"The Dawg Song"

No song in years has received
the notice that the Missouri
"houn' dog" is now getting from
the public. Champ Clark's Mis-

campaign air. While there are
many parodies, these are the
original words:

COMMENTING ON THE
SHOOTING OF GRACE.

Commenting on the way the Atlanta
papers have exploited the shooting of
LUge1c IT, 9 &c -c--2i5 e,7 Ira
says:
The newspaper man decides what
the public shall read. He prepares the
daily mental meal. He is an enemy of
the public if he prepares food that is
poison or hurtful. The motive behind
the publication of such matter is I'M
worthy and contemplate. Some edi-
tors say the public wants such stuff,
and therefore as matter of business
policy getting more readers and ex-
tending circulation-t they must print it.
The depraved taste of the public is thus
allowed to control the policy of the pa.
per and the vidious element of the pop
ulation to dictate what the decent anC
orderly element shall read"

Cunoressman's CuaI Yarn.

The present winter has been a rec
ord breaker in Washington so far as
the weather and the high cost of living
have been concerned. During the re
cent blizzard many householders were
caught unprepared dealers couldn't
begin to supply the sudden demand
and coal wagons were all but raided
on the streets.
One morning as Congressman Rob
erts was on his way to catch car
for the capitol he saw a coal wagon
crunching through the snow a short
distance ahead Of him, the negro
driver smoking pipe and tapping his
arms to keep warm. Just as 1t got
in front of a house a woman threw
open a front window, thrust her head
out, beckoned to the driver and
shouted:
Hey! Is that ccal for Eaton?"
The negro took the pipe from his
mouth and rolled up the whites Of his
eyes with establishment. He eaid:
Lord Cord, nom; this here coal
amt fur eatin'-its fur burnin'."--

sA=KAPPY CROWD.

DO you know that a position in the
new knitting mill is one of the hest
places in town? 1t is comfortable,
bright and clean as home. Daily
Herald,
This refers to the new mill of the
Marietta Knitting Company, and it is a
good place to work. During the cold,
bad weather it is warm and dry, and
being brick building, well ventilated,
it will be cool in the summer. The pay
is good, the work is regular and the
hours convenient. No night work
Half the day on Saturdays, two weeks
at peach time in the summer and
Christmas week are always taken for
recreation.
All the folks in the mill are nice, too,
and the managers and foremen are all
so coNiderate of everybody in the
business. When folks once get a place
here they usually stay. Recently the
company presented "Radium' medals
to the foremen who have been in the
mill regularly for ten years or more
, Those receiving these badges of distinc
ton were Mr.. Bella ~ Barnes, Mr.. J
c. Cogburn, Mr.. G. B. Campbell, Mr.
M. P. Dunn, Mr.. M. d. Dobbs, Mr. w
T. Hyde and Mr.. A. D. Hadaway.
You would see what a healthy pac,
it is if you were shown through the mil
and noticed the rosy checked, brigh
eyed girls and strong active youni
men. 1t is strict attention to bushes
with them during work hours, but a
the noon hour and in the summer jus
before work time in the mornings Their
is the jolliest laughter and games Xix
so many children at play.
1t is this contented, happy spirit an
the knowledge of financial prOsperit
as well as the bright, airy, comfortabl
building that makes this crowd. of
hundred and seventy people so well an
so jolly.
