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.

Evans Were Given Nests and A SETTING OK FRESH EGGS I; The “(Joionoe!’’Hatched ent 1,» Bid dies Willie the “General’* a Much Oder hen Listened to the Blanish e utsof a Rooster and quit ti e range 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 genuine" rattan rocker Wis—ll ■■■IIIMBI I — HI I ” ~~~1 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 L I * and the pet of Milledgeville.
