Jerry McCalls, the negro who was put
off the fast train between Covington and
Conyers, by Capt. Harry Hill, on the 4th
of July, for cursing and swearing, and
otherwise acting in a disorderly manner,
was arrested at Gainesville, by Detective
Stone, on last Tuesday nigh’, and was
brought to Covington end lodged in jail
on Wednesday. He was brought before
Justice Harris on Friday for a prelimi¬
nary investigation, and the evidence ad¬
duced developed the following as the
facts: When Jerry got aboard the fast
train at Covington, he began cursing and
using bad language generally, and acting
in a very disorderly manner. There
were a large number of passengers on the
train, both white and black, and Capt
Hill asked him to keep quiet, and not use
such language. Jerry defiantly replied
that he usually talked and acted as he
pleased. He continued to act in a disor'
derly manner, and was informed by con¬
ductor Hill that if he did not keep quiet
he would have to put him off the train.
The negro replied that he fthe conduc¬
tor; could not do that, as he had a ticket
which he had bought from the Georgia
railroad company, and he knew what his
rights were. He refused to keep quiet,
after having been asked to do so by the
conductor, and the train was stopped and
Jerry was put off. He resisted, and was
ejected by force, When he reached the
ground, he picked up a rock as large as a
man’s fist, and threw it at the crowd,
which struck Mr. Conner, one of the men
who assisted Capt. Hill in putting him off,
in the side, breaking the works of his
heavy cased watch. Jerry continued to
throw rocks at the crowd until Capt. Hill
procured a pistol and fired at him. He
then ran up the road until he had cleared
the cut in which the train had stopped,
and when the train moved on, he contin¬
ued to throw rocks at it as long as he was
in reach of it. These facts having been
estaolished to the satisfaction of the cour ,
Jerry required to give bond in the
was which he went to
sum of $300, in default of

Death of Elder Wm. S. Montgomery.
It is with profound sorrow we make the an¬
nouncement that Elder Wm. S. Montgomery is
dead, which sad event occurred at his home,
near Brick Store, in Newton county, on Monday
afternoon, Sept. 14 , 1885 . He has been afflicted
for many years, and for a long time his death
has been expected almost daily. But his strength
failed to bear up under his great suffering at last
and he died as he lived a pure and noble man.
Elder Montgomery was well known to the
people of Georgia, and was universally beloved
by those who knew him intimately, His death
will cast a shadow over many hearts and homes
which had beengladdened by the genial warmth
of his noble Christian counsel. A more elabo
rate and appropriate notice will be given next
week. His funeral took place on yesterday.
The Star extends sympathy to his bereaved
family.

Lines on a Kiss.
BY L. K. F, U. S. S.
The kiss you promised me profound
I, lingering, yearn to taste
■
1 long to lay my arms around
Your delicate, Grecian waist;
And from your cherry lips to hear
A low and faint sigh, like this :
“O what amazing raptures, dear,
Are centered in one sweet kiss !”
I’d press you ta my bosom’s core
—
O, it could not be amiss ;
Fd kiss you o’er, and o’er, and o’er,
An age to every kiss. ~
I swear by all the sylphs above,
Around that sweet orifice,
Pd pour the ardor of my love
hi one eternal kiss.
To feel each heart-beat answer heart,
Would be quite enougli of bliss ;
And surely we could never part,
.Cemented by such a kiss.
To feel the warm blood hotly glow,
Pleasure never ending is :
To be where kisses blooming
O who could grow,
refuse to kiss ?
Thus let me live, thus let me die,
My fair, tender, loving Miss ;
O let my spirit homeward fly,
On wings of a parting kiss.

Rev. J. M. Brittain was
erator, w hich was a just and titti ig tribu;*
to his high character.
There were more than 100 delegates to
the association. The meeting was a har¬
monious and profitable one. The citizens
of Covington entertained them in their
usual hospitable and elegant style, as delega¬ was
openly expressed by the whole
tion. We close by saying that we think
the session was a materially beneficial
one _beneficial to the the delegates and to
Covington. At least the Star thinks so.
The Royal Arcanum.
Covington takes great interest in Mutual Ben¬
efit Associations. We have three lodges here,
belonging to three of the best mutual ben¬
efit associations in the world, and they each
have a good membership. The oldest lodge of
these orders, is the Knights of Honor, which
was organized here over ten years ago. The
benefit or insurance in this order is $ 2 , 000 . The
the next oldest is American Legion of Honor,
and the benefit is divided into six classes, the
amount of each ranging from $500 to $ 5000 .
The youngest of the lodges here is the Royal
Arcanum. Each of them have lost some
of their members by death, and their bent
etits have all been promptly paid. They
are all good, and all afford the cheapest
life insurance that can possibly assertion be that ob¬
tained. In proof of our
Covington takes great interest in these
fraternal and mutual benefit associations
we will simply mention the fact that the
members of ‘the different lodges here,
carry an aggregate amount of near $.>50,000
of insurance in them. Of course the as¬
sessments on all that, amount to a good
sum each year, but the lodges here have
received from the supreme treasury of
the respective orders, 011 the death of
members, the magnificent sum of $27,000.
This sum is made up as follows, in the
number of the deceased members of each
order, and the amounts paid by each :

An Important Discovery.
The most important Discovery is that which
brings the most good to the greater number.—
Dr. King’s New Discovery s for Consumption,
Coughs, and Colds, will preserve the health and
save life, and is a priceless boon to the afflicted.
Not only does it positively cure Consumption,
but Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, Asthma, Hoarse
ness, and all effections of the Throat, Chest,
and Lungs, yield at once to its wonderful cura¬
tive powers. If you doubt this, get a Trial

How lie Got a Position.
I applied for a position in a, banking
house in Wall street six months ago, and
although I proved my competency, they
would not take me. 1 had been down on
i#y luck and looked old and shabby. An
idea struck me, I got up a new growth of
hair with Parker’s Hair Balsair, raised a
decent suit of clothes, applied again, and
they took ine in a minute. So writes a
clerk with $2,000 salary. The moral is
plain. Parker’s Hair Balsam gives a per¬
son a new face. Ira.
