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 knew about but themselves. They center of the table, with which to 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.” If you need Drugs, Medicines, Chemicals, Tobacco, Cigars, Soda, Dyes, Combs, Brushes, Fishing Tackle, Soaps, Perfumery, Kero sene Oil, Paper, Pens, Ink, or any thing usually kept in a first-cla6s Drug Store, it will pay you to call at the Everett Corner before you buy.

Mr. Duncan is one of the best hot'l men in the state and Viennians will welcome himself and family back among us with great cordialty. PINEHURST DOTS.

A party of our young people picniced at the Double Caves last Saturday and report a nice time. The party was composed of the following couples: J. J.

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 gan. Miss Belle Forehand of our school is going to take a school 3 miles south-east of Cordele. We are sorry to l iose her but we wish her success 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.

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. Send Your Job * Work to the Prog- Huw tli© To»ib o KtgjVt IV 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.
