REFRESHMENTS A. D. KIRBY.

This is Representative A. D. Kirkby, the young and good-looking member of the House-not Tower House." if you please.
 MT. Kirby is better looking than the artist caught him. The frown on his face Is due to hard-thinling over the questions of dispensary and inn migration. There is a man up in Madi- son County who wanted to come to the Legislature. This man has good reason to know that MT. Kirby thought out some thoughts on these two ques- tions. That is why this man up in Madison is back at home, while MT Kirby is down here sitting in the seat of Representative.
 When the people began to size up the men elected to the Legislature, some of the knowing ones said. Keep your eye on Kirby; he's a good one" And Kirby hasn't disappointed any of these partial friends.
 When there is a Hull in the House, Mir Kirby frequently goes up into the gall lery where the ladies congregate. That is another good thing about the young man from Madison-he likes the ladies.
 If. the State gets a good immigration law and plenty of dispensaries and banishes the open saloons altogether. Mir. Kirby will go back to the Tennes- see Valley feeling he did not come to the Legislature in vain.

SENATOR JOHN W. OvERToN.

This is Senator John W. Overton, who charged that some of the newspapers of the State were trying to beat Sen- ate Bill 16, the bill favored by the ad- ministration, which contained some of the issues on which Mir. Conner made the race for Governor.
 Senator Overton declared the bad newspapers were lying in watt to viewed with alarm a suggestion that further time be taken on the bill, and he pointed with pride to what the "peepur' had said on 1t. He solemnly warned his fellow Senators, too, that If they allowed the newspapers to beat that bill. the places that know them now will know them no more.
 The Senate, carried away by the elo- quence of the gentleman from Ran dolph, immediately passed the bill by a vote of 2S to 3.
 The Senator from Randolph, thoutV he is by his position of chairman of the Committee on Commerce and Com mon Carriers. chief railroad batter in extraordinary to the Governor is new ertheless as pleasant and as good natured a man as ever made a guar rasping corporation" feel the weight of the peepuls anger. There Is no malice in the Randolph Senator, and even the members of the minority who are serving at the tail-end of obscure com mittees are fond of him.
 He was against taking the passes away from the editors. At least, he was against 1t for four or five days.
