EN CLUB PRESENTS
IN ITS SPRING EXHIBIT.
ThelCoitectlon of Flowers and Voge-
tables and the Artistic Arrangement
in the Y. M. C- A. Auditorium—
7 he Prizes Will be Awarded
Today.
The spring exhibit of the Ladies
Garden Club of Clarke county opened
Friday afternoon at four o’clock at
the rooms of the Young Men’s Chris
tian Association.
Quite a number of ladies and gentle
men visited the exhibit during the af
ternoon and last night after the enter
tainment at the opera house was over,
a large number visited the rooms and
were perfectly delighted.
Tbe display of flowers and vegetables
as arranged by the ladies of the club is
certainly one of the most beautiful ever
seen in Athens or to be seen anywhere
else. It reflects great credit not only
upon them, but upon the Classic City,
and proves that the Ladies Garden club
of Clarke county is a necessity.
So lovely was the scene presented to
the eyes of the reporter as he walked in
that it is very difficult to describe it in
becoming style.
The entire rostum in the auditorium
was occupied by tbe exhibit of Mrs. M.
Myers, consisting of flowers of all des
criptions. The choicest flowers were
there, they were such as are rarely
seen in so groat beauty, and Mrs.
Myers is to be congratulated upon her
excellent skill in raising the flowers.
Around the room in different exhibits
were arranged in a lovely manner.
Mrs.’Lamar Cobb bad on exhibition
several gold fish three years old, some
three to flve weeks old and some two
days old.
Mrs. Dr. Gerdine has an elegant dis
play of flowers and vegetables as has
also Mrs. T. W. Rucker, Mrs. L. Cobb,
and Mrs. W. B. Burnett. Mrs. H. H.
Carlton and Miss Julia Carlton have
two very pretty exhibits, and Mrs. H.
A. Lowrance also has a splendid exhib
it of flowers and vegetables.
Little Miss Marion Lumpkin’s exhib
it attracts a great deal of attention, she
being under $w«'ve years of age. Mrs.
£. K. Lumpkin has one of the loveliest
of the different exhibits of flowers and
ferns and vegetables.
Mrs. J. S. Hamilton’s exhibit of flow
ers and vegetables is one of the best of
the display. Mre. H. S. West, Mrs. G.
A. Mell, Mrs. J. E. Talmadge, Mrs.
George C. Thomas, Mrs. J. T. Anderson
and Mrs.Z. W. Betts, all have lovely
exhibits. Miss Lillie Moss bas an ex
hibit of Marechal Neil rose that is very
beautiful, and Mrs. R. C. Orr’s exhibit
of vegetables and fruits is very fine.
Peaches, apples and figs are displaped
here. Among other exhibits of which
-special mention should be made, are
those of Mrs. A.S. Mandeville, Mrs. E.
R. Hodgson, Mrs. G. D. Parr, Mrs. S.
C. Reese, and Mrs. R- M.Wade.
Tbe exhibition will be open today and
at twelve o’clock the prizes will be
awarded and the vegetables sold. The
judges are, Messrs. A. L. Hull, J. B.
Hunnicutt and James Camak.
If you want to have a real good time
and enjoy a beautiful sight, go around
and see this exhibit. The exhibit will
be open until 2 o’clock this afternoon,
and the young ladies cf tbe Lucy Cobb
and Home School will be in attendance.

AN OUTRAGE.
A Black Fiend Brutally Beats a White
Woman.
Last Sunday nurning about 4 o’clock
Bett Pulnott, an aged white woman
living near Bonetown was aroused from
her sleep by a chicken thief in her hen
house. She went out into her yard to
investigate the trouble, when she step
ped out into the yard she met a big ne
gro with a chicken under his arm. The
negro seeing that he was caught and
Tecognized, seized a plank lying in the
yard and struck tbe old woman a fear
ful blow, knocking her senseless. Her
son, a very small boy, realizing the
danger, blowed the distressed signals on
a horn and the neighbors soon corgre-
gated and were on track of tbe brute
The negro was tracked to his home and.
O'ptured, and proved to be the noto
rious Bill Fambrough. When caught
the chicken he bad stolen was picked
and in a pot cooking. He was brought
to Watkinsville and landed in jail
There was Btrong talk of lynching the
scoundre', but wiser council prevailed.
Though badly hurt the woman will get
well.—Oconee Enterprise.

Was Laid to Rest In Oconee Cemetery
Yesterday Afternoon.
The death angel visited another
Athens home Friday morning, and
the spirit of a sweet little girl was

and a half year old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Geo. Meadowcroft breathed her
last yesterday morning at 4 o’clock.

HE WILL NOT HANG.
That 19 the Way It Looks Now.
Will Johnson, the condemned Clarke
county murderer will hardly expiate
his crime upon the gallows.
At least that is the way all indica
tions point now. Tbe new trial asked
for will be passed upon in a few days
at Lawrenceville.
Meanwhile a very strong petition has
been gotten up asking Gov. Norther,
to commute the sentence
to life imprisonment
and Judge Hutchins, who presided
over the case, will write the Governor
asking that the sentence be reduced to
life imprisonment. Solictor General
Russell has taken nostrp in this mat
ter, but it is rumored that he will also
ask this.
Thus he stands a good chance of go
ing up for life.

He Struck One Blow and the Victim
Died.
The Big Creek correspondent of the
Oconee Enterprise writes:
“A thing name Third party died very
suddenly near here Saturday night. An
inquest was held over the corpse which
found that it came to its death by a
weapon called Democracy in the hands
of Col. John D. Mell, cf Athens. Jack-

BICYCLE AND HORSE COLLIDE.
A Narrow Escape Yesterday After
noon.
Ycsterdey afternoon there came very
near beirg a serious accident on Han
cock avenue.
Mr. John Welch was riding a bicycle
and was coming toward the ceutre cf
the city along Hancock avenue. He had
no brakes on the wheel and when be
crossed Hull street was going at a high
rate of speed.
He saw a buggy in front with a lady
and two children in it but could not
check his speed. The bicycle and
rider went right on against tbe horse.
The borse became frightened and
ran, but was caught by severel gentle
men standing near by. The horse and
t> u Kgy belonged to the family of the
late Dr Steedley.
The bicycle was torn to pieces and
Mr. Welch was kicked on the thigh by
the horse and was severely bruised.

speak8 aa follows;
We bear that some good for nothing
sneaks of tbe Third party slipped in
here and hired some leading negroes to
advocate the Third party among their
race and to array tbe negro against his
employer. It would be well for the
scoundrel to forever keep clear of this
county, and be sure to take the hemp-
rope rout to eternity. Man with An
glo Saxon blood coming through your
veins, can you support a party that
would perpetrate such a cowardly
deed.
The Democrats of Jackson county
are not satisfied with one big county
rally, so they are now busy working up
another. They are preparing to bold
another rally at Jefferson. The time

appearances now the Democracy of

rush.
MORMON COLONY IN MEXICO.
• A Tract or 100,000 Acres Near Cliihua
liua Secured for Settlement.
El Paso, Tex., May 27.—Elder An
drew J. Stewart of the Mormon church
is in the city from Mexico, where he
has just secured from the Mexican gov
ernment the concession of 100,000 acre,
of land, ninety miles southeast of Chi
huahua, upon which Elder Stewari
agrees to locate 500 Mormon families
Mr. Stewart said; "We are going U
Mexico to make permanent home3 foi
ourselves. The land I have securec
will be divided into little farms and
every family will have a home and will
set out orchards, vineyards, etc., and we
will have factories, too. It will be a
self-sustaining community, as fine stock
can be raised in Mexico as anywhere,
and we will make a specialty of im
proved stock. El Paso will be our mar
ket. We will sell onr produce and bny
our snpplie: in El Paso until we can
raise all we need. ” On the subject of
polygamy the elder said:
"It is a principle of the past. It is
not in existence now. as the laws of the
Mormon chnrch reqnire all its members
to live in obedience to the laws of the
country they may live in. Therefore
President Wilford Woodruff of the Mor
mon churches, issued a manifesto pro
hibiting polygamy, and it was sustained
by a vote of the whole people in confer
ence assembled. It is not allowed to be
taught in the church. The doctrine of
the Mormons is to not interfere with
anybody’s religion, that everybody could
worship God according to the dictates
of his own conscience, and as citizens
there was uo question about his religion,
only every man would have to be amen
able to the laws of his country. ”

ALABAMA POLITICS
BAILIFFS BULLDOZED.
Kolb Calls on His Adherents to Assttm-
semble in Montgomery on June 7.
Birmingham, May 26.—Captain Kolb,
ti e Alliance candidate for governor, baa
issued a circular letter to tha Kolb peo
ple of the state, urging that aU dele
gates, and as many friend* as possitoa,
be present in Montgomery on the 7th of
June, the day before the meeting of the
convention on the 8th. The People’s
party apostles will be there, and it ia
now believed that the conglomeration
against Jones, who has already received
more than enough votes to nominate
him, will join hands with the Republi
cans, Independents, sore heads, third
party, etc., to elect Kolb. The plan to
nominate Kolb for commissioner con
tinues to revolve, but Governor Jones
cannot see that there will be any great
danger fn utterly disregarding the Kolb
Alliance faction. There will be more
people in Montgomery to atteud the
convention than ever * assembled there
before on a like occasion.
North Carolina's Negro Schools*
Raleigh, May 26.—The trustees of

I The next meeting of the trustees will
| be at Greensboro, where the agricnltu-
i ral college is located, and they will then

Tli© Prosbyterinu General Assembly*
Hot Springs, Ark., May 20.—The

proved the report made by the executive
committee with reference to the legacy
of |50,000 left by W. A. Moore, ml At

The Oglethorpe Echo says that that
county is solid so far as Democracy is
concerned. This Is good news,and soon
the whole state will be in tbe same fix.
The proposition of Hon. Fred Foster,
of Madison, that Georgia’s delegation
should go to Chicago in full dress suits,
does not seem to be meeting with much
approval. The fat delegates object,and
so do tbe lean ones, ard tbe probability
is that all will go attired just as they
usually are at borne. This will, after
all, be the best way, as Democracy is
not wedded much to fa»hidn. It is tbe
plain party of the common people.
