LINDALE IS LIVELY
The Bachelor’s Club Founl Guilty of
Giving a Banquet.
WONDERFUL MEMO FOR OCCASION
No N m« Literary Held BnJ tynbla Meeting.
New Fremd nt Elected— Personal
Items and Gossip.
Bachelors club met at Mechanic’s
Hall at 9 o’clock. W. D Achord was
elected president by one majority to
fill utiexpired term of W. J. Neilson.
The menu at the banquett was per
fectly grand, and the large crowd
present, (about eight people) fared
like they were at Belshazzar’s feast.
Oysters a ia cove. (One oyster to a
plate of soup.)
Crackers, a la coahnilla with butter
on one side—very thin.
Pig foot with corn “flapjack” with
salt on both sides.
Lemonade a la circus with diamond
dye.
Ginger snaps with water in abund
ance as the water is free, and costs
nothing, and other good things that
were too good for the outside world to
know, as it would tend to make more
bachelors.
No. 61 in the J. K. Williamson watch
club was drawn by Farmer H. M.
Johnson last week. Horry hitched up
his team of grays to his two horse
wagon and went to Rome Tuesday
evening and brought his valuable prize
home.
Dr. Herndon and daughter spent
the day at Trion last Sunday with
friends and relatives.
Rev. Mr. Maddox of Cave Spring
preached on the life of the Apostlfi
Paul last Sunday morning. There
was a large crowd Sunday evening to
listen toj an able discourse from the
eloquent preacher.
The drouth will coma to a cl- 83 before
1898. Some one has reported that Will
Holder walked two young ladies to the
club last week. Will Holders most inti
mate ft lends deny the report and we
hope it “aint so.”
The “No Name Literary Society” held
a splendid meeting at the residence of
Dr. Cheney last Thursday evening. The
program was well rendered and deserves
more than a passing notice, and shows to
what success the club has been brought
under the leadership of Prof, Chas.
Shiflet. Mr. Claude Porter was Sleeted
president for the next quarter, and had
it not been for his many friends and his
popularity with the “dear sweet things”
he would have been badly beaten. The
club did justice to the many nice things
furnished by the host and hostess. The
menu was so long that 1 will not try to
describe it. Bob Pans was so well pleased
he wanted to hold the next meeting at
the same place.
Mrs. Fannie Goddard, of North Rome,
is visiting her sistei, Mrs. D. W. Barnett
this week.
Sullivan and Dodd, the two most prom
inent bachelors of Lindale, took in the
circus in Rome last week and report a
very enjoyable trip.
Mr. D. G. Horton, one of the machin
ists of the Massachusetts mills, has re
signed and will leave for his home in
Chattanooga for a short time and will
then take the advice of Horace Greely,
“go west young man.”
Miss Nannie Hazel gave a delightful
party to a few of her friends last Thurs
day evening. Many nice presents were
given and delicious refreshments were
served to those so fortunate as to have
invitations.
The Lindale singing met at the cfiurcb
last Sunday afternoon 2:30. There was
not a very large crowd, but a quite musical
crowd present. The time for meeting by
resolution of Bro. Bob Dougherty was
on the second and fourth Sundays at
2:30. A few minntes talk by Uncle
Bob upe.n the subject of music was list
ened to very attentively and enjoyed by
all. It is expected that Uncle Bob will
lead a lesson in old sacred harp next
Sunday, assisted by Prof. G. B. Holder
and Patterson.

PLUCKY IS THIS PREAUntH.
St. Louis Minister Building a Parsonage
Under the Protection of a Shotgun*
St. Louis, Oct 4.—Rev. R. J. Kel
logg, pastor of a little Congregational
church in Denverside, not far from
East St. Louis, on the Illinois side of
the river, is building a parsonage under
the protection of a doublebarreled shot
gun.
The Rev. Kellogg was pastor of the
Summit Avenue M. E. church of East
St. Louis. He put S6OO of his money
into the De u Mrs ide building and was
ordered to turn- it over and go else
where. The Congregatlonaiists bought i
the church,and he was made its perma- '
neut pastor.
He wanted a parsonage. The congre
gation was too poor to build him one.
He said he would build it himself, with
what help he could get from the con
gregation and others.
Last Monday a week ago A. C. Pal
mer, an officer of the Carpenters’ union,
demanded that nonunion men be dis
charged? and union men taken in their
places.
“I have no objection to employing
union men,” said Rev. Kellogg, “but I
will not discharge my neighbors to make
places for others. ”
Friday night, while at work alone on
the parsonage, Mr. Kellogg was as
saulted by a gang of seven men, who
compelled him to discontinue work for
the time being. He secured a shotgun
and hereafter he will take it to tho,
building and keep it handy for instant
use should another attack be made on
him. These facts became public when
Rev. Kellogg went to East. St. Lours
and applied for warrants.

Baker City, Or., Oct. -4.—Sheriff
Kilbourn and posse engaged in a battle
with two cattle thieves on the lower
Powder river. In all about 40 shots
were exchanged. It was dark when
the sheriff and his men came upon the
bandits, who had with them 80 head of
cattle. Both sides opened fire, and
Fred Hull, one of the thieves, was shot
through the arm. Both escaped in the
darkness and Hull rode to this city,
where he called a doctor to dress his
wouifds. He was arrested in his room.
His partner, Earl Wheeler, has not yet
been captured.
Ol<leat of Confederate Officers.
St. Louis, Oct. 4.—Captain Frederick
Chatard, an old resident of St. Louis
and the oldest surviving officer of the
confederate navy, is dead at the Mul
lauphy hospital. He was also thought
to be the oldest surviving officer of the
old United States navy of ante-bellum
days Chatard was born in Baltimore
in 1807 and entered the United States
navy in 1824 on the vessel Old North
Carolina. He served continuously in
the navy until the breaking out of the
war, when he resigned his position and
joined the confederate navy.
Mny and December Marriage.
Guthrie, O. T., Oct. 4.—At Buck
Falls, in the Creek nation, John Wil
son, aged 65 years, married a 16-year
old girl, and in the absence of Henry A.
Crouse from home, the couple went to
live in the latter’s furnished house.
When Crouse returned and attempted
to eject them, Wilson shot and killed
him and then took to the woods. He
has not been captured.

M’KINLEY’S HOST.
William B. Plunkett, the Adams Manufac
turer Who Entertained the President.
William B. Plunkett, who entertain
ed President McKinley and party on his
recent visit to Adams, Mass., is a
wealthy manufacturer who for a num
ber of years has been a warm friend of
the chief, executive. Mr. Plunkett’s
homo is one of the prettiest and most
pretentious in that part of the Berk
shires. It is a largo stone structure with
deep, vine shaded verandas and many
dormer windows. It' stands on a slight
elevation and is surrounded by beauti
ful and well kept grounds.
Mr. Plunkett is about 47 years old.
He and his brother inherited from their
father the mill property, which they
have enlarged and developed until now
they have 155,000 spindles in .motion
and turn out an immense amount of
cotton goods each year. Mr. Plunkett
is treasurer of two big milling corpora
tions and is director in several other en
terprises. The Plunkett brothers are
generous and public spirited citizens
and have presented to the town of Ad
ams two notable gifts. One is a park of
20 acres, which they have thrown open
and improved for public use, and the
other is a library and memorial build
ing, in which is placed a large selection
of books. The Grand Army post also
has its hall in this building.
Adams is one of the prettiest towns
in the Hoosac valley. It has a popula-

tion of about 8,000 and is a lively little
manufacturing place. Just now it is a
hive of industry, for with the return of
prosperity the big mills are all running
on full time. Besides the manufacture
of cotton goods there are paper and
lumber mills and numerous lime quar
ries. At this season of the year it is
quiet socially, and that was the reason
which induced the president to accept
Mr. Plunkett’s invitation. Lenox is
only 30 miles away, however, and Mr.
Plunkett often has a houseful of guests.
Ho is president of the Hoosac Valley as
sociation, and it was through his influ
ence that the president consented to
visit the county fair held rmder the
auspices of that association.
SAMUEL Ji M’MILLAN DEAD.
Former United >t*Ces Senator From thr
State of Minnesota Expires.
St. Paul, Oct. 4.—Samuel J. McMil
lan, United States senator from 1b76 co
1888, died at his home in this city of
anaemia. He had been ill for nearly a
year. He was born in Brownsville,
Pa., Feb. 22, 1826. He studied law in
the office of Edwin M. Staunton, after
ward secretary of war, and after n dis
tinguished career was in 1874 chosen
chief justice of the Minnesota supreme
court.
He was elected 'to the United States
senate as the result of one of the yiost
noted deadlocks in the history of the
state. Ex-Governor Ramsey was the
Republican caucus nominee, and Cush
man K Davis, the present senator, was
a bolting candidate. McMillan was
elected on a narrow margin after a pro
longed contest. In 1881 be was re
elected. While in the senate he suc
ceeded .Rose >e Conkling as chairman of
the cotnmer”e committee.
He was prominent in the Presbyterian
church and in 1890 was chosen one ot
the two men from the west on the com
mittee of revision of the confession ot
faith of that body.
FOREIGN PRESS ON FIGHT.
British Newspaper.* Dlicuhi the Coming
New York Mayoralty Battle.
London, Oct. 4. The newspapers
here generally pay much attention tc
the New York political campaign, pub
lishing long articles, dispatches and edi
torials on the subject. The Globe says:
“Judging from The Times dispatch,
Henry George will be the next mayor.
The Americans do not exceed a quartet
of the whole population and. the Euro
pean anarchists, socialists, Italians,
Poles, Hungarians and Ra-isians, all the
very lowest of their race, will support
the man whose childish economies and
•wild theories are derided in every capi
tal in Europe. These being the people
who sway public .opinion, it is the
height of absurdity to rave about blood
being thicke than water. ”
The Pall [all Gazette’s article, writ
ten by au American, concludes with the
statement that Tammany will win.
Crossing Shallow Water.
To enable ships to cross harbor bars
when the water is not high enough to
clear them a pair of pontoons are rigged
on opposite sides of the ship, with ca
bles running under its keel, and air
pumps to increase their buoyancy by
discharging the water from tanks,
when the cables are wound up on shafts
to lift the ship.
