Savannah is now gorgeous and
gay Tbe parks and squares snd

snd there sre but few signs of the

Th?rs ton's Plagiarism.
Senator Tburtton, from the wild
aod boundir/g weit, fell in love with
a young lady, and in apite of a bald
bead and nnelaatio atep wrote a poem
wbieb won ber and they have been
married to "live happily forever
afterward " The effusion reads :
I said to the rote, "Ob, rote, sweet rose,
Will yoo He oo my heart tonight;
Will 70a nettle there with your perfame rart
Aad your petals pore aod white ?"
I seid to the rote, 4 Oh, rose, sweet rote,
Will yon thrill to a y every sigh, t
Tbc' your life exhale id the morning pale
Aod yoa'witber aod fade aod die T"
I laid to tbt rose, "Oh, rose, sweet rose,
Will yon throb witk my every breath ;
Will yon give me ti e bliss of a passionate
kiss
Albeit the cod is death ?"
Tbe white rote liftsd her stately bead
And answered me fair and true :
"I am happy aod b'est to He oo your breast
For the woman who gave me to yon." .
The poem aaw the light of day in
Sterling J Morton's newspaper, and
Senator Thurston waa much compli?
mented, bat, on the authority of tbe
reliable Hardeman Free Press, it is &
rank plagiarism Tbe journal named
aaya that when 8enora Aguinaldo's
three barrels of clothing were cap
tored these lines were found among
them :
I said to to? hose, "Ob, hose, warm b?te,
Will yon He on sty limbs toolght;
Will yoo nettlt them with your perfume rare
Aad your stripes of black aod wbtte ?"
1 said to my hoee, "Oh, hose, silk host,
Will yon thrill to my every sigh,
Though yonr lift exhalt io tht morning's
pale,
And yoo ravel aad rip aod dis ? '
I said to mv hose, "Oh, host, silk host,
Will yoo throe to my tvtry breath,
Through tht shadows dim will yoo grace my
limb, v
Albeii the tad it death T '
My silk hose twiddled their daioty feet,
And answered me fair aad trne :
"In tht shadows dim I will leave yonr limb
For Otts will take me from yoo."
Aa our excellent oontemporary ob
aarvea, thia pilfering ia ao contempti
ble aa to condemn Senator Thurston
to ao eternity of disgrace. He rob
bed a woman whose huaband ia
engaged in a loog distance footrace
out of her just fame and be preaented

theft. Thnraton should not be in tbe

to w it-boood freight batiotts, tod for
some time agents have bssb workiog

This will be a ba;d blow to the
