Governor Northen has appointed Mr..
S. H. Broadnax, of Walnut Grove, as a
delegate to the National Farmers Cor :
vention, which meets in Savannah on
December 18th.
The gin house white caps have reach
ed Georgia. The Constitution reports
that the gin houses in Heard county
have been posted with the threat of
burning if any cotton should be ginned
before the price of the staple reaches 20
cents.
Americas was stirred up a few days
ago on account of the fact that the peo-
pie thought dead man had been packed
in bale of cotton. The coroner was
summoned and the bale opened, but it
proved t. be only the loss of valuable
'possum dog.
The statement is going the rounds
that a Georgia editor lost satchel at

attempts to find out whose sat3hel he
was holding are futile.
A man(?) was sent to the city stQcEade

THE SENSIBLE SECRETARY.
THE OPPORTUNITIES OFFERED BY
SECRETARY SMITH

To Son of a Farmer in Each of The Cor
gressional Districts seconds
Representative.
The Macon News has succeeded in OBJ
tanning an inter esting piece of informa-
ton from Washington, of a local nature,
which makes entertaining reading.
Some time ago Secretary Hoke Smith
conceived the very sensible idea Of offer
ing position OF messenger to the son of
a farmer in eacI congressional district
of Georgia. This offer was made as a
special courtesy to the agricultural
classes--a special recognition Of that
class of people who are so largely affect
ed by the policy of public officials and
who get so few of the offices.
1t was a close shave to spare to Gear-
gia these special messengers places in
addition to those previously given the
state; it tended to aggravate the charge,
already frequently made, that Georgia
was getting an overplus of plums from
the interior department; but Secretary
Smith considered the action in this case
peculiarly justified by the 10000 demo
cratic majority in the last election which
the farmers of Georgia aided SO mate
rally in giving.
The places given these farmer boys
pay them $50 per month each. They
are kept busy seven hours day. They
have an opportunity of going to school
at night t. the best teachers the country
affords. They can get any kind of an
education they want-common school,
classical, literary, scientific or profes
sional.
'H Besides making money in the four
years hey will be in Washington, they
will go back to their people well educated
men, well prepared to make their mark
in any line of work which they may
choose
These farmer boy messengers were
naturally selected by the congressman
from the several districts.
THE SECONDS REPRESENTATIVES,.
Congressman Ben Russell has selected
Jas. 7. Prevatt, son of A. F. Prevatt,
one of the leading farmers of Thomas
county.
Young Prevatt is just 81, tall and fair

The famous DR. johnson had so much
bothered his London publisher, Andrew
Millar, in the printing of his dictionary,
that when it was finally completed, Mr..
Milan wrote as follows:
Mr. Andrew Millars complim nts to
DIR. johnson, and he thanks God that he
is done with him.
TO which came this reply: "Dr
Johnson is glad to know ti.at Mr.. An

Stewart of Nevada.

Old Senator Stewart the patriarch from
Nevada, produces about two speeches
per day in the senate chamber, says a
Washington dispatch to the Chicago
Herald No one listens to him except
the official stenographer, and he is paid
"a big salary for doing it. As soon as
Stewart rises, addresses the chair and
begins shaking his long, bony, fingers
everyone in hearing fees from the pun
@ishment to come or takes refuge in book
Cor newspaper. Even the silver sen Ators
are Cisgusted ana panied when the old
man takes the floor. They wish they
could suppress him, but, unfortunately,
under the rules of the senate debate
individual or collective, is thing not TO
be suppressed. Mr.. Stewards colleague,
senator Jones, is one of the great story
tellers of the senate and he has some
quaint and breezy language in which to
express his opinions of men and things.
When Mr.. Stewart grew unusually earn
est and dramatic during his attack upon
President Cleveland the other day, throw
ing his arms wildly ABOUT, gazing tragi-
cally at the ceiling, rolling his eyes and
bowling like half starked coyote at
dawn, Mr.. Jones went into cloakroOm
and said to some of his fellow senator's

Mr.. W. +. Ellermund, quite an ex-
tensive property owner in this city,
who spends much of his time here, re.
turned from Hot Springs. Ark, last
Saturday. where he had been for six
weeks. He says there are hundreds of
people going there every day that
would no doubt come to this place if
they knew anything about the superb
ority of the waters here, or of the ac.
commodations offered. Mr.. E!lermuud
does not like our southern namesake
and rival; says they have no such
scenery as there Is here, and their
much praised climate is no where near
SO pleasant and agreeable as this. He
thinks this town is not doing enough
advertising of its advantages. He will
remain all summer and may be given
an opportunity TO contribute to an ad.
vertising fund, as sn extensive prt p
'erty owner here.

The Soldiers Home.

soldiers rest
A boon wher4 state and nation their grateful

Yes, in the far fair South Dakota, where the spir

Who hath conceived this heritage: The Gods Of

Who never forget that valorous deed that welded
that cirrling band:
Which made the nation . Gnit-onc country from

The home of millions of people whose song is
The aons of South Dakota
And when we sing of Dakotas sons, and their act.
We remember the Wnman's Relief Corps, its
mission and deeds great,
Nursing and helping the Infant along until it
could stand alone.
As the fame of its glory arose mansion was built
of stone
For the soldiers of South Dakota
We sonsht the spirit of tn. Dakota's to know

A home 70; these . old veterans for 1T seems the
That they. should nut feel the pangs Of want,
while paseing DER the hill
The answer came back with solemn vow: by
those medical healing springs,
Said these DakOtas
flown:
Like al agsl Of peace she is hoverins about this
Soldiers Home.
In the medical waters that heal us she is dipping
her epirit hand
And washing away our aillictions in this Dakota
says the South Dakotan.
Welonged for thee, Minnekahta, to soothe our
feverish hand,
That medical healing water of our Dakota land.
But when we to the Soldiers Home our
prayer WAS sad and still
They had bnilt the home for the soldiers away on
ndistant hill.
All yee, South Dakota!
And now with pump and pressure the fluid ID
forced away,
At the tune of eight hundred q year to the home
where the eoldiers stay.
That medical power is lost To them: they wonder
how this can be
They are failing sld dying of old sgs-ths nedi
cine is there yOu see,
Says the South DukOtian.
Yes, there on that beautiful hillside among those
native pines
You have planted for ne q sunbeam-its mission

For here in the evening of lifetime is hand so
gentle and true,
Caring for every comrades want-its Commsnd
