STEGALL’S SALE.
A Fen Loti. Sjlil .t Its ttling Cool
Figo e<*. •
AH those enterprising citizens who wept
to Stegall's on Tuesday, with the idea of
casting an anchor to windward by buy
ing a cheap lot in the Birmingham of the
future, were greviously disappointed.
There were no cheap lots, and t nose wno
invested in Stegall's realty on the 31st,
had to put up a very handsome consider
ation, considering. The embyro town is
handsomely laid off with streets, alleys,
£e., an abundance of chok e corner lots,
and a park donated by one of the enter
prising founders of this coming metro
polis, whose name shall go sounding down
the corridor of time, &c. It seems to a
bystander that considering the amount
of surrounding spare, the town lots
might have been given a little more
frontage or deepage, but the city’s fathers
probably understand their business, and
do uot vvant one citizen to monopoise too
much of the city. About 150 persons
were present at the sale, some genuine
investors, some scali>ers, and several
who came to see just how a town is start
ed and partake of the barbecue and eider
—the latter by the way seemed to be from
a perpetual fount and flowed in streams
to the delight of a few. There was a
general air of expectancy on the crowd
about the time the Chattanooga train
was due, and when it rolled by in hot
haste, stopped not, nor heeded the ex
pectant crowd, disgorged no eager
capitalist* with money in their pockets
and expectation in their eyes, but just
simply, as old man Bishop said “tooted
along,'’ we all felt bad, very bad, and
looked at C. M. Jones with commisera
tion. He however, bravely hid the fox
that was gnawning him and said “let
her roll.”
Mr. Wilson the auctioneer came forward
and after calling the crowd together
made them a little speech hh to the merits
of town lots sold by him in general, and
those of Stegall’s in particular and paid
a glowing tribute to the infant city’s
future greatness, and offered the first lot,
size 70x95 f<*et, number two of the plat,
situated on Curtersville street, one door
from Church street. It seemed hard to
start the sale and for a weary while, no
man had the courage of his opinion—
may be he had no opinion—but finally
A. M. Eoute threw himself in the breach
and started her at $lO. That broke the
iee and in a few moments the lot was sold
at $l3O to Mr. Collins of Atlanta. After
that the fuu grew fast and furious. R.
M. Patillo and Juo. T. Norris joined in
the struggle for place; lot after lot was
sold at the rate of S3OO per acre. C. M.
Jones and Jno. Stegall were wreathed in
smiles and Wilson was contented. After
selling 12 lots a halt was called, and all
were invited to the barbecue and cider
keg where Jim. Jolly presided in all his
glory and shirt sleeves, and for hulf-uu
hour the hungry crowd exerted itseif to
dispose of a full supply of beef, mutton,
l>ork, bread, etc. After dinner a heavy
cloud threatened, the wire edge seemed to
be worn off the gathered capitalists, and
after consultation among the infant city's
nearest relatives and their lieutenant,
the announcement was made that the
sale of the remaining lots was indefinitely
postponed. A heavy cloud was gathering
m the north-west, there was mounting in
hot haste, the street cars were loaded,
the last drinks of cider stole lingeringly
down the throat* of thirsty and regretful
ilepartants. Dennis Yandivere hove a
sigh for a fair one left behind and the
long looked for sale at Stegall’s was
over.
TURNED ON TENNESSEE.
The Prohibition Guns Pointed in
That Direction.
Tennessee is just now in the toils of a
prohibition campaign, which promises to
be a heavy anil long fight. The last
legislature ordered an election over the
entire state for next September, and the
prohibitionists are just now priming
their guns for the fray. The campaign
aggressively speaking, commenced last
night’ in Chattanooga. Rev. Sam.
Jones firing a heavy .volley into the
camps of the enemy. Rev. G. C. Rankin,
of Chattanooga, came down after Mr.
Jones Tuesday afternoon and both went
up yesterday morning. While here Mr.
Rankin talked with several, among them
a Coukant-Ameiiican reporter, and gave
it as his opinion that there was a good
showing to carry Tennessee for prohibi
tion, although it will require every effort
to bring about such a result. Ho depeuu
ed largely upon the people of the country
to carry the election for prohibition and
would be contented if the cause should
hold its own in such large towns as
Memphis, Nashville and Chattanooga.
Mr. Rankin said that, the campaign
would now bo opened up in earnest, open
ed up in such a manner as to hear from
the enemy. It was the intention, he
said, of the whisky men to allay agitation.
Agitation is what the prohibition folks
wanted, they know that this will bring
converts into the cause. The whisky
men of the state will spend considerable
money, an abundance of which they
have.
Rev. Sam. Jones will make five speeches
in the state before returning home, and
it is thought that they will do a power o f
good. Verbatim reports of them will be
published throughout the state and will
lie used as campaign documents.
The present election will be held on the
basis of the last state election, that is,
only the total number of votes cast at
that election will be counted at the elec
tion next September. i lie vote was in
the neighborhood of 228,000 and it is
necessary for the prohibitionists to jaill
at least over half of that to carry the
election in September.

baking powders on the market. It will
lie seen that the Royal Baking Powder
stands at the head. It is jierfect and is

ian church have been generally commend
ed by all who heard them for the strength,
beauty and simplicity which characterized
them. They were as luminous as any
sermon heard in Jacksonville during the

most promising young mini stem of his
denomination.

THE FIENDISH ‘FLAMES.
Herbert and Charlie Milam's
I>inu,ii ur in S.uot e.
For the firs* time in several years Car
vels vide experienced a fire Saturday after
noon about half pa*t two o'clock. At
that time some one pruning the residence
of Messrs. Herbert and Charlie Milam,
immediately near the Methodist e'lLirk.
noticed smoke issuing from thekitelier
’ A hasty examination resulted in the
discovery of the strt'e-ture in flames and
the occupants of the house gom. Mrs.
Charlie Mi lain was at a neighbors visit
ing at the time, and hud left her home
only a few minutes before the ala> ni was
given. A large crowd gathe.vu and suc
ceeded in saving considerable fine furni
ture, though in somewhat damaged con
dition. No effort was made to save the
house as no ineanstodo so were at hand,
and a* the building was extremely dry
from the la.e drought it burned very
flerely and could not possibly have been
saved.
The crowd with buckets turned its at
tention to the old schorl house op;saute
the turning reside ice and the Methodist
chuieh near by. Both cf these buildings
caught fire in a dozen or more places,
and it was by hard work they were saved.
L: looked as if the Methodist church was
destined to l>e burned, as then was no
bi dder of sufficient length to reach its
roof in the neighborhood. Some one
hamiened to know where the old loug
leader, that belonged to the defimctliook
and ladder company was, and succeeded
in getting it to the scene in time to save
thechurch from destruction. The finding
or’ this last relic of the old company was
indeed lucky, and in justice to the friends
of the old company, let it Ik? said, that
this simple ladder saved atleast SIO,OOO
in this instance alone, which fully paid
back what the old outfit cost, and con
siderable more besides. The money sjient
fi r its purchase, for so loug thought as
thrown away, is at last saved by the
very last relict of the original purchase.
Let the old hero be retired and put on
the pension list. It has saved our beauti
ful .Methodist ehureh, and probably our
town, who knows ? It can weli lie retired
with the honest assurance of having
done the duty it set out to fill.
The loss of the building and contents
are greatly ameliorated by the fact
that there was SIOO insurance on the
house and SIOO oil wearing apparel and
furniture. The policy was of the South
ern Mutual, represented by liev. John T.
Norris.
A BLACK SCOUNDREL.
It* Makes an Outrageous Assault Upon a
Lady Near K.sh Creek.
The Fish Creek comm unity on the
East and West road, about 25 miles from
Cartersvillej lias been greatly excited
the past few days over an outrageous
assault of a negro upon a white lady.
One evening last week a negro man went
to the house of Mr. William Wilson,
who lives a mile east of Fish Creek sta
tion, on the East and West railroad, and
approached the wife of Mr. Wilson, who
was alone with her two children, her
husband being away. She was sweeping
tha yard when he appeared and asked
her if she had seen a red cow he professed
to be hunting. She told him she had not.
The negro lingered longer thah she con
sidered agreeable, and she told him it
looked like rain and he had better gO
and seek a shelter. She then started
around the house with the intention of
entering it from the farther side. An im
pulse seized her to look back, which she
did aud observed the negro following,
and in a few moments he sprang at her
anil grabbed her by the throat, she
struggling against aim, but he finally
threw her to the ground. She claims
that from choking she became blind and
unconscious, but she freed herself from
tho negro who fled hastily. She went to
her nearest neighbor’s (a Mr. Jackson)
and told her story. The news of the af
fair spread quickly at the station and
over the neighborhood, and a large num
ber of men were soon out hunting the
negro. Mrs. Wilson described her assail
ant as a black, heavy-set negro about
5% feot high, with heavy moustache and
high check boner,. Dogs were placed upon
his track and he was run for a number
of miles in the direction of Hightower’s
mill, and the trail finally lost.
Mr. Wilson is an honorable, clever lab
oring man and his wife a worthy re
spectable woman.
From the Rome Courier of yesterday
we learn that a negro who gave his name
as Ed Hughes, was arrested Tuesday
morning at the Atlanta junction, about
there miles below Rome, charged with
the assault upon Mrs. Wilson. He was
carried before that lady who easily iden
tified him as her assailant. A reward
of S3OO had boeu raised for the negro,
and from the feeling in that community
it is thought that Judge Lynch will pre
side at his trial, conviction and execu
tion. *

We can easily preeeive the truthfulness
of “Water Lilly’s" piece of Clear Creek
in last week’s paper, when she ]<eaks of
how easily it is to get certain young men
to take charge of a Sunday school class
at Halls. This is true. We might also
state that it is a very easy matter to get
sertaiu young ladies to join certain
classes a* well. She certainly hit the nail
on the head when she spoke of the good
success one of our teachers had: he cer
tainly had noble success, and we hoje
tiiat that certain new teacher will have
equality a* good success. We deeply
sympathize with Clear Greek Sunday

right, it takes a big header! boy to make

In the first clause of my last communi

hardly bring myself to believe that I
maue such a mistake, Rut this was not
such an important a document, that the

The Hargis family had a picnic and
family re-union at the Hargis homestead
(the home of R. R. Hargis) one-half mile
from Cass, on Saturday, May 28. Al
though it was a family re-union, Captain
Hargis invited some of his friends and
neighbors to enjoy the aifair with them.
There was quite a large number present,
and everybody seemed to enjoy them
selves immensely, (’apt. Hargis said
they had met for the purpose of having
a reunion of the family and celebrating
thefr father’s birthday. He wanted all
to enjoy themselves and have a nice
time. That is always the way with Mr.
Hargis. He closed his little speech by
saying “eat, drink and be merry, for to
morrow you may die.” It was a grand
affair, and all were in high spirits. C’apt.
