Is Politics In It?

Is politics responsible for reports that Gov
Harris is sick and feeble man? Evidently
So The governor made the principal address at
the Seeing Georgia" movies at the Atlanta audi
torium Thursday night, and was never in better
form or eloquent than in the splendid and
inspiring tribute he paid to his beloved state and
the people who have made it great The governor is
not a feeble sick man, but it that effort
has been made to create the impression that, be-
cause he went away for few days recreation after
a very busy and trying time during the hot summer
months, he is in declining health. There will be
a rude awakening for some who, perhaps would
not much regret it if it so. The governor is
hearty and spry and has another good fight in
him. as any one will find out who may have the
temerity to oppose him for the customary second
term.

THAT LITTLE LAMB OF MARY,s.

From the Utica Saturday Globe.
Miss Mary was the possessor of diminutive and
immature specimen of the Owls Aries, a wool-bear-
ing and ruminant quadruped whose flesh is highly
esteemed by persons to whose gustatory organs it's
flavor is agreeable.
The shaggy and agglomerated flaments consti-
tutng in their collective capacity it's natural outer
covering, integument, garment, presented to the
vision surface absolutely eiolated and albifed
and rivaling in immacuateness the lustrous mantle
of chrystalized vapOr that commonly characterizes
the winter landscape
And to whatsoever locality, contiguous or re-
mote, whittier Marys Vagrant fancy, the call of
duty or perchance the parental mandate, impelIed
her, when not otherwise engaged, to betake her
self, this juvenescent representative of the genius
Owls Aries, with fidelity remarkable in one so
immature and inexperienced, could be counted up
on with absolute and entire certainty to accom-
pany her.

The Decay Of Appomattox
From the New York Times.

The famous apple tree" of Appomattox is pre-
served only in the memory by Roscoe Conklin in
the republican national convention in 1880. The
village itself is falling and decaying, according to
the Richmond Times-Dispatch. The winds and
waters have done their worst, and what they have
left is crumbling from human neglect" The quiet
little county seat of Appomattox county slumber-
ed in obscurity till April 9, 1855, when it took
its place in history, to be remembered henceforth
in connection with the great names of Lee and
Grant and the end of the Lost Cause.
Whether not it be true, memorial tablet
records, that in AppomattoX fired the last
volley''-there were so many last Voleys as well
many youngest soldiers of the civil war
the place is hallowed ground in the story of Amer
lea, and it is unpleasant to know that fire and
flood and vandal hands and public Indifference and
want of care have brought to the edge of desola-
ton spot whose name appeals to North and
South, there united in durable peace. why isn't
AppOmattox today literal shrine we'll a his

The few hundred goats in Georgia-not the slang
goats, but sure enough billy goats and nanny
goats-are proving valuable that there is talk

popular of recent years. and farmers just be-
