I pointed out Lost mountain, and
when we reached the station that they
used to call Big Shanty, the old man
stretched up another inch and point
ing his trembling hand, said: Fright
over there is the spring where used
to fill my old canteen. Yes, would
be glad to stop long enough to walk
over there and take one more drink Of
that water. We licked them yankees
all around here, but there was too
many of 'em-too many. TbSS w

The old man was familiar with every
place we passed, and talked fast and
eagerly. When he told me he was
from old Gwinnett and had farm on
Yaller river. I was drawn closer to
him and asked him about the CTaigs
and Vaughans and the old Moses Lid
dell place and Shoal creek and Mont
gomery's mill pond and Fairview
church and the old manual labor
school. The old man looked at me
again and again with bewildered Gu
riosity and finally ventured to ask
what mout my name be.
"Did You know the Alexandors and
Stricklands and Nathan Hutchins?"
said 1.
"Oh, yes, 1 knowed DR.. Alexander.

lauds from old Milza down, and I

"What mout your name be?" said
he.
"Did you know an old man in Law

"Why, OF course did; everybody
knowed him. l traded in his store
for years. He moved away to Floyd
county just before the war. Did you
ever live in .Lawrenceville?
''Do you remember a little dark
skin, black-eyed girl who used to ride
horseback up that road? She was Fltz
Hutchins' sister"
"Why. of course I do. Everybody
knew her. She used to go to the old
judges farm on the river, II miles
from town and 60 alone, and she went
in hurry and come back with bag
Of apples or peaches hanging to the
horn of her saddle. She married old
Asa Smiths son. if I don't mistake. l

The postofflce department has complaints
against fifty or sixty presidential postmasters
throughout the country. the President pro-
hibiting them from taking an active part in
politics Most OF these cases are In the
West, particularly Illinois and Iowa. 1t is
hardly probable that the Postmaster General
will take action against all the offenders but
deal only with the mos. ilagrant.

Consul General Lee says that the rumor
that he may not go back to Havana because
Spain objects to him has no foundation in
fact. He certainly would have heard it IL
there were any truth in the idea HIS rela-
tions to General Weylcr have been cordial,
and when they parted several weeks ago
they exchanged photographs bearing auto
graphic expressions of friendship There
can certainly be nothing against him, as off,
cially as consul general of the United States
in the present situation, Spain could hardly
take an exception to his performance Of
duty.

Chicago. April 27.--wheat showed
weakness all the session; the current
news brought little announcement for
holders. and as the local sentiment was
bearlsh, and the professionals inclined
TO take the selling side, while there was
n conspicuous absence of support from
any quarter. the market was depressed
from the start. The weekly Russian
and Danubinn shipments were cnor-
nous, $4,000 bushels, due probably 10
the opening OF Russian navigation
everywhere. This made the total
worlds shipments 7.iss,OO0 bushels. The
visible supply did not show as large
a decrease as had been expected-only
$4,000 bushels. where there was de-
crease OF ESQ., 900 year ago. That and
the fine growing weather were the rea-
sons for a weaker wheat market at the
opening, and generally during the fore
noon. The Minneapolis and Duluth re-
ceipts were larger than n week ago at
sos cars to-day, compared with All last
Monday and 5l4 on the similar day Of
last year The market continued to
weaken during the last hour.
Corn was quiet and lower, May show
ing the most weakness.
The weakness displayed by wheat
and large estimated receipts for to-
morrow caused considerable liauida-
ton.
In oats only a fair business was do
ing, the feeling being weak In sympa-
thy with wheat and corn
Provisions were very weak, principal
ly due to the large receipts Of hogs,
although the general weakness Of the
grain markets had some influence. July
pork closed zoe lower; July lard 10c. and
July ribs 10c lower.
Estimated for o-morrow--Wheat, 1S
cars corn, 42s cars; oats, 40 cars; hogs.
