preparations for one of the live

t0 be holly contested was not
doubted by any one. and both
sides went to work early with a
w iH.
The blue flag brigade, composed |
of a large number of boys and
g j r ]s of nearly all ages and sizes, j
and who had been thoroughly j
drilled, turned out early and were
stationed with their flags between
the two entrance gates and the
court house. These little fellows
with their blue flags promptly j ■
saluted and cheered every piece
of blue ribbon as the wearer
marched up between their lines fo
the voting place, and when they
found a voter without a badge
promptly offered him one and in
misled on putting into bis hand a
ticket, on which were printed the
words: “Against the sale.” |
A great many ladies also turned j
out and worked with a will that
surprised many. But the while antis all|
this was going on j
were at work in dead earnest, and
while they were not making any
demonstration it was evident
from the beginning that they were
polling a good many votes.
The prohibitionists run ahead j
at this precinct from the start,
and once or twice during the day
it was thought a majority had
been gained sufficient to make the
county safe against almost any
odds that could possibly
brought from the other voting
places, but snch was not the case, ;
as will be seen by the following

The majority, which was only

Strong talk of a conte*t was at

now the prohibitionists have do

desire to have liquor sold in East

and circulated asking the council
to place the license at $10,000.
This petition was quite ntirner
ously signed. A good many of
the citizens looked at the
differently and declared that i!
the traffic was to be carried on m
the county and possibly near East

have a license which would not be
prohibitory. A petition to

The water has backed up over the

OBITUARY.
Mrs. Maggie Phillips, nee
Rogers, was born in Liberty
county, Fla., January "1st, 1857.
She joined the Methodist church
early in life and remained a con¬
sistent. member until her death
which occurred in Dodge county,
mother and two brothers and a
great many other relatives to
mourn her departure; but we have
the sweet consolation of believ¬
ing our loss is her gain, foi Maggie
enjoyed religion, and through her
sunny disposition Christianity
shone with a peculiar beauty. She
was a living embodiment of real
happiness. Her bright counte¬
nance was but the outward demon¬
stration of a joyous heart. Her
happiness was radiant and con
tagoius; you could not feel gloomy
where she was. It was not spas¬
modic, but perpetual. There
seemed to be in her a well spring
of eternal joy welling up all the
time into a lovely stream of hap¬
piness. Amid the daily toils of
domestic duties, as well as in the
social circles of friendship, and in
the sweeter scenes of church
services, everywhere and at all
times she was full of life and
full of happiness. In all the re¬
lations of life as daughter, wife
and mother. She was worthy of
all praise and a fit example to
those around her. She seemed to
walk in the light and always
to be happy on the way. She
will be missed in her church,
familv and society; hut oh! what a
radiant crown she must wear. A
dutiful daughter, a faithful wife, a
loving mother, a true relative and
friend. We all miss her. She has
gene to glory ahead of us and is
now walking the golden streets
where we trust lhat there will be
a happy reunion ot husband, wife
and children some day in the
bright beyond. May her grief
stricken husband find a solace in
the exceeding great and precious
promises. As he walks through
the valley and shadows, may he
walk with God. And over the
five little motherless children an
eye that never sleeps will watch
with more than maternal tender¬
ness and care. Her aunt
Seville, Ga. Lottie.
Bethel Snb-Alliaoce, No. 654,
Whereas we, the sub alliance,
No. 654, of Dodge county, are
called upon to mourn the death of
sister A. C. Phillips, and as a
tribute to her memory we, the
alliancemen of her lodge, and who
knew her so long and loved her so
well, pass the following ~
tions by a rising vote:
Resolved 1st, That in the deatl,
of sister Phillips our order has
lost one of its best and truest
members, and not only was sister
Phillip’s death an irreparable loss
to the alliance, but she was one ot
our most honored and respected
ladies. She was a consistent
member of the Methodist church
and a consecrated Christian. Sis¬
ter Phillips discharged her mission
faithfully and fearlessly. The
death of sister Phillips creates
a vacancy that cannot.be filled.
Resolved 2d, That, we tender
our deepest and heat-felt sympa
thy to the bereaved husband and
family.
Resolved 3d, That this tribute
be spread upon a page in the
minute book; that a copy be sent
to the husband of the deceased,
the Tisies-Journal and our state
organ be requested to publish the
same.

A CALL TO DEMOCRATS,
Chairman Atkinson's Patriotic
Appeal to the State—Units' tl*e
Watchword.
Newnan, April 4. — Chairman
Atkinson has issued the following
address to the democrats of Geor¬
gia:
Newnan, April 4.—To tho dem¬
ocrats of Georgia.—In my address
to you a short time since, issued
to you by order of the state dem¬
ocratic executive committee, I
urged you to go actively to work
and perfect your local organiza¬
tions. This work you have already
entered upon and I hope it will
progress as rapidly as possible.
Y'ou must bear in mind that or¬
ganization is a means, and not the
end which we would seek, and
that the personnel of your local
officers is of tiie greatest import
a nee. You should select men
who are true to principles of the
party, who have the ability to do
the work assigned them, and will
enter upon it with courage and
enthusiasm. The members of the
National Association of demo¬
cratic clubs, whom I appointed
some time since are requested to
«> opperate with the county denu
