A pleasant surprise party called at the residence of Mr. H. B. Ainsworth, Monday evening, and wore hospitably entertained bv Misses May Ainsworth aud Lena Everett.

'..-...J--- Quite a number of young people went out to the rosidquco of Mr. J. P. Arnold, on Tuesday night, the occa sion being an entertainment given in houor of Miss Johnnie Niblo, of Brunswick, who is visiting the Misses Arnold. It goes without saying that every ono present enjoyed tho occa sion to the fullest extent. A beautiful rainbow spanned the eastern sky, during a brief shower yes terday afternoon. The bright colors, dissolving into the other, contrasted well with the each ground of black clouds heaped up in the cast. There is a story going around of a man who mndo a fortune without ad vertising. Possibly ho was a burglar and felt thqt publicity would not im prove his business —News. Dr, McAllister, of Iowa, will leave this' morning for the West. His family will spend the winter here. The Doctor’s new made friends would he glad to see him down South again. The Brunswick Times pithily re marks : “When men inaugurate a campaign of slander against n gallant confeder ate soldier, they are courting political death. A man out in Indiana has gone crazy over the tariff question. There are several congressmen crazy on this subject, also; but they have not been locked up, as the Indiana man has been. A Mr. Marks is going to build an electric railway between Philadelphia and New York. The new road will carry passengers between the two cities, a distance of ninety miles, in thirty-six minutes. As. parson Jasper would say: “The world do move.” Attention is called to postmaster Smith’s notice. He is charged up with the quarterage on box rents, and asks bis friends to settle before the 10th. An exchange sympathising with Kansas says: That state has been troubled with drought, grasshoppers and Susan B. Anthony for several years. Kilgore, of Texas, should be re turned to congtess. He may be needed there next session. His kicking qualities highly recommend him. True To Party. It has been charged against General Gordon that he was encouraging in dependents to como out in several counties to oppose regular nominees, who were known to be against him. The following two letters recently written by Governor Gordon, will put at rest these charges: Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 22, 1890. Dr. II. V. Hardwick, Conyers, Ga: My Dear Doctor—Your letter is just received. I should have written to my friends beforo this but for my absence. I deeply deplore any split in the democratic party; and iwbi'.o inde pendents are being put out in Burke, and I hear in other counties, to run against nominees who have declared for mo, yet my invariable rule has been to insist that my friends in every case, no matter how it afiected my candidacy, should vote for the regular nominees of the party. I have done this in the case of Hall county, of Gwinnett, and various localities. I will write to my warm friends in Rockdale and ask them to vote for tho nominee, whether he ho for me or against me. I had rather lose the votes of these counties than sec a breach in democratic ranks. You arc at liberty to use this in any way you see fit, for I never have secrets in any matters that affect the public good. We cannot nfford to have dissensions in democratic ranks however grave the injustice to any candidate. I am being grossly misrepresented to my Alliance friends all over Geor gia; but I have an abiding faith in tbe intelligence and manhood of the mem bers of the brotherhood and do not believe they can be deceived in refer ence to . my long devotion to their cause and principles. Your friend, J. B. Gordon, Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 22, 1890. Hut. A. M. Helm, Ccnyers, Ga : My Dear Mr. Helm—You know my lienrt is full of gratitude to you aud my friends for your devotion to me and my political fortuues; but let me beg you not to place in jeopardy the integrity of tho democratic party in Rockdale. I had rather lose Rock dale’s vote than seo tho party of our safety rent in twain. Sincerely your friend, J. B. Gordon. No man cun read these letters with out giving General Gordon credit for being true as tried steel to the demo cratic party. Ho subordinates his personal claims and nmbition to the good of the party. Could nny man do more? No, no, there is no truer man in Georgia titan John B. Gor don. The record of the flrat session of the 51st congress wit' be m?Jc up to day. And it is anything but a credi table one. c Richard W. Wliitely, belter known, perhaps, as “Dick” Whitely, died the othet day in Colorado. To-day will delegate a good many Georgia politicians to the rear. SIGNAL SERVICE BUREAU R. Tbomu irY 126 Broil Street. R.
