E. A. Angler, Georgia's district at
torney, is in bad repute in his state,
because of "lily-white" proclivIties. He
declines to appoint a colOred deputy,

to be a part. His resignation has been
asked for.
One distinguished gentleman who
will be taken care of by the united
support of the Negroes is Senator

He will be returned to the Hoosier
legislation with a "whoop." There is
fine presidential timber in Senator
Fairbanks. Keep your eye upon his
stalwart form.

Mir. and Mrs. Joseph Coffman Were Married Fifty Years
 Ago Yesterday.
The Event Celebrated With a Large Gathering to Whom Fine
 Dinner Was Served.

The home of Joseph Coffman. sev- eral miles east of the city, was a scene of gaity yesterday and an occasion that will be long reme m ber- ed by those present.
 The occasion was the celebration of the golden wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Coffman, and about 75 people were present, including friends, rela- tives and neighbcrs.
 Among the visitors from town were Sim Coffman and family, Ross Coffman and family and Mir. and Mrs. J. T. Hopkins.
 Hopkins took his camera and photographed groups of the visitors. Among the assem bled guests were children, grand children and great grand children of the aged couple, some of whom were Bruce Montieth and family and the families of Lige Jones and Tom Low. The Soliphone was unable to procure tho names of all the guests.
 The presents were numerous, that of Mr. and Mrs. M. R Coffman be. ing pair of gold spectacles for both the bride and the groom.
 Joseph Coffman is 72 years old and his helpmect is two years younger and on yesterday they were both as gaily as they were fifty years ago when they were married in Marshal county, West Va,, and Uncle Joe said that if he could have such eating and drinking as he had yesterday he believed he could stretch oyer an- other half century before going to the happy hunting grounds. The unanimous verdict of the as- sembled guests was that the dinner was as fine 8 one as was ever spread in Greene county.
 The Soliphone congrasulates this worthy couple on having successfully turned the fiftieth mile post in their married life and hopes they will be spared to celebrate their diamond wedding.

Tramp Lectures In a Saloon.

The following story, which is a real gem and furnishes much whole- some food for the thoughtful young man of today, is now going the rounds of the press. As the story goes a tramp entered saloon aRd asked for a drink. The request was granted and when in the act of drinking the preferred beverage, a young man exclaimed: "Stop! make us speech. It is poor liquor that doesn't loosen a man S tongue"
 The tramp hastily swallowed the drink. As the rich liquid coursed through his blood he slaughtered mp ard stood before them with a grace and dignity that all his rags and dirt could not obscure.
 Gentlemen, be said, ''I look to~ night at you and myself, and it seems to ne I look upon the picture of my blighted manhood. This bloat- ed face was as handsome as yours. This sham bling figure once walked as proudly as yours, for was man in the world of men. l, too once had home and friends and position.
 "I had wife as beautiful as an artists dream but l dropped the priceless pearl of her honor and re- spect into cup of wine and like Cleopatra, saw it disolve then ousffcd it down in the brimming draught. had children as sweet and pure as the flowers Of spring, ard saw them fad and die under the blighting curse of drunken father l I had 6 tome where love lit tie flame upon the altar and ministere6 before it, but I put out the holy fire and desolati06 Tsigned ir1 ir its is stead; II had aspirations and ambitions that scared as high as the morning star, but l broke and bruised tbell bea utiful forms and strangled them that I might hear their cries nc more.

 The tramp ceased speaking; the glass fell from hls nerveless fingers and was shattered into thousand fragments on the floor; the swinging doors were pushed open and shu again, and when the little groul looked up the tramp was gone.

LOVE DID IT..
And Miss Annie Folsom Becomes
 Mrs. Jack Iarbrough.

Miss Annie Folsom, the talented editress of the Augusta Vidette is no more-she has changed her name, having been married to Jack Yarbrough, a Newport drummer. Miss Annie's paper makes the following announcement of the event:
 ''Our dear Annie is gone; she IS not dead-but a far worse fate has fallen her-she has married.
 "Love is the motive power of the world; 1t nestles in the heart of the king on the thrown, and is with the beggar on the dung hill /; it is the spur to ambition, and the goad to crime; for it men have risen to eminence and fallen to degradation.
 Glove is the wheel horse of creation and the jackscrew of the universe.
