Pea Ridge Politics.

From the Atlanta journal.
Speaker Clay is very popular throughout his
district, except in one small precinct in what
is known as Pea Ridge, where the people are
very poor, and, being isolated, do not keep up
with the outside world. To them the Georgia
legislature is the greatest law-giving and most
powerful body Of men on earth.
In this section Speaker Clay, when he ran
for the legislature the first time. received only
eight votes. He thought he could at least
double his votes there in his last race, and
went over to the Ridge to make speech.
While he was talking away TO the constitu-
ents of Pea Ridge about what he had done in
the legislature a rough farmer came close to
the stand and shouted:
''Say, Mister, don't yer know eff yer'ud er
done yer dooty en- the last legislaty us farmers
wouldn't err had this yer baggin' trust ter fight
ergin?'
The audience cheered the questioner as if he
had put socdollager to the speaker, and al
though Mr.. Clay tried to explain that the
Georgia Legislature had nothing to do with
trusts formed in st. Louis and New York his
hearers were satisfied that he had not .'done
his dooty in the last legislaty." He didn't get
many votes from Pea Ridge.

noted Acting Sergeant W. T. Falvey to SER
geant
Lieut.. Hollenberger is certainly not supcrsti-
tious Of ''Black Friday or '.hangman's day."
for all his luck has come on that day. just
twenty-five years ago he went on the street as
private. His first days duty fell ON Friday.
Then followed his promotion. which also fell
on Friday. After serving many years as ser
geant, he was detailed to duty at police head
quarters. His services there began on Friday,
and now his highest promotion, to command
precinct, has been made. Like his other
streaks of good luck. his promotion dates
from tomorrow, Friday. Another singular
coincidence is the fact that his appointment
and each promotion was made in January.

lowest bidders for paving 5th street, from o to
Q, estimated for IS. 032.S6. 18th street, at the
intersection Of b, estimated for at FL 716 70,
by II. l.. Crawford. Both of these contracts
were not awarded at the time, as il was deemed
advisable to hold up some of the streets to see
how the money would hold out. As the state
OF the finances for the street work justify these
expenditures, Capt. Symons has recommended
that the contracts be awarded.

was referred to Captain Symons. In letter
to Major Raymond he calls attention to the
police regulation governing the case, and re-
commends that the Commissioners issue
positive orders requiring the boxes of carts to
be tight.
