Dispensing with City Drummers.

Wholesale merchants in some OF the east
ern cities are seriously thinking of doing
away with the "city drummer although
the part that functionary plays in securing
trade is altogether too important to make it
advisable for one firm to dispense with his
services unless all do. The work Of the city
drummer consists in meeting customers from
the country and amusing them until they
make their purchases and are ready to go
home AS may be imagined, the ''amuse-
ments" are not always the most innocent, and
the strain upon the man who is constantly
engaged IN them makes the place very ar
duous and high priced one. Of late some of
the merchants have renounced these methods
as unbusinesslike, not to say indecent, and it
is not improbable that the practice may fall

Its leaves with crimson hurn;
There seems to me an avalanche

From pleasures depart:
In many a dreary place roam
To still my restless heart.
Oh, give me back my bygone daysl
The days when was young

And those played among
Or give to me old fancies dear,
Ant spell bound will stay
Give me back the loved ONES haze,

Gresham as a Bow.

Many anecdo, es are told now by his old
schoolmates, OK Walter .. Gresham as boy.
One day, says the Philadelphia Netcs Walter
went hunting with boy named Frank Linn. As
they were pretty small boys Franks father
asked Walter about his gun. which was an old
tnt-lOck, and, as he found the youngster knew
how to use it, let them go. When the BOYS got
back Mr.. Linn asked ''Wat"-as Gresham is still
called by his old friendS-hOw they got along
well, Mr.. Linn" said Wat, we didn't bring
home any game, but he said, opening his ewes
very wide I'm sure there are four squirrels
hurt SO bad that they can't get back to their
hoes.n

boy, said II never knew young man fonder

the young ladies seemed to like better But he

The Press Association Meetinr.

The annual meeting of the Georgia Press
Association will be held at Canton, May 10.
1t promises TO be one of the most pleasant
of the many pleasant gatherings of the
newspaper men of the State. The railroads,
with their usual liberality TO the press, have
extended to the members of the association
and their wives highly appreciated courte-
sizes
The association will be welcomed to
the Inequalities of the town of
Canton by Hon. George r. Brown,
and Hon. Tyler M. Peoples, of the GtCin-
nett Herald, will respond, and MIR. C. f.
Standard, associate editor of the Canton
Adudnce, will welcome the visitors in be-
half of the local press. After the regular
business is disposed Of, the association will
be entertained at banquet given by the
citizens of Canton.
An excursion on the Marietta and North
Georgia railroad is on the programme for
the second day. A special train will take
the members and their wives to Murphy,
N. c., stopping at Mineral Bluff Jasper,
and other places. At Murphy they will be
entertained by the Board OF Trade, and at
other places extensive preparations are being
made for their reception
An interesting feature of the trip will be
an exhibition, by band of Cherokee In
dams, at Murphy, consisting of war dances,
ball playing, etc. The association will re-
turn TO Canton on Saturday.
The East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
railway, through Mr.. b. w. Wrenu, has
also extended an invitation to the associa-
ton to make an excursion from Atlanta to
Brunswick. The Pullman Car Company
has offered to furnish the necessary cars,
and the new hotel at Brunswick, "The
Oglethorpe," will entertain the press Wis
itors.
II the whole programme is carried out,
the association will have a weeks recreation
without going outside of the State, except TO
visit Murphy, n. C., which is only few
miles beyond the border. The occasion
promises TO be a memorable one, and doubt
less the association will be well represented
Consul Ben Folsom better known as Mrs.
Cleveland's cousin, arrived in New York
the other day, having obtained short leave
of absence. II is said that Cousin Ben has
acquired some reputation as an orator since
he went to birmingham, but if he makes
any speeches in this country he had better
confne himself TO subjects which are not
connected with politics, else the President
may regard him as an offensive partisan"
However, he may descant upon the charms
Of his distinguished cousin.

The Nominee for Chief Justice.

The President appears to have made an
excellent selection for Chief Justice. Mr.
Fuller was not known to the country until
few days ago, when he was mentioned in
the public prints as the one who was likely
to receive the appointment to the highest
Judicial office in the country. He is a Dem
ocrat, but not partisan. He does
not appear ever to have taken a lead
ing part i'll politics. He is a
scholar, and lawyer, and is just about
the age when man is able to do his best
intellectual work. Having good health,
and good habits. the chances ore that he
will have q long career on the bench.
The Republican Senators and Representa-
tives from Illinois speak in the highest
terms of him, aud if those Republicans
who know him have no fault to find with
him, it is quite safe to conclide that the
President has not made mistake. II he
is as well fitted in every respect for the
great Office as he is represented TO be. there
ought not ITO be any unnecessary delay in
confirming his nomination.
