I Now that Atlanta has enacted a no-hat ordinance fcr her lady the atre-goers why not add a between the-acts amendment f >r the men? Since Mat Quay has announced that he don’t want to be U, S. , senator, they say of a Pennsylva nian who declines political honors, that he has gone Quayzy. Six Indian girls have come from Alaska to thi Car'isle Indian school. They reek a treasure more mperishable than ail the gold of the Klondike. ( OLD IN BARNATO’S BODY. A German paper is responsible for the announcement that Bar , ney Barnato, sti 1 more than the legendary king of Peru, who was wont to have his body gilded afresh , every morning, deserved the title of El Dorado—the “Mau of Gold” , —not'because of his wealth or of bis connectii n with gold mines, but because his system actually secreted gold. He was, says this credible authority, the victim of a disease called metallitis, his blood being permeated with a powdery gold, as were his eys, nose, ears and ail of hi? mucous membrane. The pain caused by this condition was so intolerable that it is believ ed co have been the cause of his suicide. INCOMING OF GOLI). • We may or may not draw gold from England. That country holds a vast amount of American s>cu rilies with which it c»u d liqui date its ball uco of trade with us f that process should be .found cheaper than paymint in gold. But with our exports what they are and our imports so greatly reduced, a vast sum of gold must come to us from somewhere this year. 1 A first installment of it comes ■wwhnsen** ——— from Au *-*gl sh which is • ut in payment foi Galt ifo rma wheat This represents but a small 'rac-j lion of that great State's wlua’i pruducti* n.

That ten tquare miles of it. That ten square miles is now a vast wheat field, requiring 200 machines fir its harvesting. Did any equal area cf placer mines’ ever pay as that ngion does under intelligent cultivation? The most golden gold in the world is gram. New York World. I met Jenial Jovial Jule Wynt. on the train one day I hi? week,and 'he was telling me about a colored Baptist minister at Cartersville, who on last Sunday bap’ised ore hundred and seventeen (117) can didates in jus' thirteen minutes by the watch. This was burying them in water and resurrecting them in a st' rm. * * * I asked Jule how long bethought it would require for that stream at that muchly disturbed point to purify itself? to which he answer ed : “If its instinct is on a parity of 16 to 1, with its 'Titstinct, and the city of CaiK rsville don’t quar antine, then small pox and poli tics wou’d prove a picnic compar ed to ihe epidottiie that will ex tinct the human race in Sam Jones’ town.” Cartersville should vacci nate and not let any bt missed — not even the families of the vacci nat'ng physicians. * * * I don’t know of a city anywhere that is being so favorably spoken of as is Rome. In Chattanooga on Monday I had a score of men con gra'ulating me for having the very best town in the country, and even here in Atlanta, nearly every man I meet (after askii g about the chain gangs) asks me about Rome —and not less than half of them wants to know about “'Bill En**is.” * * * If every Roman who goes away from Rome would adopt Bill En nis’ plan of everlastingly booming Rome and Floyd county as the garden spot of the ear.h, aid the paradise of creation, Rome would soon take <>n a metropolitan at mosphere on a parity with Atlan ta, New York a d the Orioles of Baltimore. Bill is a Roman to the heart and as justly popular in Georgia as he is on his native heath. Long may he wave. *** But Rome certainly is riding on the wave just now. Her magnifi cent tax r. turn showing ht’s dene its share m focusing the popular gaze, and then her drummer boys, ever encroaching on jealously guarded territory of some other lily, do their share in creating an enviable fame for pluck, push and unconquerable enterprise. I am proud of my city ai d proud of the fact that Br iad street is fast un humping herself. * * 3 his convict question has over shadowed all others in tbe public mind of the state —aye —it has alarmed and aroused the people, mere or less, all over the Union. Northern papers do nut make a distinction as between the county gai gs of the mi -demeanor class anu th° s'ate camp in the felony or penal class. The result is that Ge rg'a is receivii » much just and much unjust criticism just now. **’ ; Since the repjrt caine out I < have received scores of letters from ■ everywhere, all commending— r while a few, from responsible par- CONDEMNED. tVhea an innocent man is condemned fo any crime he doesn’t lose hope IHs law- , yeis appeal from one XTX court to another.

Mrs. W. B. Duncan, of Arlington, Phelps Co Mo writes: “My husband took tour bottles of Dr Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery when he was (as he thought) almost into consumption, ami we were very thankful that such a medicine could be found I wish all persons troubled with coui.h would take it. Long may the ‘Golden Medical Discovery ’ and ‘ Favorite Prescription ' be made. I shall always recommend and praise these medicines.” All lung and bronchial diseases are cured by Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, because it supplies the system w ith healthy blood. It puts the vital forces into action and fills the circulation with the life-giving red corpuscles which builds up solid, mus cular flesh and healthy nerve-force. As a medical author, Dr. Pierce holds an eminent place in his profession. His great thousand-page illustrated book, ‘‘The Peo ple’s Common Sense Medical Adviser” is one of the standard medical works of the English language.

A gentleman here in Atlanta telle me that he has seen a letter from Col, Gress, head of.the Gress lum ber Co,, addressed to Frank J.
