A FouSDLISG.-on Thursday morning
about sunrise, Mr. Z. Mackley, of Ayondale
Mill, three miles from this city, found on the
fence of his front yard a basket, which on
opening he found S contained nd ia. white ha.I female
covered with white muslin, sewed down on
the sides, and the child was wrapped in red
flannel. Mr.. NJ. took the basket and con.
tents into his residence, and Mrs. NJ. kindly
cared for the founding. The basket could
not have been placed there very long before
the discovery was made, as the child would
have persisted from the intense cold. The
case is to be investigated by the Grand Jury.

A youthful Preacher.
A Five-Year-Old Laborer in the
Vineyard.

The youngest preacher in the
world is now visiting some friends
in Edgefeld. His home is in Win
chester, Tennessee. He has preached
from one to five sermons per day
since his arrival in in this locality,
and will probably continue his la
bors during his entire stay. He is
little less than Zee gears cid, but
handles his text with some degree
of skill, and never fails to interest
/ his audience. Last Saturday, while
delivering a sermon to some of his
little playmates in his uncle's front
yard, quite a crowd of passers by
collected along the railing to heal
him. Wholly unabashed, the young
orator continued his sermon in reg
ular orthodox style, holding his au
dience for twenty minutes, if no
spell-bound, at least considerably IL
terested, and when his discourse
was finished, the audience was dis
missed with ali the ease, gao
ard solemnity of an ancien
divine.
The little fellow has become pos
sessed of the idea that he is a gen
uine preacher, and does not g
about it in a playful childish way

The disgraceful dishOnestysof the
petty Republican politicians, who are
trying to build themselves up by adj
vocaUins some local celebrity for
the presidency, in coupling the
name of B. Il. Bristow with that of
Andy johnson, will react upon them.
The effort is to show that the Re
publican party is so sectional that
no man born south of the Ohio riv-
er can be trusted. The insinuation
in naming johnson and Bristow to
gether is that johnson deceived the
Republicans, and therefore Bristow
cannot be trusted. This is the very
idiocy of malignant prejud. .ee and
brutal ignorance. johnson was a

GOLD AND COTTON GOODS.
The Way the Empire State of
South is Moving to the
Front.

Ground has been broken up for a
new and greater cotton mill at Co.
lumbus. Good. Let Augusta and
a hundred Other Georgia towns do
likewise. The new Columbus mill
is due to the indomitable enterprise
of a city that cannot be turned
down, and to the fact that mills amid
the cotton fields do pay, be the
times good or bad. The new mill
is no experiment. tt is to be mill
No. 3 of corporation that has
grown wealthy and strong in the
manufacture of cotton under our
sunny skies. 1t is to be the larg-
est mill in all the South, holding 2O,-
600 spindles and 600 looms. We
hope to see fifty more like it in
Georgia in the course of the next
five years. Columbus is leading the
way, and her example will yet make

The gold region of the State ex-
tends from the Blue Ridge in a
southwesterly direction to the Ala
bama line. 1t is large in extent
and rich in possibilities. The per-
sistent and successful efforts of a
few capitalists, combined with some
encouraging discoveries in Cobb
county, have recently awakened an
interest in our gold belt that bids
fair to rival the Black Hills excite
ment, which does not materialize
well. 1t may not rival the mania
that disposessed the Cherokees al
most as summarily as the gold hunt
ers of the Black Hills are oustine
Red Cloud and Spotted Tail, but il
may lead to very important results
1t is well known that there is s
vast amount of gold in Georgia, anC
the problem is how can it be ex
tracted from the soil and rocks tha
hold it, with profit? Instead of mi
ners who are simply adventurers,w w
need men who can erect stamps

The mines of Georgia contain a
much gold as those of more ia

jockey said:

The PuII-backs.
By WHEELING BOB

It's ever been the pan of man.
Fen since the days of Adam,
To criticise the latest style
Tnat's worn by Miss or Madam;
Now ] protest against this wrong,
And viii stop their foolish prattle;
For woman's wrongs I now espOuse,
And will for them do battle.
When was but a little boy,
The fact I well remember,
How ladies' dress was ridiculed
From New Year till December
The leg mutton sleeve did not
Meet masculine appreciation;
The lOw-necked dress with sleeves quite shOr
Received their condemnation.
Then, too, the head gear of those days,
The deep calash and bonnet.
Was criticised by fool and wit,
Was theme of poets sonnet.
The crinolne they used to wear,
Men never cease to talk of;
And bustles made of newspapers
They all the time made sport of.
Tll naught say of the bloomer style
OF short dress and wide breeches,
Which made some look like perfect fools,
And Others perfect witches;
Nor of the graceful Grecian bend,
Or Saratoga caper,
Which We're condemned throughout the lanC
By every single paper.
But for the prevalent style rll fight;
like the present Pull back;
1t pleases me, and must please all,
Except those who good sense lack.
If fair ones want to show their form
To US, why let them do it;
I'd ike to know what's better than
A trst-rate chance to view it!
Give us the present Pull back, then
The tighter tits the better
So long as it does rot impede
Or the lovely fair ones fetter,
Yes, let us have it right and tight
Forever let it flourish;
There's no style that pvc ever ever seen
l like so much to nOurish.

The Wrong Man.
BY CHARLES H. DAY


Grass Hollow was in a great state
of excitement. Ford's thorough
bred colt was missing, and the
whole town was up in arms to pur-
sue the thief and secure the return
of the fastest horse in all that re-
gion. Fast!-it was feeter than
the wind, and for a short distance
would outrun a locomotive under
full head of steam. Black Eagle
was a horse with a pedigree. So
every one said, but no one seemed
to know jnst what that pedigree
was. 1t was current in Grass Hol
low that the progenitors Of Black
Eagle had pressed the sands Of the
desert of Arabia, and won cups in
England, and great purses on Long
Island in the early days of Ameri-
can turf
There had been no such excite
ment in Grass Hollow since a John
Chinaman had appropriated to him
self the property of a Caucasian,
and thereupon taken a sudden de-
parture for the bright land Of the
hereafter. There was rapid
mounting of horses-the feetest in
all the Hollow-and, with the prom
ise to bring the "scallawag" back
the incensed frontiersmen and min
ers rode away in pursuit of their
human prey.
The second night afterward they
returned, the whole posse riding in
to town yelling at the top of their
voices. They rode in a body up tc
the door of the "Eldorado," the
most popular saloon in the place
and the leader, who seemed to act
as special guard over the captive
who was bound hand and foot tC
the glossy black steed, cried:
Here's your menagerie! Com'
out and see the animal!
Thereupon Tom Vance, the pro
prietor of the grocery, the most i'm
portant man in the town, came out
and to the inquiry: "Well, Tom

Two.

Two little girls are better than one,
Two little boys can double the fun,
Two little birds can build a fine nest,
Two little arms can love mother best;
Two little ponies must go to the span,
Two little pockets has my little man;
Two little eyes to open and close,
Two little ears and one little nose;
Two little elbows dimpled and sweet,
Two little shoes on two little feet;
Two little cheeks with a rose shut in,
Two little lips and one little chin;
Two little shoulders chubby and strong,
Two little feet running all the day long;
Two little prayers does my darling say,
Twice does she kneel at my side each day
Two little folded hands soft and brown,
Two little eyelids cast meekly down;
And two little angels guard him in bed

We regret TO learn of the death of Sarah
b., wife of Zenas G. Ellis, ESQ.,, which
occurred at her residence in Fsirhaven on
Friday. She was the daughter of the late
Edward Dyer, esq, of Rutland, and sis-
ter of our to wnsman Horace ii. Dyer,
esq. She was married to Zenas @. Ellis
in 1917. For years she has been a great
though patient sufferer, and had sought re-
lief IN various ways, having been for long
periods under the care OF DR.. Strong, OF
the Remedial institute at Saratoga, and her
friends hoped for her ultimate recovery.
She was woman of remarkable traits of
character and estimable in all the relations
of life, and held in. high esteem by all
who knew her. In her family she was
most tenderly loved as an affectionate
wife and kind mother. She leaves four
sons to whom she was devoted, and who
have shown in their manhood the early
training of well ordered home. Her
husband and children in this hour of their
great sorrow have the coincidence of the
whole community in which she had so long
made her residence, and large circle of
friends in Rutland and elsewhere.
The funeral will be attended from the
residence of MIR. Ellis on Monday after
noon at $3.50 o'clock. Friends from Rut-
land can leave on the $3.50 p. m. train and
return in the evening.
