found guilty of assault with intent to
murder. His lawyers made a motion
for a new trial, and yesterday Judge
Hansell granted the motion, hut it
was decided that ’twould be best for
tho negro to plead guilty and serve a
short sentence, rather than remain in
jail and take the uncertain chnucc3 of
an acquittal.
Arbor Day at Young Female
College.
Carrying out the suggestions in the
Times-Enterprise of a few days ago,
Arbor day was observed at Young
Female College on Friday. Presi
dent Baker gave the young ladies
an interesting lecture on the origin
of the custom, the object of the day
and the historic interest connected
with trees in the early settlement of
our country and the formation of our
government. At the close of the
lecture, and it was closely listened
to throughout, the following young
ladies read poems on various trees.
The following was the programme:
Poem on tho Pine.—Miss Maggie
Bibb.
The Palm Tree.—Miss Mary Ste
phens.
Magnolia GrandiHora. — Miss
Mamie Ligbtfoot.
The Bay.—Miss Blanche Baker,
The Oak.—Miss Mary Wethington.
Woodman Spare that Tree.—Miss
Iiuth Mitchell.
The Mimosa.—Miss Nora Millsaps.
The Orange.—Miss Mary Bellinger.
The Birch Tree.—Miss Annie Po
land.
Willow Song.—Miss Stella Pittman.
Holly.—Miss Sallie Harley.
At the conclusion of the reading of
the poem on the Holley, thattiee was
planted aud dedicated to the Senior
eh'ss of 1890-91. A uutr,b?r of other
trees were planted out in the college
grounds by the pupils. The occasion
was a very interesting one, President
Baker, the teachers and pupils, all
taking great interest in it. It is a
pretty custom, and we hope that in
the years to come the fair maidens of
Young Female College will oclebratc
tho day nupunlly.

At the Stuart.
That' German at the Stuart on

successful affairs of the season. The

interested in it, tliau those who were
on the floor.
Tho following parties participated:
Mr. R. C. Dickinson with Miss

with “Home, Sweet Home” waltz.
To its measured strains the couples
floated around, while the golden mo
ments flew by on more rapid wing.
Everyono present voted the aflnir
a most enjoyable one. How could
it have been otherwise, with tho hos

How the Tariff Works.
The Georgia Alliance Monthly
says:
“You may talk tariff till your head
aches, but the best way to convince
the people that tariff is a tax is to put
a McKinley bill on them and pull their
hard-earned dollars. When you go to
buy an article and find the price is 50
p-r cent, higher than your previous
purchase, and the McKinley bill the
only reason given for the advance,
it is a conclusive argument.
Mr. McKinley in a few months con
vinced more people that tariff is a tax,
and an unjust and burdensome tax
than Henry Watteson has by his able
tariff articles reaching through a period
of twenty-five years. McKinley’s argu
ment is a clincher, and it he had his
way, lie would carry the country for
tariff reform in rSpa by an overwhelm
ing majority.”
Tho Way of tho World.
Laugh, and the world laughs with you.
Weep, and you weep alone—
For this bravo old oarth
Must borrow its mirth,
It has trouble enough for Its own.
Sing, and tho hills will answer,
Sigh, and ’tis lost on tho air,
Tho echoes rebound
To a joyful sound,
But shrinks from voicing care.
Rejoice, and men will seek you,
Grieve, and they will turn and go,
They want full measure
Of all your p ensure,
But they do not want your woe.
Be glad, and your friends aic many;
Be sad, and you lose them all,
There arc none to decline
Your nectarcd wine,
But alone you must dunk life’s gall.
Feast, and your halls arc crowded,
Fast, and tho worUl goes by,
Succeed and give,
And it helps you live,
But it cannot help you dio.
There is room in tho halls of pleasure
For a long and lordly train ;
Bet ono hy ono
Wo must all 11 lo on
Through tho narrow isles of pain.
A Lumber Combine.
