A FLORAL BANNER.
Just before the speaking COM
menced a beautiful floral banner,
with the words, "All honor to Thorn
as E. Watson, the peoples choice"
worked across its face, was presented
to that gentleman. The following
note accompanied it:
HONORABLE THOMAS E. WATSON:
We respectfully ask you to accept this
floral tribute as a slight token of our
appreciation of your noble work for the
peoples cause. With many wishes for
your success and happiness, we are your
sincere friends, Mrs DR. GRIFFIN,
Mrs THADEN.
Atlanta, Sept. 49,"
This presented rare combination
of refined taste and artistic skill on
the part of the fair donors. Never
have | seen anything to equal it, and
it was doubtless becomingly appre-
ciated by the honored recipient. At
a little distance it had all the ap
pearance Of the richest banner, the
colors were beautifully blended, and
the lettering skillfully executed.
Other rare collections of flowers
were sent to the stand, but I regret
that in the hurly burly I failed to
get the names Of the fair ladies who
presented them, and consequently
cannot give the credit due.
From the stand, looking on the
animated countenances of the surg
ing mass Of humanity, you would not
think that so much cold water had
been on the meeting.
Looking at the contestants, and
gauging them by my knowledge Of

MIR. WATSON OPENS.

Ladies and Gentlemen: You know
how extremely difficult it will be for
us to speak here today unless
you keep perfect order. The
crowd had not accommodated
themselves to the situation, and
there was a great deal of confusion
lasting for severav minutes during
which time the speaker desisted.
There was considerable disputation
also, those behind insisting on those
in front sitting down, that they
could have a better chance to see
and hear.
Mr.. Livingston. Now stop that
talking and give us time for this de-
bate, for it will rain like blazes this
afternoon. Go aman in the crowd
Shut your mouth or l'll go down
there and make you. Be quiet, you
with the straw hat. (Laughter.)
Mr.. Watson. Now gentlemen, if
we are to be heard at all, you must
cease your conversation in the au-
dience. We are here exposed to the
dripping from the platform, and we
cannot be heard unless you keep
quiet. No one who has not tried it
knows the difficulty of speaking
when it is moist and every circum-
stance operating against the
speaker.
I desire to say this to you. I am
just from the Tenth District, where
they have concentrated all the power
of men and money against US. I
met your enemies, and [ am glad to
say to you to-day that the woods are
on fire and the wind is in our favor.
(Cheering.) And so far as in
me lies, l expect to kindle the signal
lights from every hill top in Georgia.
(Renewed cheering.) Be quiet, boys.
Do not start that, for If you do, the
other side will do the same, and
there will be endless confusion.
Talking, argument is what we want
to-day. I can do that better than
you can, and MIR. Livingston can
talk for his side better than his
friends can.

Dressy neckwear of all sorts is prom ised an unprecedented run of favor for the coming season. There is reason for the most devout thankfulness that at last the untidy, half dressed spectacle of women without collars is at an end. There has not for half a century been any fashion more demoralizing or more unbecoming. It has been productive of an amount of carelessness among grow ing girls that it will take years of train ing to overcome. There are many daugh- ters of respectable families who appear in the morning indeed, at any time of the day-without ruching or other finish in the neck of the dress. Such fashions as these may be criticised, not merely as foolish caprice, but as having decidedly injurious tendencies, especially in view of the fact that they let down the stand ard of neatness, care and daint. ess among young girls.

What is lacking is truth and confidence.
 If there were absolute truth on the one hand and absolute confidence on the other, 1t wouldn't be necessary for the makers of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy to back up plain statement of fact by a $500
 They say" If we can't cure y0u (make it personal, please,) of catarrh in the head, in any form or stage, we'll pay you $500 for your trouble in making the trial"
 An advertising fake" you say.
 Funny, isn't it, how some people prefer sickness to health when the remedy is positive and the guarantee absolute.

Carlyle as a Husband,

On the much discussed subject of Car
lyle as husband some light is thrown by
the following letter which his wife wrote
to & friend soon after the death of her
mother:
''Only think of my husband, too, having
given me a little present. he who never at
tends to such nonsense as birthdays, and
who dislikes nothing in the world so much
as going into shop to buy anything, even
his own trousers and coats; so that, to the
CONSERVATION of cockney tailors, l am
obi ged to go about them. Well, he actu-
ally risked himself in a jewelers. shop, and
brought me very nice smelling bottlel l
cannot tell you how wac his little gift
male me, as well as glad; it was the first
thing of the kind he ever gave me in his
life. In great matters he is always kind
and considerate; but these little attentions,
which we women attach so much impor-
tance to, he was never in the habit of rem
dering to any one; his upbringing and the
severe turn of mind he has from nature
had alike indisposed him toward them
And now the desire to replace to me the ir-
replaceable makes him as good: in little
things as he used to be in great"
Carlyle never forgot her birthday after
ward. Once Mrs. Carlyle thought that he
had when he was away from her, but a
day or two afterward she received from
him "a dear little cardcase."

The Devil and Brandy.

Who invented brandys The good people
IN certain parts of Germany say that it was
The devil, and perhaps they are not so very
wide of the mark. Here is the legend:
A Steinbach man cajoled the father Of
evil into entering an old beech tree and
there he was imprisoned until the tree was
cut down. His first step on regaining his
freedom was to visit his own particular
dominion, which to his horror he found
empty. This, naturally, would not do and
he set about repeopling hell without delay.
He thought the quickest plan would be to
start distillery, so he hurried off to Nord-
hansen, where his manufacture of brandy
(his own invention) became so famous that
people from all parts came to him to learn
the new art and to become distillers From
that time his satanic majesty has neverhad
to complain of the paucity of subjects
