Lost Papers.
Judge G. I. Lasseter has been
Justice of the Peace for the Vien
na district for more than twenty-
years and did something last
Wednesday that he had done
hundreds of times before, but it
turned out differently this time.
He came in to town on business
and tied his horse to the rack be
hind Calhoun <fe Kelly’s store,
leaving his court papers and dock
ets lying in the foot of his buggy,
just as he has done time and time
again before. But when he hitched
up to go home his books and pa
pers were not to be found, nor has
he found any trace of them since.
Who could have take them out, or
when they could have done so with
out being seen can not be even
imagined.
The papers could be established
if the Judge had his dockets, of if
he had the papers he could make a
new docket, but both papers and
dockets being gone he is at a loss
to know how to proceed to hold
court.
Birthday Dinner.,
A large family connection and a
few invited friends formed -a hap
py group at the hospitable tome
of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Heard on
Sunday- last. The occasion was
the celebration of the 21st birth
day- of their eldest child. Mr. Oscar
M. Heard.
Conversation, wit, humor and
music were indulged until the an
nouncement was made that dinner
was ready. The large party filed
into the spacious dining room and
sat down to a royal feast. Mr. J.
P. Heard then arose and very feel
ingly- expressed his gratification
at having a number of his rela
tives and friends with him on this
occasion. Addressing himself to
his boy he bade godspeed and suc
cess in life and presented him with
one thousand dollars in gold, that
nobody j was piled in a large dish in the

begin life.
The 6on arose aud expressed his
deep gratefulness for the mand
deprivations, inconveniences any
much trouble and care his parents
had experienced for his happiness
and welfare and assured them that
took a wegon along to bring the
fish back in and say they had fish
for 6upper but none of their friend
know this to be a fact.
An amusing little incident oc
curred in the county court
Wednesday. M. .Arnett, a young
white man had been found guilty
of running a blind tiger. Before
senteneed.was passed upon him
his attorney, Col. E. F. Strozier of
Cordele, desired to put in a plea
for a light sentence. Turning to
the young man he asked him if he
had anyone depending upon him
for a support? After thinking a
little he said:
“Yes, sir. I have a brother-in-
law.”

COUNTY COURT.
Last Wednesday’s session of
county coui’t was a busy and in
teresting one. Eight criminal
cases were disposed of and many
civil cases heard. As much or
more business was done as the Su
perior court could have possibly
transacted and at a great deal less
expense. Judge Whipple and So
licitor Thomson a-e determined to
not only put through the.new busi
ness rapidly but they arc trying
and disposing of many of the old
cases that have been hanging fire
for several years in the Superior
court.
Judge Whipple is winning for
himself many compliments for the
ease and ability with which be pre
sides and for hie prompt and cor
rect rulings. Already it is being
hinted that lie will grace a Supe
rior court bench before many
months, and the Progress says
that it would be nothing but
right.
MIDWAY ITEMS.
A good number of the young
people of Midway will be seen in
Sumter the 13th.
Mr. Samuel Liggon and Ben
Bryan visited relatives in and
about Coney last Satuiday, and
on their return brought the sad
news of the death of Mrs. John
Clegg, a 6ister of Mrs. T. T. Mor

Miss Belle Forehand of our
school is going to take a school 3

Mr. Alonzo Sumerford had a
battle with a large snake that was
in his dining room, but the snake
got away.
Emma Owen one of our schol-
lars while reciting her lesson faint
ed and fell to the floor last Friday-
morning, but she is improving
now.
The Midway scholars had a
May party last Friday night, and
enjoyed themselves very much.
School Girl.
About the first of May some of
our young folks conceived the idea
of having a tacky wedding in or
der to break the monotonous trend
of amusement in our quiet little
town, acting upon which decision
they immediately met and arrang
ed a programme and sent out in
vitations for the wedding at the
hotel on Friday evening. Consid
erable preparations were made and
as a compensation for which every
one seemed to enjoy it very much
The couples were as follows:
Bride, Miss Nona Duncan.
Groom, Mr. R. L. Wilson. The
attendants were; Mr. R. H. Pate.
Jr. with Miss M. L. Griffith; Mr.
J. W. Peacock with Miss Lizzie
Morgan; Mr. Jack Bridges, wit!)
Miss Jennie Barlow; Mr. C. C.
Duncan, with Miss Zeph Pate;
Dr. W. E. Beacham, with Miss
Lena Bridges; Mr. A. C. Brown,
with Miss Eunice Guthrie.
The costumes were varied and
indeed tackyish.
The groom was dressed in Prince
Albert, light stripe pants, whitt
vest with capacity for three of his
calibre, white gloves and red neck
tie. The bride was in white, with
sweeping train about six feet, over
which as a wedding veil attached
to her head was a lace window
curtain which flowed gracefully?
over that long train of hers, with
a profusion of jewelry that was the
product of some large brass foun
dry.
The males of the attendants
mere equally as comically dressed
as ihe bride and groom, had one
not understanding the whole affair
seen them, they would undoubted
ly have thought that kinckerboek-
ers and white stockings were the
prevailing styles, each man had
red neckties, red bandannas and
everything else it seemed that lent
ludicrousness to their appearance.
The female attendants with their
“tucking” combs, elaborate? ear
“bobs” brass finger rings and
styles of dress generally that
beggars description.
The ceremony was performed by-
Mr. W. D. Wilson in an impressive
and significant style that caused
considerable laughter.
Invited visitors were dressed in
tacky style also.
Immediately after the ceremony
the participants were invited to the
diningjroomjwliere a sumptuous re
past was served, presided over by
Mrs. Johnson, Miss Ella Bridges
et. al. The evening was very
pleasantly spent and every one
said they’ had all the amusement
possible.
The young people extended their
thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Johnson
for their kindness.

Four States In One Day.
The Macon papers state that
the Georgia Business College of
that city, placed in good positions
as stenographers,one day last week,
four young lady graduates, repre
senting the four states of Missis
sippi, South Carolina, Tenneisee.
and Georgia, three of whom had
been studying shorthand but two
months, having entered since Jan
1st.
Six to eight months is the time
usually required for the completion
of Book-keeping, Shorthand or
Telegraphy, in the Text Book Col
leges of the country; but by the
methods of practical and individ
ual instruction, pursued in this
institution, full scope is given the
the energies and talents of every
student; and they receive their
just reward in his graduation and
location in a good position within
a few weeks.
From all reports, this college is
certainly proving a blessing to the
youth of the south, not only by
giving them a thorough business
training, but securing good posi
tion for them immediately.

The most generally interesting among
the recent discoveries in Egypt ivas the
finding of the Pharaohs, in 1881. The
story 1ms hern given f-o the world in
print, therefore it wii! be only outline'*
here. But by far the most- fortunate
way is to hear it directly from the lips*
of the keeper of the museum. Emil
Brugseh himself, bis vivid, briefly di
rect narration adding the last eliarm
"n the striking facts. By the museum
Authorities it had be&n for several years
fllspeeted that some one at Liiiof
(Thebes) had discovered a hitherto un
opened tomb; ter funeral statuettes,
papyri and other objects, all of itn-
portgnee, were eft-red lor sale there,
one by one, and bought by travelers,
who, upon they return to Cairo, dis
played the treasures without compre
hending their value.
Watch was kept, and suspicion finally
centered uj>on a family of brothers;
these Arabs at last confessed, and one
of them led the way to a place not far
from the temple raised Deir-el-Bahari,
which all visitors to Thebes will re
member. Here, filled with sand, there
was a shaft not unlike it well, which
the man had discovered by clnmce.
When the sand was removed the open
ing of a lateral tumirl was visible be-
iow, and this tunnel led. intc the heart
of the hill, where, in a rude chamber
twenty feet high, were piled thirty or
more mummy cases, most of them
decorated with the royal asp.
The mummies proved to be those of
Sethi I, the conqueror who carried Iris
armies as far into Asia as the Orontes;
and of Raineses the Great (called 8e-
sostris by the Greeks) the Pharaoh who
oppressed the Israelites; and of Sethi
II, the Pharaoh of the Exodus, to
gether with other sovereigns and mem
bers of their families, princes, prin
cesses and priests. At some unknown
period these mummies had been taken
from the magnificent rock tombs in
that terrible Apocalyptic valley of
the kings, not far distant, anil hidde*
hi this rough chamber. No on? knows
why this was done; a record of it may-
yet be discovered. But in time ell
knowledge of the hiding place was lost-,
and here the Pharaohs remained untif
that July day in 1881.
They were ali transported across the
burning plain and down the Nile to
Cairo. Now at last they repose in state
in an apartment which might well be-
called a throne room. You reach this
great cruciform liall by a handsome'
double stairway. Upon entering, you
fee the Pharaohs ranged in a inajestio
circle, and careless though you may be,
unhistorical, practical, you are im
pressed. The features are distinct..
Some of the dark faces have dignity;
others show marked resolution and
power. Curiously enough, one of them
resembles Voltaire. This, however, is
probably due to (he fact that Voltaire-
eloselv resembled a mummy while liv
big. How would it seem, the thought
that beings who arc t" w,me into exist
ence A. D. 5000 should be able, in the
hind which wc now call the United
States of America (what will it be called
then?), to gaze upon the features of
some of our presidents—for instance,
George Washington and Abraham Lin-
soln?
I am afraid that the fancy is not as
striking as it should lie, for New World
ambition grasps without difficulty all
futures, even A. D. 25000. It is only
when our eyes are turned toward the
past, where we have no importance
and represent nothing, that an enu
meration of centuries overpowers us a
little. But in any case, after visiting
Egypt, wo all learn to hate the art of
the embalmer. Those who have been
up the Nile, and beheld the poor relics
of mortality offered for sale on the
shores, become, as it were, by force
advocates of cremation.—Constance
Feniinore Woolson in Harper's.
