was mentioned an o-ne of the real daugh

commemoration for bravery of your father
on the lb id of King’s Mountain swept 'the
house with applause. The Macon Chap

was most credltatble —Atlanta giving $25

tion, and when I gave tier my credentials
as your friend she gave to me all the cor-

ing yon many messages of love, when the
crowd that continually surrounded her

and radiant smile were left to mo.

applause of victor and vanquished. It
made me Chink of the famous (Bucking

tolil tide, and that Mrs. Sparks has given
it > you in fuller measure by word of
mouth. But I know she has not 'told what
1 can of the Impression she made where
soever .-he went, for she won golden opin- j
ions everywhere. Not only on account of
her rare beauty of person, which made her
the handsome : woman at the reception
where 2,500 women had been bidden and
came, but on '. 'count of her graceful
graclousncss of manner, that made even

The D. A. R. Congress seems to have
combined in a pleasure style, fashion and
family, and patriotism has by no meams
in'terferred with the love of pretty clothes.
The W ashington Host describes two won
derfully pretty gowns, thus:
“The D. A. R. Congress, by the way.
was a thing to have made the soul of a
fashion writer leap with her. for Was'i
lington has never seen a better dressed
. body of women. Not only the delegates
wire elegantly garbed, but 'he young wo
men who acted as ushers were some of
them veritable fashion plates.
“Miss Ballinger was’one of the ushers,
and the gown she appeared in on Wednes
day morning quite made one forget the
regttlar order of business. It was of white
cloth, lined with cerise silk. About the
hem of the skirt and among the laces on
'the corrage were bands of ermine, and
here and there the gown had rows of lace
under which the cerise lining
showed. It was a delghtful gown, and Miss
Bailing! r trailed it about the dusty aisles
quite as unconcernedly as if white gowns
grew on trees —family trees —and perhaps
they do for her.
“Personally I don't know anything about
Mrs. Daniel Manning's qualification for
the office to which she was elected Thurs
day, but if I had been a delegate to
that congress I would have needed noth
ing but the toilet Mrs. Manning appeared
in to convince nte of her fitness for any
office under the sun. It was a master-

I piece, that gown of hers. It was of cash
mere—l •think it’s called cashmere —of a
soft violet color. It. was la vishly embroid
! ered with a silken cord, in which a glint
I of silver showed. The- embroidery was of
! the cut-out sort, and underneath It one
I caught glimpses of the softest pale green
i chiffon. There were sable bands on the
' sash, and the vest was of turquoise vel
• vet. The jewels on the long lorgnous chain
j Mrs. Manning wore were emeralds, and
i her flowers were violets She endured the
; strain of the long day with a well-bred
i composure, which showed her the very
great lady she is, and I am quite sure that
gown must have been a consolation to her,
; even In ""’.e most trying moments.”
i That last idea may sound somewhat
frivolous to a man, but women know that
\ moral and mental and physical strength
i are augmented by the consciousness of be
j Ing perfectly ’gowned. Not that the wo-
I ma® who is attired in the mpst exquisite
I taste is the one to think most of her
I clothes. No indeed, for she can afford to
I be unconscious of such trivialities as bon
nets and gowns. It is the one who is just
l a little uncertain of her dressmaker bhat
■ finds her loftiest thoughts interrupted by
I the fear that her skirt doesn’t “set right"
i or her waist fit.
The writer in the Host also remarks
uppn “the air with which the members of
the D. A. R. speak ofyiheir annual con-
I vent ion as “The Congress.’ When they
j mean that in.-fgnificnnt body up on Capitol
i Hill -they say ‘they United States Congress,
or' the Senate and the House.’ ”

in'; Miss Huguenin and Miss Stetson, left

in Atlanta.

MACON NEWS MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 7 1898.
MANCHESTER
INCORPORATED
The Neatest Thing That Has
Been Done in These Parts
in Some Time.
ELECTION LAST SATURDAY.
The Movement Has Been Going On
for Some Time Vineville
Knocked Out.
Positively the’ neatest thing in the way
of finesse that has been practiced in these
parts for some time was thg incorporation
of Manchester which was effected on Sat
urday last.
So cleverly was the whole thing done
that the newspapers did not get an ink
ling of what was going on right under
their noses, and the injunction fiend, the
politician and the chronic kicker were all
left in the lurch.
The whole thing in a nut-shell is. that
the property about Manchester Mills which
has been heretofore regardcr as a part of
the future city of Vineville was incorpor
ated on Saturday last by a vote of 40 of
the inhabitants. The population o£ Man
chester, which consists of a eotton mill
■and a eoleny of operatives is possibly 300
all 'told. The new city is about twenty
five acres big and is, strictly speaking, a
manufacturing centre situated upon the
Central railroad about two and a half or
three miles from Macon.
The petition to the superior court was
filed in the clerk’s office on Friday night,
or on the day before the election for or
against incorporation was recited as set
to take place.
The clerk of the court evidently wished
to assist the incorporators in their plan of
secrecy so far as the ' newspapers were
concerned for he “forgot” conveniently
that such an important paper had been
filed until after the polls had closed and a
majority of the voters of Manchester had
decided to form themselves into a muni
cipality.
On Saturday evening ’.the clerk “remem
bered” the paper, and the public for the
first time learned the news.
The petition recites that ns no news
paper is published in Manchester, notices
of the proposed incorporation and the day
of the election were posted in conspicuous
places throughout the proposed municipal
ity. It is to be presumed that the notices
were posted and that the places selected
were conspicuous but somehow no one saw
them. •
In this way the Manchester Mills people
stole a march on the Vinevillians. Now if
Vineville incorporates, she will .incorporate
without Manchester Mills, which has all
along been looked upon as a par t of Vine
ville. When the incorporation of Vineville
as a separate town was so mush talked
about, 'Manchester Mills and the Manches
ter Mills’ taxes were eonsiderefl an im
portant factor in the new city.
The property is .a valuable one and its
taxes would have ma-toriaHy assisted in
the expenses of the new city. But the own
ers of Manchester were not to be caught.
They get ahead of Vineville, and being
now incorporated it Is not probable that
they will trouble with sewers or that the
first city budget will be extremely bulky.
The fact of the matter is that Manches
ter will proceed with the developments of
her municipal interests with extreme cau
tion and that the growth of the city will
not be on the mushroom order.
The work of the mayor and aldemen will
be extremely light, 'though the board of
health will probably take steps to'prevent
infectious diseases from being brought to
the city. It is not known as yet whether
Manchester will quarantine against Macon
in consequence of the smallpox but such
may be the first step taken by the new
board when it is elected.

Mr. Harvey English has covered the roof
of the engine room of the Albany Water
works with his roof paint, and I am well
satisfied with the work. He has also done
some work for me personally, two years
ago, which has proved satisfactory.

I have had my tin roof painted by Mr.
English. It leaked very badlv. Since it
was painted it HAS NOT LEAKED A
DROP. He painted a roof for Capt. J. G.
McCall that leaked so badly that no one
would rent it. He had it painted and
worked on until he had about decided that

Having had Mr. Harvey English to paint
several roofs with his incomparable prep
aration for stopping leaks, it affords me
pleasure to bear testimony to his honest
workmanship and to the fact that “Eng

Mr. Harvey English has stopped a very
bad leaking roof for us with «his English
Paint. I recoram.md his paint to any one
[ who is troubled with leaky roofs.
F. Whire, Supt.
Georgia Cotton Oil Co., Albany Mill.
Mr. English has done some work for us
that required the best of paints and skill
as a workman. Without soldering he has
made a very leaky roof dry and tight. It
gives us pleasure to recommend him.

The corrugated iron roof of our shop
leaked so badly that in times of a heavy
rain, we have ’’been compelled to shut
down all work and wait until the rain was
over. Mr. English painted the roof with
his English Roof Paint, stopped the leaks,
and now the work goes on, rain or no rain.
His paint is a first-class article. We take
pleasure in recommending English and his
paint. Beverly Bros. & Hargrave,

t* We are ab'le to announce that MISS
MERRL-YM, the expert Corset fitter, who has been
with us during the past week, will remain all this
week. It should hardly be necessary for us to
advise the ladies to take advantage of this oppor- p!
tunity to possess themselves of the finest Corset
sold in this country. There is no question but that
f: the Redfern Corset is the first today in favor with
those ladies who want the best. True, it costs a g
r little more than other Corsets, but it is far cheaper
r in the end than any other Corset made.
