Ono of the most energetic orders in tho State is the Independent Order of Good Templars. And the Grand Lodge of this order l, :l . j,ot finished 3 busy session at the beautiful little town of Buford, in Gwinnett county. It had been the intention of the Grand l odge to meet in Cedartown but at the lust moment it was notified that an other place would have to be selected. The Star of Buford Lodge gave a very cordial invitation to the Grand Lodge to meet at Buford, which was accepted, and a most royal entertainment to the delegates was certainly given. The Lodge met Tuesday morning with forty present. Rev. H. A. Hod ges, of Macon, the Grand Worthy Chief Templar, was absent and the Lodge was called to order by Grand Counsellor T. W. Reed, of Athens. Grand Secretary J. G. Throw er, Grand Vice Templar MisS Decie Ol iver, Past Grand Chief Templar M. J. ( ofer, Supt Juyenile Temples, J. J Keith, and Grand Messenger Frank Quillian were present. As delegates and members of Evans Lodge ^o. 76, of Athens, there were present Messrs. D.C. Oliver, J. K.Ken- ney, H. L. Cook, W. I. Abney, T. W J teed and Misses Decie Oliver and Ber ta Webb. Tuesday morning was devoted to the receiving of reports and Tuesday after- noon to the reports from the different lodges throughout the State. Tim report of the Grand Secretary showed that many of the lodges were in splendid condition while others had not done so well in the past year consider ing the dilliculties under which it la bored. The report of the committee on the State of the order was adopted, and it was resolved to put a lecturer in the field at the earliest date possible to or ganize new lodges. The different mem bers present pledged themselves to the organization of ten new lodges during the coming year. It was resolved to make an extra ef- lort towards the establishment of Juye rule Temples that tbechildren might be trained up in temperance. Tuesday night the star of Buford Lodge tendered the Grand Lodgea pub lic reception at which a large number ofeitizens were present. R. H. Allen’s cornet band furnished delightful music for the occasion. liev. W. A. Farris, of Buford presid ed during the exercises, which were opened with prayer by Rev. W. J Wooten. lion. John O. James, Mayor of Bu ford delivered an address of welcome in behalf of the citizens, which was re sponded to by Mr. T. W. Reed. Pro fessor Lament Gordon extended the hearty welcome of the Star of Buford Lodge which was responded to by Rev M. J. Gofer in an appropriate manner. Miss Helen Cowan, of Buford, recited a beautiful piece on temperance after which the meeting was closed. Thie reception was very highly enjoyed by all present. Wednesday morning the first order of business was the election of officers which resulted as follows: Grand Worthy Chief Templar, T. W Keed; Grand Worthy Vice Templar, Miss Annie Smith: Grand Secretary, J. G. Thrower; Grand Chaplain, M. J. Cofer; Grand Supt. Juvenile Temples, J. J. Keith ;Grand Treasurer, C. Bangs; Grand Marshal, J. T. Smith; Grand Ass’t. Secretary, J. K. Kenney; Grand Guard, R. M. Wilson, Grand Sentinel, G. S. Hunt; Grand Deputy Marshal, Miss Helen Cowan; Grand Messenger, J.T. Carithere. The invitation of the Demorest Lodge for the Grand Lodge to meet in Dernor- cst next year was accepted, and the time of meeting of thr G.and Lodge willherealter be the third Tuesday in J uly instead of the fourth Tuesday as it has been heretofore. The Lodge then adjourned to the school room where the pnblic meeting w as held. It was largely attended and highly enjoyed. Rev. \Y. A. Farris opened the meet ing with prayer. Rev. M. A. Matthews, of Calhoun, was to have been present to make an address but was prevented by the death of Mr. John W. Fain, one of his church members Rev. John B. Hawthorne, cf Atlanta, was present and was introduced to the audience as the orator of the day. Dr Hawthorne delivered an address of an hour and a quarter, full of sound logic and reasoning in behalf of temperance aud prohibition. The large audience paid str.ct attention to the remarks of Dr. Hawthorne, at times applauding vigorously, it was a powerful speech and did much good. Grand Secretfry Thrower'made a few remarks after which Mr. T. W. Reed a^ain thanked the oitizensof Buford for their magnificent reception and splen did hospita’ity. Wednesday afternoon was occupied with a rounding up of all the business of the Lodge and the in- atallation of officers. hry Pond Lod e, of Jaokson county, was adjudged by the Grand Lodge to have made more progress during the year than any other L idge in Georgia. x his was a splendid eompliment to this J'-dge. \:v : meet in Demcrest the third Tuesday in July. 1893. Wednesday night the delegates were entertained by the Star of Buford Lodge with a supper and ice cream festival which was elegint beyond de scription, aid which was highly appre ciated and enjoyed. The Star of Buford Lodge is one of the Btronge&t in the state, and bad a great influence in helping to carry Gwinnett county fur prohibition a short while since. It is still progressing and prospering. m No people could have entertained noro hospitably or more elegantly, and t is safe to say that the Grand Lodge will never forget its meeting at Bu-' ford. The Good Templars are in for the warfare and are determinal to push their work this year and go to the next Grand Lodge meeting with at least a doubled membership of devoted work ers in the cause of temperance. BBS A-lflSgaa ifite'HAtA ruckIr RECEIVER. * ■ ■ THE MACON AND NORTHERN IN THE USUAL ROAD. ATHENS GETS THE RECEIVER Inability to Meet its Ob’igations-Blll Filed Last Night—The M. and N, Will Now be Well Managed. RANDOM THOUGHTS. News Items, General Local and Oode And Ends, The Clarkesville Advertiser states that there is a great deal of bad feeling existing among the people of that place; caused by the discussion of local politics. Politics is somo.hing that must be discussed with glo /es on A man will lose bis temper in the discus sion of religious differences or politics mere easily than on any other subject. The writer remembers a case that happened a few days ago in Athens. Some good Methodist and Baptist breth ren were conversing when the subject of the difference in the doctrines of their churches came up for considera tion. They all wanted, at this stage of the conversation, all differences done away with and all to work in harmony together. One did not exactly like close communion—another did not see how sprinkling was Baptism, and in few moments there was fa ;t and loud talking. The ending was a Baptist would be nothing but a B iptist and the Methodist nothing but a Methodist. We are all williDg to take, b it who will give? * Singing Convetions are being held in the country throughout the State. Those present enjoy good dinners and a feast of old-fashioned muBio. The man or woman who has never been to a sing ing convention, has missed a great deal. There is soon to be an Alumni Uni versity club formed in Macon. The News in commenting on this says it will be similar to the one in Savannah. The Alumni in Macon are brainy men, and men who love the old University, and they will work for It, too. It may be chat all the uncalled for attacks od thn grand institution will do much to buil it up. For a long while the friends ol the U Diversity have remained idle, bui sneers and insinuations ace about to ge them in working order. The horticulturists of Gecrgia will meet in Rome next wick. Extensive preparations have been made to enter tain them. Rome is not lacking in hos pitality and among other good things prepared is an old fashioned Georgia barbecue, for delegates and their wives Joe Pottle, of Milledgeville, is seek ing the nomination of tlie Third part) for Congress in the sixth district. Jor is a brainy young fellov, a graduate of the State University, and is genial and clever; but all these qualities ere no sufficient for him to overcome the iron- ribbed Democracy of that District. A petition has been put into circula tion in Macon asking M*j. Bacon to ru> for the Legislature. The Macon New says the Major will run and be elected, too. Major Bacon has heretofore don the State good service in the Legisla ture. The hot wave under which Athens i< now sweltering, is general throughou the country. While the heat is quit* severe in Athens, we hear of no pros trations or sunstrokes, such as are con stantly reported in all sections of the North and West. Mr. W. R. Singleton, a prominent citizen of Macon, died at his home in that city on Monday n : ght. Tom Watson’s convention in Augus ta re-nominated their favorite for Con gress. Watson is the idol of the Third party men, not only in the 10th distric' but all through the State, To hear a Third party man talk, you would think Tommy possessed the brilliancy of Toombs, the oratory of Hill and the popularity of Stephens. In the course of his New Haven, Conn., lecture, Rev* Thomas S. Dana in educated Indian, made this singular tatement: "The Indians never cook anything in the house. They always oook outside, giving as their only rea son that if they cook inside the steam will collect in their clothing and draw the lightning. Whether this is truth or not I do not know, but I know this —no Indian wigwam has been struck by lightning since the dawn of history,and no Indian has been killed with light ning for more than a hundred years.” The other day a little girl of J. 1 Courson, of Baxley .found a guinea neat near the house with several eggs in it. Much to her sui prise when she went to t a ifA the eggs from the nest she spied huge snake snugly ooiled in the nest She reported the case to her father,who went immediately and killed the reptile The fullness of the snake aroused the curiosity of Mr. Courson, and to aacer tian the cause, out the snake open, which cleaily revealed the fact that had swallowed twelve eggs from the nest, ard bad he not been molested, ho would have devoured them all near two dozen. The news reached the city yesterday norning that the Macon Sc Northern road had gone into the hands of a re ceiver. It was hinted at the night before,'’but every party likely to know anything about the matter was approached by the Banner man hut without success. It eemed that ev«>ry employee cf the road was sworn to secrecy. The report was confirmed about eleven o’clock yester day, and when it was known thatCapt. II Rucker had been appointed by Judge Newman to act as temporary re viver, every business man in Athens telt that the road was in the hands of one who knew his business and would aot fail to attend to it. Capt. Rucker stands at the head ot the business men < f our State. He has iccumulated a nice little fcrlune by close attention to business, and if there any[come out.in the road Capt. Ruck er will bring it out. AtS o’clock a bill asking for a receiv er for the Macon and Northern was filed in the Clerk’s office of Judge Newman’s ourt. Edward Van Navre, of New York, through his attorneys, Henry Cranford of Chic gj, and John C. Has kell, of Virginia, were the applicants named in the bill. Mr. Haskell appeared for the peti tioner and read the bill which in sub stance recites that the Macon atd Nor them Railroad Company is insolvent in be sense that it can- lot meet its obligations n a regular business course, and the ill alleged that already the July inter ist on the road’s debt had d-faulftd, and was further alleged that the road vliich is due August 1, and which in terest is payable to petitioner and oth ers. Judge Newman, on hearing the peti tion, appointed Jeptba H. Rucker of Vthens temporary receiver, and Set the rase for hearing on the appointment of permanent receiver for September 10th. The bonded indebtedness of the Macon and Northern railroad is $2,200,- IX)0, which falls due in March I960 When the road was leased by the Cen tral and Richmond and Danville, these roads guaranteed the payment of this nterest, but they, being in the bands >f a receiver, of course cannot carry rut the contracts. (The Macon and Northern railroad : ras been placid in the hands of a re ceive^ because, as all.g.d, it cannot pay its obligations in a regular busi ness course. It will likely develop lat er that it is a part of a plan to rehabili- ite the Richmond and Danville rail road without the Central. It is reason able to suppose that af>r the applica tion for a receiver for the Richmond and Danville by the Central, all rela tions between the two roads became too strained to admit of joint owner hip of any one property. As th.y vero joint guarantors on the bonds of be roads, and the Central is not ablt- ,o pay interest on its own securities, could bar Ay be expected to pay on any- iiiug else. With the Central and Rich nond and Danville divorced, the Ma on and Northern will become of still greater importance to the latter. The road is in splendid physical condition ind it is not likely to go into other lands than the Richmond and Droville. DEATH OF AN AGED MINISTER: Rev. W. C. Deavora, of Jackson Coun ty, Pa3ae3 Away After a Brief Illness. Rev. W.C. Deavora, who lived for sev eral years near Antioch church in Jack- ron county, died at his home after a^brief illness, on Tuesday hight. He was a brother of the late Rev. A. J. Deavors, for mang years a member of the North Georgia Conference. Mr. Deavora had been a minister in the Methodist church for about thirty- five years. He had no connection with tbe Conference, being a local minister, and confining his labors to the churches within the reach of his home. He was an ac- cep.uble preacher, and was much belov- • d by the people whom he served. Con secrated in heart and life ;o the cause of religion and the church, he devoted much of his time to preaching aud oth- r labors for the church he loved so well. He had gifts aud graces and was an eminently useful man, and preached acceptably and with power, althi ugh bis advantages had been limited. Many friends will learn with sorrow that this faithful old minister has passed away. The funeral took place at his former home on Wednesday afternoon. A BIG SWINDLE- THE WASHINGTON POST EXPOSES A SWINDLING SCHEME, HOW EX-CONFEDERATE Conscripts are Being Taken In—A Pro position to Collect Damages Out of the United States Govern ment for Being Forced Into the Service. JOHN W. FAIN DEAD. . Brilliant Young Lawyer F&sses Over the River. Mr. John W. Fain is dead. He was a well known aad popular young attor ney, and died at Rome Tuesday. He was well known in Athens, having graduated from the University in 188G After leaving the University he went to Rome, Ga , where he engaged in the mercantile business until a few months igo, when he was a imitted to the prac tice of the liw. He entered into part nership with Judge J. C.Fain, of Cal- loun, Ga., and began immediately to enjoy the returns of a lucrative and re- ponsible practice. A few weeks ago, with the heat of fe ver in his veins and his countenance pale from the loss of sleep, he stood up before the jury, in obedience to a sense >f duty, and delivered an exhaustive argument in favor of huclieut. It was ais last appearance before an earthly aourt and amid the congratulations of die bar he was carried to his home ex hausted, to sleep away the fatigue of his great effort. It proved, however, to be the sleep of deatb, and bis fevered imbs were rested in the calm repose of eternity. The remains were buried in Atlanta yesterday afternoon at 4 o’clock. DEATH OF MRS. MATHEWS. A Singular Circumstance Connected With Her Sickness and Death, On Friday of last week Mrs. Fannie Matthews, wife of Mr. Dau Mathews, lied at her home in Jackson county. Mrs. Mathews wa3 a daughter of Mr John Saye, and was a lady of many amiable traits of character, and leaves a husband and one little child and many frier ds to mourn her earlyy death. A singular circumstance is related of Mrs. Mathews. A few months ago she had a dress pls >~d in the hands of a la dy to be made up. She remarked that the dress-maker could take her time on the garment, as she would not need it till the middle of July. About two weeks ago she came to the city and car ried the dress home, was that day at tacked with fever, and died in two ^eeks, and the dress was used for the first time as a burial robe. A STORE BROKEN OPEN. Washington, July 27.— 1 The Post pub lishes the following: R A systematic attempt to swindle ex- Confederate soldiers has been unearthed in this city and the matter was brought to the attention of Geu. Raum, commis sioner of pensions, by E. G. Warring. The party who said to be at the head of the scheme is a man named Mason who figured here daring the forty-eighth and forty-ninth congresses as a sort of lob byist. 'Mason’s mpde of operation is said to be similar to the one attempted several years ago by other parties. He fcas printed circulars headed "To Ex-Con federate Conscripts” with which he has flooded many localities in the southern states. The circular declares that tiie United States bad a right to protect if loyal citizens in the south from con scription in the Confederate anny, and its failure to do so makes the govern ment liable for damages in each case where a man was so conscripted, or forced into the southern army. It further states that all an ex-con script has to do in order to receive dam ages, is to prove his loyalty, and that he was compelled to enter the army against his will. In this connection Mason cites a number of alleged decisions in the United States supreme court, deciding in effect that if the government coul 1 not protect its citizens in such an emer gency, it at least could pay any damage that might accrue from said lack of pro tection. " Mason wants to bring the matter before both congress and the supremo court, but in order to do so he must have funds. The circular therefore ap peals to the poor ex-Confederate to send him such amounts of money as they can spare, not less than .$1, to be used as fund for carrying out bis impracticable scheme. "Southerners in this city who havo heard of th<- movement are highly in dignant and unhesitatingly pronounce it an unmitigated fraud and it is more than probable that the matter will be investigated by the pension office of ficials. ” • A Sad Death. Jug Tavern, Ga., July 27.—(Special). —Mr. W. O. Felker, formerly of this community, but recently of Dodge county, died at Rhine Monday morning and his remains were brought here for burial. He was taken suddenly ill with disease of the kidneys, and a tele gram sent here last Friday to Mr. N. J. Kelly, who went immediately to his bedside, but reached him too late to be of any service ex :ept to bring his body on for burial The G., C. A N. train bearing the remains reached here after dark and was met by a large crowd of relatives and friends, who followed it to the cemetery and performed the last tribute by the light of la sterns under the star bedecked canopy of the herv- en«. The death of Mr. Felker was in deed a sad one. Only a few weeks ago he was here mingling with friends and seemed in perfect health. His bereaved wife and family of six children have our heartfelt sympathy. -•Mi V Used in Millions of Homes—>40 Years the Standard. CARNESVILL BRIEFLETS. Carnesville, July 27 —Hon. W. R.

An Old Gentleman Temporarily De ranged. Yesterday afternoon a sad sight was witnessed on Clayton street just oppo site the post office. An old gentleman was walking up aud down the street, jumping and wav ing his hands above his head. Investigation proved thal he was a Mr.Donnegan, who lives in Jackson county and that he was temporarily de ranged. Mr. Donnegan has for a long time been afflicted with catarrh and within the last few days has become in sane upon the doctrine of holiness. He imagines that be is sinless and ready to go to heaven, and goes around waving bis han Is above his head and making vain efforts to fly away from these mor tal scenes. Medical attention was rendered Mr. Donnegan and he was carried back to his home. It is hoped that this de rangement will only be temporary and that he may soon be restored to his right mind. The House Voted to Adjourn on the 30th. Washington, July 28.—Mr. McMillin of Tennessee, has offered and called up in the house a joint resolution that con gress adjourn Saturday, at 2 o’clock, Mr. Hatch has opposed it because he Wants the anti-options bill to pass, and Mr. Onthwaite, the leader of the filibus- terers, has also opposed it. Mr. Onth- waite said that the sundry civil bill had not passed, and intimated that it might not pass. In any event, time was need ed for both houses to act on it, and he suggested Monday next as the date of adjournment. The house refused vote of 65 to 110 to agree to the amendment, fixing the date of adjournment at 2 o’clock Monday next. The original McMillin resolntion providing for the final ad journment of congress at 2 p. m. Satur day, was then adopted by a vote of 121 to 51. The speaker stated the pending mo tion to be that made by Mr. Bingham to table the motion to reconsider the vote by which the house from its disa greement to the senate’s World’s Fair amendment. Immediately the filibusters came to the front led by Mr. Onthwaite, who moved adjournment nntil Saturday. Mr. Cummings of New York, moved an adjournment nntil Monday. Iu the senate, the sundry resolutions for the appointment of select commit tees to sit during recess, were appoint ed. Two of them, as to the Homestead and Idaho labor troubles, and as to set tlers on forest reservations in Califor nia, went over without action, and one, as to geological survey, was agreed to.

Yesterday’s Cliut .nooga Times con tained the following interesting, if true, story about a newspaper man will known in Rome: “W.Trox BankstoD, of Ringgold, Ga., well known in this city, where he was engaged for some time as a newspaper reporter, is missing, and although sever al causes have been put forward to ac count for his disappearance, it was learned^yesterday that there is a woman in the cise. Nome time ago, while on an excursion, it is alleged that Bankson met the wife of an Ohio newspaper man and fell in love with her. The sentiment was mutual, and it was eventually decided that the woman was to procure a divorce from her husband, ar d by so doing remove the only impediment to theii happiness. The woman carried out her part of the progam, stated the Times informant, aud was anxious for Bankston to fulfill his promise. This he did not appear to be very anxious to do, aud his dilatoriness in the matter had the effect of causing the woiaau to pack up, leave Ohio and present herself in Ringgold. Bankston met her upon her arrival, and after a heated argument, the purport of which is known only to the principals, the woman went to Ca toosa Spring, Trox promising to follow in a short time. "That he had no intention of doing so is evidenced by the fact that immediate ly after her departure for the springs. Bankston himself collected his effects and left for parts unknown-certain ly not for Catoosa. The news of his de parture having reached the v omm she repaired..to the residence of Bankston pere, and laid the matter before him as suring him in the most vehement man ner that hi? son was the authr of the be- ingjof the i nf ant at her breast.
