He Captured the Picket.

Just before the fight at Williamsburg
my company was on picket at the front.
Theman on the left OF me las went on guard
at 10 o'clock one night, was a German
named Jake Klein. He was a good ma
tured, obedient fellow and not easily put
out, but that night he was out of sorts, and
as the rebel pickets were constantly firing
in our direction, Jake finally got his
dander up. 1t was against orders to leave
his post, but after awhile he came lumber
ing through the bushes like an OK team
and growled out:
"Nhell, shall we do something's"
What can we do ?' | asked in return.
Take 'em some prisoner, eh"
YOU'D better go back and keep quiet"

"Well hurry up" / replied with a
laugh; and to my surprise and consterna-
ton he started off in the direction of a
rebel picket post. | called to him, but he
answered back through the darkness:
1T vhas alright. | make that feller
behave himself or pring him in some pris-
onerw
He was gone half an hour before | heard
anything. Then there was a crashing in
the bushes, some swearing and growing,
and Jake appeared with full-rigged Con-
federate infantryman, having firm clutch
on his collar.
"Here vhas does feller," he announced
as they came to halt He doan' promise
toskeep sthtill und so pring him along"
"Drat the onery Dutchman ?" growled
the Johnny. "He stole up behind me and
jumped on to me like mountain before
heard him."
"Who vhas some Dutchman ?" said
Jake
"You was"
"Look oudt leetle, ole feller, or |
knock off your head vhas only Dutch
in my mouth; all the rest vhas Union.

you dead as crowbarSm
Jake had actually captured picket on
hisl post and brought him off a prisoner,
and he dId it as coolly as any of the rest of
us would go out to drill. The reb was so
mad he cried, but he was turned over to
headquarters, and private Jake Klein had

few days.

Gen. Thompson struck a strong argu

gone too far to retreat. Representative

At home it was at first received with
unmeasured praise. Then followed a

CoIonist SIeepers.

The Union Pacific Ry., also known as
The Overland Route, has lately added to
its service a number of new cars (which
by the way are built by the World famous
Pullman Company entitled Colonist
Sleepers, and which for convenience and
comfort are but little behind the hand.
some Pullman Palace Car. The cars are
designed for the use and comfort of the
Colonist, who with his family intend NOV
ing West to grow up with the country.
The only difference between these cars
and the regular first. class Pullman is that
the Colonist sleeper is not upholstered.
There are fourteen sections in each car,
and separate toilet rooms for ladies and
gentlemen. At night, by means of slid
ing headboards and heavy damask cur
tains as much privacy is secured as If in
the regular irst-class sleeper. Plenty of
fresh, clean towels and a good supply Of
water are also to beifound. A uniformed
porter accompanies each car to look after
the comfort and attend to the wants of
the passengers, and no smoking is al
lowed. 1t certainly seems. that Tor cheap
and comodious sleeping Accommodations,
while travelling these cars cannot be ex-

A Biz rumpkIn WING s.e1.

A few days ago while the editor was
in Covington he was shown by Hal
Thornton, colored, who lives on a place
belonging to the editors mother, apump-
kin vine that is remarkable for the num-
Der and size of the pumpkins nov grow
ing on it. The vine is a very large one
and is growing on very poor land, on the
side of n of Georgia's famous old red
hills, and If Hal had left the vine "alone" it
would have covered considerable ground
and would have borne many more pump
kins, but after the vine had ''climbed"
On top OF a fence and on up into a large
apple tree, he discovered that the numer-
GUS young pumpkins were breaking the
tree down the honest old negro's love was
greater for apples than pumpkins), SO he
cut about half of the vine off. But the
other half of that vine is there yet, and
there are some pretty good sized pump
kins on it.
Assisted by our ''better half" we meas
ured afew of the largest, and here are
the measurements: One pumpkin, four
feet and eleven inches in circumference
and two feet one inch in length; three
pumpkins four feet and one inch In cir
conference and eighteen inches in
length, and five pumpkins three feet and
two inches in circumference and sixteen
inches in length Besides these there are
quite a number of smaller ones on the
vine. The lnrgest pumpkin is not yet
ripe, and when it does take on its
golden hue it will be some larger, and it
will be sent to the Piedmont exposition.

AN ITCH FOR OFFICE

The Sun is kind enough to state that
Mr.. Adams through his defeat for the
legislature last fall naturally inherited the
nomination to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of Mr.. Clark. 1t then in
quires: What then is the meaning of
The LEADERS, twaddle about Mr.. Ad-
ans tempting fate forcing his candi-
dacy' and 'overweening desire for legisla-
tive honors?'"
We had thought the meaning was self
evident. Mr.. Adams was very anxious
to secure the nomination. He was fairly
beaten last fall and probably sought a vim
dication at the special election. The nom
nation was left in the hands of the Re-
publican central committee, every MEM
her of which has long been acquainted
with Mr.. Adams and his qualifications as
a legislator. MIR. Adams was the only
known candidate yet it has been currently
reported on the streets that the nominal
ton was first offered to one or more gem
tlemen who declined before it was ten
dered TO MIR. Adams who accepted.
When Mr.. Adams was a Comparative
stranger here he was a candidate for
county clerk before the Republican con-
v%ention. His political record in the East,
however. had been dubious and he was
therefore showed under with great
unanimity. Not a whit discouraged Mr..
Adams again ame up in the same con
ventlon for the nomination as a member
of the legislative council. He was again
knocked out but still had hopes and was
finally placed on the legislative ticket by
a scratch vote.
Mr.. Adams was elected to the legisla-
ture chiefly through the influence Of the
stock interests and by his own confession
only voted upon M bill upon its merits
during the sixty days he sat in the house.
THIS is Mr.. Adams public record in
