"A little love Song.
The love that beams in my dearest dreams
Hath none Of the worlds mad blisses;
Its Maynard wiles. or its splendid smiles
For it comes from wifc's sweet kisses!
The songs that flow from my lips are not
The songs that | dream or render;
They are roses sweet from garden spot
Kissed by a wifc's lips tender!
And not to me shall their glory be,
Though the world should bow and bring 1t;
If IL song | sing, It's a holy thing
For she taught my lips TO sing it:
O. storm and strife OF the worlds mad life,
When I fade from your gloom and blisses,
Let my heaven above be the lips l love
Sweet with wife's sweet kisses!

In A BAD FIX.
Tho Negroes in Bad Condition to Go Through
fhe Winter.

Albany, Ga, December 1S.-Special)-
The negroes i'll this section OF the state are
i'll about as bad Il condition as that class
ever gets to be, and it IS ali the result
of their own thrlftlessness and lack OF energy
that is to say, the negroes who live in the
country around here and make their living
as tenants aud troopers.
The majority of this class are at present
without rationS and many OF them are
without homes they having been turned ont
on account of the loss to the owners OF the
land on which they were tenants. Some
years ago there was no section OF the state
in which they could do better than mere,
but last year and this especially, the low
price of cotton and their general careless
ness and worthessness have left many OF
them high and dry without ratlons TO carry
them through the winter months. In many
instances they have been supplie't with ra-
tons during the spring and summer, ana
in the harvest time they made scarce enough
cotton to pay for half of their supplies up
to that date.
One negro near here has been
supplied with rations for the. past
year or two and there was charged
bale of cotton with which to pay the bill.
This is the most costly bale of cotton that has
been sold in Albany for some time.
City negroes who have visited the country
report hard times among some members OF
their race, and say that some OF them are
on the verge of starvation for want of IA
tions. They all sold their cotton when it
was low, so got very little for it. This
course as well as their general thriftless-
ness seems to have been instrumental III
bringing about the present state of affairs.
The result will be an influx
of negroes into the cities and
towns of this section where many of
them may find work enough to keep them
going until next spring, when they will go
10 cropping" again.
Help! Help!
How often has the cry been uttered In
vain, But there is help for sufferers from
liver complaint and constipation, those eX-
cecedinsly prevalent disorders. A course Of
Hostctter's Stomach BittGrs will completely
remove them. The malarious the rheumatic,
the dyspcptic and the nervous also derive IN
speakable benefit from the great remedy.
They Are Prosperous.
Carrollton. Ga, December 1S.-(Special.)
The Constitutions correspondent inter

men today the financial condition of
the farmers and the people i'll general of

creditabc one. II was the opinion of nine
tenths of the business men. including the
bankers that all Glasses OF citizens We're at

cotton in the country yet to SELL and the

Then Sister Jinkins grabbed dress an

But Sister Brown in the town an Kinder

Because says she, '"twas meant fer me

Then Sister Spriggins said her gal deserved

When Deacon Scott said he guessed not

Then Sister Sprggins went fer him an
whacked him side the neck,
Until he Stood worse than the boy upon the

There never was time like that; they
