Geofgia Bonds. ~ -

The Atlanta Constitution says
that lest Thursday Governor Nc
Daniel had on hand bids 10 bhAs
amount of seventeen million dole
lars for Gaorgias issue of threar
aHda half million of five per-cent
bonds. .EGG .EaEA .gA Il
The bids averaged loo The
highest bid madesA by Fred
Wolfe went up abovep108, whichD
makes the bonds Al per cent. The
bid of Moses Taylor, & Co, of,
New York, makes the bonds about,
Al per cent These same bonds
in 1866 bore 7 per cent interest
and was then sold at such dis
count as carried the rate up to g.
per cent. The issue is now foated
at d per cent, which reduces the)
interest account just one-half. -
This remarkable sale is made
in the face of the most outrageous.
blackmailing operations in New.
York. Certain holders of the re-.
pudiated benas-ef Georgia in that
city selected certain Of the illegal
gold bearing bonds and advertised
2
them for sale at IS cents. The
clear intent of this was to produce
the impression that this was tho
ruling price of Georgia bonds, and
to discourage bidding on the new
issue. Pamphlets attacking the
credit of the state were mailed to,
all the banks and to leading finan- =
ciers, and nothing was left undone.
to make the new loan failure
How miserably the attempts fail
ed is shown by the bids in the
hands of the governor.
Here was seventeen million dol
lars that come a thousand miles
seeking an investment of less than
5 per cent. This does not Iookp
like there was scarcity ofmoney.v
On the contrary it indicates that
there IS an enormous amount OF
idle capital, anxious for o safe IN
vestmeng even at low figures. AS.
for Georgia's credit, it makes a
record that is simply unequaled.,
No state in the union has ever
made an issue of so large an amount
of u per cents. Indeed, with the
exception Of three southern states
that have issued compromise
bonds, we do not think any state
is floating Al per cent bond, The
credit of the old empire state is
founded on a rock, and nothing
can shake it, 7a 4a

A Texas Preacher.

perilous to do so, and they threat

him, but they couldn't. / was
told that on one occasion when
they told him they would whip
him with lariat if he dared to
preach, he mounted a rude plat
form and laid an open dirk knife
on the shelf beside his Bible, and
said: "My unpenitent friends, I
have come here to preach the gos-
pei and run the gospel mill; ann
a free, white American citizen; T
am twenty-one years of age; / have

Until we do so.

Athens, Ga, special to New
York World: The Holiness peo-
pie, who are. recruited from the
Southern Methodist church, are
holding a convention here which
is developing similar traits to
those of the Salvation Army. The
Rev. Miller Willis,one Of the men,
bers, accosted bank president on

paper. Stepping up to him Mr..
Willis, in warning oice,remark-
ed: "Cursed are the money-len-

Mr.. Willis met his match when

+ KISSES.
"Men ecorn to kiss among themselves,

Men scorn to kiss among themselves,
fg lis well that they refrain; be- "A soe,
If once they tried the bitter dose, T.
They ne'er would try again"
Thinking your chapter On
Kissing incomplete, l send a
verse | read several years ago in
answer to the one you published
his morning. What do you think
Of it?" 9at a# FLoR4
We think damn, sis. This Is
what we always think when we
open communication and find no
name Signed to it. We also think
that:
A kiss is the'acme of bliss
according to whom, and by whom it is
given, tf
But we are green on a subject like this,
/ AS bachelors life we are living.
But sis, when we do any kissing
(and we never neglect our oppor-
tunities; we always embrace them
especially when they come in the
shape of a lovely young female,)
you may depend that the osculato-
ry exercise will be inflicted upon a
pair of pouting, upturned, rosy
lips yum yuml
Kiss a man? Faugh! The very
thought makes us sick. But then,
as we stated in yesterdays issue
the women do two thirds of the
kissing they not only kiss the
men, but each other.
''For in kiss they breathe their arts
Of tritling prettily with human hearts +"
Yes, sis, there is no denying
the allegation if we do happen to
be the alligator. Kissing is pc
culiar institution of your sex-if
there were no women IN the world
there would be no kissing. But
doubtless one of the main reasons
why your sex are 80 fond of kiss
ing each other is just to tantalize
the men. A kiss is something that
can't be described, and the more
man tries to analyize one the
more he can't. The only success
full way to define a kiss is to take
one, and if you feel a tremor run
ming along your spinal column,
and every fibre in your body ting
ling with ecstactic bliss you are
IN love. Ii this phenomenon does
not occur yoy.T heart is all right.
Ana right here sis, we will give
you pointer. A girl never knows
for certain if she is in love with a
fellow until he has kissed her;
then the whole truth bursts upon
her as suddenly as the sun from
behind q summers cloud.
But sis, how did you learn:
''If they once tried the bitter dose
They ne'cr would try again"
II you are writing from expe-
rience we want to say right here,
we have never kissed you and you
will never know:
The ecst2tic bliss
Conferred by kiss.
Until we do so.

X. l. E. Interviews Statue-Grant
i'll Augusta.

X. ]. E. in Macon Telegraph.
The city is quiet again. Grant
has departed. The crowd that met
to celebrate the"Coming Author" :"
has dispersed, and the only figure
IN sight as | passed down Broad
street last night, was the marble
Confederates upon the monument,
four Generals on the corners of it.
and perched above,upon the shaft,
our old friend the private. It had
not been field day for the Con-
feds, and not feeling in a mood
for slumber, [ went over to keep
them company awhile. Sitting
down on the terrace, / fell to mus
ing on the day and the man who
so lately had held the destinies of
our country in his grasp. How
long | sat there [ cannot tell, but
it must have been some time, as
busy memory wove many a scene
into the moonlight around me.
Suddenly however l heard slight
cough, seemingly above me, yet
when l glanced upward, only the
white marble met my gaze-the
four generals and the private high
above with rigid face and limbs
and eyes set straight ahead. Think
ing [ had beer mistaken, | resum-
eei4 my leyory, only to be disturb
ed again by distinct "ahemr'
long drawn out. This time [ arose
and made a careful survey Of the
spot. No living body met my
view, and [ was about to resume
my seat when the sound was re-
peated. Glancing upward [ re
marked in jest to the private, "This
night air appears to choke you
somewhat, my friend" Looking
down at me, to my astonishment,
he replied distinctly, No | am
used to it, slept around the hills
of Virginia four CT five years and
don't mind it in the least [ could
only stare at him in silence. Pres
emily he asked;
Been in town all day?"
"Yes,' | stammered, "been here
all day"
Seen Grant?'
oh, yes; saw him distinctly.
Looks little more bloated, per-
haps than when [ saw him last,
but the same old Grant. Have you
seen him?'
Yes; he came along this way,
Heard him ask what l was up here
for, but nobody seemed to know;
and [ can't exactly recollect my
self. They ought to have put an
interrogation point over me, and
then people would know 1 was 4
conundrum.'
This joke appeared to tickle the
gentleman exceedingly, for he
chuckled away for a minute and a
half over it. l did not laugh. The
point OF the joke was probably
blunted in the fall, as | could not
see it, Af,er he had laughed all
the fun out of his reflections, he
said:
4 think it a downright shame,
they didn't give me a chance to
whoop with the patriots to-day; a
little fore-thought, a little inven-
ton on the part of the Council,
and the day would have passed off
with the utmost eclat. | wanted
awfully to cheer, tried to work my
right hand up to my hat, bat it
was no use; couldn't bulge it, and
my cap it jammed down as tight
as blazes; couldn't say a word, was
afraid to smile because L knew
how ghastly l would look. Here
| have stood all day, a sort of
Banquo's ghost at the reception,
and l would have assisted
so willingly; would cheer
fully have submitted to being
