BELA IR A FLAG STATION.
Subscriber Voices the Sentiments of
the Public.
Mr. Editor: Will you pinup excuse
me for asking this question through
your newsy and widespread Herald, for
It Is something I. as well as many oth
ers. would like to know. Why Is It that
.Uelalr on the Georgia railroad Is not
B flag station? Now. If It was a flag
station, there are a number of persons
who could go up on Sundays on the
fast train In the morning and could
have time to look around and select a
lot and not have to hurry to catch the
noon train coming to Augttsta. It
would not detain the train or Inconven
ience It. but would be « great assist
ance to both the road and the people.
Give us Uelalr ns a flag station and
please all. SUBSCRIBER.

The captain's bookkeeper. Doctor M

gas bracket in tbe office on Saturday
night. In a pocket was the doctor's
small alit-d silver watch, with tbe In
itials M. It. M engraved thereon.
The chain hath one of the patent

the watch, and Captain Howard I* con
gratulating himself that tbe cracksmen
did not follow up the effective break
ing in with a successful attack upon j
tbe safe.
This was apparently unscathed and
unmarked.
Mrs. Smith, who livra upstairs over
the store, reported having remained up
late last night until about half past
eleven o'clock with her family and the
note.* of the splitting woodwork, di
rectly underneath, must have been
heard by them had It oecurred < befora
this hour.
While Capt. Howard was very fortu
nate In suffering such a small loss, hr
commented on the fact that the police,
knowlug It was his habit to leave the
lights burning, should not have noted
the daTkness Inside.
Also It would have Seemed as though
the crash and noise of the hreaklhg
woodwork should have been Investiga
ted. provided, of ooufee. an officer was
withlng earshot.
Burglary seems to he rnmnnnt In

After ihe sermon the young men pre

Too flaay Men.
When ibe mustering officer bad call
ed the roll aad ccuated ibe toco, be
found feat ibere a- re 100 many of
them sad accordingly annitiared that
if any present did not want lo go. bow
was their tlma to say #o. and oar men
ptcmptly stepped to thr front. The
Tfficrr watted a moment for any otter
to make up bis rotud on tbe subject,
and It was found that sere: men out
of the crowd did not care to be mus
tered in.
The officer then took the men s#rn
tlm and made them walk across the
floor, and noticed their defect*. Tn
this test ha threw out several men and
lowered fee number to tbe limit. When
feo men were being picked out to be
left at heme, a mxa wife round shoui
dsri was among tbe number. He was
-«cr3 ; much disappointed at being taken
out of ranks and riejertion was written
r.n every lineament of his face. The
lieutenant carried fee man to Major
Hawke*, who looked him ever, asked
Li pi a few questions and said. “Put h'm
In ranks; he’ll make a splendid sol
dier.”
Another fellow was called forward
and asked his age.
'Tectity-one," he replied.
"Are you able to work hard all day?"
asked the officer.
' Yes, sir.”
"What's tout business?”
“Blacksmith."
"Put him back in tbe ranks.” said
the officer.
The Lieutenants.
Although there has been no'hing de
finite given out tn regard to the lieu
tenants of the company, there baa been
a deal of guess work indulged in. It
was noticed tn fee armory this morning
that Joe Matthews and John Grant
were the assistants of the officers and
enjoyed their confidence and respect.
It is safe to say that they will be the
two lieutenants of the company. They
have both had a great deal of experi
ence In military mailers, as Matthews
>.v3g adjutant of tbe local battalion
and Grant captain cf a company. Joe
Matthews is the janitor of the Masonic
building and is especially well known
among the society men of the city, as
he lias always been an attendant In the
men's dressing rooms at the germane.
He is about six feet four In height and
will make a fine soldier. John Grant
is a middle aged man, has been for
many a y.’ar a restaurant waiter and
is one of the most highly respected
colored men in the city. He is a con
servative and deep thinking man and
will make Captain Mullarky a valuable
assistant.
The m?n are now in camp, busily en
gaged In pitching tents and cleaning
streets.
