THE FIRST SNOW ON HER GRATE.
With the clouds bending low and the wind gone
to rest,
Not a sound fror the East, not a sigh from the
W est,
W ith the gale of the North in its caverns asleep I
And i he zephyrs of D xi<* a —slumber,
ol a • u:, not a note ■f a son/ brakes the deep
Saobath calm while the flukes without
numbt r
Sweeping down Horn the clouds, falling soft,
falling sw ft
Wreath me hills in a mantle--and the vales in
a di ill.
There are violets asleep in th. white winding
sheet.
While lbe oder of the hyacinth makes the snow
blanket sweet,
In the cold velvet folds they are safe from the
breath,
From the hurtling hale of the storm,
There they nestl'in the sn >w and the breath
ings of death
Harm them not—till the snn smiling warm
Shall dispell every cloud, and thall rout the
Frost King—
These will welcome the birds when they come
in the spring.
But the calm of it all—of the flakes as they fly.
As they silently dance to the earth from the sky ;
Oh this calm, ho it stifles the pulse of my
heart,
CP nd unstring, every chord—sets them ach
ing.
How it calls back the past which the years fain
would part—
Wringing pain frsrn the strings that ar”
breaking;
Oh this calm ! Breathing anguish of Life's di ep
est serrow,
How I long for the storms—for the battle of the
morrow.
For away ’neith a mound, with hands folded to
rest.
And with, flowers asleep on her eold virgin
breast,
Sleeps the beautiful form of my angelic love—
Menlds the heart that was loyal and trne,
That was mine till the pure soul was gathered
above
Till in dea'h came the last fond adien.
With her hands full of blossoms, with violets
abloom
’Neith the snow on her grave—the first Shew
wre .ths her tomb.

Editor Byrd, of The Hustler
vs Rome put it on a lit<le toe
heavy thh other day when he re
marked editorially that Governor
Atkinson would open the big At
lanta Exposition in 1895,
W ehad insisted that Atlanfahss
a hard enough row to weed now,
gubernatorially speaking, without
rubbing salt over her wounds by
such an editorial expression, We
trust that the truth of editor Byrds
remark will not deter our Atlanta
friends from pushing their expo
sition to success, as our heart is
with them m their efforts and we
know they' can get up a big expo
sition, even if they can’t elect a
Governor—Athens Banner.
STATE POLITICS.
So far there are only eight candi
dates for the U. 8. Senate . Geor
gia has (l uite a number of politi—
< i ms»who think they are capable
of filling the Position who have not
yet announced.— Hale’s Weekly.
Col. Bill Glenn of Eu'ton, seems
amused at the mention of his name
as a possible third party candi
date for the Governorship, We are
not surprised at his amusement,
his candidacy for this office would
be a stupendous joke.—Newnan
Herald.
The Ishmaelite would rejoice to
see A. O. Bacon filling Gordon's
neglected and dishonered seat in
the senate. Lecturing is Gordon's
fort. In the senate he is worse
than a simple failure.—Sparta

The Chicago Dispatch remarks:
If the opening chapters of the

It is like list‘Hing to the re
marks of a comic opera comedian
to hear the supporters of Gen.
Evans, whose ministerial robes
are not supposed to be trailing
in the dost of the political arena,
say: “It looks like the old days
when the office sought the man. 'o
so* the popular uprising for Gen .
Evans.” To an ordinary everyday
sort ®f a man it appears that, Gen . I
Evans is attempting to give the
office very material assistance in
its effort to chase him down.—
Columbus Ledger.
THS BLUE AND THE GREY—
BY A KID.
Mr. Max Meyerhardt, the daddy
of the Max Meyherhardt Evans
Club of Rome says in bis regular
Sunday morning desertatio* on
General Evans: “The people of
Georgia stlill cherish the memories
of the war.”
Why of course they do, aid
right here iu Rome there are gal
lant old Veterans who remember
distinctly all about “Little Max
Meyerhadt’s” record.
Suppose Mr. Meyerhardt vary the
program next Sunday and giv* us
a few reminiscences frost th*
“blue and the grey” rem«mber*d
by a kid.
Mclntosh is right.
Gen. Clenent A. Evans.candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
Governor of Georgia, Is a Methodist
minister The Hon. William Y. Atkin
son, candidate far the same, is only a
Presbyterian lavman, and he is said
to be looking for tl e Baptist vole,
which is powerful in the Cracker
t te. A circular ittribu’ed to him
asks the Baptist clergymen for their
“quiet influence and verbal expression
in my (his) behalf,” If the fight be
tween Gen. Evans and Mr, Atkinson
is taken up by Georgia Methodists
and Baptfsts, there will be the most
hustling hullabaloo in this canvas than
Georgia has ever seen : and Georgia
is no chicken in politics.—New York
Sun.
Such rot as the above must be dis
gusting and humiliating to sensible
Georgians. Any yet it is not surpris
ing that papers outside the State
should regard religion and politics
and preachers and politicians in Geor
gia as being pretty well mixed. R*
ligion and the hallelujah lick have
been worked and re-worked in'the
politics of this State to great advan
tage by shrewd politicians. More's the
pity, yet ’tie true. And there are
some narrow-guage newspapers in
the State that run their favorite can
didates on this disgusting line, and
thus, to the extent of their circulation,
the people of Georgia are held up to
the outside world as a lot of religious
political fanatics divided by sectarian
lines.—Albany Herald.
The Herald is right, and the rebuke
coming as it does from a paper not
yet commited—a paper edited by a
levelheaded conservative writer will
have its eflect upon the Constitution
and its little “me too” imitators over
the State.

THE POLITICAL RETORT.
Th* only “ring” that democrats
iu Georgia need fear thia year is
the Atkiusuu ring now be[ng
formed in the stat*.—Dalton Ar
gus.
And no true democrat ‘‘fears 44
the ’‘Atkinson ring." They heard it
“ring" in ‘92 and helped it ring in
a majority of 80,000. Georgia
Democracy knows the false notes
of the “Atlanta ring" and is no
stranger to ths “genuine Atkiu
sonian ring."
Mr, .Atkinson brings but two
charges against General Evans;
one is that he has served his coun
try, and the other is that he has
served his God.
That sort of talk might have
been appropriate in a campaign of
a century or so ago. But just now
it don't go down, brother. But
hen campaign capital is scarce on
your side of the fence.—Columbus
Ledger.
New York is unquestionably a

pistol, iii the most approve! dime
