If the Atlanta Gazett wiil furnish

known the name of its editor. With

ord of being a champion mud flinger

Right in front of theengine there!
Child was saved, but where was Jim?
With flaming lanterns they looked for him.
While the people trembled and held their

“ Under the engine, crushed to death!”
There in the dust and grime he lay—
Jim! .... he had given his life away!
Not much need of their tears for him—
“He was an angel—that boy Jim."

DEADLY CHEWING GUM.
Persons who practice the dis
gusting habit of chewing gum as a
harmless and imaginary beneficial
indulgence, and parents who give
it to little children, who invaria
bly swollow it, should take warn
ing from the following instance:
Miss Mary Brown, of Princess
Anne, 51 d., died Wednesday night
from the effects ot an opperation
for appendicitis. She had been ill
forseveial weeks, and Baltimore
specialists, who had been sum
moned, stated that some foreign
substance had lodged in the ap
pendix, and that an opperation
was necessary,
it was found that a small piece
of chewing gum. which the'young
wcman had swallowed, had found
iis wav into the appendix and
causi d her death.
Uncle Sam should snatch little
' Nicarauga baldheaded and spank th®
bosom of its pants until its noze

A negro of Dougherty 7 county,
seventy years old, had never board
ed a railroad train until Wednes
day last. He was then obliged to
make ajourney by rail, but before
leaving he made his will and de
clared. to his family that they
would never see him alive again.
—The Rome editors are howling
for a “soap factory.’’ Theßomai s
must be hard cases if they can’t
get soap enough to keep them clean
without having to build a factory.
—Dalton Argus.
Not so fast brother Shaver, the
Rome editors arrayed in their nice
democratic robes,are clamoring for
soap that they may wash, if it is
possible, the Riley Giddens stain
out of Whitfield’s political “Moth
er Hubbard.”

Dr. Felton reminds us of a story
told on Rouss, the world-famous
New York dry goods and notion
jobber. Rouss comm anded a com
pany in the Confederate army dur
ing the civil war, and on occasion
captured’a squad of Yankees. They
tendered their fire-arms to their
captor. “Damn your guns” said
Rouss, “turn over your haver
sacks!” That’s Felton. He says :
“Damn the platform ; give me the
office!’’ —Dalton Argus.
An Arkansas man the other day
rapped on his coffin just as the
minister was about to began the
burial service over him. A man in
the other room who thought some
one outside was knocking at the
door, yelled. “Come in/’ hearing
which the suppos a d dead man in
his coffin exclaimed : “what’s the
matter with yen? I am in already
and want to get out.” He finally
became so obstreperous that the
funeral bad to be postponed. The
above is areal grave joke of the
old reliable Kansas brand.
WHAT’S IN A NAME.
The next governor of Georgia,
will be Bill Atkinson, the next
president of the Senate
likely to be Bill Venable, the next
sneaker of the house will be Bill
Fleming.
But for his untimelv death the
next secretary of the Senate would
have been Bill Harris and if there
is anything in a name it would
seem that Bill Clifton is bound to
be nis successor.
It seems that quiet a number of
Bills are being presented to the
people. Will they all be honored
r >n the settlement?—A ugu st a
Chronicle.
