Good Whom Voc Find 1t.

Judge Caldwell OF North Carolina
was slow to see the point Of joke. On
trying a case on one occasion the solic-
itor called in vain for witness named
Sarah Mooney. AS she did not answer
he informed the court that he could
not proceed without ceremony. The
bar laughed, but the Judge looked puz-
zled. Some weeks after that when AZ
home the point dawned on him, and he
broke into a loud laugh Upon his wife
inquiring the cause Of his merriment
he explained that the solicitor had call
ed Sallie Mooney, and when she did
not answer he had said he could not
proceed without ceremony. The wife
said she did not see the point. The
judge said it had taken him three weeks
to find it, but when she did see it it
would be very funny Bag.

EVERYBODY has heard of the great st.

80 many travellers who have fallen ex-

newfoundland dogs who save people from

some one they love; of dogs who will
garry baskets in their mouths, and Of

Raw Provisions.
Nearly all of the cities and towns of
Georgia have contributed something to
relieve starvation in Nebraska, and a
few fragmentary shipments are still pass
ing through Macon for points in the
famine-stricken territory. Several car
loads were carried by the Southern to
Atlanta last week. The stories of hun
ger land want are not so numerous as
they have been, but the last issue of a
Nebraska weekly paper had story de-
scribing the situation in this effect:
In a country town man entered a
store and tried to purchase sack of
-four. The merchant refused to sell it
to him, because of the general scarcity
of the article. The man plead with the
merchant to no avail. Selling an oppor-
tunity the man stole the flour, and was
pursued to his home by the officers of the
law. Arrived there the scene was one
calculated to bring tears to the eyes of
the most callous. Pale and CHASTITY the
poor wretch's wife and children were
ravenously eating the raw fouE-too
hungry to await it's preparation.
This is said to be the situation among
thousands upon thousands OF people.

TIT FOR TAT.

This is one Of Sam Small's little poem
and the advice each gave to the other
so good that both ought to have take
it:
The editor told the farmer:
"Don't make your old mistake
And plant your land with cotton
AS the only crop to make;
You'll overdo the business
And bring the prices down,
And then next fall come cussin
All thro' this pious town!
Diversity your planting
Make 'taters. corn and oats,
Get hogs of fancy breeding
And raise some dandy thoats;
Have chickens, ducks, guineas
About your place to roam,
And thus be independent
By living all at homer
The farmer eyed the scribbler
With glare,as cold as ice,
And said: 1--WE often wanted
To give you some advice.
Why don't you run your paper
With all the lates: news?
We folks out in the country
4 Don't want your silly views
"Give up the patent inside,
Throw out the biler-plate,
And dish up county doings
Directly up to date;
Quit tryin' to teach US farmers
The way to till our loan,
And print your sheet at home"

Of the strikers. The mining companies
are determined to move their ore after
months idleness and Governor Rich
has. dispatched six companies of the
Fifth regiment Of infantry to the scene
for the purpose Of affording all the pro-
lection which the sheriff and the own
ers of the great mines may need to
keep the peace and resume business.
The thousand odd strikers, skilled
miners, laborers, trimmers and steam
shovel men, who have been reduced to
desperate straits by their idleness and
the prospects Of seeing other men fill
their places, threaten to prevent the
operation Of the shovels, and the sit
uation is alarming. Colonel Lyon. Of
the Fifth regiment, arrived here this
afternoon with two companies Of his
regiment from Houghton, and at once
put his men In camp under strict dis
cipline. expecting serious work for them
tomorrow.
The merchants, who were at first. in
sympathy with the strikers, are now
against them for their stubbornness.
and have refused to extend credit for
provisions, which has resulted in much
privation among the families of the
strikers. The business men fear loot
ing Of their stores. and armed watch
men patrol the streets and guard the
interior Of business houses tonight.
