spoken constantly in his favor, while the
man who owes nearly everybody and pays

would be honored, trusted and prosperous

Carried the Proofs with Them,

Two ex Confederates who applied for
allowance under the manned soldier act
showed strong proof that they were
badly hurt during the war. About 2
o'clock Mr. Lucius Maxwell walked In,
and taking from his pocket On old Con-
federate passport slowly unwound it and
laid before Col. Tip Harrison six pieces
OF his skull. Mr. Maxwell was a men,
Der Of the Forty-second Georgia regi-
ment, and received a terrible wound In
the head In one OF the battles around
Atlanta In July, 1884. About 4 o'clock
Mr.. Josephns Riden came in and took
from his pocketbook q piece Of his own
skull which he has preserved all these
years. Mr.. Riden was a member Of the
Thirty fourth Georgia regiment, and was
shot In thetop Of his head at the battle
Of Jonesboro. To this day these unfor-
tunate veterans still suffer from the
effects Of their dangerous wounds, and
have never been able to do steady work
since they were received. It is hardly
necessary to add that the applications Of
both were promptly allowed.-Atlanta

will be among the distinguished members
of the excursion party. The whole crowd
are obstensibly going on pleasure trip,
but it is whispered on good authority
that Messrs. Hewitt and Cooper will not
be bent on pleasure solely. Mr. Hewitt
is reliably reported to have said that his
principal purpose in making the trip was
to carefully examine some OF the coal
fields and iron ore districts Of Tennessee
and Georgia, and that, if his examination
cnnf;rms the accounts be has had Of the
vast coal and mineral resources of those
States, he will probably move his entire

possibility foreshadows a thing OF great.

Hewitt employs in his Pennsylvania iron
industry over 1000 men, and a change Of
base would involve his carrying all those
hands, with their families, to his new field

actly where he may locate, as he has no
