The Pretty Homo of iTlr. J. I', Poetei
Do*l rot od.
Mr. J. F. Porter had the inisfortmu
to lost his elegant home and its entire
contt nts hy fire last Sunday morning.
It was about 1 o'clock when Mr.
Duke, a neighbor, upon getting up to
minister to the wants of a siek child,
discovered that Mr. Porter's house was
on tire, and rushed across the street to
give the alarm. The fumily were, still
asleep, and when they were aroused
the roof of the house was falling in,
. Uj( j ti> e y had barely time to escape in
their night clothes,
The tire is thought to have origina¬
ted in the roof of the building, as that
was the part that burned first. Rats
and matches were probably the cause.
Quite a crowd turned out upon the
ringing of the tire hell, among which
was a number of ladies, hut the lire
had gained such headway before it was
discovered that they could render no
aid.
Mr. Porter estimates his loss at near
ly sd.Otil). on which there is an insiir
anec. of £*2,000, $1,500 on the house
ail(1 $m ou lhe funiilure . A $400
pitviio, recently purchased, and a tine
gold watch were among the losses.
I Free Sliver .fleeting.
The free silventes had a meeting at
J 1 Coleman’s Ilali last Saturday for the
purpose of electing delegates to the
Gritlin convention.
The crowd was composed of twenty
four Democrats, fourteen Populists
and eight Alabamians, four of the
Democrats being for ‘‘sound money. 99
The meeting was quite a tame affair,
but little enthusiasm being noticeable,
and a sort o’ “where-aro-we-at” ex¬
pression overshadowing the counten¬
ances of the Democrats, especially.
Two or three speeches were made, one
of which was by a Populist, the drift
of whose remarks seemed to deplore
the fact that Democrats “are just four
years behind” on the silver question
and did not embrace the faith when
besought to do so hy Weaver, Post,
Lease «& Co.
One feature, of the proceedings
which-to us seemed ridiculously pre
sumptious was the wording of some
resolutions commendatory of v the
Atlanta Constitution. We refer the
words committing “we the Democrats
of ('lay county’ 1 to the resolutions. The
resolutions were probably prepared,
however, for a larger meeting, and j
the author had no intention of assuni
ing unwonted authority, not realizing,
when the resolutions were read ami
adopted, how absurd it appeared for
forty persons to resolve for a whole
county. We were not surprised that
(lie Populist present voted to endorse
the Constitution, but we were unpre¬
pared for their assuming the repre¬
sentation of the Democracy of Clay
county, especially since Tom Watson j
had forewarned them against com pro- j
mising their party.
Eighteen delegates, including several
Populists, were appointed to attend
the Griffin convention. Out of that
number there were only three, who
went—Col. Clarence Wilson and
Messrs. J. N. Bigbie and Tom Tur
nipseed.
