Thousands of sightseers line the river

The scenes are beyond the power of
human tongue to describe. Thousands

A GEORGIA PIGEON STORY.
DrOves of Them Obscured the Sun for
Hours at Time.

DrOves of Them Obscured the Sun for
Hours at "a Time.
Uncle George Turner, of Douglasville,
is responsible for the following, and
many others will vouch for it's truthful
ness: Mr.. Turner says that back in
1858, the settling of this country, il
was infested with wild pigeons,
and that ON several occasions he has seen
them passing over here in such droves
that it was impossible to see the sun for
hours at time. Over on Burnt Hicko-
ry Ridge, beyond -allas, was a pigeon
roost, and large timbers we're broken
down by SO many of the birds lighting
on limbs. He said that they were so
thick that when going to roost they
would pile one upon another and many
of the under ones would be mashed to
death. Dock Harding, an old man liv-
ing on the ridge, shot and killed eighty
one at one shot.

Hanna Makes a Speech.

From the Savannah News.
Senator Hanna of Ohio has made his
debut as an orator in the senate. His
speech was as follows: "Mr. President:
desire to introduce bill for public
building at Cleveland, ohio" Compe-
tent critics of the art of OlatOry heard
him deliver this model speech, and pro-
nounce his style to be perfect. His deli
cate shades OF information marked him as
perfect master of elocution-for speech
es of that length. According to vera
cious and careful Washington newspa-
per in that speech:he ran the whole gam.
ut of eloqueuce, from mellifiuous
rhythm when be pronounced the word
"desire" to passionate defamation
when he euunoiated "public building at
Cleveland. His perOration, reached in
the pronunciation of the name of bis
state. "Ohio," is said to have been SUBJ
lime. The speech, throughout the fif-
teen words, was accompanied with appro-
pirate gesture and pose. Senator Hanna
Is said to have held the undivided attep-
ton Of the senate throughout the whols
time of its delivery. And there were
some people who doubted that Mr.. Han
ma would be in his element in the SEN
ate!
