You will need a piece of household
furniture-a bedstead, a table, a wash
stand, a sideboard, a rocker, or a set of
chairs. Few households there are, in
deed, that do not stand in need of some
thing in the furniture line. Now when
you are in Macon go to j. f. Skeletons
furniture establishment and inspect his
immense stock. 1t is the place to get
cheap, medium, and fine furniture.

'possum in a hollow, Ches and his

that 'possum, but having no axe to cut

with this Ches went up the tree again

the tree, where it was easily secured.
1t was a r sport for the boys-catching

The objection to the amendment

We were in erorr it seems, when we
spoke, a short time since, of Joseph
Rose as the sole survivor of the grand
armee.' Out of the 44,OOO grizzled
warriors who claimed, in 1869, the st.

lie Petit Coporal." there still remains
one to answer to the muster call. Vic
tor Baillod of Percy, in the YOnne,
is year senior to his departed COM
rade. having been born April Q, 1893.
He joined the ranks in 1872, at Colmer,
and formed part Of the 1O5th Foot,
under DavOust, with whom he went
through the siege of Hamburg. Ball
iod was without doubt Waterloo
hero, and he has good reason to re-
member that eyentful day, for he fell
under the charge of the British caval-
ry, got saber cut across the skull,
which would probably have cut short
his career but for mis- huge shake, and
was carried off to England as pris-
oner of war. His name found place
among the list of dead, but year
later he returned to the bosom of his
family, and q medical board gave him
his discharge on the ground that he
was in the last stages of colsump-
ton. Since that date he has fingered
on through eighty summers, and hopes
to see the end of the century before lie
bids farewell to the world.-London

And mere IN THIS county, as you know,
oats were scarcely worth 10 cents bushel,
and potatoes could not be sold at any price,
all of which goes to show that small crops
bring big prices, and big crops small prices.
In reply to all these facts and conditions
we are still gravely and solemnly told by
the advocates of free and unlimited coinage
that it is the appreciation of gold that has
caused all this fall of prices, and they seek
to overturn the force Of these facts and to
convince us that they are right, by means
of charts, index numbers and far-fetched
assumptions. But their arguments are of
n piece with their plan Of raising prices.
Cheaper your money, and you will get bet
ter prices, better wages, become richer,
and all your property will advance in value.
This is the essence of their prescription.
You have been enfeebled with dear. money
gold. They propose to cure you with
cheap money-silver. The diagnosis is as
simple as the remedy is unique and simple.
Silver esislatiOn.
Before closing, permit me, in order to
remove any erroneous impressions, and to
correct many false or unfair insinuations,
to give a brief narrative of our silver cur
rency and the legislation affecting the same.
l have already told you, by adopting, in
1884 and 1887, the ratio of 16 to 1, in the
face of the European ratio of 1871 to 1, it
drove all our silver out of circulation and
left us with nothing but gold and some
cheap foreign silver. From 1850 till the
outbreak of the war; in 1861, there was not
a single American dollar in circulation. The
oldest person in this audience did not see
a silver dollar till he saw a Bland dollar of
1873. We should not, during this period,
have had even subsidiary silver-small
change-but for the fact that in 1854 the
ratio Of this money was changed from 16 to
14.8S, and the free coinage of it suspended.
Prior to 1861 there had been coined in all
about 100000 of silver dollars, but they
had utterly disappeared from circulation
and were evidently shipped abroad ard sold
