Postum Hunting in Georgia.
Americas Recorder.

1AlleitSllS lN@COiACis
In Il barber shop one day last weak,
while several gentleman We're waiting
to be shaved, conversation turned on
good things to eat. After discussing va.
rlous dishes, Joe Roney, who is consid-
ereda connoisseur, aud who had taken
an active part in the discussion, said:
"Well, boys, yon can talk about nice
things to eat, but the best thing in the
word I evet tasted Mas postum, hedged
i'll brown gravy and sweet potatoes, with
sugar on them" Mr.. Walt Furlow in
vited us soon after to go out to his plan
tation and assist in a genuine old FASH
Toned possum hunt, with an hour or two
for the squirrels thrown i'll. The first
nights experience was a tame one; we
got into a dry place of wood and struck
but one possum track, but we got that
pOssum.
The next night, between eight and
nine O'Clock, we started ont. Down the
road we went, stopping long enough to
get a few handfuls of good lighter, and
then into the forest. Scarcely fifteen
minutes had elapsed before q bark was
heard, succeeded a few nom ents later
by another, and another. A trail had
been struck. The voices OF 1.-THE dogs grew
more frequent until at length long con
tinued bay from the %ringlcader an.
nounced that the pessum was freed. a
few moments walk brought us to him,
but the scene around the tree battles de.
scription. With bark after bark, the
dogs circled around, trying in vain to
climb up the sapling. A few blows from:
the ak prought the tree dawn, and the
next moment the possum was in the
jaws of the dogs, forty feet awav. He
had started to run as soon as the tree
fell, but the dogs ran TOO quickly. Az
soon as they had a taste of him they
were satisfied. 1t is remarkable, but a
possum dog will never eat Il possum or
the bones of one.
The same scene was repeated twice
more, varied by long tyamps through
swamps, C otton and corn fields. L .e
small hour, OF the morning had arrived
when VIC went to bed, but we consoled
ourselves with the thought Of the feast
we would have next day.
On a big dish in the center Of the ia.
Bile, brown and fat, the 'possum looked
good, but it was better than it looked.
1t was meat TT for kings, but which any
body could have for he trouble OF the
hunt. 1t was the first possum we ever
ate.
Joe Ronev was right. These is moth
ing that will beat the postum.

WILL GET WELL OF IT.

The discussion 10 already started relative
to prohibition 10 the next Republican State
platform. A few Of the cranky Impractical
bles declare that the party will never 20
back on prohibition I; that there are enough
prohibitionists in the party to carry ma
jority Of the delegates in q convention
and that II the party does not keep prohi-
bition 10 its platform, $1,000 Republicans
will vote against the ticket. But there are
only few Of this kind. Many ardent and
earnest prohibitionists acknowledge the
folly OF last fall, and are firmly opposed to
its repetition. They are willing to leave
the question to individual opinion, where
1t belongs. 1t Is noticeable that the anti.
prohibition Republicans do not ask that
their views be put into the plato IN. All
they want 10 that the question be left out,
and that every man be allowed his own
opinion upon the matter. 1t is pretty safe
to predict that the next platform will not
NEEDLE with prohibition. Another expert
ment like that of last fall would not only
result in another defeat, but thousands OF
Republicans would leave the party for
keeps. who intended to carry their protest
no further than refusing to vote the ticket
last fall.
During the congressional apportionment
discussion last winter, much was said about
the danger Of making this or that district
democratic. In this connection the Topeka
Commonwealth is publishing a series of ta-
bles that are eye openers. Ii shows that in
every one OF the congressional districts as
now formed, the opposition vote last fall
was greater than st. Johns vote and
therefore, with the same issue next year,
the opposition could elect every member
OF Congress. There is too much at stake
to fool IL away on cranky experiments

The Grand Army posts, OF Boston, have
voted to do away with all flowers or floral
emblems on Decoration day, the 30th Of
this month, and decorate simply with stars
and stripes. The reason of this is that
flowers in May are comparatively scarce
