Well / noticed Bill bennington
trouble in last weeks issue of VIDETTE.
Bill is not the only one that has been
troubled over the Birthday almanac.
A very observative old darkey in our
neighborhood had just about the same
faith that Bill had, and in turning its
several pages through he discovered
that goth and 30th of December 1895
were two Sundays together. This ex-
cited the old darkey very much, think
ing the world was coming TO an end
and was about to commit suicide
Then Mr.. j. H. Moore would have
been into it again. We think he had
better inform the Birthday printers to
be more correct in the future.

Then and Now.

There was a time when he who
would keep informed Of the progress
OF knowledge. the record of discovery
and invention, and the currents of
human thought, could and indeed must
rely chiefly If not wholly upon books,
That day has passed. Books we must
still read, as the capitalization and
permanent embodiment of human
thought and knowledge. But to-day
1t is the newspaper, the magazine, the
periodical review, upon which we
must chiefly depend If we would follow
closely the intellectual movement of
the day. And now a new difficulty
has arisen. This newspaper and
periodical literature has become so
multitudinous and bulky as to be a
heavy burden to the busy man or
woman, while oven the person who
has leisure and inclination to reao
widely is often unable to get access to
the current publications. Especially
in the smaller cities, villages, andl
rural districts is the lack of such OPP
portunity felt. 1t is felt by the clergy
sician, the merchant. the artisafi, uqhse. The
farmer and the cultured aud thought
full women of the household. With all
these and many other classes of per-
sons the great practical literary ques-
tion is: How can I best supplement
my indispensable home paper? 1t
was to answer this question and meet
this demand that Public Opin-
ion (now published in New York
City, was founded nine years ago. 1t

last degree, and serves it in conven-
lent and attractive form.

"Suppress dem Puffs."

An old-time darkey butler, such as
may be found occasionally in Phila'
delphia. used grander expressions the
older be grew.
He was helping a visitor the other
day to don her walking jacket. and as
he noticed that she was still struggling
to push in her rebellious big sleeves,
he suggested, respectfully:
'P'r'aps you will hab de goodness to
allow me to suppress dem pulls,

A correspondent from Mingo writes
us as follows: '.Our candidates are

They may aim to use the wart and get

Some say they have the wart but its

to give in the name and have the good

NOT A CANDIDATE.

 Senator Gordon Announces He Viii Not Stand
 for Reelection. To My Personal and Political Friends in Georgia:
 The many inquiries made of me as to my candidacy for the senate at the next election would seem to justify some pub lie announcement of my purpose. For more than year past my determ- ination to retire form official life at the close of my present term of service has been known to many personal friends; and the statement that l shall not be a candidate-for reelection seems now due to all who may feel an interest in the subject.
 I shall return to private life with noth- ing but good will for all my countrymen for those from whose opinions and pol icies have felt it my duty to dissent, aa well as for the devoted friends. who, in all contests, have been my earnest and constant advocates.
 I shall retire with profoundest grati- tude to that generous people who have so long trusted me and who have de- nied me no honors within their gift. In resuming the station of private cit izen I shall still feel the deepest interest in the political and material welfare of our state, and in all efforts to promote the prosperity and unity of the whole country.

New York June 8.-Cotton rose 3 to 4 points, and closed steady with sales of 65,600 bales. New Orleans advanced to points, There was a holiday in Liv-

 Spot cotton here was quiet and un- changed. with no sales. Port exports were 12, SPA bales. Southern spot markets were quiet and unchanged; New Orleans was somewhat easier. Port receipts were 3162 bales, against 14S4 bales this day last week and 399S bales for the cor responding day last year The visible supply of cotton is now 3,G26,000 bales, against 3,126,000 bales last year. Came into sight during the week. 17,000 bales making the total for the season up to date 9,570000 bales, against 7,263,000 bales last year. Today's features:
 There was a rise today, mainly owing to southern and Liverpool buying, though there was more or less covering of shorts in expectation of a bullish acreage re- port by the government Monday. Rains were reported in Louisiana where they do not seem to be needed. The condi- tion of the plant has changed somewhat of late, but is stil backward, and the prospects point to a much smaller crop than that of last year.

 The local military men are making extensive arrangements for grand gala day at Riverside park Friday, June IA. The programme will include dress pa rade by the Montgomery battalion, com petitive drills by infantry, cavalry and artillery. Probably the most interesting feature of the whole programme will be the infantry drill between picked teams from the Blues and Greys. This will be the first competitive drill either of these famous companies has entered since the days of their greatness in the sos. Both companies are drilling regularly, and will be in excellent trim on the great day. Both will come out in brand new uni- forms and put up excellent appearances.
 The artillery and cavalry drills will not be lacking in interest. Two detach- ments from the Montgomery Mounted Rifles will enter the cavalry drill and two detachments from the Montgomery Field Artillery will enter the artillery drill. Both the artillery and cavalry will appear in fine trim, and are sure to eX- cite the admiration of the spectators
 The sham battle will be between the Blues and attachments from the arti- lery and cavalry on the one side and tho Greys and attachments of cavalry and artillery on the other
 The opposing forces will probably be commanded by Maj. R. P. Stout and Capt W. F. Joseph.
 About ten of the best bicyclists of this section have entered the wheel race and an exciting match is anticipated
 The occasion is being gotten up to raise money to help uniform the military. A vast crowd is expected on the grounds that day, as excursions will probably be run from neghboring towns.
