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.

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, ’Jpon the whole the affair was one Lest we have enjoyed in a lODg time, and we regrot that we haven’t ,i, e nf,M;n to do it justice, even if such were in ou * power.

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.
