MATRIMONIAL FREAKS.

Two Atlanta Cases that Have Never APP
peared in the Newspapers.
Atlanta is proverbial for being the
home of strange people.
For instance, near the centre of the
city lives a former belle of another
city. She was married. but after
short time both parties concluded a
mistake had been made. The wife kept
their only child, daughter.
Later on she married a widower and
is now living happily with him. Hus-
band No. returned to Atlanta and is
now boarding with his ex-wife and her
husband, while his own daughter has
been adopted by husband No. 2.
Another instance recently reported
shows a general mixing up. A promi-
nent lady ian old maid) raised all her
half sisters and half brothers, all of
whom are now married. Recently she
met the step father of the husband of
one of her half sisters. He was a
widower, 1t was a case of love at first
sight and they were soon welded and
live with the old maids mother. Her
friends are trying now to decide her
relationship to her half sister, whose
step father-in-law she married. These
are actual casss from real lite.

Largely Attended by Ladies as Well as the
Old Guard.
The Populists held a picnic rally at
Cumming, July 80, at which General
VIM Phillips addressed a large crowd
in which there were many ladies.
His speech was well received and
brought into line every wavering re-
former as well as converting several
Democrats who came out and declared
themselves with the party.
Senator Brooks and others spoke in
the afternoon.
Clerk Orr Hospitality entertained the
speakers at his home, one of the cosiest
in the entire section. Messrs. Strick-
land, Guthrie, Moore and others of the
committee made their visit pleasant
one.
Forsyth county is Popullst three to
one. All the county officers are Popu-
lists, and the fine county roads and
new iron bridges show their progress
sive spirit.
The picnic was held on the lawn in
the courthouse square in the shade
of wide spreading oaks. General Phil
lips was Solicitor General of this cir
cult in 1850 and met many old friends.
On the return trip Editor Wilson of
the Buford Alliance Plow Boy, enter

Attorney Glenn claims Flanagan is
afflicted seems to have spread recently.
A man named Moyes from Greenville,

New York attorney and an expert on
mental diseases. He attempted to
assist Col. Glenn in defending Flanagan
After Flanagan's sentence it was found
that Moyes was crazier than even Col,
Glenn insisted was Flanagan. He was
arrested and sent home after, however,
several capers in Atlanta which showed
his insanity.
few days afterwards another man
claiming he was pursued by the police
called at police headquarters for pro.
lection. He is affected in the same
manner.

CARRY APPLING.
Two Democratic Candidates Beaten by
the Straight Middle Reader.

HAzLEHURsT, GA, Aug. 4.-The Pop

wings of the party. Party lines were
sharply drawn and the Populist candi-
date went in by q majority over all of
16 votes. We are gaining ground rap
idly and the democrats generally are
careless and don't seem to care which
way things go.

NISBETT UNDER FIRE.
The BInao ,k Committee and Col. Swift are
Saying Hard Things.

Commissioner of Agriculture Nesbitt
opened the bids for guano tags Monday
at the State house.
The state printers bid through two
employees Col. Prather at 9719 cents
per thousand and J. A. Hayden at rs
cents. The contract went to II. l..
Girtman of Savannah at 81 cents.
Last year the State paid $l,6O per
thousand and only as far back as 1891,
So, each year showing decrease of 10
cents in the price.
Representative Swift has come out
in an interview declaring the Commits
sioner's action outrageous He claims
he has bids as low as zoe per thousand
and in bulk TIC In his interview, Mr.
Swift says:
81 am willing to stake my reputation
that I could have secured all the Sc
tags for which Mr.. Nesbitt has paid
S42, ia, A for Sc 600. l have no hest
fancy in saying that right here in
Atlanta l have found merchants who
say that six years ago they could buy
these same tags for 40 cents per 1000
in spite of any imaginary patent The
work of the committee has secured a
reduction of 81, 94O, as compared with
the tag expenditure last year, but it
should have been more than that.
Nesbitt proposes to pay 50, 100, and if
he had taken the bid l offered him he
could have gotten them for $500. These
are facts which 1 don't believe it will
be easy to get away from"
Col. Nisbett has refused to be- inter
viewed.
A few years ago, it is reported, about
1898, he asked for bids and received sew
eral, one at a price that saved the state
a large sum When the matter was
brought to final decision, he decided
that the state printers (who had in the
meantime learned of the competition
and lowered their figures trifle, de-
handing the contract as their right
should be given that years contract at
their own figures.
