UNKIND WORDS.

Pleadings cannot stay their mischief,
Tears cannot assuage eaoh wound,
Sorrow hovers o’er the places
Where unruly tongues are found.
Fed by frowns, the child of nature
Dems A moody, sullen air,
‘■lnafccenoe’’ gives place to boldness,
Joyfulness to grim despair.
Visions of a faithless lover,
Trusted while the trust proved vain—
'these cold words of careless meaning
Quick aroused to fresh, deep pain.
Sad. it is, to see the aged
Hurried to their graves of woe!
And 'hey whisper very often,
We are burdens, well we know
I'nkind words were belter
From the lip , of old and young;
Each kkpiild learn and heed the motto,

Atkinson speaks of his record, and
it is a brilliant one, and tbev eh ire

record, speaks of Lis 'battles, he is
called a hero! The majority of the j

The Evans Campaign fund has

of the state, That fund was created

be unnecessary,—Greensboro Her

When General Evans first started
on his fruitless search after guberna

serted that he was not running ou
sentiment, but those who heard his

the officers to haul in a towline ol

over thetaffrail. After pulling in forty
or fifty fathoms, which put his pa
tience severely to proof, as well as
every muscle of bis arms, he muttered
to himself: “Surely, it’s as long as to
day and to-morrow! It’s a good
week’s work for any five in the shin.
Bad luck to the leg or the arm it'll
leave at last. What! more yet?
Och, murder! the say’s midbty deep

similar strain, and conceiving there
was little probability of the comple

war, or if he has. his democratic
friends have failed to find it.
Gen. Evans, when he firs! met the
Coweta Boanerges on the stump, de
clared that he was guilty of gross disre
spect to the will of the peoj le in be
coming a candidate against him be
cause the people had called him
spontaneously from all over the state
and he was not seeking the gratifica
tion of any personal ambition, but
only yielded to this universal de
mand.
In viiw of this, it seems real funny
how much low squatting heavy lifting
and loud grunting it takes to keepup
thi p uitaneous uprising The "ava
lancui “ about which we heard so
much actually came to a dead stop
aud now it is taking all the General
and alibis managers, boomers and
prospective legatees of the nice places
under the coming adininistratisu can
do to get the thing in motion again
It seems to be a big job to get the
avalanche to roll up lull. In this it is
only following the characteristics es
all avalanches, for in all the histen
of the w >rld one has -never been
known to do*it
The fires ran so he other day
that it become necessray to do some
thing, and that with suddenness, and
■so the general’s friends in Atlanta
were called together to see what
could be done to get the sinews o<
wa?', and then one of the solid bv. -
iness men who tok a 1 u-in s
instead of a sentii. enad view of t 1 e
siiuatiou said it was his opinion tluq.
the men who expected to profit by
the election of Gen. Evans, of whom
he was not one, ought Jto come
down with the dust.
And then somebody suggested
that the General wsuld be most bene
fited and that he ought to come down
first to the tune of about $ 1,000, As
the general has been brought up i n
the church and knows all about how
important it is to discipline that
the ssessments should be promply
methe made no murmur but did as
was bid.
The result of this exceedingly
business-like meeting was at once
apparent. The Atlanta papers,
which had been getting a little
slick, at once began to caper and
prance “mo earner dan a bay coli
in a barley patch,” as Uncle Ke
mus would say, and several week
lies which had been sitting up ou
the fence swinging their legs in
utter indifference as to whether we
had any governor at all this year,
•suddenly discovered that the sta r e
would never survive the fearful
dangers which confronted it un
less Gen. Evans was put at the
helm,
All this is a campaign that was
started by the people and was ab
solutely spontaneous. It is very,
vary funny.
A man went to the grocery in

he took every left hand road he
