Another Oyster Supper.
By Joe Bedge,
Sunday evening at the church the
Grovama Juveniles gave a "Welcome
Thanksgiving” to all. The exercises
among the congregation wenotioed
quite a number from our neighbor
town, Elko, and several .from Cor-
dele and other points. The exer-
oises were good, and each and all re
cited their parts well, and deserved
much praise and commendation for
their nice behavior and lovely ap
pearance. Mrs. J. J. Houser, mana
ger of the Juveuilea, deserves much
credit for training and instructing
the children for this mission. The
occasion was enjoyed, and will long
be remembered. May the Juveniles
and their manager prosper happily,
and may their example be followed:
The program was as follows:

I am informed that Mr. W. S. Ri
ley has bought out Mr. Z. B. Means
who lives near Grovauia. Mr, Means,
I learn, has purchased a home at
Finleyson in Pulaski county, and
will engage in the mercantile busi
ness. We regret to lose Mr. Means
as a citizen, but commend him to
Pulaski county as an upright, high-
toned Christian gentleman.
Our clever and efficient depot
agent is wearing an unusually broad

Mr. W. G. Fitzgerald was heard

new clothes and new babies.

. It now appears that
Cnees between the
and tbe miners of the anthracite
al region will be settled between
hemselves. Last week the.arbitra-
ion commission was asked to sus-
end its hearings for a week o." ten
ays, in order that a basis of agree-
ent that had been proposed ihight
e carefully considered. While the
omomsion agreed to this, it was
declared that the commissioners
would pass judgment upon whatev
er terms of settlement are agreed
upon. The basis of settlement is a
compromise, granting a measure of
the demands of the miners.
Singe 1889 the total tax value of
all property in Georgia, except rail
roads, telegraph companies, etc.,, in
creased from $226,998,419 to $410,-

About ten days ago a woman, Mrs.
Lena Doxheimmer, whose residence
is in Hoboken, N. Y., revealed an al
leged plot by anarchists to kill Pres
ident Roosevelt, stating that lots for
the purpose were drawn. Last week
the woman asked for police protec
tion against the vengeance of her
former anarchist associates, who had
threatened her life, she declared. At
Washington the secret service chief
says that there has been no plot to
kill the president, and that the in
former was mistaken as to facts.

crease noted above has really come
since 1892. Yet there has not been
a proportionate reduction of the tax
rate. Those who control have al
lowed the expenses to increase too
regularly. Such proceedings are dis
tressingly monotonous to the tax
payers.
Two more giant locomotive en
gines for the Central railroad passed
through Macon enroute to Savannah
last Sunday. They are duplicates of
the two received last week, are des
ignated as 1604 and 1606, weigh
200,000 pounds each and will pull
mail and passenger trains on a sched
ule of 60 miles an hour. In its
equipment the Central uses the best.
In a riot caused by strikers in Ha

were killed and eighty wounded. It
was reported that the riots were
caused by animosity to Americans,
but President Palma cabled to
Washington that the reports are ab
