assigned to the carriages as above stated
will be taken on a drive through a portion
of the city. The very limited time has
made it necessary to restrict this drive to
only a few of our many beautiful streets.
The route designated and settled is as fol
lows: Up Second street to Mulberry street,
•up Mulberry street to Georgia avenue, up

Occasionally alterations have to be resorted to. Cus

We make the Suit or Overcoat fit you perfectly, or

The attention of the old veterans is. call
ed to an order published in another col
umn calling upon all old veterans of Bibb
county to‘assemble at the Union depot on
•Monday morning at 7:30 o’clock for the
purpose of taking part in the reception of
President McKinley and party.
Bear in mind that the time of meeting
has been changed from § to 7:30 o’cuock.
Every old veteran is earnestly requested to
be in hand promptly at the hour mention
ed above.
Mr. Ed Shinholser. and old engineer,
formerly of the Central Railroad, who hasi
bten Running on the Kansas City Railroad
for several months, is visiting his family
in South Atacon.
Mr. Shinholser Speaks In glowing terms '
of his railroad and its officials. He will
return about the first of January.
It was reported to your correspondent
several weeks since that Mr. Shinholser
was hurt On said railroad and was so an
nounced in The News at the time. Mr.
Shinholser stated to your correspondent
this morning that the accident, or rather
The collision, and turning over of his en
gine occurred as stated, fortunately for
him, however, he was not hurt at all at
the time.
It was tated in The News yesterday
evening that there never had been but one
double hanging in Macon, or Bibb county,
as the case may be. While this is true,
the statement is somewhat misleading, as
it seemingly conveyed the the idea that
more than one had not been banged at
one time.-In 1866, I think it was. we had a
trippie hanging In the old jail yard on
Fourth street, when three negroes’were i
hung at one dron, for the murder and
robbery of Mr. Sheffield, whose place of
business was on Forsyth street near the
Vineville Branch. “Smith.”

ITO BE ARRAIGNED
Mr. W. B. Chapman Summon
ed Before the Deacons.
WHAT R£V J, I, WHITE MIS
Mr. Chapman Accused of Endors
ing Mayor Price’s Strictness on
the First Baptist Pastor,
Mr. W. B. Chapman has been ordered
j to appear before the board of deacons of
■ the First Baptist church tomorrow on the
charge of approving Mayor Price’s words
in regard to Dr. White at the meeting of
the city council on Wednesday night. Mr.
Chapman was. present at the meeting and,
it is understood by the members of the
church that he approved of the sayings of
the mayor about Dr. White.
It is true that Mr. Price did say some
warm things about Dr. White at thfe
meeting, but Mr. Chapman did not so far
as is known express any approval or dis
approval of his remarks, though at the
time there was applause.
Dr. White was seen this morning in re
gard to the matter and asked if the report
was true and he replied: “Yes, it is trite,
but I cannot talk about the matter until
after the meeting tomorrow. It is true,
however, that Mr. Chapman was sum
moned to appear before the board of dea
cons tomorrow morning on the charge of
approving of the mayor’s sayings in re
gard to me at the meeting of the city
council last Wednesday night.”
He refused to discuss the matter further
until after the meeting and it only re
mains to be seen what will be done in re
gard to the matter. (It is claimed by some
parties that the whole affair grew out of
the position taken by Mr. Chapman in the
recent prohibition contest. It is said that
Mr. Chapman will be defended by a law
yer 'at the meeting tomorrow.
The affair has created somewhat of a
sensation among the members of the
church and the outcome will be watched
with interest. • w
