An Unusual Coincidence.
A very unusual thing occurred in
Covington on Friday.
There were two elections held
at the same time.
One was the democratic primary
to select a candidate for the legis¬
lature to fill the vacancy caused by
the deathofHon. R. U. Hardeman;
and the other was for the selection
of a councilman for Covington, to
fill the vacancy caused by the death
of Mr. M. B. Fowler.
Both vacancies werp rancprl Vsy
death, and both were practically
filled by the two elections on Fri¬
day, as the councilman was elected
and the nominee of the primary
will be elected next Tuesday, the
17th inst.
The coincidence is a very rare
and unusual one, and such a thing
never occurred before in our city.
The Royal Arcanum Picnic
The members of Hendrick Coun¬

Academy spring, on Thursday.
The members of the Royal Ar

few invited guests, met at the fine
spring for the purpose of enjoying
a pleasant day’s outing, and the
occasion was enjoyed very much
by every one present.
A fine barbecue was prepared, and
an abundance of everything good
to eat was spread for the enjoy¬
ment of the party.
It was an occasion long to be
remembered by those fortunate
enough to be present.
The Royal Arcanum is a frater¬
nal organization, with an insurance
feature, which makes it one of the
most popular associations of the
kind in existence, while it furnish¬
es the cheapest life insurance in
the world.
Col. J. G- Lester, of Covington,
is at the head of the organization
in Georgia, as its chief officer, and
he is doing all in his power to in
crease its membership, and to ex
tend the benefits of the order
throughout the state during his
term oi office.
All persons desiring to join the
order, therefore, and to secure the
benefit of its cheap and reliable in¬
surance, would do well to call on
Col. Lester, and he will take
ure in explaining its superior
vantages to them.

GOSSIP OF PEOPLE AND EVENTS.
Tariffa—The Pirate :
Tariff—The Law.
Beneath Gibraltar’s frowning cliffs,
The pirate's sail he trims and reefs ;
While sailing near 'mid friendly breeze,
Are “white-winged messengers of the sea.
The lookout shouts : “A sail ! a sail 1”
Mis rakish craft is soon on trail ;
With cutlass drawn, with grappling hooks,
To board her no restraint he brooks.
He boards her, and demands a handsome
Tribute to his craft ns ransome ;
Should they refuse, or should they mutter,
He tackles ’em with his << revenue cutter.
He cuts their throats, secures the plunder,
And sinks the ship ’steen fathoms under ;
Gets revenue thus, from store and farm,
By strength of his destroying arm.
“Tariffa” was this pirate’s name ;
Centuries have handed down his fame ;
Ilis name, tho’ time has naught detracted,
Into tariff plain has been contracted.
The crime he did, by hand of might.
Has been enacted into our law as right;
His pupils apt with vile predilection.
Such pillage now have dubbed protection.
Let’s build a monument o’er his dust,
In honor of him and “tariff trust
Its shaft of marble, base of granite,
And carve this epitaph upon it :
< i Here lies Tariffa, pirate chieftain,
Who set the sails of commerce driftin’ ;
Of tariff thieves the lone Messiah,
And patron saint of protected liar.
