i Yes the winter winds that juggle, soon will
cease from the struggle,
And the bumble bee will monkey with the
naisy,

While on his lecturing tour
from Augusta to Atlanta Geu. Gor

that was out of date. It was not
honored, and it was only by some
lively telegraphing that the Gen
eral did not pay his fare.— Albany

It is rumored that Senator Gor

“He could, spare the time to go
back to his duty, but then, you

Georgia last week realizing $1,500.

POSSUM TROTT GAZETT
I
Our wife’s mother's old grey mule,
Beck, was in town yesterday and if
he dont know something about “The
last days ai the Confederacy"—then
he must have kicked some Senator
to death and run off with his voice.
We are going to get an option on
him and sell him to Max Meyerhardt
for his Evans Club—he can cut kick
any man in it and his lajadgwidge is
. propper.
Us folks in Possum Trott d»nt
think the political weather will be so
in Clement that our Bill will be driv
en to shelter this side of the Govern
i ors mansion in Atlanta.
Colonel Mozes "Wright was in Pos
sum Trott this morning, right 1 ere
lwe wi ; l siiy that if Mozes Wright
wants’to go to the legislature, all he‘s
got to do is to promise Possum Trott
that he will favor a bill; which will

ME, TOO,
When Gen, Evans was told that
Mr, Atkinson in his Forsyth speech
last week favored the free coinage of
silver, the good old general respond
ed,
“Me, too.”
When told that Atkinson declared
for state banks, the old gentleman
hastened to reply, “Me, too.”
Being told that Atkinson is for the
income tax, the general again blurt
ed out, ‘,Me too,"
Atkinson was proclaiming
these same principles in thunder
tones from the mountains to the sea
board in the exciting canvvss of two
years ago, we heard then no “me toos“
from Gen. Evans. Like the mighty
Achilles he was sulking in his tent or
else like careless Paris he reis ained
idly at home. It was only when the
Atlanta Constitution and its ring
•ailed upon the general to stand f< r
governor that he buckled on his ar
mor and manifested a willingness to

he is too old to wait any longer.
