 All the republicans on the independent ticket, with the exception of Dunlap, (and he was running for a territorial office) were elected, and all the democrats except Damron and Cough, were everlastingly showed under, walked over and trampled on. Damon's personal popularity carried him through the valley and elected him. Looks like the fusion ticket didn't fuse.
 The legislature promises to be demo- cratic, and the people may rest assured reduce taxation by aholishing useless ter ritorial offices, consolidating county offices where practicable. and reducing official salaries all along the line.
 Fruit trees in the valley are looking ex- ceedingly well. The frost killed most of the fruit this year, but the trees being young it has given them a chance to get full years growth, and they will be loaded with fine fruit next season.
 Graham county will continue to pros- per. A county with so much good land, water, mines and stock ranges cannot be kept in the back ground.

Taking an Esquimau Pilot.

The Esquimau pilot is of his boat not
thing apart. So closely is he identl-
fed with it when on duty that his caiak
becomes really part of himself, or
rather of his outer garment, to which it
is attached. After an Esquimau has
placed his caiak in the water and has
seated himself therein Gan operation, by

Can outer garment) to the wooden ring
which forms the periphery of the cock
pit, thus making a perfect seal, and
preventing the swapping of the boat
by heavy seas.
The boats used by the Esquimaux
are about seventeen feet in length and
two feet in width. They have no keel,
being half an octagon in shape. The
prows are fitted with whalebone to pro-
tect from floating ice. The paddles
used are made of drift-wood, and are
sometimes ornamented with bone tops.
Without his paddles the Esquimau in
his caiak is helpless. Notwithstanding
an almost constant life upon the water,
but few of them can swim. The rapid
ity with which an Esquimau will pro-
pei his boat through the water is almost
Incredible, it being not unusual for
them to attain speed of ten miles an
hour. Frequently, when at full speed,
they will, for a small consideration,
make with their boats three complete
revolutions in the water, and continue
their course without perceptibly de-
creasing their momentum.

Story OF a Greenback.

In 1864, when a Confederate camn
was located on Marietta street. an Incl
dent occurred which with its sequel,
makes an interesting "reminiscences of
the days When the old Atlanta was
more OF soldiers barracks than a CITY.
Inc camp to which I allude was a GOOD
way out on Marietta, and the site is now
occupied with number of new dwell
ing houses. DR.. Roy was one OF the
physicians at the camp.
The late captain Alphonse Hurtel. of
the Iwenty-fourth Alabama, had been
placed in temporary charge of the
prison, and one day a Federal prisoner
gave to him observation-disclosures green
BACK Dill to keep, fearing theft on the
part OF other prisoners. Shortly after
ward the prisoner escaped. Captain
Hurtel sent the money to his wife in No.
bile, Alabama, telling her to keep it.
and ii he did not send for it, and the
Confederacy fell, to use it. When Mo-
bile fell that one hundred dollars was a
godsend to one of the many impover-
ished families of the Gulf City.
And now the strange sequel. Ten
years after the close of the war, one
day, while Captain Hurtel was sitting
IN his office, apoor ragged sailor walked
in and asked,
Us this Captain Hurtel?"
After quick glance at the man s
features the Captain answered.
Yes, and you are the soldier who
gave me the one-hundred-dollar bill in
Atlanta, Georgia. during the war;"
Yes sir, / am," the sailor replied, as
the tears rolled down his cheeks, sand
if.yon will give ne just five dollars of it
now will be thankful"
A check for one hundred dollars was
given him, and the man fell on his
knees and wept like child. Once
again had the same money proven q
godsend in an hour of need.

A Solid Trutfl.

AS soon as people are doing we'll they
become decent and clean, 1 know Of
one family in particular who, five years
ago, We're dirty and thriftless. They
had no food and lived in dreadful rear
house, but by good fortune the husband
and father got place where he earned
$3.50 day, and they are now clean and
living we'll.
Ii we would spend more time trying
to find out some help for the condition of
the laboring people instead Of helping on
charities it would be great deal better.
Twenty or twenty-five years ago women
received for finishing pan;a'oons
twenty-five cents each. For the sa:ue
work they get now only three cents. It
is not possible to have decent rooms
for less than IS or $40 month, and
finishing pantaloons at three cents an
hour does not help much toward that.
