Gor don prei-euted the conductor a pass that was out of date.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 Herald. It is rumored that Senator Gor don has gone back to his duty. —Thomasville Advertiser, “He could, spare the time to go back to his duty, but then, you see, he’d miss the double salary.”— Sparta Ishmaelite. In reply to the Albany Herald's querry about Senator Gordon, the Rome Hustler nays “the prospects are that Senator Gordon's private interests will tear —if he does- and he won’t”—Thomasville Ad vertiser. It appear* to The News that an ‘•ffort to get the senator to stay iu , his senatorial Beat would be in the right direction, —Dawson News. ( It is a fact sad enough to bring , tears to the eyes of a crocodile < that General Grrdon has again • found the salaiy of the United States senate 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 which he was elected, and which the people pay him a high salary to fill Montezuma Record. Gen. Gordon gets SSOO every time he delivers his famous war lecture. He lectured three times in Georgia last week realizing $1,500. He has engagements to deliver the lecture forty times —Meriwether Vindicator. If Lecturer John B. Gordon can’t stay at his post of duty in Wash ington City he should resign again and do so at once. —Dublin Post Gordon is actually drawing sl4 per day as Senator; although he is seldom in "Washington. There are men in Georgia who wou’d truly represent their constituents, and who would always be in their place. —Greensboro Herald-Journal. THE GUBERNATORIAL RAGE If we are net for Atkinson for Governor, we are most. —Buchanan B inner Messenger. How many speeches did General Evans make in the Tenth district last year, and where?—The Geor gia Cracker. Atkinson receives an ovation wherever he goes, In fact tne tidal wave is now in favor of the you, g stateman, Dublin Post, The truth is that the artificially blown up boom for Geu, Evans has about collapsed, and that At kinson is gaining rapidly in all parts of the State, as men begin to consider the facts of the situa tion. The process is sure to con tinue, —Macon Telegradh. “GENERAL’ NORTHEN'S WAR. The question now arises as to whether Governor Northen armed himself with a palmetto fan, wi h which to ki U sandflies or, whether he tarried a pocket knife along with a corksrew on the back of it.—Morgar.- ton News. Governor on the coaet! Sitting in the sun! Ah, there! Stay there! Billie, git yer gun! —Eli jay Courier. Gen. Northen bursted his chances for the United 'States Senate by ar overcharge of the musket.—Buchanan Messenger.

Democracy has *a ’ tendency to brat ch out too much.— Hustljcr of Rome. That goes to show that democracy has not gone to seed yet.—Buchan i nan Messenger. They are talking about a dark horse for governor in some quarters. Wil trot him out. The race is on. — Brunswick Times. Yea, verily’ and many of you boom ers are quaking in your boots and watching an opportunity to" back a dark horse —anything to beat Atkin son. i We don't knew whether the Evars movement is “spontaneousjunanimity or unanimous spontaneity.*' —Law , renceville News. Thats it exactly; its mixed and cant get there. 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 move the Governors mansion off of Pesc'Jree Street, move it any •> t re out of its questionable quarters. “Kash * gets up a two kolumn arti kle in the Hitler ok Robb about a crazy dog.

There's many a poor duck who could be placed on the income tax list, if there was any money in letting ', out his wife'a voice, But there ajnf H Sea? 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 ■a ngle in the fray.—Meriwether Vin dicator. • IORGIA SHORT STOPS. Mr, J. V. Harbison took charge of the Marshal’s office in July, and has destroyed 30 stills.—Dahlone ga Signal. During the recent blizzard out there the wind blew seventy miles »u hour in Chicago. That is pretty fast and Atlanta aud Birmingham had best look to their laurels.— Albany Herald. Little Henry Housley picked up a uugget of gold on the outskirts of the towu the other morning ’ which realized him $1.03.-—Dab- ’ loiiega ©igual. The Butler Herald advocates Gen. Evans for governor because he is too old to wait any longer. There are times when it is h»r 1 to tell whether a man has been dabbling in a flour barrel or dauc iug with the belle of the ball, re marks an exchange.
