Atlanta wants a new deal —and th* idea now is “anybody to defeat Atkinson.” Day by day, the young stater man from Coweta county is forg ing t* the front, while hie ancient oponent. the candidate from At lanta lags towards the rear. Uet the fighting democrats gaze on the Jonahs, as they line up on the Evans loom, and ‘‘hold ti e fort’’ for Atkinson will be the next Governor. 3LIIW . A.L. U. Size up (he two candidates and in the name of patriotism and common sense vote for the best qualified and best equipped man of the two for Governor, The Evansites toil us that, the entire people of the Stat* are “spontaneously uprising” for Gen.

C. A Evan®. We yet wait. Atkinson will carry Rome by a larger majority than Jphn D. Moore did; while Floy d county is decidedly “more su“ for a practi cal man against the Atlanta Rings candidate. The “boot-licker,’ like a yaller dog is a privileged individual without a deck load of character He runs abroad in the iand and is only dangerous ‘o lambs. The John D. Moore ticket is not a lot of sprii g chickens. ;r.' Here's a preblem for the Agger loving, financial editor of the Morning Jonah to s lve: If the corn licker veneer pays SI,OOO per annum ljc< use, what should the city collect from the “boot-lick er” triflic, and when does the' buster’’ get in his work? Our “devil’says he never leads Judge Max Meyerh unit's Evans articles but what he is disappoint •ed. He explains this by saying ■that it is because Max don't close by saying “Atlanta papers please copy." Our devil* won money on Moore's election and is otherwise “■level headed." The Hvsti.xr of Roms thinks that Colonel Billy Gibbons should get Max Meyerbardt to go down in Vtenn’a Malley and organize an Ev ans Club. Mr, Gibbons says that be is ths only Evans man in the Valley, but that's all ths mors reason why he should get “organ ized.' Mint that so, Brother Billy? g ... m.T! -J, i jJ'W An old “war-cry” and & “cam paign club,” it was thus that Gea. Gordon was put upon the people, and to day we find the same noli ♦tcisins itriving by the u»e of the same sentiment to pull another 1 “General”—a man of less experi ence and ability upsn us.

THE OLD HOME PAPER, 111 printed, old fashoned and homely, Bearing name of a small country town, With an unfeigned sneer at its wrapper queer’ The postman in scorn throws it down. But I eon every line that it offers, Each item brings something to view, Through the vista of years, of youth s pleas ures and fears, And serves theirke n touch to renew. Tho death of the girl I onee courted, Tlie growth of the firm 1 once jeered, The i i e of a friend, whom 1 loved to commend The fall of a man X revered. As 1 read I drift dreamily backward, To days when to live was but joy; I tliiak and 1 pore, till ‘he city s dnli roar Grows faint—and agai , I'm a boy. Rare perfumes of green country by-way«, Far music of mowers and bees, And the quaint little town with its street lea ling down To the ersek and the low bending, trees. Around me the forms of my comrades; About ns, earth’s glories unfurled; Each heart undefiled, with the faith of a child Looking forth to a place in the world, And the paper tells how all have prospered, I follow their lives as they flow, Applauding each gain ami regretting each pain, For the sake of the days long ago. Above all the huge city dailies With penderoßS utterance wise This scant page hath power o spread out foj an hour A fairy land swee to mine eyes. ( HABLES MoRF.AV 11AKGER.

The old gentleman, whose war record was to put the “Atlanta gang” in the Governors office, and who started out to‘‘sweep the state from the mountains to the sea board,” is already tired and with a weary eye h* gazes longingly in to th*‘’state of Dade“ and wonders if he will cover even that much teritory—and Tatum say* “No.” His boom is “swunk” and Atlan ta’s hope* are busted . Many Evans m*u wonder “why’ Mr, Max Meyerhardt, the papa of the Max Meyerhardt Evaua Club of Rome, signs his own name te all Evans matter while to his oth er beautiful writings be sign* his' nonde plunge ‘,'Scribler.” Thb Hua. tlih or Romh will give him *pace to explain this to the masses—un less he prsfurs to confin* his re marks to the few people who readj I th* “morning Jonah.” I THE HUSTLER OF ROME, SUNDAY MARCH 18. 1894. IN THE WIREGRASS. In a private lett*r to the editor of the Georgia Crteker, one of the most influential and best posted publicans in South Georgia says: "When the roll es the delegates to the gubernatorial aonvention is made up you will find the Wire grass in the Atkinson column. We are leaving the blowing to the Evans men, but the Atkinson •rowd are sawing wood and saying ■ ething.” The General visited the Agricultural Convention iu Bruns wick and did not ereate any en thusiasm whatever, and was not even surrounded by the usual gai g of toadies and back numbers. Hu gave out to the press ( hat he would probably address the convention, but did nut do so, probably be cause he received no invitation,” 1 “Paul Jones,” the Boston cluh man who started out naked and ‘ penniless to girdle the earth in one year and return to Boston with $5,000, has struck a snag at I Springfield, where he has been i jailed for a debt he contracted be fore he left the Hub. Mr. Jouen* by the way, is te have a rival in his peculiar trip. Miss May Ses sions, of Boston, announces that f she will beat him at his own game 1 She started from Boston on Satur ’ day under pretty much the same circumstances as those that ex.- 1 vironed Jones, except that she had on a pocket with $1 in it; and got as lar as Springfield that night.— Griffin News. • ATLANTA’S MAN. , '1 ho Constitu ion and the Jour- c nal are mortal enemies until they touch Rev. C, A. Evans and then they get together and slobber over i each other and fall on each others [ utek —Whose man is General Ev , ans?—Hustler or Rome. Whose man is General Evans? . Well, judging from the distance between the Constitution and the Journal in ail other matters out . i side of Atlanta and the nearness of the two papers upon all matters pertaining directly to Atlanta we conclude that the General must be Atlanta's man. —Buchanan Ban ner-Messenger. It has been stated that th* new associat* justice of the supreme court, Senator White,of Louisiana i* th* first Roman Catlioli* ever appointed to this bench. It is re called, itawever, that Rog*r Brooke Taney, who presided over the su preme court for nearly thirty years, was also a Roman Catholic. Few people realize the extent and area of some of our Western States Why. if the entire popula tion pf the United State* were placed in Kansas.

The Augusta Chronicle says that Gen.
