Lilt'- _
Cemp Northen, Griffin. Ga,
Hay 28th :-I have been intend-:
j og to write to the Hustler for’
sometime and simply to disabuse
its mind if it was so abused since
you last went to camp, that in the
languag’ of Chariie Seay, ‘‘this
sporting life is too fast for me .
Charlie and I were on duty tc
gether and on adjoining pest. We
were brave sentinels too, we arrest
■ed the milk wagon man and told
him that a pint of milk apiece was
the password, which he very grace
fvlly gave and passed on .
That night some very suspici
ous character attempted to pass
my line and of course I made a
charge and “halted” hi in in a tor e
that I would address a justice
court jury, which frightened him
so that be dropped a jug of beer
which he had, and passed through ;
the next man passed in double
time, I arrested the beer and rest
ed myself, and didn’t call for re
lief
All the beys are very popular
here, and our company ie the “on
ly” company in Camp.
Our Captain is major, and Lieu
tenant Jim, is adjutant, and Alf
Harper is Sergent Major.
Camn Nurtheu is a great place
and a place where you can learn a
thing or two if y<jq will keep your
eyes open, a? it is most drill time
I guess I had better “baft,’* with
beetwishes from the company to the
Hustler and also from myelf.
I am Truly Yows,
Wm. H. Smith.

A correspondant us the Macon
Telegraph tells this good story,
the scene of which ‘'lays’ in Mil
ledgeville :
When in Milledgeville yesterday
hunting filthy lucre for the great
and good Telegtepb, <ui. Scott told
me a good story on Mr and Mrs F,
B. Mappl There is notJa more charm
ing household in the state than that
of the Mapps. Air and Alts Mapp are
enthusiastic for Gen Evans. Board
ing with them are several lady teach'
ere of the Girls’ Industrul School, who
ure for Atkinson. Both claim the hon*
ors for their respective candidates
Every day they discussed the cam
paign. They were too refined and ele.
egant to bet on the issue of the con
test as the vulgar do.so Mrs Mapp,
practical in the ass irs of lite, be
thought herself of a very ingenious
method of testing the merits and abil
ities of the candidates. She had a
couple of hens going “siting’’ at
the same time One was older and
more matronly, and to her was given
the name of Gen. Evans, the other,
younger and more ambitious, was
name Col. Atkinson, The General
and the colonel were set tiie same
day, same hour, same number of
eggs. Airs. Alapp, being a woman
and not a polliticiau, old or new.
took no advantage. The candidates
were put on their merits. In her
heart Mrs. Mapp wished better luck
Ito the General, but she did not put
I vaseline od C< 1. Atkinson, as an At
lanta stump orator would have done,
so as to prevent her ®ugg from hatch
ing, but she gave both a fair trial
and wven chance, trusting to the old
er tten? her favorite, to act well her
part and decide the contest on the
Evans side. The General had the
prayer and sympa-hy of Mi's. Mapp
further than that she did not go. The
argreeinent was that Hie household
would abide the decision of the hens.
Gen. Evans sat for two A
provoking rooster, the hero ®f the
barnyard, always having a fancy for
Gen . Evans, undertook to interfere
and offer outside advice as to how
to get a wav with little Col. Atkinson
over in the corner. Seduced by his
.ntreaties, G.en. Evans began to tire
her own duties, which required

great singleness of purpose, and al
lowed herself to leave her nest and
take counsel and advi e from the
interfering chant e’eer. Mrs. Mapp
noticed with alarm tiie bud “breaks’>
of the general and on several occa
sions ran the pestiferous rooster
from the premises But the general |
just linaly quit her nest and took up ,
with the rooster.
The [u cky little colone', fight
•ng tier battle herself and know
ing tue work in hand, listened not
to the blandishments of a third
party. She was I n on accom
plishing something tor herself and
for her mistress. The result wa’s
the colonel came off her nest at
the end of three weeks with a
beautiful brood of fifteen little
biddies The laugh was on Mrs.
Mapp. The teachers guyed her,
and the girls of tho Industrial
School, finding out what had
transpired, came to visit Col, At
kinson and admire her and her
brood. The very rapture and ad
miration of *he girls worried Mrs.
Mapp, and more than once she,
was heard to mutter: "What did
the general pay any attention to
the seduction of that, abominable
rooster for?”
But that is not al.. The indus
trious colonel went to laying again
in a short white. Mrs. Mapp “sat”
her again. She hatched another
brood, and m-w both sets of chil
dren are following her.
The lady teachers interpret this
into prophesy and say it portends
that when Atkinson re governor
both parties will be one again and
come back and seek shelter under
one Democratic covering. This
view of it reconciles Mrs. Mapp
but she avows even yet that she
believes after ail there was out
side interference, aud that when
Starnes, the employe of the les
sees, was in Milledgeville to fix
things according to instructions,
that he invaded Ler. premesis by
nigM aud by steajth, mistaking
the geaeraj for. the colonel, defiled
the nest of the general, aud thus
bV this fou.l means .aud the uitduq
i attentions of the chanticleer al the
wrong season, favorite hen
the general, lost the contest.
Whatever the reasons. whether,
the general was misted by the roos
ter or disgusted with the “boodle”
spread oyer her egg-, or disposed
to seek her former life of ease, the
| fact remains that Colonel Atkim
soy is the heroine of the contest

Owenton, Ky.. Muy 28. —Con-
gressman Breckinridge and E. K.
Settle, oue of his opponents, ap
peared here this afternoon in joint
debate and addressed a crowd of
2,000 people.
The court house was inade
quate aud the speaking was held
in the yard. This is Settle’s own
conuty and he was received with
great enthusiasm.
Col. Breckinridge was rather
.coldly received. He told of his
'services in congress and bolulv
said it was a fool idea to swep
both horses while crossing < a
stream.
He spoke of the great fig't "for
tariff reform and urged upon hit
hearers the necessity of keeping ex
perienced men in congress in order
to accomplish that end. He dwelt on
his love and devotion for Owen coun
ty and her people and pud high tii
bute to her unfaltering Democracy
After speeking an hour CoLßt'cek-v
inridge'closed by uttering defiance
to his enemies,but expressing undy -
ing love for his friends.
There was great enthusiasm
when Settle arose to reply. A ban-1
uer was raised above him aud it
was several miantes before he
i could proceed. He promised if
‘ elected to return the trust uusul
' lied and without dishonor. Then
’ he branched uil iuto national is
sues. When Settle began speaking
’ a large crowd of women j outed the
audience ar.d were y»rofuseiti their
demonstrations of applause.

T.exingtoii, May 28.—C01. Breck

plause and it was several minutes
before the speaker could proceed,
Trie speech was delivered at Ver

“Breckinridge draws large
crowds because he is a dime muse
um moral freak, and morbid curi

and butter brigade are anxious to <
hear aud see him.” j]
