SPEECH MAKING.
Among the Western Changers.

Weclip the following from the Laporte, Ind,
Herald, of June Goth. It will be seen that two
of our most distinguished neighbors, DIR. w.
II. White, of Atlanta, and Col. 3. NJ. Woolley,
formerly Of Selma, Ala. but Tow of Atlanta,
(known to fame as the Opium and Liquor An
tidote man, have been making little talk to
our ''brethering" of the West, at a Grange
meeting held the 18th ult. Col. B. NJ. Wool
ley, Nj. D., was introduced and in his usual and
forcible manner held that vast concourse SPELL

eloquence and wisdom that fell from his tongue,

DIR. White then addressed the meeting in his
humorous style and told them how glad he was

A nBito of Gossip.

A THIEF stole the bit out of the mouth of a
horse belonging to George York on Wednesday
while he had the animal hitched under shelter
He was kind enough to leave the bride reins.
He is doubtless the same man who stole acorns
from a blind pig. fhe wanted "bit" that
badly be should invest in a sewing machine,
lottery ticket or send for his mother-in-law to
come and stay week, and in either instance
we'll bet he would be "bit' severely, without
stealing 'fbitg from horses mouth. II
Steele. Jr., could get hold of his arm, he would
break him for stealing.

breathsd with vitality that made it grand
success. Aud while he was determined not to
make speech on this occasion, yet in his gem
ial, jolly mood, he talked freely of the speech
he intended TO make when he met those lovely,
College Temple girls at Newman, who had no
only inspired love for flowers, but for the fair
donors Of the handsome floral tribute to the
Banquet. We will be glad to note his rein-
qushment of bachelorism.

Clarke, sustained their reputation as courteous

means OF bringing together the Georgia Press
into intimate association, OF making acquain-
tances and friends, and you know it has been
said by an eminent Southern gentleman in Con-
gress-"My brethren, know one another and
you will love one another,"--which wa trust in
this instance will be prolific of valuable and
lasting results of harmony and good will.
Long live the Constitution and its able, clev-

shame and Insamy.

RADICAL Congressman Freeman
in order to gain bis denomination
practiced social equality by feasting
the negro delegates at his house. -
This is two instances of this kind 10
Georgia recently. May all such
miscreants be branded with eternal
infamy. Those who thus outrage
decency and insult Southern senti-
ment should be ostracised by white
people and denounced and scorned.
The issue must be met squarely and
white supremacy must be the motto.
IF they associate with negroes, then
they must be made to feel their own
shame and degradation.

upon making an incision into the arm the

MEssRs. EDITORS The Negro School,

ing in the city of Marietta and as near the Pub
lie Square as it could have been built, together

therein taught, deserves an observation or two
from somebody, and that duty Is assumed by
your correspondent. The negroscholars crowd
the City Park at recess, and verify there seems
no time when they do not crowd it, playing
their child-lilxe but boisterous and destructive
games. They are and should be welcome to
pass to and fro, but MOTTO make school yard

ing done in Marietta, Cobb county, all by Cobb
county men. One of the most attractive fea-
lures about the JOURNAL just now is the name
of Cobb county's most gifted son at its mast
head for Governor of Georgia. Well, if we
can Judge the whole country by our section and
then epfrauehse the ladies, Billy's election is
a. foregone conclusion. We do not mean that
the ladies' votes would be necessary to
elect him to any Office in the gift Of the people.
There is no man in the State we would more
gladly honor with our vote than the gallant An
derson of Cobb,
The crops in our neighborhood were never
better. We have had an abundance of rain
lately, which has brought up the weeds and
grass at once. The farmers have fought them
like heroes and in most cases victory has been
theirs. The wheat crop is small but Of the
very best quality. Oats little short but will
be pretty good crop Withall the prospect is
cheering. If the autumn brings with it as
abundant crops ofthe staff of life as the Spring
has brought out Patriots who are just itching to
serve their country in any capacity duty may
require but more especially in the National
Legislature, then we shall have money enough
to pay our debts and years subscription to

It makes me hoppin' mad to think
Ofall the thieves and stealln'
Among the folks that live SO high,
And are 20 big Of feelin';
With hands that do no sert O. work
Except to handle money,
And make it come so short O. count,
1t sartin isn't funny.
But bless me cant they dress and swell,
In lofty style and splendor,
On stealin's that don't sartin make
Their conscience over tender'
When they can feel SO high above
The smaller thieves and sinners.
Whose hen-roost s:ealin's wouldn't make
One OF their plainest dinners.
Folks mostly now begin ter think
SIGH loads O. silks and laces,
And jewels and grand carriages,
Means thievin' in high places;
And lofty airs don't count for much
In honest peoples fcelin's.
Who have ter work for all the cash
They gobble up in stealin's.
They say that Washington 10 jist
A den o. thieves together,
And they have plucked our eagle bird
Of every quill and feather;
And now they think to make it good
By taxin' us the greater,
When they had orter all be shot
Clean from the realms o. Natur.

The Little People.
By JOHN q. WHITTIER

BY JOHN q. WHITTIER.
A dreary place would be this earth
Were there nc little people in II;
The song OF life would lose It's mirth,
Were there no children to begin 1t.
No little forms like buds to grow,
And make the admiring heart surrender,
No little hands or breast and brow,
To keep the thrilling love-chords tender.
The sterner souls would grow more stern
Unieeling nature more inhuman,
And man 10 stole GOODNESS turn,
And woman would be less the woman.
Life g song, indeed, would lose its charm,
Were there no babies to begin it.
A doleful place this world would be,
Were there no little people in it.
