"Who’d a thunk it?’’—Dublin Post, The Constitution says the popu list at the state conventions—ne. groes, and republicans and all the ‘•dissatisfied democrats.’’ If bo, wiiat is the difference beteewn them and the Constitution?

Her husband, how ever, has changed his maiden name by making his wife’s family name his surname, so that his visiting cards now read, “Mr. Conwright Schriener*’’ Uncle Evan Howell’s friends in this part of Georgia were very much disappointed that he did not receive the populist nomina tion for governor. They claim that he was the logical candidat —the man who has made the pa - ty in Georgia. A woman in Kansas sued her em ployer for twelve years' service upon which she placed a valuatian of SI,OOO. He was a pretty shrewd farm er and he imme liadely paid the debt by marring the plaintiff, she is now wondering whether she got the best or the worst of the deal. Sixty four escapes from the Geor gia penitentiary [the lessees] in three years and a half are too many. When criminals are sent to the penitentiary for their crimes the opportunity to escape should be refuted to a mini mum. We need a governor ,with the firmness to look after such matter*.

Starnes, the penitentiary minis ter plenipotentiary for‘he Atlanta Evans management, was in Hall county last week plying his voca tion . He said it cost S6OO to carry Tel fair for Evans. He was sup plied with the needful to use in Gainesville and Hall county.— Meriwether Vindicator. 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 Cracker, THE TWO RECORDS. WHAT EACH CAND IDATE DID WHIL IN THE LEGISLATURE. Hon W Y. Atkinson was a mem ber of the legislature from Coweta county from 1886 to 1894. Hon C.A. Evans was State senator from Stewart eounty in 1859—60.

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. WITH TRUMPET AND DRUM.

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, —Eugene Field. 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. —Boston Globe. Continued Story tUAP - x about Bon Ami. THE LAUNDRY.
