paper:
1--WE have seen the, Gal in the fountain.
I'VE we're in Atlanta Thursday and went
to see her on purpose. We were surprised
agreeable surprised at her modesty. We had
some how got the impression that she was the
naughtiest girl in all Georgia We have seen in
many a parlor and hallway of private homes less
modest statuary We rather like the Gal"
but not her association. It is said she is of ten
in company with men who will vote for Clark
Howell and they are not so numerous either, as
some of the papers that have had a GREAT deal
to saw about the Gal -" would have US be-
1ieve."
While Editor Mercer rather admires the
gal" he does uot like her association with whis-
kew and drinking men. But the editor need
not worry about the fate of the gal from her as
sociations and com anonship. We have been
her cold kind of creature who remains I'M

surround her. While an adjunct to the Hoke
Smith campaign, she is not bit more passion.
ate with his supporters than she IS with those
of the other candidates. Her glance is frigid
and distant for them all. Clark Howell men,
Jim Smith men, Estill men, Dick Russell men
and, on the d. a. some Nunnally men have all
stood about her dripping form and bid for favor
without results. Despite adulation and admit

and force them to hunt warmth and solace at
the bar. These things we have heard about
the gal" and would suggest that Editor Mer-

vestigation of "She" and the condition that sur
round the ''dewy female" go further with his ex-
plantations and tell us if what we have heard is
true.-Macon News.
We went as far with explanation
as we dared. We we're in company with
prominent steward of the Fitzgerald Metho-

the grape vine only near enough to see that she
was we'll clothed and of comely countenance
Just near enough to see the gold fish disport-

around to the rear for beyond we're line up"
some half dozen convivialists.
We were told that these naughty men were
Novelties. They were now bowling but the
least bit hilarious. We did not experience any
thrills down the spinal column, column is
not easily affected, and while we did not venture
beyond the fountain, we were not particularly
skeered.
Editor Boifeuillet has no doubt heard
great many things about the cyril that is not
true, it is so natural TO talk about them.
Last Saturdays Cordele Rambler is about
the warmest and cutest publication we have
seen since the days of the 1conoclast.
The one paper is worth years subscription.

that they will try to break it up by doing any
thing that will offend the feelings of one these
