Little yellow Dandelion, herald of the Spring
You are looking just as fine in your gold
and green
AS you did in days of yore in the long ago,
When we plucked you by the door for your
down to blow
One o'clock, two O'Clock, just as we desired,
We would blow your downy top until We
were tired;
Then we'd split your milky stems into silvery
Into garlands weaving them, little boys and
girls.
You're the first to come in Spring, e'er the
snow is gone:
OF all the flowers to which cling you're the
dearest one.
Though you have another name, 1 can ne'er
decline
To love you just the very same, Yellow Dan
delion.
See these bony fingers now,--all the dimples
gone,
burrows scattered DER my brow, lifes begun
to wane.
Could 1 blow the hours today back to olden
times,
Then my head would be less gray, little
Dandelion.
l may never see you mora in the coming hours
When you dot the landscape DER with your
golden flowers
Other hands the same as mine then to you
will cling,
Little Yellow Dandelion, herald of the Spring.

The stevens Organ Co. Que OF Our Most
Successful Industries.
Tne rapidity with which the splendid
products of the Stevens Organ Comp
any are meeting with deserved recog-
milton of their merits is cause for NUT
ual congratulations between the city
and the gentlemen interested in the
plant The business has already grown
beyond the present capacity and the
possible output of every department
will have to be increased Immediately.
In a single day, Monday, eight orders
were received, representing the capac-
ity of the factory for, week. Over 15O
instruments are now in process of con-
struction and the demand is by no
means satisfied. Dsglac 81 5o9 .s....-
Yesterday we inspected one of the
new style n. organs being shipped to-
the Athens State Hospital, and with
out hesitation pronounce the instru7
ment one of the very finest. The case
is finished in burl walnut, 5.ply veneer
ing. The same instrument is also fin
ished in finely figured mahogany and
white quartered oak. Besides this the
factory is turning out two other new
styles, B in solid walnut and solid
cherry, and E in solid white oak and
solid mahogany.
There are many people in Marietta
who will probably never realize the ex-
tent and completeness of this institu-
ton, and the excellence of it's product,
until they have paid the factory

 nious Convention.

From the time when the memory of man runneth not to the contrary
 ttharmony" has been the siae qua non Of the Republican party in Jefferson county. It is the one thing want ing in the party councils today, and if honest effort were not something baked by selfish greed for this worlds goods, the Jefferson county Republicans would smile benignly upon a suffering public as united whole. This union however has not been consummated, nor is it likely to be soon, as the race ques- ton plays an important part in the present split. Friday night the fac tion known as the Lilly Whites" met over Wares saloon and did business to the amount of recom- mending some of their number for county office, and this is what they decided upon: For Sheriff, A. G. Thompson, for Circuit Clerk, J. W. Sanders, for members of the leg islature, J. B. York and R. M. Galbraith. It was white. There was not even mulatta colored speek upon it. Without a blemish it stood forth in all of it's beauty and simplicity, and suddenly there was wonderful depression in the coon market. Another meeting must be held at once and so yesterday after noon at Havis Hall the Rosebud" :" met. They were composed of every color from a pale ayaller" to a jet black. The odor of the lily was not distinguishable though there were a few pale faces among the gang.
 Speech making was the feature of the occasion. H. r. Auten, pro minent in State politics, made an ad- dress in which he denounced the Jefferson county Democratic ma chine. It was invented first he said to steal from the negro. Suppressed litter from the lily white specta tors). It was next used to steal from the white Republicans, (vociferous ap- plause from the aromatic circlel The next thing the Democrats would be stealing from themselves. Wild. est enthusiasm bordering on har mony.)
 Jerry Palmer, erstwhile Deputy Circuit Clerk, was heard from. He didn't like the way the lily whites were doing Hereferred to them as members of the other "sex' and did not believe in being too intimate with them. After an hour or so of useless talk they adjourned, after calling a regular convention to meet on the 10th of August, at which time they will nominate ticket to be regularly beaten by the Demo- cratic nominees.

BRYAN AND SEWALL
The Name of New Cigar Placed on the Market by Baughman &
 Baughman.

With characteristic enterprise the firm of Baughman X Baughman, manufacturers of cigars, placed on the market yesterday new 5 cent cigar named in honor of the Demo cratic standard bearers, Byran and Sewall. We are indebted to this firm for a box of their new brand of cigars, which we have duly sampled, and we can now bear testimony to the merits of the same from a smokers standpoint. The cigars are made of an excellent quality of tobacco and are as good as any D. cent cigar on the market. The boxes for this new brand are hand somely labelled with Photographic likenesses of the Presidential and Vice Presidential nominees, and the cigars are put up in a very attrac- tive manner.
 Messrs. Baughmau < Baughman on yesterday sent out 6 large lot oi their new cigars by express to sur rounding towns, and already have big demand for this new brand, which taxes their establishment te it's fullest capacity to supply. This is an evidence not only of the popu larity of Baughman & Baughman a' cigar makers, but of the popularity of the Democratic nominees as well
 We congratulate Messrs. Baugh man < Baughman upon their enter prise, for it must be remembere' that it has been but little more thai a week slnce the nominations wer made.

 Well, Said MT Quattlebaum, the enterprising merchant of sherrill, to the GRAPHIC representative as he stepped of the train Friday, "you've gotten here and we're ready for you. Of course we want our town represented in your big special edition, and I am ready to start the ball rolling for you. And he did, and so did everybody else in that thriving community. The entire county is in accord with Pine Bluff in this affair, and wherever the GRAPHIC representative goes he is met with an ovation and an assur- ance: Eff you don't see what you @ant-ask for it-aGd it shall be given you. Such an edition as this will certainty be the most val uable index to the entire county ever published. The enthusiasm is Indeed great and grows larger as each day is numbered with the past. Our citizens throughous this entire section begin to realize henecessity of putting this city and county be- fore the world in their true colors, and inviting immigration, and no doubt this great edition will accom- plish a vast good for Jefferson coun- ty, and our enterprising citiznes are doing all in their power to make it a success. During this coming. week the other towns in the county will be visited and it is sincerely hoped that they will do equally as well as Redfeld, Sherrill and other portions of the county have done.
