however.
There is some talk among the voting
men about towm of reorganizing a

the next thing will be a brass
band.

sort south.

The horse attached to the Finger
it Shelly Co’s dray has a regular
habit of getting a case or two of
shoes tangled up among his hind
legs and starting briskly up Alain
street in front of the post-office
without the driver’s leave every
other evening about 4 o’clock. Many
people are very careless in their neg
lect of teams, and it is wonderful
that no more catastrophes occurs.
A gentleman living near Shallow’
Ford captured a beaver this week,
brought it to town, ami disposed of
it at Brown it Whelchel’s market.
Beaver meat has an excellent repu
tation. Some one on seeing the ani-
I mal dressed and hanging before the
i market exclaimed : “Golly ! that cat
was killed while it was mad. Look
at its tail.”

A Third Party Speech.
Last Saturday, after the adjournment
of court for noon recess, Ben Terrell of
Texas, national lecturer for the Farmers'
Alliance, addressed a small audience of
Populist and Alliance brethren at the
court house.
He was introduced by Mr. Oliver
Clark, and announced himself as the na
tional lecturer of the Alliance, orator of
the Alliance Aid Association, and a gen
eral well-wisher of humanity. He was
deliberate, plain, and practical in his
speech, and charitable and liberal to
honest adherents to other beliefs.
He made an earnest plea for the per
petuation of the Alliance, and declared
that the organization was no secret po
litical one; that it was a political educa
tor; that it did not attempt to dictate or
control the votes of its members, and
that it had largely supported the Popu
list platform for the reason that the Pop
ulists alone accepted the demands of the
farmers made by the conventions at
Ocala and St. Louis; and that, with the
proposed amalgamation with three other
strong farmers’ associations, the Alli
ance will soon be more powerful than
ever.
He demonstrated the object of the in
stitution as the improvement of its mem
bers socially, morally, mentally, and
financially—as a fraternity, a business
exchange, and an insurance concern.
He then drifted into a discussion of
politics, what he termed the “demands
of the Alliance.” These demands con
sisted of, first, an honest currency—
money which shall be always the same
price, full legal tender for debts—a
money of final payment, whose volume
is under the control of the people; sec
ond, governmental ownership of trans
portation systems. In short, he yearned
for the time when every fellow can bor
row all the money lie wants from the
government, and hold free passes on all
the railroads.
The Charmls of Sweet Song.
Chestnut Street Baptist church on
Friday nights has singing class which
meets to practice music to be used in
regular worship.
Last Friday evening there was an unu
sually refreshing service. The class
sang Rev. J. T. Gibson’s new song enti
tled “Gainesville” with a hearty good
feeling. The lire of the Methodist au
thor was united with the water of the
Baptist singers, and the effect was sim
ply mellowing.
It would perhaps be well if other con
gregations accasionally met for the pur
pose of improving their music.
The World’s Fair.
Did you attend the World’s Fair? If
you didn’t you missed your last oppor
tunity last Thursday night when Rev. G.
W. Belk of Virginia lectured on this
subject in the opera house for the bene
fit of the Ladies’ Aid Society of the First
Methodist church.
Many supposed that nothing new, orig
inal, and entertaining could be said on
a theme so frequently discussed, but all
such were most agreeably disappointed
upon hearing the talented lecturer.
Dr. J. W. Oslin’s graceful services were
again in requisition in introducing the
speaker.
Mr. Belk then began and engaged the
complete attention of the full house for
an hour and a half. His lecture was an
alternation of beautiful rhetoric, vivid
description, and sparkling wit, delivered
with a gracefulness of diction and dis
tinctness of utterance that had a telling
effect. His description of the iparvels of
the fair and of Midway Plaisance were
realistic, and his humorous anecdotes
about the big exhibition were hugely en
joyed, and at times his eloquence, re
plete with apt alliteration and rounded
periods, approached poetic rhythm.
Altogether it was a wonderful talk on
a wonderful theme—“the great Exposi
tion of the Workers of the World.”

A Frisky Asinine.
Jim Bagwell, who lives on South Broad
street, has a decided taste for horses and
mules, but his ardor was cooled a little
bit Tuesday evening. He went to his
pasture, secured a mule, and as usual
flung himself across its back.
But his mulish majesty was in no mood
to be trifled with without the ceremony
of a consultation, and inclined his back
bone at an angle of 30 degrees, hind end
highest, and gracefully deposited his
rider ini the downy meshes of a barbed»
wire fence.
Bagwell’s brother was near by and as
sisted Jim to his room and to bed, where
he remained in a painful condition till
yesterday evening. He is up now’ and
laughs at his own mishap.
The damage to the wire fence, we are
sincerely rejoiced to know, was merely
nominal and can be repaired.
The mule, after performing his part of
the ceremony, lit over the fence and be
gan a round of rcvelings. Bagwell’s
brother is reported to have chased the
critter all night, asserting fiercely at in
tervals that he “would capture the beast
if he went within ten miles of Lucifer’s
headquarters.”
Buttons all off and Sides Aching.
Last Friday evening the first of a
series of entertainments which are
being given by the faculty of the Geor
gia Female Seminary occurred. It was
• the lecture by Prof. Charles Lane of
Atlanta upon “Talks and Talkers.”
After the rendering of “The Rustic
Waltz,” one of Prof. Wallace’s latest
and best compositions, by the G. F. S.
orchestra, Prof. Pearce introduced the
noted humorist. The substance of his
remarks was: “If ye have risibles,
prepare to use them now.”
Prof. Lane began by stating that no
where from Maryland to Mexico had
he met an audience so responsive and
so appreciative as in the the little Queen
City of the Mountains.
He then paid a graceful and much
deserved tribute to the orchestra’s ex
cellent music, aftlr which the large au
dience was delightfully entertained by
the brightest and best effort of Geor
gia’s famous humorous lecturer.
Prof. Lane possesses the rare talent
of producing roars or tears at pleasure,
and at times the ridiculous and the
pathetic were so strangely blended that
the hearers scarcely knew which de
sire was stronger, to laugh or to weep,
while about every 30 seconds, on an
average, they laughed till thejr
help but weep. a very h r

again, after allowing a sufficient inter
val to elapse for the people to recover
from their recent attack of “risible ex

house would enthusiastically welcome
him.
Got the Wrong Bird.
Last week wc made an unfortunate
error, which we now gladly take an op
portunity of correcting. In the account
of a theft committed at M. C. Brown &
Co.’s drug store we represented the
youthful offender as a son of Mr. Thos.
Bird. In this statement we were mista
ken, and unintentionally did a worthy
citizen a very great injustice.

Married at the residence of Mr. Win.
Porter of Leo, White county, Tuesday
evening, Mr. L. T. Fuller of this city to
Miss Nora Porter, Bev. Simmons offi
ciating. The wedding was a very quiet
one, only a few friendsand the immediate
family being present. Miss Porter is a
beautiful and accomplished young lady
and one calculated to shine in pantry as
well as parlor, while Mr. Fuller is a ris
ing young business man of sterling qual
ities and business integrity. The Eagle

It Runs in the Family.
Bev. George W. Belk from the “Ohl
Dominion” preached at the First Meth
odist church for bis brother last Sab
bath morning. His discourse on the
‘Wonderful Savior” was clear, pure
gospel, pointed in application, and
beautiful in language and delivery.
Bev. S. B. Belk will be forced to
hustle pretty lively to keep abreast of
his little brother, whom he never heard
preach till Sunday morning.
In the evening the Methodists woi
shiped with their Presbyterian biethren
and heard another excellent sermon
from Rev. G. W. Belk.
The Episcopal Ladies.

Col. Jupiter Pluvius of Cloud
ville attended Superior Court here
again this week, especially yester
day. The old gentleman was tried
for misdemeanor—injuring public
roads of the county and found
guilty.
Yesterday afternoon while the
rain was fairly pouring, a negro was
seen complacently seated astride of
a—yearling steer, going out one of
our principal streets. When asked
ho> y- far he proposed to travel thus,
, '■ “'J' * )! '*'* “
. Just when Henry
going upon trial for his share in the
killing of Martin by Silas Paltnour a
messenger announced io him that
his infant child was at the point of
death. We hope that ere this the
little one is out of peril.
The most sensational case in
court this week was the Kiser trial.
The court room was crowded during
its progress. Many were under the
impression that the indictment was
for “assault with intent to commit
rape,” but it was simple “assault and
battery.” The old. man in his state
ment protested his innocence with
tears, but the evidence was unfavor
able and he was found guilty.
A few weeks ago John Porter, who
lives some distance from the city,
carefully wrapped a S2O bill and de
posited it in the depths of his trou
sers pocket. Monday he came to
town, made some purchases, and
drew his roll for the purpose of pay
ing his bill. What was his surprise
to find a $lO and a $2 bill where his
XX should have been. The question
now is, who made the exchange ?
Rev. J. 11. Little and lady are com

Little will fill his appointment at
the Myrtle street Methodist church
on the second Sunday of each month.
His congregation is' much pleased
with its new past r. Mr. Little
possesses one talent so frequently
lacking in brilliant preachers and
faithful pastors —he is a first-class
singer.
The case of Silas V. Paltnour,
Henry Towery, James S. Lathem,
and Ben Ham of this place and
Pres Paine and Cieve Chastain of
Forsyth county, who are charged
with murder, was called Tuesday
evening, but owing to the absence
of the two parties last named, the
counsel for the defense announced
that they were not ready for trial
and moved to continue the case to
I the next term of the court. The
I motion was over-ruled, but the case
1 has not yet been decided.
