SONAL QUESTIONS.

Hon. Tom Watson:-Your write
up of the buzzard awoke a reminis-
cence in which man, who claims to
be an ex-rebel-a Democrat and
everything else that is disreputable,
claims to have seen you red-headed
in the Georgia Legislature forty
years ago.
He claims that you are a sage,
whereas I claim that you have scarce
ly reached the age of discretion
Now, you are no schoolgirl. You
are not ashamed to tell your age.
Just to settle question in dispute,
how old are you, and have you got
red hair?
Yours truly,
w. T. WATERS.
Chattanooga, Tenn.
Answer.
It's funny the way the Buzzard
essay struck popular fancy. Glad I
wrote him up. In his way, he's fine
old bird.
My red top might have been seen
in the Legislature in 1882 and 8
some &c years ago. Can't own up to
the 40 years ago. Was born in 1856
You are right about the age of dis
erection. Haven't reached it yet, and
never expect to-if you mean
solemnity, stiffness, grouchiness, self
complacency, painful prudence, and a
careful calculation of consequences
Always expect to do and say what
seems right, with glorious, boyish
contempt of consequences.
Yep; hair red yet, or rather dark
auburn. Not enough gray in it to
alarm my friends and comfort my
enemies-though really there are
serious doubts about my having any
foes. I amt dom nuthin' to nobody
am I? T. E. w.

of specs and set of handmade
teeth, will calm down and go slow.

'THE POPE AND HIS IMPs.''

My Dear Brother 1.-THE gospel

1t is the only thing left sinful man

There is no salvation for the soul
of man except though the gospel.
This statement may not set well with
Papa (the Pope) and his imps, but
we have been fighting that Vicar of
Satan for long time, and expect to
continue. We have him described in

Watson, to secure a Watson Hand

want to do what little can for the
