The convict lessees do not know “where they are at” until the in vestigation begun by Governor At kinson is concluded. It ha? been hinted that it was as a political move that the governor undertook the investiga; ion. It cannot be 'rue. It was nothing but due the state ami the lessees that the in vestigation should be held. Due to the state because the people should be informed as to the way their felons are kept and treated. Due to the lessees because gr®ss acts of cruelty have been charged to them and their agents. —Amer icus Herald . In Lady Charlott Bury’s diary of George IV.’s times, which has just been republished with addi tion* in London, there is a painful glimpse of the Kingas a bride groom. It is related that Queen Caroline said to Lady Charlotte: ‘‘Judge what it wa< to have a drunken husband on one’s wedding day, and one who passed the great er part of his bridal night under the grate, where he fell and where I left him.” The gossip regarding Mme. Pat ti’s retirement from public life has no foundation in fact. She has ar ranged to appear in opera in Lon don during the season of 1897. She has decided to accept the advice of several friends and allow a season o elapse before the engagement referred to above, and wdl enjoy pe.fect leisure in the interval. And then she will undoubtedly make another farowell tour of America. In the death of Representative William 11. Crain, Texas loses a Representative and the House a member of twelve years’ sta ding a d experience. Mr. Crain was a i Representative of more than aver- I age ability, and lus death will I prove a serious loss to the body of ; which he was a conspicuous mem ■ bar. Atlanta now' enjoys the distinc tion of having a young lady by i the name of Carrie Damm.—Dal ion Citizen. Judging from the account given of the Trocadero dance there last .week, a large number of citizens i there shaped their conduct in ac icordance with the young lady’s name. —Marietta Journal. Joseph H. Choate recently sea ted to a group of statesmen in Washington that he had never seen a game of poker played, had never attended a horse race and never traveled on a pass. “I wish I could ' say that!” exclaimed a Senator. ; “Why can’t ion?” cried Speaker i Reed. “Choate does.” The next thing Edison will be j inventing an attachment to his I discovery which makes Asmodeus j a back number in the supernatur |al line, which will pho ograph a mm’s th 'lights as well as his brains.

For down right donothingness, up-right indolence and deadlevel laziness, the Reed congress has a title to the bakery.

Ex-Governor Taylor of Tennes see declares himself in favor of “gold, silver, nickles, copper and a leetle more counterfeit.”—Ex- Governor Taylor pardoned enough convicts while he was Governor of of that State to guarantee his re election.

A KLUSTER Os BULL’S EYE SHOTS ______________ I dropped into see Ordinary John P. Davis this m irning and , thought it was raining. I forn 1 Floyd’s model young* ordinary right up to his eyes in work. I dont remember now to ever have entered the Ordinary's office and net found John P. Davis busy if he was in and he generally is in. The fact of the basinesA is John Davis never leaves his office an hour out of the business part of the day, unless some very im portant official business calls him out and away. * * * But what I was going to say was that when I asked for news, John Davis showed me a commission that bad just arrived through the mails. '‘This,’’ said he, is Squire John Rice’s latest commission as Notary Repub ; ic and Ex-Officio J. P.” Then he 'old me that he thought Squire Rice had served in this capacity for not less than 18 years and that he had in that time united in marriage more cou ples than had been married by any other Justice of the Peace in the State. Squire Rice is a ratlin’ good a l round. fellow anyhow . * * * I have been informed that the i whiskey license has been placed at I S4OO per annum and the license on I pool tables placed at a coed thous j and dollars. Seney has been pro | hibitionist for two years ant 1 ; feuess at this rate for license Seney w’ill continue dry. Surely no man could make money selling liquor lin a small place like Seney when the license ran so high. I * ¥ * I notice by this mrr lings Constitution that the State board ' of pardons have recomended Har ry Hills pardon, that an At anta , w fe has blovved up her husbands , home and kicked said husband all ■over a street and a half and two j vacant lots and that eighteen ; wives had applied for 18 ssperate , divorces. Atlanta is a city—a regu i lar metropolis, when it cames to 1 sensations. * » * A gentleman from near Seney, I writes me saying that a small hoy, an orphan boy at that, named Will , Harns, is now iu Floyd county I jail having been bound over some months agu by a Justice at Seney. I iHe says that the evidence against the boy is more than flimsy and I that now a grand jury has conven ed, he thinks the “kid” should be liberated. The boy, so my inform ant tells me, is alleged to have ■ tolen money from a residence and that the evidence failed to show that the boy had ever entered the house, that he had no money on him when arrested and that no trace of his having spent the mon ey or having ever had it in his poßS<g«ion had ever been shown. * * * One of the brigntest young boys in the city is muster Willie Quar a valued employee of Hand & Co s big g l . o‘ary store on Sec ond Ave Willie Quarle s is as full of life and energy as he is of earn estnes* and attentivness to his employers interests He is a lit tie man, unci every man who is a m tn and loves aheroic spirit should give this bright youngs er 'he en c >i.r igement ami tlie sym, any h* deserves. He is a manly boy an t i sue to win—but he can win easier if you encourage him. * * * About 8 ocloc < this morning 1 was still in bed noursing an ulcer ated sore throat and listening to the rain—Glenn Edd and ba by Phill came in and asked me what wis the trouble. I told him, the little felllow looked at me very earnestly and said : ‘ 1 wish 1 wer old enuff ter det der out fer yer .” I laughed and t 1 him he might get me some co y that 1 expected it would be a». improvement <>n some of my own. **» Quick as a flash Phill, aged 2 on Dec. 24th.., took a pencil from my desk and dropping on a flo r began marking all over a sheet oi paper. “What are you up to, young man;’’ I asked. “Dettii. toppy fer Jacco” came the reply from this practical youngster. “Ats not top py its stwiblin,” said Glenn Edd. “Taint stwiolin, its wi’in” came the emphatic retort —and then the little blue-eyed rascal proved his assertion by—his papa.
