UNITED sTATEs ooURr JuDGEsHIr
Candidates Looming Up-CoIoneI Henry
p Farrow in the Field.

r arrow III the AtlO.
A reporter of the Constitution meeting
Colonel Henry p. Farrow, OF Brunswick,
in Atlanta, talked with him on the Judge
ship of the southern district of Georgia.
Colonel FarTOw is reported as saying that
he will be an applicant when the vacancy
occurs, and will use all honorable efforts
to secure the office. He thinks there will
be a spirited contest for it, participated IN
by Republicans and Democrats; and is of
the opinion that a Republican will be APP
pointed. He thinks he VIII have the
advantage Of any OF his competitors in
view of the fact that he has devoted
himself closely to his profession for twen-
ty-siX years, was Attorney General oil the
State of Georgia for four years, was Uni
ted States Attorney for the Northern and
the Southern Districts of Georgia for two
full terms of four years each, has the sup
port of the leading men of his own polltl-
cal party and of many prominent men OF
the opposite party. and last but not least
having at all times and under all clrcum-
stances since the surrender been pro-
nounced in the expression and advocacy
of his Republican principles and at the
same time tolerant and liberal to
those around him who entertained
and expressed other sentiments. He
says he will not disparage the
merits of other aspirants, but IN his eff
forts to get the office will rely upon his
own qualifications and claims for success.
Colonel FarrOw further remarked that the
high esteem for Judge Erskine, both per-
sonally and officially growing out of the
close relations which existed between
them during the eight years he was
United States Attorney in his courts,
would not permit him to enter into an ac-
tive canvass for the office ON mere rumor
that it was the Judges intention to resign,
but being convinced of his intention TO re-
tire from the bench he would enter the
canvass

Savannah "Reminiscences.

There are good many interesting st0-
ries floating about among our old citizens
respecting men who occupied positions of
social and professional prominence in
this CITY years ago. One of them that
was related in company of gentlemen
lately was about a doctor and lawyer,
both of whom long since went to their
reward.
1t was in the days when Haywood kept
his palatial barber shop, at the corner of
Bull and Bryan streets, place patron
lied by the leading spirits of the city.
LAWYER l.. was crossing from the Pu-
laski House to enjoy his morning shave,
when a horse galloping by, threw dirt in
his face: and some of it was projected
with considerable force into his eyes. Mr..
l.. proceeded to the barber shop and was
bathing his eyes, when his friend, DR.. H.,
stepped i'm to take his turn with the bar
Der. Seeing his friend engaged in bath
ing his eyes, he inquired what was the
matter, and on being informed offered his
services. In few minutes he wiped the
specks out Ofthe lawyers optics. Nothing
more was thought of the occurrence until
Mr.. l.. was reminded of it by
"A bill, "FOr services, $40" He told the
collector that there must be mistake;
that surely me doctor did not intend to
charge him for removing a speck of dirt
from his eye. The collector went of,
and returning said: "Dr. IL. says the
hin is correct every WE'LL" said the
lawyer, receipt the bill, here's the
money" The affair, for time, was con-
sidered the best joke of the season. About
a month after the lawyer was passing DR..
HIS office on South Broad street
when the latter espied him. OH
L., come in, have Just
bought piece of property, and am try
ing to make out what these papers mean.
Please read them over and tell me il they
are all right"
The lawyer sat down and carefully
read the title deeds, and returning them,
said they were ''all right"
On the first of the month the Doctor was
thunderstruck when he received bill
from the lawyer: ''To examining titles to
real estate. $50" Jumping into his buggy
he drove to LIS Office and asked what it
meant. The lawyer said the bill was cor
rect, and insisted on the Doctors paying
il. which he did.
This joke was considered just SIS better
than the first one,
Here is another;
Judge McA., distinguished member of
the Savannah bar fifty years ago, was
noted as a high liver, and also for his
heavy legal fees; he was, as some lawyers
still are, rather slow in his settlements.
Among his creditors was wine merchant,
an elegant old French gentleman, to whom
he owed bill amounting to over hum
dred dollars. one day Monsieur R,
who was a great admirer of his legal pat
ron, had trifling case in a Magistrates
court, and thinking of his distinguished
friend, asked the Judge to attend to the
case.
The merchant, however, settled the mat
ter before it came to trial. Meeting his
attorney on the street a few days after, he
told him he had settled the case, and
asked him what his fee would be. "Never
mind" replied the lawyer, that is all
right, Mr., RI owe you little bill just
balance the account"

citation, headed by the Guards Band, pro-
ceeded to the residence of their newly
married and popular young President,
Mr.. p. +. Gleason, and rendered him a
serenade. He acknowledged the cOmpli-
ment in a graceful manner by inviting

vases and a centre-table, Jumbo flower
stand and card receiver. Mr.. Gleason, in

could not express his thanks in words, but
would always treasure up the occasion
as one of the happiest OF bis life.
After drinking the health OF the bridal
twain. the association marched to the
residence of Mr.. f. A. Latfiteau, another
member who recently joined the army Of
Benedicts, and serenaded him. He well
coined the young men to his home, and
expressed his qualification at the kind
remembrance.
Mr. w. z. Bowling, in fitting address,
COMMUNICATED Mr.. Eatiteau upon his
union and wished for him, in the name Of
the association, many years OF happiness.
After tOasting the health oil Mr.. ana Mrs,
