LITERARY CONVENTION,

The annual meeting of Cobb's
Literary Convention came off Satur-
day 18th at Olive Springs. The
church was nicely decorated. One
thing that was especially attractive
among the large and beautiful beu-
quets was the one placed on the
organ, which was presented by
Mrs. A. s. Clay.
It was grand success and was
made up of some of the brainiest
young men and ladies in our county.
This was thoroughly demonstrated
by the many charming and lengthy
Rotations and eloquent declama-
tions. We believe, as Col. Power
said in his address, "Underneathsit
lies the glory and higher civilization
|'of our state and southland All.
vent away from the Convention ~
fngs success ttoe this the FIRST noAe
and honoraV te effort of 0obb's young
people in the right direction. The
officers elected for the coming year
were as follows: Mr.. F. q. Kalb,
President. A more suitable man
could not have been put to the front.
Mr.. Kalb's earnest efforts for the
success of this work commended him
to this honored position. Prof. A.
N. Moyes, Recording Secretary.
Prof. Mayes is a bright young man
and will do earnest and valuable
service for the organization. Prof.
f. B. Barber, Corresponding Secre-
tary, and Mr.. Jesse Moore, Treasur-
err. Mr.. Moore is one of the leading
members in the B. L. Society and
promises to make the county one OF
its best workers. The officers will
make one of the greatest efforts in
the history of this literary work to
complete a state organization the
ensuing year. Their efforts should
certainly receive the encouragement
of both the people and press, and in
every way help our aspiring young
reach higher plane Of civilization
and thus add to the happiness of our
homes and to the honor of our coun-
ty, state and south. We know that
the Editor has great big charitable
heart, but we will not intrude by
giving the tull details of the day,
although we hope he will not think
us too greedy to give brief sketch.
After the President called the meet
ing to order the choir, with Miss
Agnes Kendley as organist, sang
"Happy Welcome to All" The
chaplain then invoked the blessings
Of God, after which came pathetic,
charming and graceful recitations
from the following young ladies in
the fore and afternoon: Those of
the B. L. Society were Misses Claud
Irelan, Menda York, Mary Horn
and Ida Moore. Those Of Concord
were Misses Jettie Bowie, Maud
Kendley and Ruth Mable, also the
eloquent and appropriate declama>
tons from the following young men
Messrs. c. A. Templeton, Charles
Moore and Robert Barnes, and an
amusing colloqual from Messrs.
Robert and Lawrence Mable, short
talk from Mr.. r e. Rollins, and
best of all an able address from Col.
W. r. Power, full of advice, worthy
to be seriously considered by the
old as we'll as the young. Well in
fact the Convention could not have
been more successful. The day was
enjoyed by everybody present. The
Convention adjourned at 3 o'clock
to meet at Concord the 4th Saturday
in December. Let US all make
preparations to meet this faithful
club. f. B. BARBER,
Corresponding Secretary,

Napoleon as a Marksman.

Although Napoleon was great gem eral, beyond dispute, it appears from some recently published recollections of two of his favorites that he was a very poor marksman. Yet he was fond of hunting, and something had to be done to cater to his vanity. It seems that whenever stag was brought to bay, it was usual to leave the animal to be killed by the emperor. On one such occasion he could not be found, and the master of the hounds did the business. Suddenly, Napoleon was seen approaching, and the stag was hurriedly propped up on his legs with tree boughs. The gun was handed to the emperor, and he fired at the stag, whereupon the master of the hounds slightly disturbed the boughs, and the stag fell to the ground. Napoleon was completely deceived, and observed, complacently: After all, am not so bad a shot as they try to make out."- Golden Days.

 A young man arrived at the Saga more at Lake George one evening not long since and was met upon the ar rival of the boat by very pretty young lady who had evidently been awaiting him anxiously.
 We'll" said he, after the greetings had beer exchanged. ''there is one poor fellow down here tonight who is go- ing to be disappointed In coming across just now portmanteau fell on the pile of trunks into the water. Think of being without change of clothes down here."
 The two laughed merrily over the dilemma of the unfortunate man. The young chap thought it huge joke and glibly to his compamon described the discomforts of wearing ones shirt turned inside out. furbishing collars and cuffs with billiard chalk, and the like. His companion enjoyed his wit hugely.
 Then he gave his check to porter and went to the room assigned to him to prepare for dinner. An hour or two later he was observed skulking dis consolately along the back piazza. At last his friend found him.
 Why didn't you come in to dinner?" she asked. We waited for you until mamma made me join the family. am awfully sorry. What was the mat ter?"

HUNTING THE CHAMOlS.
An Animal That Is Very Kcen-scented and
 Wary.

Wary.
 Speaking generally, am inclined to think that the channels is not the pre- ternaturally wary beast he is usually represented to be. Of his comparative indifference to noises, as long as they are not too loud, have already spoken. Nor, in my opinion, is his eyesight any thing remarkable. Judging from his failure to distinguish objects, such as a mans head or hand, as long as they are motionless, should say that the organs of vision of chamois are scarcely more acute than those of human beings. On the other hand, their sense of smell is quite extraordinary; hence the wind is by far the worst enemy of the hunter. The shifting eddies and currents, blow- ing now this way, now that. now up hill, now down, multiply tenfold the chances in favor of the game.
 have often asked friends of mine who have hunted in various countries as to the distance at which deer and other wild animals can scent a human being, and most of them seem to be agreed that they will wind you more than mile off. I have certainly seen chamois over half mile distant make off in alarm when they could not possi- bly, have seen anything to disturb them. 1t is curious, too. how much more the hunters odor seems to terrify them than the mere sight of him. In the latter case, unless you are quite close. they whistle and move of quietly, turning round every few hundred yards to look: while if they get your scent they will throw up their heads with an expression of utter disgust that is high ly diverting, and, without hesitating moment, gallop away at top speed Longman's Magazine.

Marines and Mariners.

Outcroppings of jealousy between sailors and marines aboard United States ships are common enough. The marine is that awkward thing, lands man at sea. He is soldier, clad in q soldiers uniform, receiving soldiers pay, and subject to the drill and disci- pline of the army rather than of the navy. Doubtless he is more shapely person from technical point of view than the Jack tar, but he is vastly less picturesque ana human. He is, on the whole. hardly so we'll paid as the sailor. IN. Y. Sun.
