How few secure a habitation whose
rooms are charming in every particu'
lar! Something Is usually too high
or too low, too wide or too narrow.
We have a pleasant way of remedying
all such defects.
Suppose, for example, ceiling is
too high; the doors and windows long
and narrow. We lower the apparent
height and make the room look beau
tiful by paneling the ceiling, using
horizontal bands of color on the walls,
broadening the effect of the doors and
windows with draperies and lattice
work designs.

Tom Watson Talks.

The Hon. Thomas Watson oil
Georgia declares that the Popnlist
party is going to pieces and in a
short time nothing will be left of il
except its memory, and its members
who were formerly Democrats will
return to the Democratic party and
the Republican element will again
be absorbed BY the Republican par.
~. Tom Watson is a man not with,
out intellectual ability and 10 spite
of the fact that he is a political
crank he is forced to observe the
handwriting on the wall. A politi-
cal party that is dominated by crank
ism Of a most virulent form can not
live 10 this country. and the wonder
is tie Populists' organization lived
as long as it has. The Populists are
now split into warning factions, and
the disintegration Of their party
which has already begun will soon
be rapid and complete and it will
cease to be a factor in American
politics.-States.
If the Populist party fails to go to
pieces as Watson and Bro. Hearsey
predict it will be none of their fault.
The craDks 10 it like Watson, to.
gether with the crooks like the Ohio
anti fnsionists who are trying to
elect Hanna United States Senator
are sufficient to disrupt the party
and when that time does come it will
be the Democratic party, if it holds
to its present true course, and not
the Republican party, which will alb
sorb the honest and intelligent ele-
ment Of the Populist party.

Where's the Prosperity:

Our neighbor, 4. 7. Max6eld, the

friend in Chino, California, from

tract. The writer is a dyed in the

dier in the late war, but he is too
honest to call black white, merely
for opinions sake :
"Where is the Prosperity that Nc

of the Colfax Chronicle undertook
TO call down Hicks on O'Malley's
general reputation as an ex- jail bird

came back in the following decided

Cursed God and is Punished.

About Adrian, Georgia, saya the
Atlanta journal IS thoroughly
aroused over the wierd runor IF q
divine visitation which comes from
Troops Ferry, just beyond the
Oconee river and about % miles
from here. The story, while it SUR
passes belief, is repeated ia every
quarter and the people of the sur
rounding country are wrought up to
the highest pitch of religious excite
ment over it. The strange story FOL
lows
One night last week several oegro
turpentine workers were playing
cards near the ferry. One negro
had seven dollars at the beginning
of the game, bnt lost steadily until
a, last he had left only one dollar.
Holding this high above his head he
swore that if he lost it, he would
curse God. In the next deal be lost
it, and in consequence, he executed
his oath.
HE VoMITED FLAMES
No sooner had he done 90, than
he was heard to scream, and his
companions on looking at him, saw
that sulpharous flames poured from
his mouth, ears, eyes and nose.
Terribly frightened they at first
ran away, but DON returned and en-.
deavored to relieve his sufferings.
Water poured upon him was with
out avail. A blanket was brought
forward and they attempted to wrap
him with it, in order to extingaish
the fumes, but the would be rescuers
were kept away by some mysterious
power. About four feet was as near
as an approach could be made TO the
unfortunate victim.
Then. thinking that the log on
which he sat was in some responsible
for his %predlcament they began to
saw it off near the point on which
he sat. The first incision Of the saw
caused blood to drip from it and to
fall, with the saw dust, to the
gsonod. An X vas next sent for
bnt it, use revealed the fact that in
every part The log was filled with
veins Of blood.
COULDN'T BE MOVED.
Taen they threw a moose Of a rope
over the negto's cody and tried to
phil him away from his position.
According to reports they might
as well have attempted to draw a
star from the sky. The rope in con
sequence of its contact with tue body
of the victim, rendered as naught the
great strength of those who would
save him.
There he sits, rnmor says, consa-
ming, yet with no probability Of
ever being utterly consumed-dyiug
always, yet not dead-living in and
breathing the fire Of bell, crying for
water, which poured upon him
causes him to scream as mortal was
never heard TO shrek before. /
