LOST MOUNTAIN.

A large number from here attended
the singing at New Salem Sunday.
Some people attend these all day sing
ings who never go to church. The
drain on churches and Sabbath schools
near around where these all day sing
ings are held is so great that they are
almost or quite broken up by the sing
ing.
The gentleman from County Line,
who urged all to attend preaching be-
fore going to the singing, we noticed,
was among the first to pass Sunday
morning going to the singing. Prac-
tice what you preach, brother. Sing
ing is essential in public worship, but
whether these all day singings accom-
plish what the organizers intended or
not is still question in our mind.
While our people have their minds
directed on the war, they should not
let people come in and teach false
doctrines and establish their faith in
our fair christian land. Mormon Ell
ders are travelling all over the county

their literature as they go. Let the

The event of the season thus far i'm

Capt. Boyd "shoOk the dust" of the

wife and charming daughter came to
Georgia to spend the evening of his
days in more congenial cline. He
bought farm near Powder Springs

merrily on and by shutdown the job was
completed, monument to the hospi-
tality, kindness and friendly feeling of
the honest, true, manly people to be
found all through Cobb county. After
a sumptuous supper, all received the
hearty thanks of our friend Boyd, and
all departed for our homes with the
earnest desire that some one in this
immediate neighborhood will soon call
us out to attend an old fashioned Geor-
gia barn raising. NXZ

Gen. kitchener,s Bu1lef.

The sirdar of the Egyptian army, says
the Newcastle (Eng) Chronicle, once had
a very extraordinary experience, having
swallowed a bullet with which he now pre-
serves as a memento. During the campaien
of 1888 Maj. Kitchener was hit in the side
of the face by bullet during a skirmisb
near Sualkim, and was taken down the
Nile, and thence to the Citadel hospital. at
Cairo, where despite all the efforts of the
surgeons. the bullet could not be located
The wound was a healthy one, and soon
healed, and the medical officers came IA
the conclusion that the bullet had worked
its way out without being noticed, on the
passage down the Nile. The majors nurse
one day tempted the patients appetite with
a tasty beefsteak, which the major had no
sooner attacked than he put his hand TO
his throat. exciaimins: Billion, If there
was no bone in the steak I've swallowed

Got The suit She wanted.

Il didn't quite know what my husbands
attitude would be on the bathing suit ques-
tion," said the Juno-Iike girl who was only
married last fall, according to the Wash
ington Post, to some of her married wo-
men friends before she went away 10 The
beach, and so l thought I'd just try him.
Some men are so funny about women >
bathing suits, you know. ! hate a baggy
GA bathing suit with no style about it,
but I didn't want 10 buy one that George
would not like, so I borrowed Mrs. Annual
Leaves. Mrs. Annual Leave is very strict
IN her ideaA, you know, and her bathing
suit Is a fright. 1t is trimmed nice enough,
but the-well, IL is long, you know, and
bagsy and full Of draw strings and all that
kind of foohshness. So a couple of nights
ago, while George was going over his out
ing shirts and things 1 put this bathing
suit on. Then went into the room where
George was packing.
How do you like my bathing suit?" I
asked him.
You ought to have seen the funny in
spection he gave, me.
DO you call. that shroud a bathing
suit" he finally asked me. And do you
think you're going into the water with
me with a hay-bag thing like that on you?
For II you do, you're mixed, that's all.
why didn't you get one with train to 1t
while you We're about it? You look like
pappoose with that thing on. You're all
swaddled up You don't belong to any
nunnery yet awhile, you know. Just you
run down town tomorrow and change
that thing. 1t may be all right for my
grandmother out in Iowa, but it don't go
Ior you, and you hear me- Why, you'd
get the laugh if you wore that. What's
the use of being built the right way if
you're going 10 make a show of yourself
in a rig like that?
Well didn't say anything, but yester-
day went down and got just the kind of
a bathing suit wanted, and when put it
on last night and showed it to George he
said looked like one Of the colored sup
plement pictures in 1t, and that it was all
right, all right. Before I was married you
all told me that men were such queer,
contrary things but I don't believe they
are at ALL"

THE CITY COMMISSIONS.

We do not think that a majority of the
people of the city are against managing
the different departments of the city gov
ernment by means of commissions. On the
contrary, the indications are unmistaka-
BILE that the majority sentiment is that
commissions in good hands and under prop
or restrictions are good things. IT, there
fore, our representatives in the Legislature
should go to Atlanta with the purpose of
wiping out the commissions they would
probably find themselves without the sup
port of the people.
There are objections to the commissions
as at present constituted, and very strong
ones. But they are objections that can be
removed. For instance, the commissions
should be subordinate TO the City Council.
Unless such Is the case it will be about
impossible to have harmony between the
administration and the commissions. They
win be working at cross purposes most of
the time. In order to secure the best re-
suits from the commissions they must be
in close touch with the Mayor and the
aldermen. At present the Mayor and
Council have no control whatever of the
commissions. For much of the life of the
present administration most of the COM
missions managed their respective
departments without any regard 10 the
wishes of the Mayor and Council. This
condition of affairs kept alive factional
feeling, which is not conducive to the best
results in municipal government. The law
creating the commissions should not be re-
pealed; it should be amended, and the
amendments should be of such a eharac-
ter as would make the commissions sub
ordinate to the Mayor and Council. The
Mayor and Aldermen are responsible to
the people for the proper management of
the various departments of the city gov
eminent and therefore ought to have the
power to say who shall manage those de-
bartments The Mayor and Council ought
not 10 have the power TO remove com
missioner for purely political reasons. but
they should have the power to remove
them for incompetency, neglect of duty
or for not complying with the policy of
the administration in respect to the man
agement of city affairs. In other words.
the city administration and the commits
sions Should be in harmony in all matters
pertaining to the city's business affairs.
If the commission law should be amend
ed in accordance with these views it is
probable that there would be no further
trouble in respect TO the commissions 1t
would be a mistake to abolish the commits
sions. With them 1t is possible to get a bet
ter class of aldermen than without them.
Business men will not consent to become
members of the Council If they are re-
quired to devote large part of their time.
outside of Council meetings, to the city's
business.
