An Irishman once saw upon a

“Not dead, but sleeping.” “By

I wouldn’t be ashamed to own it.”
That’s just what is the matter with

The Democrats of the 7th die
trict have nominated Hon. Jiio. W.
Maddox, to succeed himself in ti e
54th Congress. Congresman Mad

It is a little early to say who
will be the candidates for the
United States senate to succeed
Senator Gorden, but it is freely
stated that the general will be a
candidate to succeed himself, and
that Mr. Atkinson will be one of
his opponents. The Savannah
Press is among the papers that
think these two Georgians will be
contending factors in that race.
Should, in the course of human
events, these statesmen be pitted
against each other we will put our
money on the fearless, loyal and
true statesman of Coweta.
The Louisville Courier Journal
sizes up the situation in the South
as follows:
The Southern bank clearings in
creasing at of 36 per cent,
over last year; with Southern rail
roads showing an increase in earn
ings as compared with 1893, while
those of every other section show
a decrease; with big crops of cot
ton, corn .and wheat, and with
plenty of hog, hominy ’possums,
sweet potatoes, watermelons and
other luxuries to be had in season
for the comfort of the inner man,
we can’t understand how any Kan
sas or Nebraska or Great North
western victim of hot blaste, bliz
zards and great expectations can
keep away from Dixie.
THE SKEETERS.
The palmy day of the gay and
festive mosquito is here, and this
imp of pure, unadulterated cussed
ness is monarch of all he surveys.
Like the demon he is, he will creep
on you in the darkness of the night,
stab you with his keen and deadly
weapon, then daqce away, singing
in ghoulish glee.
When you seek the quiet and re
pose of an after dinner nap, the
fiendish buzzing of this imp of the
perverse will drive sweet repose
from drowsy lids, and rouse the
wrath of even a saint.
The thick folds of a net does not
avail against him, but with calcu
lating nicety he will find some
means of ingress.
There is no earthly way to arm
yourself to meet this unprincipled
inhabitant of the air. The only
thing you can, and will do, is to
swear. Swear you will with all th p
strength and venom of your soul,
but it availeth not.
But the ’skeeter continues to pa
rade the seven hills of Rome night
and day, and sings “Veni, Vidi,
Vici.”
Camp Meeting.
Sunday will be a big day at Mor
rison's Camp Grounds. Hundreds
in and around Rome will attend
the meetings, which commences
this morning and will continue till
next Friday. Many have tents on
the grounds in which tl ey will
stay during the time. Prominent
ministers from all over thejdistrict
will be in attendance. Those from
this city are: Revs. J. D. Gibson,
D. D., Geo. W. Nunnally, W. S
Stevens, M. L. Troutman, P. C
Fletcher, John W. Bale and S. A
Harris.
