JUDGE WELBORN IN TOWNS.
One of General Evans’ big hur
rah plays, which be has been
making to the grand stand, is that
the Judges and Solicitors of the
State are all in a ring to fight him ;
in each county where he goes,
though, he is careful to exonerate
the Judge of that circuit. This has
resulted in his making the charge
against ihe Judiciary as a whole
and eating his words piecemeal.
In this connection we wish to call
attention to the Judge of this cir
cuit.
Towns county had a widely ad
v<Tti°ed mass meeting for la--t
Saturday, and when tho folks got
together it was found that the
crowd was largely for Atkinson.
When they were about to elect
delegates, Judge C. J. Wellborn
an Evans man who does uot live
iu that county, proceeded to argue
that it would be better to postpone
action to some future day, and
succeeded iu having the selection
of delegates deferred.
And yet all the Judges and So
licitors ‘are in a corrupt ring to
defeat” General Evans—Georgia

THE DAYS THAT ARE GONE.
WHITTEN FO.. IBt SUNDAY HUSTLES.
I sometimes think when the morning
Deeps forth from its crystal bars,
Os days that my heart re— ■ >ers
When earth like afa bird thone,
In her hula of mist and o ut;
Sweet days ! that are dead and gone:
Oh! such were the robes of summer,
And royal is autumn’s crown;
But soft it sighed through the zephyrs,
And it W’akes the forest’s moan,
That longing cry of the spirit,
For the days that are dead and gone.
■Tis well to be up and doing;
’Tie brave to be marching on;
Oh! the heart keeps time to the music
That lightly falls from the tongue
lu the days of our dreams heroic,
When we and our hearts were young.
Oh, laddie! with the brown hair waving.
From the pure, unwrinkled brow:
You may laugh your rippling laughter,
Aad sing as ye list today,
For there’s never a day before you.
That shall wear such bright array •
Yet to our clinging natures
Come-pleasures ami I the pain;
With regret that is not a sorrow,
With the shadow of a shade,V
We look through the mist of evening,
On the morning where we played.
Break, purple pomp of tho morning,
Out from the crys al bars,
I am gla 1 in yo n glowing ba tuty.
Though the heart man under one
Like a child half tired of pleasure’s,
Cries out for the dead and gone,
Minnie Lee Arnold.

come.
It’s this way thd that way they circle and
file—
My! but that music of theirs is ,fine!
Tais way and that way, and after a
while
They march straight into this heart of
mine—
a sturdy old heart, but it has to suc
cumb
To the blare of that trumpet and the beat of
that drum
Come on, li.tle people, from cot and from
hall!
This heart hath welcome aud room ;for you
all!
It will sing you its songs, and warm you
with its love, |
As your dear little arms with my arms
intertwine ;
It will rock you away to the dreamland
above;
( a jolly old heart is this heart of
mi >e,
And jollier still is its bound to become
W ien you blow that big trumpet snd beat
that red drum.
So, come! Though I see not this dear little
face,
And hear not his voice in this jubilent
place,
I know he . were happy to bid me en
shrine
His memory deep in my heart with your
play.
Ah, me! but a love that is sweeter than
mine
Holdeth |my boy in its keeping today.
And my heart is lonely; so little folks
come,
March in and make merry with trumpet and
drum,

DRIFTING.
We're out drifting in an open boat,
Just you and 1; Mi,
On the ocean of life we must now float
And live or die.
The waters are dancing in wild delight,
The ripples gleam;
The shimmering sea. in beauty blight,
Seems like a dream.
Where are we drifting oh, tell me, pray,
To harbor clear,
Or into the shadow’s, grim and gray,
■\V liere death is near?
Loose not the clasp of your hand, my dear,
Keep close to .te;
The darkness deepens, the rocks are near,
I cannot see.
But I feel your kiss, and I hear your voice,
I trust you. dear;
Though the storm king rages, I still rejoice
For you are near.
