GOOD STORY.

Col. NJ. g. WHITLoCK, the veteran
hotel-keeper at Marietta, tells the
following story, and there are few
better story-tellers in Georgia than
Col. Whitlock: ut was many years
ago, and one of our leading mer-
chants was a Dutchman, quarrel
some old fellow, who loved his beer
better than his neighbors. One
day countryman brought two
wagon-loads of loose shingles in
town and offered them for sale. A
young man named Winters, a good
hearted fellow, who loved his joke,
bought the shingles and ordered the
countryman to throw them of into
the Dutchman's store. AN old
fellow in the store will get mad and
try to stop you,' said Winters to the
countryman, but don't you mind
him; lie is my clerk, and can't I'M
derstand English, So the country
man drove around to the Dutch
mans store and began to throw of
the loose shingles right into the
front door. The Dutchman raved,
and cursed, and swore; but the
handtuls of shingles kept falling
upon the floor until both wagons
were emptied. The old Dutchman
was too stingy to hire help, and it
took him two days to get his store
cleared of the shingles. Atlanta

THE WAY TO BUILD UP OUR TOWN.

Town are not accidents or COM
mon happenings, but in this age are
the results Of combination and brain,
capital and enterprise, with pre-
ponderance of the latter of the get
up-and-git kind. Towns no longer
simply grow; they are built by en-
terprising men. Every citizen has
an influence for or against his
towns progress, and often exerts
that influence, unwittingly perhaps,
against progress and his own inter,
est. Harmony is another essential
power. Concession, too, is needed
at almost every turn, in the promo
ton of public enterprise or private
undertaking, which promises a pub
lie benefit. All must be ready and
willing to make concessions tor the
public veal; the towns progress
means public and individual pros
perity. Contribute your fair pro
rata Of both money and time to the
success of public enterprise or indi-
vidual efforts which tend to improve
or develop the town, or increase the
volume Of business. Do not be an
impeachment to the prosperity of
your neighbors and fellow citizens,
but advance the interests Of your
town. Concede something to the
views of those around you equally
interested. That is the great prin.
ciple on which our government is
tounded-the will of the majority
prevailing. Let US them pull to.
gether and build up our town, anG
in years to come we can realize the
fact that our labors have not beer
in vain.-Csmilla Clarion.

CONVICTED By THE CLOCK

A lady from Ithaca, the birth.
place of Ex-Governor Cornell and
his wife, told me yesterday a good
story apropos of the perils of welded
life, which the governor told at his
own expense. 1t seems that when
in Office at Albany he would some
times return home late at night,
after his wife had retired, and when
she asked him what time it was,
would answer; about twelve Or
"A little after midnight. One
evening, instead of making the in
quiry, she said: "Alonzo, l wish
you would stop that clock; / cannot

the morning while dressing Mrs.
Cornell inquired artlessly: Oh, by

A GOOD WORD FOR THE SCISSORS

An exchange truthtully observes
Some people, ignorant of what good
editing is, imagine the getting up Of
selected matter to be the easiest
work in the world to do, whereas it
is the incest work done on a news
paper. If they see an editor with
scissOEss in bis hand, they are sure
to say, "Eh, that's the way you are
gesting up original matter eh?'
accompanying. their new and witty
question with an idiotic wink or
smile. The facts are that the inter-
est, the variety and the usefulness
ola paper depend in no small degree
upon the selected matter, and few
men are capable of the position who
would not themselves be able to
write many Of the articles they Sc
lect. A sensible editor desires con-
siderable select matter, because he
knows that one mind cannot make
so good paper as FIVE or six.-Pa-
cific Printer.

Horace Walker, of Marlborough
Mass, has experienced many disap.
pointments. He tried Paris green,
but took too much; jumped out of a
second-st window; but failed to
land with fatal effect. The next
time he put a bullet into his brain,
and much to the surprise of the
medical fraternity, he lived. Hi:
last suicidal act was to cut his
throat from ear to ear, but failed tc
sever his jugular vein, and is still
alive.

On dropping bough of large
elm, close by a hotel, in Sunder-
land, Mass, two English robins
have made nest. Strong winds
caused so much swaying as to en-
danger the eggs in the nest. The
birds have been equal to the emer-
gency. They have secured some
Irvine and fastened one end under
the nest and the other end to a
larger branch below, thus avoiding
the danger Of too much oscillation.
The instinct exhibited by these
birds has attracted considerable at
tention.

A POOR MANS INDEPENDENCE.

a few years ago poor cartman
in Boston met with a very serious
misfortune while plying his vocation
at the docks there. He had occa-
sion to back his horse towards the
edge Of the wharf, ana in doing go
the vehicle accidentally received q
backward momentum, by which
horse and cart were precipitated in.
to the water, the horse drowned
and the cart damaged. The sym,

Immediately set on foot a subscrip
ton to repair the poor mans loss
and when a very handsome sum wal
offered him he respectfully but firm
ly rejected it, saying:

EDITOR GRADY TALKS COMMON
SENSE.

Everybody should read the words
uttered by Henry w. Grady at the
University of Virginia yesterday.
They have the ring Of true democra-
cy. They are pure gold. In these
] days, when we find socialism not
only in the haunts of ignorance and
poverty, with dynamite in its hands
and curses upon it's lips, but also in
centres of r, >dHement and wealth,
where its utters strangely seductive
theories of gov >rnment all per
vading and all contro Ving. iii is re-
treshing to hear this voice in the
South proclaiming the VI conquer
able doctrine Of individualisn1.
Mr.. Grady acknowledges the
danger to the liberties Of the peo-
pie which lies in the Capitalization
Of capital;
Economists t.-
49, 1--we held that wheat,
..own everywhere, could never be
cornered by capital. And yet one
man in Chicago tied the wheat in
his handkerchief and held it until

for ninety cents d week, had to pay
him % cents tax On sack Of -four
she bore home. IN. .her tamished
hands. Three men held the cotton
crop until the English spindles we're
stopped and the lights went out in
three million English homes. Last
summer one man cornered pork un-
til he had levied a tax of So per
barrel on every consumer and pock-
eted a profit Of millions. The Gar
of Russia would not have dared to
do these things, and yet they are no
secrets in this free government of
ours -
But he does not turn in despair
from this dark picture and propose
modified socialism, like the nation
alists Of Boston, or political choas,
like the anarchists Of Chicago. lie
is not tired of the struggle which
must always exist as long as hu-
mainly loves freedom. Here is his
remedy:
''Exalt the citizen. AS the state
is the unit of government, he is the
unit of the state. Teach him that
his home is his castle, and his
sovereignty rests beneath his hat.
Make himself self-respecting, self
reliant and responsible. Let him
lean on the state for nothing that
his own arm can do and on the
government for nothing that his
State can do"
This is sound sense.-New York
Herald.
