The Continued Merrier*.
The s:rvices at - the Methodist

to take optimistic views of file. Be
hopeful, at least.

The Arrington-Lane Trial.

case Saturday afternoon. He had
not concluded when court adjourned,
and finished Monday morning. All
of Monday was taken up by the
speeches of Hon. Tom McIntyre, Jr.,
and others. Capt. Hammond Bpoke
yesterday. It is quite likely tho case
went to the jury late yesterday even
ing, or will go early this morning.
The ease has excited a profound
interest in Quitman, and public senti
ment is taking a turn that mny lead to
unpleasnnt results, Whatever the ver
dict of the jury may be.
Capt. Hammond came home on the
freight yesterday evening after mnk-
ing the closing speech in the case.
I.ATER.
• The following telegram was receiv
ed at 9 o'clock lost night:
Quitman, May 14.—Txmes-Entkk-
frisk: The argument in the Arring-
ton-Lane case was concluded nt one
o’clock to dav. and after the Judge’s
charge of half an hour the case went
to the jury. They nre still out, and
the opinion is that a mistrial will be
the result. C. I. G.

Capt. Moore and his son, Mr. IV.
R. Moore, were iu Quitman Thursday,
shakiug hands with their numerous
frieuds here. Capt. Moore lived here

Gone to Augusta.

to attend the annual meeting of the
State Grand Lodge of the Royal Ar-
cautiui.
Tho showing made by the Thomas-
villc Real Estate and* Improvement
coifipauy, the figures will be found in
another column, is the very strongest
argument that could be used to prove
two things—that Thoransville real
estate is a safe investment?, and that
ths affairs of the company hare been
managed iu au unexceptionable man
ner.
A Timed—Enter frisk reporter saw
a bevy of youths engaged in an earnest
conversation yesterday afternoon. If
these young gentlemen were to agitate
the formation of a cadet corps, as an
adjunct to the Thomasvillc Guards,
they would not be very far wrong.
Capt, Moore went down to Quitman
yesterday to hear the speeches in the
Arrington-Lane cose. He says that
Capt. Hammond made the most
eloquent speech, with one exception,
•hat ho has ever listened to. Judge
Hansell’s charge to the jury was
especially fine.
