The Easier bonnet joke is old And worn quite to a shred; But spite of everything you say Its always near the head. —Chicago Inter-Ocean. “I shall not have au savter bonnet. Although my heart is set upon it; Nor eve i» n w Easter hat— There isn’t room in eiir fiat.’, Detroit Free Press. “I must, ’ she said, “have an Easter bonnet; Don't tell me no, for I’m bent upen it.” He larily blew some rings of smoke.

Last night Rev. G. T. Goetchius ’ preachedon sin, Folly and the Dan ger of Delay and it ia a pity even unsaved person in Rome did not f hear him. Surely business is not so pressing that a couple of hours daily cant be given to these ser vices at 4 and 7 .-30 p. m. Before General Evans entered the campaign, Mr. Frank L. Stan ton delighted the public three times a day and four times on Sundays with as many bright IP— tie jokes about “war records/* Now a’so, Stanton has been “muzzled.** Meofier his sympa'hy to Max Meyerhardt, papa and wet nurse to I the Max Meyerhardt.

If General Evans is as ashamed of his age, aa his papers are he must feel mighty little running for office All the cuts published of him arc from photos of the long, long ago. The Atlanta Journal of last night published the cuts of Evans and At kinson: Atkinson of today and Evans of a generation ago.

' The Atkinson papers, says Americus Times Recorder, all con tain campa n supplements telling .f the vast strength and wonderful exploits of the Coweta statesman, Toombs, Stephens and Hill were pigmies as compared with Win, Y.

We feel sorry for a paper’not able to compete with its own con temporary. It sees fit to revamp a lot of rot about Col. Oates, who is to day one of the grandest men in the State and has always stood firm for democratic principles. If if propsoses to eternally condemn democratic men and measures, we think she ought to get out of t the ranks of the democratic press. We are going to stand by the admin istration in our State and do not need the Constitution to teach us the policy and polities of the Hon. Wm. C.—Geneva (Ala ,) Mirror. A CAMPAIGN JOKE, The Jonesboro Enterprise gives the snap away in the following style: It is rumoied that the third party men in several counties, in this immediate section, has deter m ned to do all they can to secure the nomination of Mr. Atkinion for governor. They consider Mr. Aikmeon much the weaker of th 4 Jwo candidates, and hope to nomi nate and then desert him for their man,—Griffin Call The above is a “fair to medium’’ specimen of the campaign fodder from the Evans organs. Os course the Evans papers who reproduce it mean it to go to the public as a joko on the third party, none of whom ferget that 80.000 majority in 92. Where was Evans “at” in those stormy days? BACON GAINING GROUND. Hon. A, O. Baton, candidate for the United Stales Senate, visited Gwinnett eounty last week. He ex pressed himse’f as being encouraged over the prospect of his success; and in Gwinnett was greatly pleased with the cordial welcome extended him, with the assurances of support irom old and new friends. Maj. Bacon will ceme to Walton in the near future. His candidacy in our county will of course meet with much favor, since he has a legion of friends in our county. Os a nmubcn-of able and distin guished men who have been men tioned in connection with the high office to which he aspires he is one of t e ab sst and most popular. The citizens r»f New Town ara ap pealing fur police protection They i_e< d it, are entitled to it, and should have it, The flavor of “Hall's Half- Acre” is spreading itself abeut the suburbs. —Brunswick Times. Sam Jones draws a distinction be tween a Nigger and a Negro. A Nig ger is a black rascal that steals chick ens, while a Negro is a colored mar. Perhaps he makes a simi’ r distinc tion between ,‘aawciety“ an 1 sjciety. —Americus Timas Recordn. The Brunswick Times-Advertis r sizes it up about right in the follow ing “The matter of fact details of the Breckinridge Pollard scandal may puzzle the jury, but it leaves the en tire country with the idea that Breck inridgo is an old rascal and Mit>s Pol laid an easy graceless girl.” Friends of General Evans appear horrified when they hear Bill Atkin son modestly telling of his services to the State. They ery “Egotism.” But no matter—the,people of Geor gia love the orphaned plow-boy who has successfully passed every ob struction which has confronted him in the pathway of public life, and ‘‘plain Bill” is going to be governor. —Walton News. General Evans in his first debate s id that 100 counties and over 100 newspn "I’3 have ca’ ed him. Gen eral Evans seems Io be more of a politician than he is a minister of the Gospel after all- Will he name 50 weekly papers that are fighting his battles? As to the counties, why the old man is in his dotage. He will do powerful wall if he gets even 40 counties. lhe peep!# es Rome read Th Hustler of Rvme in the evening and then wait for the next issue the next afternoon, to get the news lha city would certainly support a good morning paper if it could be had.
