When John Temple stuck hi fl head up there was a shower of rocks from the democrats —and Johnnie’s head is, more so than ever before, 1 a “sorehead.” Hon. William Clifton, of Chat I ham, is a candidate for secretary of the senate. Billy is a hustler from the head waters, and, it is thought, will make the landing this time.—Chattooga News. The next thing we all know, these rain makers will want to make the rain dear.— Atlanta Journal. Let them undertake to ‘‘buck” such a situation and see how soon their kako will be all ‘‘doe.” Dr. Felton has only about two months in which to beat Congress man Maddox.—Dalton Herald. Hence the people have measured the venerable Flopper and have built his political shroud for the final burial. John Bull may sneer at our lit erature, but that doesn’t alter the fact that , three-fourths cf the inventions used in book-binding are due to the ingenuity of Ameri can binders. Even the Cincinnati Commer cial Gazette, the Republican organ of Southwestern Ohio, says a tidal wave of trade revival is coming as a result of the passage of the new tariff bill. The demand in England for Ol ive Schreiner’s “Story o f an Afri can Farm” has made it necessary to print another addition of 5,000 copies, making inJail 75,000 thous and copies issued to date, f The abandonment of the Repub lican party by Senator Jo ips, of Nevada, on account of its attitude toward silver only goes to strength. an the Democracy in its fight for the free coinage of both me'als. The trouble with John Temple Graves is that somebody in an ill advised moment spoke of him as the ‘-successor of Henry Grady’ ’ He has done his little best te livr> up to this but the struggle has been too great.—Macon Telegraph Parson Felton in 1890 denounced the Alliance in all possible ways; now he is engaged in the attempt to out-Herod Herod, by swallowing Ocalaism, Watsonism, Weaverism. Coxeyism and all the other isms Athens Banner. There is plenty of room and a hearty welcome in the Populists camp for the Mugwumps of the land. Congressman Breckenridge con tinues to have his campaign troub les. t When Gov. Tillman becomes Senator Tilhnan, and collides with the Senatorial rules of courtesy, there will be what our British cousins would call a jolly smash. When the Talking Terror of South Carolina spies a rule of courtesy it inflames him as a red rag does a bull. An Irishman once saw upon a tombstone the old inscription, “Not dead, but sleeping.” “By Heavens,” said he, “if I was dead I wouldn’t be ashamed to own it.” That’s just what is the matter with Reuben Kolb over in Alabama. He’s politically dead and ashamed to own it.—Lagrange Graphic. In 1860, James Lewis Petigru. at one time attorney general o> his state, was asked for guidance to the South Carolina insane asy lum. He replied: “My dear sir, take any road ; you can’t go amiss ; the whole state is one vast insane asylum.” Poor Petigru is not liv ing now. —Augusta Herald. If a joint debate is arranged be tween Mr. Atkinson and Judge Hines, we will wager a bright,new silver dollar coined in |1894, and which is maintained on a parity with gol d.that the judge will wist he hadn’t ‘before Atkinson has spoken an hour.—Macon Tele- I graph. When her husband struck her, a Kentucky woman promptly shot him, and afterwards nursed the wounded man with womanly te; - derness and faithfullness.—Wal ton News. And when he died no more loyal hearted woman ever followed the remains of a loved one to the tomb. Poor widow. Jerry Simpson is on the nuskings in Kansas and is arraigning the Republicans, charging them with the responsibility with much of the legislation of the 53rd. Con gress.—Augusta Herald. “Huskings” is good—Let Jerry shuck and sing and make ’em stand to the rack fodder or no fod der—cornfound ’em. The Democrats of the 7th die trict have nominated Hon. Jiio. W. Maddox, to succeed himself in ti e 54th Congress. Congresman Mad dox made a faithful and true mem ber of the 53rd Congress ,and he will be elected and render distin guished service to his constituents and the state in the next Congress. He is opposed by Dr. Felton, but that amounts to very little.— Canton Advance. 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. •©THE BIGGEST# THING ROME -4-'4McDonaM-SpaFks-Stewart-Gompany.*«4- I ’iirnilure, Carpels,- Mib &. w We carry the largest stock in the state.
