We occasionally find some unusually in
teresting items in the country correspond
ence of our esteemed contemporary, the
Macon Telegraph. We find two tid-bits
In its issue of Nov %. One is in the cor
respondence from La Crosse. which is in
Schley county. and the other is in the
correspondence from Ogethorpe, which is
in Macon county. The first from La
Crosse. reads as follows 1T is ques-
ton yet to be solved whether the dog law
will do more good in saving sheep and
eggs than it win do harm by causing our
country to be overrun with wildcats, pole,
cats. opposums, rabbits and foxes; and
It may be that the Legislature in the fu-
ture may be known as the 'doggedesf one
we have ever had" The second, that
from Oglethorpe, reads as follows: Some
of our country cousins are kicking about
the dog law, as they seem to think it a
strike at their personal liberty" Pre-

THE REUNION A SUCCESS.

The first reunion Of the Georgia Divis-
ion OF the United Confederate Veterans
to be held in Savannah, which came to
an end yesterday. VIII go down In the his
tory OF the order as one Of the most graft
tying and successful occasions Of the kind
ever held anywhere. Savannah has more
than sustained her reputation for hospi-
tally, and love and respect for the men
of the sixties-she has added 20 It. From
first to last nothing has been left IN
done which might have been done to add
to the comfort and enjoyment of her
guests. Nothing was too good for them,
and II they did not see what they wanted
they were urged to ask for it. Nor was
there in the slightest degree any sugges-
ton Of commercialism in the welcome 10
the veterans Savannah neither hoped
nor expected 10 make cent out Of the oc-
casion but on the other hand she loosed
her purse strings and gave literally TO
make the reunion the success it was.
Persons who have attended reunions in
other cides-of the interstate organiza-
tion as well as Of the state dvisions-have
no hesitation in comparing Savannah's
demonstration with the others, 10 the adj
vantage Of Savannah. Especially is this
true in the matter of the decoration A
gentleman who has visited several re-
unions says that in no city has he ever
seen more elaborate, appropriate ard tasty
decorations than here.
The whole population of the city en-
tered into the spirit of the occasion, and
a every opportunity filed the streets to
cheer the old soldiers and assure them
that their heroic deeds will never be for
gotten. The Inequalities Of the home
circle, too, were extended to the visitors
very generally Savannah is not given
to self-laudaton, but in this instance she
feels sure that she has acquitted herself
well and that she will always be remem-
bered kindly by the old heroes whom it
was her pleasure to entertain.
The thanks of the community are due,
and we are sure will be accorded. to the
gentlemen of the several committees of
the reunion, who gave SO literally of their
time, talents and labor to perfect the ar
engagements. Especially are thanks due to
Col. John Screven, chairman of the Joint
Executive Committee. whose .tireless ener-
gy and activity contributed so largely to
the success of the undertaking And the
committeeman may congratulate them
selves upon having carried through a great
and important function, lacking nowhere
in detail, without the occurrence of a hitch
or hard feeling in any quarter. Indeed,
the reunion was love feast.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Memphis Commercial-Appeal (Dem.)
says: Some of our esteemed contempora-
ries pretend that there is a great signifi-
canoe in the alleged dropping of the silver
issue by the National Executive Commit
tee of the Democratic party, which recent
ly met al Chicago. AS the Executive Com
mittee is not authorized 10 write the party
platform and can neither insert nor reject
any particular plank, it of course has not
dropped The financial issue, and no sig
nihcance is to be attached to the failure
of the members to discuss that question

ton assembled viii draw up the platform,

The Springfield (Mass) Republican Gnd)
says: "Of the 1877 counties of Georgia, III
have prohibition of the liquor traffic under
a local option system. Now prohibition
measure for the whole state Is being
pushed in the Legislature, with some pos
sbility of success, and the license cities
are much stirred up about It, Georgia
was founded as a prohibition colony and
the people there are hereditarily disposed
to this policy, but it may be asserted pret-
ty confidently that under local option MS
large measure Of prohibition prevails as
can be maintained"
The New York Commercial Qnd) says:
LAS the Commercial predicted business
has not been disturbed anywhere by the
South African war except at the seat of
hostiuties. Even severe British reverses
at the very outset failed to precipitate a
panic on the London Stock Exchange. As
to the probability of a gold famine, that
idea was exploded long ago"
The Columbia Is. CO State Dem) says:
SHOULD the Republicans re-elect McKin-
ley next year, l. will only ensure Demo
cratic successes in 1904. The present pros
perity cann3t last always, and judging by
the past, a reaction Will come about 1908.
