THE BANNER, FRIDAY MORNINfl, MARCH 87, 1808, FAD HAS PASSED Former Way of Advertising Cigar Stands Has Been Abandoned. By R. M. Cheshire. Washington, D.

The march of , jv ili/ation has tdrlven the wooden |niii .,i, before It just as the settle- ,, lt „f this continent has almost ex- miIiated his human counterpart.

It was the natural outgrowta of such an association that the image of an Indian should become the rec ognlzcd, outward and visible sign ol a tobacconist. The noble red man was' counterfeit C,1 ill many shapes and attitudes, but the favorite, perhaps, was the. hh prewive chieftain, armed and accou tered with all the pomp and circum stance of war.

Indeed, not a few of these war rinrs, are really very dignified, and commanding figures. One particular linage is cherished by Its owner as a line specimen of Its kind. It ha: stood before his store since 1S7G, wlieii it was purchased at the Centen nlaI Exhibition. This Indian was cast from metal, as are many ot the hnnd soim i ones, for the term wooden In dian is only to he accepted In a r«j|a live sense. Only the smallest and oldest spec linens were actually constructed ol Wood, metallic compositions, plaster ot Paris and other materials being used in those of later manufacture.

Indian queens, or Pocahontases, as mu please, are common, more so perhaps, than the chieftains. They are curiously attired, very often, tor Indian maidens—sometimes w^h s *ar spangled sklrta and occasionally wearing a liberty cap. Very frequent ly they resemble a sort of cross be- t u «*♦•!! one of Cooper’s soft-voiced heroines and the Goddess of Liber fy.

FORSAKEN BY SI YOUNG MAN SUICIDES Jim Smith Could Not Bear Unre' puited Love and Took His Life. FORMER ATLANTA BOY ' IN TEXAS ELOPEMENT Lieutenant in Army Weds Young Lady in San Antonio. San Antonio, Texas, March 24.— First Lieutenant Hunter Harris, of Atlanta, of the Ninth infantry ftt Fort Smu Houston, and Miss Lula Allen were the participants in a thrilling midnight automobile elop- ment, which culminated In their mar riage at the residence of Rev. Arthur G. Jones, this morning at 1 o’clock. Neither the sister of the groom nor the bride’s family were aware of the rriage, until this morning. Lieu tenant Harris met Ills bride two weeks ago,'and their marriage was leclded upon at 11 o’clock last uight, lotwitstanding that It was under stood Miss Allen was the promised bride of another. In company with some friends they Irove In a blinding rain storm to the •paid* nee of the county clerk and pre vailed upon him to Issue them a mar- iage license. Following this the par ty a.woke Rev. Mr. Jones, of the First Presbyterian church. Afterwards the bride and groom Ma( j den Toccoa, Ga., March 24.»-Brooding for a month over the fact that he had been refused by the girl he loved, Jim Smith, a farmer residing about six miles from Toccoa, committed suicide this morning. Some time ago Smith Is said to have paid his addresses to a young lady of Westminster, S. C. About a month ago he was made to under stand that the young lady could not marry him. Since that time he has been very de pondent, although he has attend ed well to his farm duties. This morning he went to the barn to feed the stock, and while on the way, met one of his brothers to whom he said:,'‘Take egre of your If, for you’ll never see me aagin.” No notice was paid to what he said. short time afterward another brother passed through the ham and found the body of Smith suspended from a beam by a wire. He had taken a wire from a bale of hay, fastened it to the beam above, se- d it about his neck and choked himself to death. When discovered he was not dead, tut died in a few minutes. His remains will be taken Banks county for burial. He was about years old. Conductor Shank Meets Death* at Hands of a Drunken Passenger . at Calhoun Falls. DR. JONES STILL HOLDING POSITION.

Frye, nam ed by Hlshop I.uther 11. Wilson, as presiding officer of the New Jersey conference, to be pastor, to take the charge. The sextnn-jHdlceninn says he will arrest Dr. Frye If it becomes neces- ary, as the congregation has refas- d to accept his as Its pastor in the place of Rev. Dr. Charles Jones, the Georgia preacher whom Bishop Wil son and tho conference refuse to rec ognize. Unless a conference is olfectod within the next few days the First church may becomo Independent of the conference. The members have already notified Dr. Frye that they do not desire his services. At the service Sunday morning the congre gation was the largest In the history ot the edifice. ✓ Permits of all denominations heard tho eloquent Southerner, and after the service Dr, Jones was surrounded by hundreds who pledged their sup port to aid him In keeping his con tract to serve as pastor for one yaer.

It Is declared that the only compro mise I»sslble is that the conference allow the Southern pastor to supply the church until his contract explris and appoint Dr. Frye to a charge In Eastern Pennsylvania. It Is believed by many that Bishop Wilson will come to Trenton personally to take charge and later Install Dr. Frye as pastor of the First church. In this case, Is is said, the bishop might be allowed to enter the ohuroh, but he would hove to preach to emp ty pews. On the other hand, If the bishop should appoint Jones pastor this would cause great Indignation among other Trenton preachers, as they say he Is a member of the South erti church and has not been prop erly transferred. Dr. Jones Is as resolute In his stand Capt. R .A .Saye returned yester day from Abbeville, S. C., where he went as a witness In a damage suit, and while at Calhoun Falls, he learn ed of a brutal murder that had been committed just before the arrival of his train there. It seems that a man was on the Charleston & Western Carolina train coming to Calhoun Falls where he liv ed, and that he was In a drunken condition. Conductor Shank, who was In charge of the train, made him pay his fare, and it greatly angered him, so innrli so that he told the conductor he would get even with him when he got to Calhoun Falls. Just as the train drew up at the de pot in that place this drunken man stepped In front of the conductor and placing Ills pistol against his heart pulled the trigger. The conductor fell in his tracks and was dead In a mo ment. The drunken criminal was quickly seized and taken In charge by offi cials .who hurried him on to Abbe ville and placed him in jfiil. The murder created a great, deal of ex citement and there might have been Double hut for the counsel of cooler heeds, WAS A WITNESS IN DAMAGE CASE Capt. R. B.

Pittsburg, Pa.., March 24— Datvhl l.ennix, a big cross-eyed policeman, decided to have some fun In his own way. He assembled n dozen hard looking eases In tho street and chas ed them into a saloon. Ordereng them up In front of tile bar, he made a speech, ns follows: Capt. R.

McGhee was one of the crowd of Carolinians who were arrested in this city some time since for having been drunk and disorderly on an excursion train on the Seaboard. The men were taken off the train at this place at the Instance of the Seaboard author (ties and the charge was made In mayor’s court of drunk and disorder ly. They were fined next morning by Mayor Dorsey for their conduct. Later on several damage suits were filed against the Seaboard In Caro lina courts and this case that was tried yesterday was one that arose out of this Incident. McGhee Is suing the road for ten thousand dollars damages, and this In the second trial of the case, the first having resulted In a mistrial.

Prince Helle de Sagan today is registered as Ber trand de Frnln, of Paris, at the Belle- vue-Stratford Hotel In Philadelphia, Georgia Mayfield, colored, who lives on Willow street, had Wilson Wymbs, colored, arrested for disor derly conduct, and on the trial of the case yesterday It appeared from her evidence that Wymbs bad started up on her porch and she had ordered him hack, that he cursed her and she threatened to strike him over the head with a poker. Some witnesses testified that Wymbs was a harmless fellow who was always (leasing people and. meant no harm by what he did. Wymbs took the stand In his own behalf and declared that he had not cursed, that he belonged up yonder and didn't believe In cursing. As he made this statement he struck a sol emn pose and pointed his finger up ward. Georgia's lips curled In derision, and she was put on the stand again; she declared that some people were always talking about up yonder, but tbat she didn't believe anything they said. Mayor Dorsey dismissed the case, but warned Wymbs lo quit teasing end going on other 'people's porches. He tol(J ^e negro woman to get an ax and use it on Wymbs If he wife of Count Bonl de Castellano, Is In New York, pleading with the mem hers of her family for consent for her new matrimonial venture. That some ground has been gained Is probable from the apparently au thoritative statement from friends of the Gould fbinily that Miss Helen Gould has become reconciled to the Idea of the match. But there is still the consent of George Gould to be won, and as he Is the principal custo dian of the millions now lost to Count Boni, that consent is essential . Trying to Placate Gould. One of the efforts to placate Mr. Goulil Is sa!d„to have occurred yester day when at,the home of Miss Helen while Madame Anna Ghuld, former * ame around there any more, which 1 don't think you fellows ever had Gould, her brother and the would-be- ill the whiskey you wanted In all Princess Anna met.

Youse can drink all you can hold; the fellow that don't drink ten whiskies, two gins and one beer gets licked and arrested besides. I pay for everything.” Valiantly the gang tried to drink the whiskey. Harry Thompson was the first to drop In his tracks. He dropped like a log on Ills ninth glass and died In the patrol wagon. Four others fell and are In Jail with phy sicians trying to bring them to.

Indeed, I may say that I am worn out, over the struggle to keep you going." "Too bad about you, papa,’ said Daisy. “But, no. It’s not all.

Smith £ Bro., L. P. Clsnnlng, E. C. MoEvoy, Orr Drug Co., Athens, Ga, CONCERNING MIDDLE AGE. From the Independent. The Atlantic Monthly lately His coursed on Middle Age, with Its usual pithiness. When Is a person middle- aged, or possibly when ought any one lo be at about the middle ot life? Growing old has wonderfully changed since we were boys. Then the old men were doubled up at 50, and Aunt Betay at 30 was an "old maid.” There arc still broken-down farmers, but they are such at SO years old; and a woman Is a girl till 40, and quite marriageable at that ago. The novel writers understand this, and are mnk lng their heroes and- heroines out of riper timber. Where tho clrcum stances Ore tolerably favorr.tfle wc are able to k«ep our hoys “only boys" up to 20, and the girls nre girls un til 25. We acknowledge that these conditions do not exist in the crowd ed cities, but that they do exlBl In the country Is the pregnant fact Go lng back to nature means, under pres ent conditions, a lengthening out oi all the periods of life. If boyhood ean be protracted to 20 under the new conditions, middle age ought to be set down, we think, at something a little short of GO. Docs this astonish the reader? Let him take note of the middle-aged people whom he knows, and be will find tbat many of them ara Absolutely In the full possession of every faculty at the age we have named. A few of the professions, or callings, wear as bad ly as ever—a few are even harsher tihaa formerly. The mlnistty Is a good example; but then the ministry has been the least of all occupations adjusted to tho times . Salaries art- even-uveruglng lower than forty ago. The rivalry of half a ozen sects In every little village puts the parsons to their paces In a furious competition. The mjnlster preaches fully as often as In the days of Edwards and Norton, and he docs It in the face ot an astounding devel oped literature, which bis predeces sors klld not have to meet. Trade competition pushes business men forward into a maelstrom where the struggle sucks down the many and Bends the few floating off as million alres. Here It Is that "heart failure’ comes In, and the competitors drop In their tracks, knowing nothing of either old age or middlo age. We imagine any one to be middle- aged when he has flexible Joints and muscles—when his whole physical frame works with about the same simplicity and regularity us it did at 20; and when his Intellectual forces can be marshaled with pleas ure and promptness. If the world talks to us at 60 as It talks to us at 30, and we do not catch ourselves sighing for the past, we may fairly set It down tbat we are middle-aged. The advent ot middle age might be set down as, say, 40 years. If boy hood comes up to 20, youth can easi ly be extended to 36 or 40. Middle age may then subtly take possession and extend from 40 until 80.
