A TRIP TO DALLAS.

DEAR JoURNAL-Midway Lodge,
|. o. G. T., according to invitation
on Friday morning, the 10th inst,
started with about twenty-five of her
members to attend the meeting of
Good Templars, Frcemasons and
Changers, at Dallas. After some
three hours hard riding, driving and
walking, we arrived at the point of
destination where we found a large
number of people, some wanting to
see, others wanting to be seen some
wanting to hear, others wishing to
be heard.
A procession was formed Of Ma
sons, Changers and TemplarS, who
marched from the Court House to
the place of speaking where very in
teresting addresses were delivered
by ShackIeford, Robinson and Les
ter. After the speaking dinner was
announced and eaten in such man
ner a as to show that all present land
especially the Midway boys were in
the enjoyment of the best of health.
The Good Templars were then in
vited to meet at the Court House for
the purpose of hearing speeches
from the representatives. The meet
ing was opened in the usual manner
and three candidates were initiated
as members of Leona Lodge. Then
came the speeches of the representa-
tives The presiding officer called
for the Dallas representative, but he
did not think his Key would fit then.
So he called for our W. c T., but
he was so a,Mayes ed that he could
not speak. He called for our chaps
lain who can always Hewitt exactly
to the line. The Harper of thou
sand strings then rose up and harped
very pleasantly for a few minutes
Then came the first named gem
tleman who began to unlock the
mysteries of temperance to the de
lighted audience during which sew
eral young ladies and gentlemen
(oae of whom this deponent was
which, retired to Foot's Hotel where
we found the foot business going on
at a very lively rate to the music of
the piano and fiddle, and oh the
toots, the beautiful feet, that danced
on the floor or stood in the streets.
BY this time the sun was growing
low and shades were growing long,
so We raked up our little remnant of
Lost Mountaineers and started home,
feeling as happy as big sun dover
that mods and bends in the breezes.
Truly thine, GORGE.
LOST MOUNTAIN, Ga.

WAS TEMPTED "A member of the
colorcd church was the other evening
conversing earnestly with an ac-
quaintance, and seeking to have him
change into better paths. but the
friend said that he was too often
tempted to permit him to become a
christian.
"Whar's yer backbone, dat ye
can't rose up and stand temptation y
exclaimed the good man. Il was
dat way myself once. Right in dis
yere town | had a chance to steal a
par O. boots--mighty nice ones, too.
Nobody was dar to see me, and |

"An' you didn't take 'em "
No, sah-not much. | took a

FRANKLIN'S MAXIMS.

Plow deep while sluggards sleep,
and you will have corn to sell and
to keep.
Pride is as loud beggar as want,
and great deal more saucy.
Silks and satins, scarlets and vel
vets, put out the kitchen fire.
Diligence is the mother of good
luck.
Pride breakfasted with plenty,
dined with poverty, aud supped With
infamy.
Extravaganza and improvidence
end at the prison door.
1t is easier to build two chimneys
than to keep one in fuel.
If you would know the value of
money, go and try to borrow some.
What maintains one vice would
bring up two children. He that
goes a borrowing, returns a sorrow
ing.
Rather so to bed supperless, than
rise in debt.
Sloth, like rust, consumes faster
than labor wears.
. Creditors have better memories
than debtors.
If you would have your business
done, go; if not, send.
Buy what thou needest not, and it
will oblige thee to sell thy necessa-
ries.

HIS FIRST RIDE ON THE KARs.

HIS FIRST RIDE ON The 'hA rs.
He was verdant mountain hoosier
ard wanted to ride on the "kars'
and was tired Of waiting for the Ma
rietta and North Georgia Railroad
to be completed. He boarded the
train, carefully seated himself and
held fast to the seat as the train
speeded on its way. 1t was a hot
day and he got awful thirsty.
''Where's that ere boy with the
water can 7" he queried of his next
ueighbor.
"He has gone forward to the bag
gage car, suppose" was the reply.
oval, dye pose | kin git him
back here again 2"
Certainly" said the other, "yOu
have only to ring for him !" and he
nodded toward the bell line that ran
above their heads.
No sooner said than done. Be.
fore any one could prevent it, Rustic
had seized the line and given it a
tremendous tug. The consequences
were at once obvious; three shrill
whistles were heard, half a dozen
brakemen ran to their posts, and the
train came to a standstiiI with a sud
denness tia, startled half the pas
ser gers with establishment, and caus
ed every man near window to look
out to see what was the matter.
In few minutes the conductor,
red and excited, came foaming into
the car to know who pulled that bell
rope.
Here, mister, this way ; I'm the
man." shouted the offender, drawing
all eyes upon him.
"You! y said the CONDUCTOR
"What did you do it for?'
Zoos | wanted some water"
"Wantcd some water ~
"Sartin; | wanted the water boy,
and my pardner here in the seat
said I'd better ring for him, as we
do at the hotel, an so | yanked the
rope. Willie be along soon? An
by the by, what in the thunder be
you stoppin' for ~
The shout of laughter that greeted
this honest confession was too much
for the conductor, and he had to
wait until he got his train under
way before he explained the mys
teries of the belI,rope to bis verdant
customer.

TIE young, college orator, is now
abroad in the land. His voice is
heard from the four quarters of the
earth, telling of the efforts he has
made for distinction in the past, and
his hopes and aspirations for the flu
ture. He is sanguine-far more
sanguine, than he will be few
years hence, when he shall have en-
countered and been conquered by
some of the stern realities Of life. -
Thus far his education has been only
theoretical; in the future 1t will be
practical. Whether the former shall
fit the subjects for the latter, the flu
ture alone can determine.

The "carrier," a little white boy
named Dempsey, from Rome, was
caught and confessed as to the party

beautiful white cross, about twelve
inches long and six in width, en-
twined with a variety of bright hued

WIVES who sulk may learn a les
son in season from the hard fate Of
Amanda Madison, a matron of New
Orleans. Amanda was indisposed
one fine morning not long ago. She
would not eat breakfast, she said.
Her husband insisted that she should.
But the more he insisted, the more
she wouldn't, James said to Amanda :
eff you won't eat, I'll blow your
ID brains out" evidently thinking
that, to a person who wouldn't eat,
brains were of no worldly use. AS
she obstinately refused, he was as
GOOD as his word. Amanda now has
a dangerous wound in her head and
James is in Jail. The result, i: will
be observed, is a small triumph for
woman's obstinacy, yet one not alto
gether unmixed for, while Aman
da carried her point and ate no
breakfast that morning, James, did
blow cut some of her brains. And
the game was hardly worth the can
die. -E.rchu1ge.

Or the one thousand four hundred
and forty>fve prisoners at Sing
Sing, New York, about one thousand
are idle, while at Auburn and Gin
ton fully one half are continually out
of work. Under such circumstances
the punishment of crime becomes a
very serious item of expense. We
suppose neither party in New York
would dare permit the convicts to be
used outside the prison walls in com.
petition with other labor.

is Hostetteis Stomach Bitters, which years
ago received the endorsement of the medical
profession, and was hailed by press and public
as the great renoyant aud preventive OF the age
Aud with good reason, since to the weakened
stomach it gives strength, to the torpid liver
activity, to the disoriered bowels regularity,
and to the shaken nervous system firmness and
tone. Under its benieuant Influence healthiu
vigor returns to the debitated and wasted
frame, faced muscles become compact the wan
aspect OF i'll health is replaced by hook Of cheer
fulness, the mind ceases to despond, and flesh
is developed upon the attenuated frame. There
is no exaggeraton in this stat ment. II is as
true as that the system is subject to disease.
