When the colonsls Al Come Home.


The fields are full OF blossoms and the
meadows smile as sweet
As a maiden, when the daisies make a
carpet FOR her feet;
And the crows are cawing gladly, and the
larks are in the loan,
And there'll be a iubilation when the
colonies all come home.
The jayhird's song is ringing to the ether,
wild and free.
And the splsshing streams are singing as
they race toward the sea;
And the cotton bolls are bending, and the
burrows white with foam
And there'll be a iubilation when thu
eolonels al come home.
o; colonels-Georgia cclonels where tho
wild Potomac flows
Do you ever think OF Georgia where the
watermelon grows!
Where the pumpkins globed in yellow
where the mules unbridled roam;
O, there'n be !ubilation when the eolonels
all come home

"worse than the devil himself" 4 few

Mr.. Dunfee swore out u warrant for
the arrest of Charles Whitfield, a near

oARRoLLroN MYSTERY.
An Absent Citizen Not Heard of f
Many Weeks.

Carrollton, Ca, Aug. 1S.-Much ex-
element has been created here over the
announcement that Col. J. NJ B. Kelley,
a citizen of this town, had been away
from home for four months and had not
been heard from since July l. Mr..
Kelley left here first in May to canvass
Alabama for local patent right and he
was heard from regularly by his family
and his employees, till July l, but since
that time nothing has been heard of him
and there are serious apprehensions here
that he has been foully dealt with.
LAST HEARD FROM AT UNION SPRINGS.
He was last heard from at Union
Springs, Ala. Mr.. Kelley was clerk of
the superior court of Carroll county for
sixteen years, and before that time he
was a newspaper man. He made good
officer and has hundreds of friends here,
who are really apprehensive of something
serious having happened TO him. Hun
dreds of letters and kilograms have been
sent in quest of the lost man, but
WITHOUT ELICITING TIDINGs.
Several parties will start at once to
look for him. Mr.. Kelley is about sixty
years old, of low stature, bald, and very
sprightly for his age, and is well known
all over Georgia. His whereabouts is the
talk Of Carrollton and Carroll county.
