Digging violets out of the snow is a Georgia industry of recent years. He whogo<e* gunning in a heavy snow takes a mean advantage of smarll game In coming from their bootlick ers, the Constitution i ever hesi fates to fill in where it suits*? 8 pur. pose. When it comes to facts and fair dealings the Constiiution is a great barr.n waste.—Hale’s W> ek iy- Th* latest rumor in Rai' oa ' circles is to the effect that the At lanta and Florida and the Mariet ta and North Georgia, will cor»- bine and form a grand trunk lino North and South. There are 3,500 votes to be cast in the comrr.ing democratic pri mary and because 500 out of the 700 canvassed by th* Frans club people, have refused to “jine,” the Tribune proceeds to claim that I General Evans will carry 3,000. General Evans should feel llatter- ■ ed if he gets 500 votes in Floyd The Argus is indebted to Hon. i John W. Madd' x for a copy of his speech on the Wilson hill. It was clear, strong and forcible, and shows that Judge Maddox is no i only well-posted on the issues of the day, but a zealous advocate of I What he believes to be the best for i hie constituency.—Dalton Argus, i Tha Macon Telegraph,a score of Ji the weekly papers which have de clared their preference on the gub ernatorial question stands for EV aiis 51. for Atkinson 60; daily pa pers for Evans 10, for Atkinson 5. And it might be well to remember that of 10 dailies for Evans, six aro published u Atlanta and Au gueta. I —— Henry McDonald, ths gay young Atlantian who spent a couple of days in Chattanooga where he ' lived with Miss Kellie Webb of Atlanta as man and wife, says he had no idea es desertsng his wealthy and beautiful young wife- If Mrs. McDonald has ordinary ■gammon sense she will probably M iffiMS|6UDnn Henry's mind that a h ‘‘J. cidedly 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. Pbill Glenn Bybd Workmen boring an artesian 1 well in Louiiana struck a maple log in a sound stats of pres*rvs , ration 540 feet below the surface, A ten year old boy named Pat terson, who lives near Point Pleasant, O , saw a looking glafl; for ths first time Saturday, and when he looked into it he jumped - back, got his gun and shot the glass all to pieces . In Kentucky he would have thought “they were , snakes,” in Tennessee ho wouid b-ve believed them “monkeys,” in Georgia it would have been a clear case off'jim-jams.” Os course in Ohio he just “bad.‘urn agin.“ The French court ordered that the Princess Colonna give her children up to her husband, who is a profligate drunkard and abso lute'y unfitted to rear childre*. This decision of the French court is iu keeping with the traditions of the old world, which look on woman as the slave of h*r hus band —When will th» wealthy fe male fool* Isarn to w*d men in stead of titles which are ofte hampered with a b*astl y attach ment, THEMOBT UNKINDEST CUT. 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 I’hir aelite. The Chicago Dispatch remarks: If the opening chapters of the Pollard-Breckinbridgo serial are & fair sample of what is to follow, its chief distinguishing character i-itic from ’bis port should ba chloride of lime. .... .. -t. - 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. -. u • 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 ; city of the wcrld. On Saturday ' the fan-tan game o f China was in full blast in Mots street, the grand opera of Paris was on tho boards I 1 • iat th“ Metropolitan opera bouse, land a wild western stage robbery occurred on Fifth Avenue. Mrs. Pomeroy, wifa of a wealthy n.ill owner of Massachusetts, was iL° victim of the robbery, which was accomplished with the aid of a pistol, iii the most approve! dime novel style. NATIONAL POLITICS. I A Deaiocratic congressman who I votes tor McKinley ism as a princi ple has no more claim on th»- suf frages of democrats than the great high priest of monopoly himself. Mobil* news. New York’s loss is Louisiana’* gain . Let’s sing the doxology and dismiss the unpleasa t epo«*de that has terminated s* acceptably to the entire country . —Le* Coun ty Enteiprise. AMONG THE PAINCES. A love-letter 102 pages long wr found on a New York prisoner the other day. No wonder he is in the pen.—Columbus Ledger. Perhaps this was “th* letter that never came” or that was '“why her heart was broken.’’ o Oh, shoo honey, good times cornin’, Gwine ter blow my horn ;1 No use talkin', tilings a-hummin', Caused by de hog and de corn. —Albany Herald. Oh, shoo, honey days a breakin’, Wakeup in de morn; • Set dat ho-kake on ‘er bakin', Den feed dem shoats on corn, O Missouri is a good state for th* sporadic edit r. Tn Polk county, Me, a mortgage is recorded on two pair of geese, one skillet, and a pair of candle moulds. An editor might hope to mortgage even his second-hand Washington hand-press and cracker box full of old type in that county.— Dalton Argus. o— Does Philomel Byrd of the Hustler of bustling Rome feel any inclination to “dam” the Evans tidal-wave?— Brunswick Times. He du not. The element of “horse power is not latent in it* waveing, vacilating thw. Let the monkey Wrench tighten the nut on his bolt and sink his head deeper. o A weekly paper is to be i*sued from the Kansas in*an* asylum.— Kansas City Times, It will probably be a populist or gan—Columbus Ledger. o The Hustler of Rome is making things warm up that way. The Hust ler is a dandy anyway you fix it. Thomasville Advertiser. This compliment, coming as it d*e?, from one of the brightest and breez iest papers iu the state is highly ap preciated. GEORGIA NUGGETS. Two incendiary fires in two nights is a pretty high record. A good field is opened for the talents of the city detective.—Columbus Ledger. The latest Americus sensation was editor My rick vs the Typo graphical Union, and the facts in the case go to prove that Union has suffered a "knock out.” Like all other organizations the Typo graphical Union is cursed with a lot of good-for-nothing members and just as long as they are al lowed to hold cards in the Union, will continue to receive “knock outs. ’ —Lee County Enterprise, The Augusta Herald says it is a shame that Gorueu and Colquitt did not vote ou the Peckham mat— t r. Try that kind of talk in At lanta and see what it will amount t*.—Albany Herald. Hawthorn made a good deal of reputation Sundaj by branding al l business men as thieves. Buisness men, as a rule, earn as many hon est dollars as preachers of his stripe —Hales Weekly. While Mr. W. R. Drane, of Cobb, was out hunting yesterday he came upon a drove of turkeys, He fired into the flock and succeeded in bagging two of them at one shot. The two fowls weighed 44 pounds. —Thomasville Advertiser That reduction of sa'aries on the U. P. railroad started from tl * wrong *nd_. Cutting ten or fifteen dollars a month from the pay of the flagmen, trainmen and other small salaried employes while sl3, (100 a year is paid to each ncsiver isn't economy.

White, Dawson, For syth, Piel ens, Cherokee and Cobb i i th* Atkinson column, Th*y con stitute a nice, large bouquet of counties, and they will be handed over to the Coweta as a token of the high regard in which he is held by the democrats of this section.—Lawrenceville News, If th# Evans boom is not support ed by stronger clubs than that of Hall county, it is in a shaky con dition, —Georgia Cracker. According to th" score of the “Great and Good” Telegraph, the majority of the “weekly” papers in G« rgia are in the Atkinson line- We ar* inclined to the opinion th t a majority of the Democratic vot ers of the Slate are in the sam* line—Reynolds Hustler. Mr. Atkinson is not going to lose any votes on account of having oppo*ed the acceptance by the. state ol the Soldiers Home iu At lanta, As a matter of fact, a large majority of th* veterans them selves opposed that measure, and Mr, Atkinson acted in accordance with their wishes, If this vote of Mr, Atkinson is used as an argu ment against him we will have a good deal more to say on th* sub jcct here after. McDuffie Journal, Mr, J. B. Osborn, the Populist orator from Atlanta, who address ed the meeting at th* court hous> last Friday, stated to The Stand ard men while paying us a pleas ant visit Friday morning that he wished the Democrats would nom inate General Evans for G >vt-rnor, ' for the Populist can defeat him 'easier than we can Bill Atkinson' —Cedartown Standard No one who is just will approve of ihe attacks that are being made upon Col. Glessner because of his support of Atkinson.—Augusta Herald, We doff our hat to the manly editor of The Herald, We admire such courage, though it be in ths camp of our friend the enemy. GEORGIA SHORT STOPS. Last week’s court cost Catoosa county nearly SBOO. Court comes high but we must have it—Ring gold New South. How does it happen that such a large percentage of the jurors in the United States Court for this district are drawn from Atlanta? Bartow furnishes a man or two once in a while, but most of the jurors are from Atlanta or its im mediate vicinity.—C edar to w n Standard.
