The “Lion of Lucern” has joined the “Atlanta Ring ’’ Who is now the papa of the Ev ans Club in Rome? Where was the “Atlanta Condi date” in the Third Party war? Sister Least and Tom Watson seem to haye flocked out of the field. Coxey will return to Ohio and • run on his “war record.” for Con gress. ‘•Armies” that march on Wash ington will in the future, “keep off the gross. According to size a mustard plas ter is a greater artist than a mule — it draws more. many a couple never know each other untill after they have been married for a year or so. Big fat pocket books of the long ago have been riding on a bike— and tell off away off at that- Coxey’s army may be unemploy ed, but for some days Messrs Coxey, Brown & Jones have been quite busy. flow many clubs did General Evans ever organize for democra cy? Will Max slip his“muzzle’’ and tell us? The Albany Herald says that while it is known as a red metal, ibei-e- is a vast difference between a red bug and a gold bug. Ohio and lowa seems to be mark ing a corner on the Lynching mark et—at lea«t, they have the latest fig ures, dead, streight with bright fu tures . It’s “nip and tuck” between Col. D. B. Hamilton and Max Meyer hardt, as to who shall be the lead er of the Max Meyerhardt Evans Club of Rome. The interesting part of the Evans Campaign will come if Tom Cobb and Tom Felder speak against each other for the Atlanta solicitorship.— Griffin News. The longest train ever hauled by a single engine in America, was on the Beadiugliii f .lt contained 250 empty cars, and was a mile and a quarter in length. What a pic me for Coxey ites, A Possum Trott dude lost his job on account of smoking cigar ette. He knows all about the “saw;” where there's so much smoke theres bound to be some fire. The burglar who strikes an edi tor fora stake should “go through” bis clothing before his wife looks lor them fifteen cents to pay for a pound of steak and a nickle soup bone.

Moore’s Singing Con vention will convene at the Baptist in Cave Spring on the 3rd Saturday and Sunday in May in stead of the 4th as advertised. —Cave- Spring Herald. All this talk of “reforming the ju. dietary,” coming from the partisans of Gen. Evans, might be felicitously amended by a motion to reform those whe are slandering the judiciary.— Savannah Dispatch. The ground swell for Evaus in Georgia has shrunk until it is far below the sea level. —Rmgold New South. Right you are Trox and and the Mermaids are playing with its whiskers. Os the late Martha G; Kimball, who first suggested Decoration Day, George W. Childs once remarked; ‘ -he has done more good deeds and said more kind words than any wo man I have ever known,” Tom Watson is no fool. He has no idea of running for Governor of Georgia. He prefers to be the Third Party leader and editor, to being a defeated candidate for of fice. —Albany Herald. If Hamlet had lived in Oklahoma he would not have complained of “the law‘a delay.” The boys of that young city ran the bank cashiers out of town and held down the president untill the depositors got their money back. The Executive Committee of the Max Meyerhardt Evans Club begins to realize that they can’t “control” the wool hat boys of Eloyd. The privates and the wool hats are for W. Y. Atkinsi n. That’s what! Husband (vituperatively)—l was a fool when I married yon, Mary Wife(quietly)—Yes Tom I know you were. But what could I do? You seemed my only chance, and I thought then that you mighi improve a little with time.—Grip. General Evans’ friends say that he is a brainier man than Mr. At kinson ; but the former has lived nearly twice as long as the latter and no one can prove the truth of this assertion from the records.— Milledgeville Moone. The Executive Committee of.the Evans Club, met in the office of Max Meyerhardt, daddy of the club, on Friday afternoon, pursu ant to a call published in the •‘Jonah”—at least, three of them did, and had “a en-jaw-able time. Gold leaf, when beaten into the thickness of one two-hundrd and fifty thousandth of an inch, appears to be of a beautiful green when held up to the light. When the “gold bugs” have been ‘sat updn”by the people in ti e next general election they will be thinner, in fact so much thinner, that they will look blue. One good brother says: “stop The Hustier, it is too Byrd-ing some.” Then straight way our canvasser seeketh out twenty who 'pen tneir mouths and say : “Phill our names into your routes, and Bvrd-en us to the tune of 10 cents a week—for we must have the news .’’And thus do our rolls swell. A Jacksonville bookseller who offered for sale prints of the fa mous paintings of Rubens has been convicted of ‘‘selling lewd, lascivious and obscene pictures,” by a Florida jury. It was a Flori» da jury also which decided that the Corbett Mitchell fight was not a fight. The average Florida juror ’ is an artist who may be depended ‘ on to make surprising discoveries. 1 —Albany Herald,. | ’ THE HUSTLER O- ROME. SUNDAY MAY 6, 1894.

Atkinson is all right in Cherokee jet*—Cherokee Advance. A few Evans counties act tomorrow Cherokee and some other Atkinson counties act on Saturday of next week.—Canton Advance. The girl who makes a good match is the one who fires a man’s heart- Augusta News. And who, after marriage never strikes him fora ten, or with a rolling pen. With Mafia in Lousiana, Anarchy in Kansas and Coxeyism in Washington what next, we wonder!—Augusta News. Why, its time to smash the “At lanta ring”—and we are going to do it too—and at wunst. What General Evans now needs is some one to furnish him “pioof’ that will sustain his charges against the Georgia Judiciary. Whats that corruption campaign fund for in Atlanta?—Hustler of Rome. Hush Phill! If you give them the tip, that campaign corruption fund will be potent enough to hire some Atlanta man to swear ihat the charges against the judiciary are true, and you know how some At lanta men can lie.—Cave Spring Herald. ■■■ll li ■ I ■ ■ I lull ■ Secretary of the Interior Smith’s paper, the Atlanta Journal, will nev er force the democracy of Georgia to swallow the present administration; neither will “Secretaby of the Exte rior ’ Howel’s paper force the state democracy to impeach President Cleveland—nor will the combined influnce of these rabid partizans put General Evans’ the “Atlanta Candi date” in the Governor's chair. When Georgia’s Democracy assembles in gubernatorial convention, it will be found on the National Democratic platform, as promulgated at Chicago in ’92 —It will be there and there to stay and the influence that tries to lead it off at either side will receive a black eye.

I’A RA RA COBB IN CANTON. Editor Perry, in commenting on the , Canton speech of Ta Ku Ra Cobb , which was dehverde in Cherokee on • last Tuesday, to less thaujone hundred t people— the Constatutions glowing , report to the contrary, uses this lan guage; “In his efforts tu excuse Gen.Ev nans from the report that he contrib utes SI,OOO to defeat another Demo crat Mr Ccnb utterly failed. The as sertivn that the General has paid less than SSO is weak aud does not ap - proach a denial. The J Advance and other papers has bad nothing to say about what the General has paid. Not a word. We merely said that he sub scribed SI,OOO, That’s all, aud we are not advised that the General has ever yet denied it,—and Orator Cobb does not either. The mere assertion that Gen Ev ans has not paid SI,OOO to the cam paign fund docsnot satisfy the peo dle.lt makes lio diflereni e who paid the money no man wifi deny that Gen. Evans subscribed it. It has been • S uggested that if Gen.

Th se old fiailiar fields were bloominglie, Thtdr welcome to my wandering wearied eye The sweet lipped flowers fling a fragrant noil To greet me as I cross the well worn sod. Here with the first song of the meadow lark, A child I use to roam, and happy mark The rising of the sun and greet with lusty cry The plow boy as he lazily passed by. Not then to me the sun, the sign Os days and years e're which to pine For wasted strength- for hopes beyond my ■ ace, And womanhood wearied with a fruitless chase. Here is th c urehyard where we stood. Mute children, as the grave received Its food, And wandered at the tears strong manhoon shed ■When loved ones filled the casket of the dead. How near the stream of wisdom then we stood How farther wandered as we grew to woman hood. The datkness falling on the hallowed ground, Embraces each beloved, remembered mound And hides those others which tne rising sun Will call my eyes to scatter tears upon. What playmate sleeps beneath me even here, As sinking on some mortals verdent bier, I fall to dieamingover things that have Been loved, and loving still, with tears I lave. What staunch true, girlish friend lies sleep ing here Aud feels my heart throb and recleves my tear? What sturdy lad has grown to manhoods years And dying gained no tribute but the tears That friendship dropped upon his grave? What sunny maiden—bashful as he gave To her the first sweet, rose orchard fruit Has here disarmed the jealousy of suits And yeilded to the grave the sweet embrace That honest manhood envied for its grace? Oh I Memory I how sharp doth pierce thy sting. And yet what joy its fiercest pang doth bring: The wasted hours of youth and pleasures vile Have joy aud sorrow in their dim profile. What happiness d< th well up In ths heart At all the sports in which we took a part What sharp remorse that youth has failed to bend To burdens early and its self defend, By leaving rarely, lightened to the end. And with the knowledge of our cares does come A holy sympathy for all who from Our chidhoods hills have trod ths well wort earth And love is sweeter for in sorrow than iu mirth. Tis late e’re virtue do our joys enhance. How proper to the age the careless glance That childhood throws along the flowered way, When gladdened by the colors fresh display. He hurries on, nor seeks to win the flower Whose s mple beauty would delight the hour. And yet when from the wildered walks we rest And find that nature buoyei by no guest. Has yeilded up its strength upon a waste! How sweet the memory of the way does taste ! And then bow sharp the sorrow that no bud Was plucked to give to weariness its sweat eat mood, Ah I let me sleep, and as a child, forget My wayward walk, or give me hope that yet I may retrace the way and from the field Lay on my breast the flower that shall yeild My souls its sweetest fragrance, or forge t kind heaven. My lifes sad fault, aud let me fall forgive - Into tha) sleep which I *st o’ertakos and fli ds That naught but death can raise ths tortured mind. MOBIN. Sweethert! Flower of my soul! love give me hope That all is not too late, but in the scope That merry yields to guilt I may regain Tne path that leads to thee Thus crying to the night, nntil the morn I lay unhappy 'neath a blooming them That marked a grave, An<!*then as forth, the sun Crept, welcoming me my ealy hounts upon I turned my burntng eyes upon the stone That marked the pillow of his head alone.

Timo and again he has been charged with assailing Gen. Evans because he was a minister of the gospel and a Christian gentlemen Now suppose we draw a paralel, each side of which we quote from an Evans paper ; And if an Atxin sen paper e?er used such lan guage as one of them contains; Rev.W.M.Bridges Col* D.

Macon News. Rome Tribune. Rev. W. M. Bridges is a minis ter and a county official, Rev. D. B. Hamilton is a minster and a member of the State Democratic Executive Committee. Each has a citizens right and these is yet to be found an Atksnson paper, that would stoop to style either of them or the Rev. Clement A. Evans a “Sky Pilot.’’ As ‘o the charges that Mr. Brid ges is supporting Mr. Atkinson be cause he wants to be a State School Commissioner, the Atkin* son papers, if they would stoop to the same plain, could charge rhat “Sky Pilot” Hamilton was for * Sky Pilot” Evans because he wanted to be City Court Judge.— 1 here would be as much truth in the one as the other. The Atkinson papers and people would scorn to resort to such methods to fight the Iriends and supporters of any demoerrt. Stop it! Gen. Evans seems to be greatly bewilded over the idea of the judges and solicitor’s being for Col. Atkinson. It? not the courts that’s troubling the Gen., but the verdict of the jury which meets ol the ord of Aug., and will read “thusly:” we. the jury find the Gen, guilty of not having Jvotes enough to secure him the nomination. r- i * h .vine, or cUu Ger , .
