The President has concluded his visit TO
Thomasville. 1t is sincerely hoped, and
believed, that his rest and recreation have
been beneficial to him. The ozone of the
piney woods is a powerful stmulant, and
the President has had good weather dur
ing his visit in which to enjoy out-of-door
exercise and fill his lungs full
of the balmy, health giving fra
GRANGE of the pines. He said to
an inquirer a day or two ago: Il
never feI. better in my life. This is a fine
place, and always enjoy being here" II
Is to be hoped that he may be long spared
to make many more visits to Georgia. AS
President or private citizen, he will be
welcome.

Advertising Pays.

Thomas Tall is the name of a Justice
of the peace at Clayton, Mich, who has
been doing a land-office business as a tier
of the nuptial knot, says the Baltimore
Herald. Justice Tall believes that mar
riage is more of business partnership
than otherwise, anyhow, and that the
marrying of people may be made a fit
subject for advertising enterprise. In con-
sequence of his liberal announcements in
the papers of his own and adjoining coun-
ties, it Is said that the calls upon him are
so numerous as to monopolize his entire
time The following card in the Clayton
Gazette will show Justice Tails style of
advertising:
IF A MANS IN LOVE,
That's his business.
IF A GIRLS IN LOVE,
That's her business.
IF THEY CONTEMPLATE
MATRIMONY,
That's my business.
THOMAS TALL,
Justice of the Pease.
P. 81 always reserve the right to kiss

desired. Wood taken in part payment.
Clayton has become the Mecca of run
away couples from every part of the
state. Young people consider it a great
honor to be Joined in wedlock by a man
who has shown such commendabe enter
prise. Justice Tail is, according to all ac-
counts growing rich. This is, indeed, a
most striking illustration of the truth of
the maxim that advertising pays"

voked certain contracts for rapid-flre guns made

and Ammunition Company. Of this city. The rea-

the guns and had fallen far behind In their de-

At the Office OF the company No. 120 Liberty-st.,

told a Tribune reporter yesterday afternoon that
the rumor was untrue. He added that his company
had aroused the enmity Of It's rivals by procuring
one order from the Ordnance Department about a
year ago for one hundred rapd-fre guns. which
were to COS; 10000 and owing to unforeseen dif-
culties arising in their manufacture and also some
changes in specifications there had certainly been
some delay in the delivery. There was just enough
truth he said in that part Of the published report
to build a mean story upon but the Govern
ment's own inspector, stationed at the company s
works in Derby. Conn, had certified that III -
plant was ample to complete the contract.
The statement that none OF the guns were yet
finished was also untrue, Mr.. briggs said There
was no cause for the outcry against his company
but jealousy A few months ago the Government
opened bids for eighty more guns. and the Driggs.
Seabury people again outbid all competitors, ana
the Ordnance Department again awarded the con-
tract to them. This fairly enraged Its rivals, Mr..
Drugs says, and they got the ear OF Mr.. Meikle-

HOW IT SURPRISED THE PLAINTIFF IN A SUIT

The Rapid Transit Ferry Company sued in
the Supreme Court last week for $4,000 damages by
Thomas d. Maitland. who alleged that he had
been injured mentally by shock and fright while on
board of one Of the company's boats. He said that
he thrown to the deck OF the vessel she
entering her slip. The plaintiff was examined
by Lester w. Clark. attorney for the ferry com
pany, and Maitland testified that when he lost his
balance on that occasion he also lost his memory
but suffered no physical harm.
II. Valentine Wdman was called as an expert on
insanity. and the Of the plaintiff was making
good progress when Justice Bischon suspended
proceedings and told the attorneys he wished to
speak privately with them. The Judge then aston
ished both sides by telling them that he remem-
bered being in 1881 member OF the Commission
that he said, committed Maitland TO the Asylum
for the Insane Wards Island, from which Malt
land was discharged and subsequently recommitted
Maitland's counsel thereupon asked permission to
withdraw a Juror and the dismissed.
