MAKE UNIQUE PLANTS.
Letters Received at Pension De-
partment from Applicants.

The short and simple annals of the
poor not infrequently possess the merit
of originality, if not rhetorical elegance
and perfection. The board of pension
appeals of the pension Office receives
letters which bear out this statement.
Here is the pathetic plant of an APP
plicant for pension on account of an
extreme asthmatic affliction:
HE got diseased in his pipes-aud
when his pipe wasent wet with spit he
whistled. he dident whistle no song
but just plain stringy whistle. There
wasent no hooking bird business about
it, for it showed sorrow, and another
thing-he dident whistle becos he was
happy, becos the sickker he got the
better he whistled."
The following is the argument of an
old soldier who deems excessive ner-
vourness justification for government
help:
"Before the war Their wasent no man
who could a throwed me down or made
me hollor, but now goodish size man
could blow me over and I am so ner-
yous that when hear a hog squeel in
killing time or the jistes of the old
house groane with the wind sink
away. l amt playing no baby ackt,
but if you all are spreading $40 bills
out in the sun tew drg you might jest
as wei let me have few for my ner-
vOusness."
The third specimen of pension litera-
ture is interesting for its reminiscent
tial suggestions of former commission
err II. Clay Evans. 1t says.
"Sur: sum years ago l sont a peal

PREACHER WAS FLOGGED.
Had to Be Hauled to Train When
Finished With.

The Americas Press gives the fol-
lowing account of a sensational occur
reance at Leesburg:
Advices from Leesburg informs US
of happening that took place in that
town few days since that is out OF
the regular channel.
A negro preacher, Williams by name,
lately arrived at Leesburg from Column
bus. and was at once ingratiated in the
good feelings of the colored population
of that section.
For a while all went we'll, and the
fellow was supposed to be an alright
preacher with the interest of souls at
heart, and no thought Of his sowing
seeds of seditiOn.
In little while, however, the fruits
of the teachings of this Pharlsalcal
pilgrim began to crop out in a raise
OF prices that astonshed the people.
TWAS ascertained that he had ad-
yised cooks, washerwomen AMI farm
hands to 90 up on the prices for all
manner of work.
The matter was much talked or ana
a crowd of white and colored men
waited on him, took him out and gave
him a good whipping, telling him 10
leave that section within twenty-four
hours. He stood not on ceremony, but
went at once, and was so sore that he
had to be hauled to the train and heIp-
ed thereon.

WILL BORROW SIS, 900.
That Amount l. Necessary to Pay
Expenses of Legislature.

Governor Terrell will borrow $75, 900
for the state from two Atlanta banks
this week. Owing TO the fact that the
legislature meets in the summer this
year, and none of the tax money will
be received until next fall loan is
necessary in order to pay the .legisla-
tors their per diem.
1t is understood that the loan will be
for six months and that the governor
Las secured the promise of the money
at two per cent interest for that time,
4 remarkably low rate for this season
of the year.
1t will take just about $4,000 to
meet the expenses of the general as
sembly, and as there is no money in
the treasury at present with which
the members can be paid it was imper-
alive that a loan should be made.
None of the lax money will be re-
ceived until October or November and
then the loan can be repaid.

Under Murder Charge.

The remains of a negro boy named.
Coon Hollinshead we're taken to Fort
Valley for interment from Marietta a
few days ago, and the circumstances
connected with his death form a very
singular story.
Some time last January negro boy
named Banks Thomas went to church
with Coon's girl This not meeting
with Coon's entire appreciation he
went to the church, armed with big
stick, and awaited on the outside for
Banks. AS soon after services as
Banks had reached an ODportune place
for him to get in his work of VEN
geance Coon accosted him and pro-
ceeded to beat him over the head with
the stick, and before the two were sep
arated Banks had been seriously injur-,
ed For several days his life was all
but despaired of, and weeks passed be-.
fore be was able to get out of bed. For
causes unknown Coon was never prose-
cuted for the assault
About a week ago Banks Thomas
died, and his death is generally
thought to have been caused by the,
injuries inflicted by Coon. AS soon as
these facts were learned by the OFF,.
cials warrant was sworn out for.
Coon's arrest, and few days later he
was located at Marietta.
A few hours after he had been placed
in the Marietta Jail the sheriff was mo-
tilted tina; Coon had died. IL is be-
lieved by the officials that be was lit

GEN. GORDON'S SON MISSING
Believed to Be Wandering Aim
IesSIy About Atlanta.

General John B. Gordon has called
on the police to locate his son, Captain
Frank Gordon n, and return him to his
home.
The notice was posted at the Allan
at police headquarters, and the police
departments of other cities were also
notified.
Captain Frank Gordon left his faith
er's home last week with his nerves in
d greatly overweight condition, and
since then nothing has been heard of
him. The General is of the opinion
that his son is wandering aimlessly
about.
Captain Gordon is about IS years of
age, and has had a somewhat erratic
career. When the Spanish.American
war broke out he was given commits
sion in Rays regiment of imm unes,
ard accompanied the command TO
Cuba. While on the island Captain
Gordon had some difference with other
officers of the regiment, and there was
much correspondence and some talk OF
a duel, but the captain finally left the
service
