Spring Makes Me ured
To many people Spring and its duties
ipenn an aching a hen 1 . tired limbs and
throbbing uervoa. Just as the milder

1 The rea«on for this condition is

lood During the winter, owing to
various ci o s, the blood becomes
■loaded w,fh impurities and losos its
richness and vitality. Consequently,
as soon as th- bracing effect o( oold

off energy. The cure will bo found in
xrarifving and enriching the blood.

Many States Will Exhibit.
President Collier of the Cotton‘States
and International Exposition bright states
that tbe outlook is exceedingly
for handsome exhibits from several
states. Pennsylvania, he said, had al
ready passed its appropriation bill and
would probably have a building
with a splendid exhibit. New York
appropriation bill carrying an appro
priation of $25,000 had already passed
one branch of the legislature and was
certain of passage. The Louisiana
legislature would provide for a build
ing and an exhibit. Arkansas had al
ready passed an appropriation bill and
would have a superb show. Alabama
was arranging for a good show. Flori
da would be well represented through
several private exhibits, notably the
Plant system.
President Collier eluted further that
he had recently received a highly
gratifying communication from the
commissioner from Costa I’ica, saying
that ho was en route to Atlanta to ar
range for the display of a magnificent
show of the resources of that country.
A legislator Resign 4 *.
Hon. W. H. Harrison, of Quitman,
for many years a member of tbe Geor
gia leginlature, and who won the title
of “watch dog of the treasury** years
ago, hae resigned his Beat in the pres
ent JeginJiifurc. No member of the
Georgia house is more widely krv»wn
than Mr. Harrison. He imw served in
eight or ten legiHlatureBand has always
figured prominently in the proceodings
itf that body. He was always watchful
of the people’s funds, and in that way
won his title. He was very prominent
in tho last legislature. He sent his
resignation to Governor Atkinson and
announced ns the reason of his resig
nation the fact that he had been given
a federal appointment which would
take him out of the state during tho
next Scanlon of the legislature. The
governor accepted the resignation and
expressed his regret that Mr. Harrison
ha<l seen tit to leave the services of tho
state. In tho letter accepting the re
signation Governor Atkinson also an
nounced that lie would not call an elec
tion for the naming of his successor
until after the crops were laid by and
the busy season was past. He stated
that he did not wish to interfere with
tho farmers by bringing on an election
in the midst of thoir work. The elec
tion will probably be held in August.
l.«-i«tli (»f Major Wallaro.
As gvtttly ami peacefully ft« ho had
lived for eiglity-niiio yiinrs. Major
f'ainpbell Wsllaco died at his home in
Atlanta last Friday night. Major
Wallace's death was tho result of no
illness. It was tho ending of a life
that had been spent, the fading of n
vital spark. Eighty-nine busy, useful,
honorable years had passed over his
head, and nature’s law demanded rec
ognition. His life bail been a busy
one. lip to four years before his
death it had been pressed full of du
ties duties to his family, to his state,
to his friends and to society. He led
a long and useful public career, made
his borne happy, gave help to tho
needy, happiness to his friends, limit
tip a largo personal fortune and be
earno known of all men as the possessor
of a noble, gentle, lovable character.
He did uot leave tho activities of
life until long after lie had lived out
man's allotted share of time. Nearly
five years ago he resigued from the
railroad commission to spend tho re
mainder of his days in quiet retire
incut.
The news of his death will bo ro
ooived with deep sorrow nil over the
south. No man in Georgia was hotter,
no life was ever more beautiful or
beneficent.

The members of tbe Tennessee leg
islature who voted against seating
Governor Turney and who declined to
be on the committees in charge of the
inauguration at Nashville spent the
day Wednesday at Chattanooga, the
guests of Col. Evans. The party went
to Lookout mountain, where they sat
down to a sumptuous repast. After
the feast Senator J. F. McCarron,
toastmaster, addressed tbe meeting
saying its object was to “renew alle
giance to the gallant lead- r who fought
the one-sided battle in Nov> mhcr. ”
When Colonel Evans was called up
on he was greeted with a storm of ap
plause. “I took the race,” said he,
“against my judgment and to attempt
a reform in the iniquitous ballot laws
of this state. What I charged against
the administration has b en proven.
It is rotten to thee re. 1 have point

“f have listened to the case careful

An incident related by thcanlhor of
“The Pearl of India," in his descrip
tion of the flora of Ceylon, is almost
uncanny, although we are assured that
it is true. It is about the mimosa, or
sensitive plant, and makes one almost
wonder whether the plant has intelli
gence. characters of
The doctor, one of the
the book, while sitting with the family
on the broad piazza, which formed the
front of the bungalow of a coffee
plantation, recognized a thrifty sensi
tive plant, and it was made the subject
of remark. He called his young
daughter of 11 years from the house.
“Lena,” said he, “go and kiss the
mimosa."
The child did so, laughing gleefully,
and came away. Tbe plant gave with no
token of shrinking from contact
the prettv child. ,
“Now ” said the host, “will you j
touch the plant’” approached it j
Rising to do so, wc and it
with one hand extended, before
had come fairly in contact the nearest
spray and leaves wilted visibly. said
“The plant knows the child,”
the doctor; “but yon are a stranger.”

A Lease for Dl)t)D Years.
A curious lease is on record in the
county court at Hebron, Ct. It is
one of the longest leases on record,
and for one of the oddest considera
tions. According to the docket tbe
“Society of the Propagation of the
Gospel of Foreign Parts” (the great
English Missionary Society) leasts
thirty acres of land to one S. W.
Chase and his heirs for tho term of
0990 years, The tentnre is held on
condition thnt tho said “Chase, or his
heirs, shall pay to John Sutton and J.
T. Peters, church wardens of said
society, or their successors in office,
one grain of pure silver, or other sil
ver, gold equivalent (if demanded), on
Ht. John's day of each ensuing year.”
There arc many curious and whimsi
cal tenures held in Great Britain,
France and Germany, but it is doubt
ful if the records of America can pro
duce anything equal to this long-lived
land lease, which will not terminate
until after the lapso of 9899 years from
the 25th of this month.
