SLOWERI SWEET JUNE.

Slower, sweet June,
Each step more slow.
Linger and loiter as you go;
Linger a little while to dream,
Or see yourself in yonder stream.
Fly not across the summer SOL

1t is so long since we have met;
So long ere we shall meet again;
Let the few days that still remain
Be longer, longer, as they flow,
Sweet June! Be slow.
Slower, sweet June,
And slower still.
Let all your matches beauty thrill
My sou1i Stretch out this day so bright.
Far, far along midsummers height,
Till sunset back to sunrise glow,
Sweet June! Be slow!
Slower Sweet June!
Yes! Wait awhile.
The meadow stars look up and smile
That you are here; the grasses bend
Their heads to greet their dearest friend
And say, .She taught us how to grow"
Sweet June! Be slow.
Slower, sweet June!
Your footsteps bear
An echoing gladness everywhere.

And answers, June, dear June. is best

One apple bloom, one lily spray:
Teach one more rosebud how to blow.

While l sat hoping-fear1ng-all.
A dainty thing it was. of lace
And flowers; too large. tho very small.
Ilonged to dash 1t down and see
If Eyes" or mo" lurked there for me,
Behind her fan.

She answered neither ayes" nor 'sNo"-
BY smile or tear; by "stay!' or .go!'

AS for the rest-yOu understand.
My face vas hidden close to hers

WHAT GAME

EDITORS OF JOURNAL in the Smyrna
news, in your last issue OF the JOURNAL,
appeared statement, which, for the sake
OF our common humanity. / hope is an
error.
Your informant states that Doctor who
had been summoned to sew up and dress
the wounds of woman who had been
pretty badly carved up in cutting scrape
at Winnings, "sewed up the gaping wounds,
as the money was assured" and did
not ask for his pay until the work was
DONE"
Failing to get it then, very happy
thought" struck him. he undid the BAN
dages and cut the stitches, then went back
home feeling that he had gotten revenge
and won the game.
Won what ''game?
Was it victory to be proud Of?
Was it sweet revenge and one that
brought happiness to the winner? l hope
your informant ~" was misinformed in
the matter, but if it be true, I would like
to know that DOCTORS name. If he on that
occasion performed deed to be proud of
to boast of-one that maEes him happy
as he recurs to it row, the public should
know it.
Will the memory Of that deed continue
to sweeten his life, and when he goes to
meet his record face to face, on the other
side, will he point with pride to that part
OF it and say Il won the gamer
Did the lowly Nazarene, who went about
doing good and healing the sick ever undo
His work, and seek revenge when His labor
was unappreciated.
In what age of the world are we living
What game are we playing? 81.

THE MAN FOR CONGRESS-.

EDITORS JoURNAL:-We have
been waiting for one of those lucid
intervals to come over US so we
might write little, but when you
advise to wait on one We must write
without the lrcidness. Most of us
are subscribers to the great big At
lanta Constitution, which gives US
more news, but not half of the good
advice our own home paper does.
While we like the Constitution as
newsy paper, we love our home pa
per, the JOURNAL, because we hear
from our neighborsland friends in all
parts of the county and state. The
JOURNAL, also gives good ideas how
to raise our children and love our
families. AS you are not ad-
vising us, the laboring class, to keep
out of politics, we are constrained
to believe you are purely Democrat
ic.
Let the government be governed
by the people and for the people.
We see other papers advising the
knights of Labor and the Farmers
Alliance to keep out Of politics,
while that is part of our fundamen-
tai principles and the only way we
can ever see day light. They might
as we'll say cut the dogs tail off to
keep him from biting, as tell US to
keep out of politics. So we hope
we will be allowed a free exercise
of our franchise. We want some
laws passed that will favor the labor
ing classes as we'll as for the other
classes.
There seems to be an idea among
some of our people that when Adam
and Eve were turned out of the gar
den and told they and their descend
ants should live by the sweat of
. their face, that there is some excep-
tons, but we have recently discov.
! cred that there is no exceptions,and
as We are believing that way, it re-
minds Us of your mention that Hon.
J. G. Clements, present member of
Congress, had no opposition. Now,
to make the race more interesting
and of more Importance, We would
ask how would it sound to say, Hon.
r. w. Everett, member from Polk
County? Now, Cobb has claimed
1t, other counties have had mem
Der in Congress, but We have never
heard of Polk county claiming it.
, Besides, Mr.. Everett is a substan-
| tial and successful farmer, man
that can run a farm successfully,
and would make a good Congress-
man. Respectfully,
ASA DARBY

A prominent gentleman of Ogle-
thorpe, in recent speech to a gath
ering OF farmers, told in this wise,
why a farmer could be nothing else
but farmer: "a farmer is too out
spoken to be merchant; too con-
scientious to be lawyer; has too
high regard for the truth to be an
editor, and, owing to the provoca-
tons of surrounding circumstances,
could not be preacher, and there
was therefore, nothing else for him
to be but q farmer"

er-loving people of Marietta that the wild

The first of the season was on exhibition
here few days ago. The kalmia, or
mou ntain laurel is also blooming luxuri-
ously, and a hillside covered with it in its
delicate tints, is one of the prettiest sights
imaginable.
A boat-ride in the moonlight on the pic>
turesque stream which winds SO gracefully
along the shady valley afforded rare en-
joyment to small party one balmy spring
evening, not great while ago. Ever the
real pleasure of a horseback ride will not
bear comparison. CYRUS.
