CHECKERS ON THE FARM.
The checkerhoard is all worn out
Fror, ,sa each winter niuht.

The checkerhoard is all worn out
From use each winter night
The checkers have become begrimed,
Which once were shining bright,
But still the game goes straightway on
Although the squares are blurs,
While Cynthy pens up Reuben's men
Or Reuben captures hers.
Sometimes the old man takes hand
To show his practiced skill,
And then the farmhands circle round,
While every one is still.
They would not say single word
That would distract his play;
So breathless they observe him drive
Young Reuben's men to bay.
All, what would winter evenings be
Without the checkerboard,
With double corners, jumps and moves
And fun which they affordt
Our dissipation oft consists
In too much checkers here,
Which makes the gossips tell about
Our checkered life's career.

THIS STORY POINTS A MORAL.
Which Could Be of Benefit to Some
Here.

A man walked into a newspaper
office once upon a time, just as they
do in Americas occasionally, and ap-
preaching the editor said:
Look here, if you want something
to fill up your paper with, you might
say in the morning that l have opened
a nice grocery store, and want the peo-
pie TO trade with me.
"All right, replied the scribe, but
had at you better put in regular ad-
vertisement for month
ono, notright now" replied the new
conner 81 just thought you might
make news item of my business in
order to fill up space"
"Well, don't you want to subscribe
for the paper" asked the news man.
well, no, replied the genteel
deadbeat, "You see, l take an Allan
ia paper and three story papers print
ed in Chicago, and that's all I have
time to read"
"All right replied the news man,
and he smiled softly to himself.
That afternoon he went to the new
store and ordered a wagon load of gro-
ceries sent to his house.
The new merchant was most oblig-
ing. The hams, lard, -four, sugar and
coffee were weighed up, and when all
was loaded on the wagon he made out a
bill for ten dollars
But didn't mean to pay for the
goods" said the scribe to the pharisee.
Il only ordered team to help ''fill up
your wagon, just as you ordered that
news item today.
Then the new grocer saw the point,
and the editor went back to his office
and deity pitched the ''news" item into
the waste basket.

The Twenty Ninth Regiment, which
is largely nade up of Georgia boys,
sails from Manila tomorrow and in
thirty davs will reach Atlanta, where
the men will be mustered out of ser
vice. A few may remain in the Philip
pines and join the regular army, but
the majority of them will be glad to
get home again. A number of Georgia
boys now IN the state service want
commissions in the regular army, and
reports from Washington say that the
congressman and senators from Geor-
gia, and from everywhere else, for that
matter, are receiving nearly q bushel
of letters every day asking their assist
ance IN getting commissions. The
war department is now at work.on the
appointments, and it is very probable
that they will be announced in a few

FIRST SNOWFALL
CAME YESTERDAY.
Americas Dons a Mantle Of Fleecy
White.
THREE INCHES ON LEVEL HERE
Season Of Gentle Spring is Abruptly
Ended and City is Again in Grasp
of Hoary Winter-storm the Heav-
lest Ever Witnessed Here,

Americas people were not little as
tonished on awaking yesterday morn
ing to find the earth covered IN snow
to depth Of three inches, while the
Aeecy fakes still FELL
They had retired at the close of a de-
lightful spring day, when bright sun
shine had made glad the earth. They
had seen the flowers in bloom, the bud
ding trees and singing birds, and the
thought of a snowstorm was as remote
to them as South Pacific typhoon
In fact, they read in yesterdays
Times-Recorder of the budding etc.
ETC., etc.
Imagine their CONSERVATION, on look
lug from their paper, to see the heavy
fakes falling upon an already snow
covered ground. Tt was a sudden
transition from gentle spring back to
the clutches of hoary winter. Spring
was bit too previous; that's all.
1t was the first snow Americas had
seen since January st, 1900, and eager
ly the people went forth to snowfall
each other.
Upon every residence street and in
the downtown district batteries were
quickly thrown up, and woe be unto
the luckless passer-bY. Staid matrons
and pretty girls alike enjoyed the
sport and hurled the feathery balls
But "the beautiful" was not to be of
very long duration,
By 10 O clock cid Sol was getting 10
his work, and the covered streets
were soon transformed into rivulats of
sIush and mud, while the sidewalks
dried of rapidly.
On the roofs of many buildings the
snow drifted to a depth of ten or
twelve inches, aud where protected
from the sun it still remains The
green trees, bending beneath their
weight of snow, presented beautiful
picture, the like of which Is rarely
witnessed here.
This snOwstorm was the heaviest
that ever fell in Americas, it is said.

Expansion In Expenses.

Since Mr.. McKinleY's Admins
tration began the annual army ap.
preparation has increasedover four
fold. 1t was Sa3, 1000 900 for the
year in which he was inaugurated.
For the current year it excee ds
SrI4,ooo, 900. The passage Of the
pending Army bill will make this
iourfold increase of military ex-
penditure permanent.
The naval appropriation for the
year 1897, when Mr.. McKinley's
term began, was $50, 500, 900, using
round figures. For the current
year it is over sos, 900, 900, so that
our naval expenditures are over
twice as large now as when Nc
KInley was inaugurated. And
that increase is also permanent.
The river and harbor approprla-
ton for the last year before Nc
Kinley became President was a
little less than $4,000, 900. The
river and harbor appropriation
now pending in the Senate and al
ready passed by the House is
nearly 500, ,ooo, o,ooo-almost four
times as large.
All along the line there has been
an increase in the cost oil govern
ment under Mr.. Mckinley and be-
cause OF his policies. Expansion
is expensive.
