President McKinley was even great¬
er pleased with the Confederate badge
incident at Macon than was expressed
while here, as he has requested Dr.
Roland B. Hail, who pinned the badge
o« him, to send him five or six more.
Several days ago Dr. Hall sent the Pres
. ideot another one of the badges, telling
him that he did so because the one he
pinned on him might possibly have
been rained by the rain. Dr. Hall will
send at once a half dozen of the bad¬
ges w ith the compliments of the Con¬
federate Votenns’ Association. The
fact that President McKinley wore a
Confederate badge during his stay in
Macon has been favorably commented
on all over the country by the news¬
papers.—Macon Telegraph.

To« are perhaps aware that pneu¬
monia always res'.ts from a cold or
from an attack of la grippe. During
the epidemic of 1* grippe a few. years
ago when so many cases resulted in
pneumonia, it was observed that the
attack was never followed by that dis¬
ease when Chamberlain’s Cough Rem¬
edy was nsed. It counteracts any ten¬
dency of a cold of la grippe to result in
that dun rous disease. It is the best
remedy im the world for bad colds and
la grippe. Every bottle warranted.

MASONIC BANQUETI
AND INSTALLATION OF OFFICERS
FOR THE ENSUING YEAR.
A Festal Occasion Annually Knjoy
rd ay the Masons—A Bril¬
liant Success.
One of the most enjoyable events of
the holidays was the annual banquet of
the Masons, on tho 27th ult.
The installation of the officers elect¬
ed for the ensuing year—which took
place at the Methodist church a short
while anterior to tho festal occasion at
Coloruan Hall—was profoundly inter¬
esting and Impressive. Judge W. A.
Graham, acting in his capacity as grand
lodgo district deputy, assisted by Mai¬
ler of Ceremonies T. M. Brown, con¬
ducted the installation, which he sup¬
plemented with an address on mason¬
ry that was highly edifyiug and in¬
structive, giving those who heard it a
clearer idea of the high purposes and
teaching of this grand and ancient or¬
der than they perhaps ever had.
Just hero we arc reminded that his
brother Masons have been. joking
Judge Graham about a ludicrous error
that occurred in our recent report of
the election of officers, in which his
name was substituted for that of Mr.
R. L. Holland in connection with the
office of tyler. The “intelligent com¬
positor” perhaps reasoned that the
judge having about reached the top of
the official ladder of masonry, ho
should again start at the bottom rung.
1110 fact is fib iV tiow grand lodge dis¬
trict deputy, and has hold other* of the
higher oiliceB in tho lodge and chapter.
The Installation of the officer* being
disposed of, the Masons and members
of tholr families repaired to the hall to
enjoy the feast prepared for thorn.
Knowing our appreciation of a good
thing, and through sympathy for the
hard lot of a country editor., wo were
provided with the pass word (an ad¬
mission card) and permitted to enjoy,
for the time being, the privileges of
this noble order.
If tlm glimpse afforded us is but a
foretaste of tho richer privilege# cn
joyed by the initiated, we wonder that
everybody does not strive to attain that
worthiness which will admit them, to
the ifcner sanctuary.
The sight that met our gaze on en¬
tering the hall was one that caused us
to feel that it was indeed good to be
there. Brilliant lights, handsome men
and lovely women, all animated by con¬
geniality,-cordial fellowship ai?d fes¬
tal spirits, together with two long ta¬
bles covered with snow white linen and
laden with the choicest viands and do
lfeious dainties in great variety. About
100 covers were spread and those pres¬
ent lingered long at tho table enjoying
between courses converse spiced to suit
the occasion. Oysters on the half shell,
stewed oysters, with coffee constituted
a course th mne declined.
Among tp^vlsiting Masons present
wore the Messrs. Williams, of Blake¬
ly. and Capt. J. W. Dozier, a former
resident oi Fori Gaines, who added
much to the enjoyment of the occasion
by what appeared to ns an inexhaus
tive store of rich anecdotes, related
with characterization which evinced
the fact that the captain has other a c
complishiuents besides the effectual
wielding of the rod in the school room
and playing a violin. lie also fayored
those present by reading several
choice selections,

In company with Mr. R. C. McAl¬
lister we enjoyed a few day* outing
last week at the splendid country homo
of Senator T. C. Sutton and his worthy
sons, Messrs. T. W. and Marcus Sut¬
ton. They had just killed a number
of fine porkers, and to say that wo had
a “hog killrng time” but expresses the
pleasure afforded the inner man, this
fare being supplemented with other
eatables of a daintier kind. Our so* int
pleasure and the enjoyment w« had in
going over the broad and fertile acres
and riding behind a pair of fancy home
raised colts along level piny wooda
roads, made our visit one of delightful
And invigorating recreation.
The well filled barns, fat stock,
sleek cattle, frisky colts, and abun¬
dance of home-raised meat was the ev¬
idence we had that Mr. Sutton and his
thorough going sons have solved the se
of successful farming. Besides market¬
ing 800 bales of cotton, they have plen¬
ty of corn, oats, etc, to run the place
another year, and will kill 0,000 ponnds
of pork.
Besides looking after thirty odd
plows they successfully manage a saw
mill and steam ginnery, a general store
and the post office, and it is needless
to say that tact, system and energy is
required.
We noted but one thing lacking, and
if father and sons can ever agree as ton
which is responsible for it, we feel as¬
sured the need will be supplied. Th
old gentleman says Warren ought to
venture; Warren says Marcus is the
best looking, and therefore ought to
“do about," and Marcus says both the
others watch hips so close that he has
no showing. \
Thursday we were joined by Messrs.
C. S. Mealy and W. B. and J. C. Hat
fcav&y, of IJJuffton, who with Marcus'
and Mr. McAllister had some fine sport
birdshooting, and we brought home
with ns a liberal share of the game,for
which our friends have our thanks.
It was indeed a pleasant trip and we
are duly grateful to the Messrs. Sutton
and friend Bob.

“I have just recovered from tho sec¬
ond attack of la grippe this year,” says the
Mr. Jas. A. Jones, publisher the of latter
Leader, Mexia, Texas. “Iu
case I used Chamberlain’s considerable Cough Rem¬
edy, and I think with suo
cess, only being in bed a little over two
days against ten days for the former
attack. The sccond'attack I am sat¬
isfied would have been equally as bad
as the first but for the use of this rem¬
edy as I had to go to bed in alrout six
hours after being ‘struck’ with it,
while in the first ease I was able to at¬
tend to business about two days before
getting ‘down.” For sale by all Drug¬
