marched to the marriage scene and
"•luted the happy couple with a

ErasT ZPOEsTTS.
“O, where is my darling hoy lo-nighl?"
Bings a poet In plaintive song.
We're not qnite certain that we're right,
And may be we might be wrong:
But we truly believe that the boy is out
lets
Because he is swinging on somebody's
gate.
Somebody's gate—ah, well do we know
What the joys of that pastime are !
We’ll never forget—'tis years ago
Since we swung on that wooden bar;
Nor did we euspeot that the hand of fate
Was outstretched when swinging on
somebody's gate.
The old, old story, but over new—
Her futber appeared on the scene,
His looks were wet with the falling dew,
He looked like a monster marine,
And the hnll dog—oh, we can never re
late
Wbet happened when awingiug ou some
body's gate.
Don't worry about your boy to-night,
Or sigh out your soullet in rhyme,
For the chances are, if he isn't tight,
He'll havo a jolly good time,
For he won't go astray, though he staya
out late,
As long ns he's swinging on somebody's
gate.

Conmiercinl vn. Flint.
The Flint base ball club, of
Oglethorpe, came down Thursday
noon to play the Commercials the
return game. Jack Cleyhorn is
Cuptain of the club, and he is a lit
game, and gave very impartial
decisions.
At 4 o'clock the game was called,
the Commercials losing the loss
and going to the bat, scoring six
runs. They gave the Flints a goose
egg, and them piled up five more.
The rest of tbe innings wero of tho
same character, the Flints occasion
ally making one or two runs. The
Bcorc at the end of eight innings
was 32 to 8 iu favor of the home
boys. In the fourth inning Capt.
Storey was struck between the left
eye and nose by a foul ball while
batting which disabled him. The
Flints withdrew one man, and tho
game continued with eight men on
each side.
Hawkins did some fine catching
and throwing, and the whole nino
worked well.
There is splendid material in the
Commercial club, and considering
the amount of practice, they have
played well.

DEATH SENTENCE
Prououuoeil upon the Negro Rapist
la Terrell County.
Dawson, August 2.—Tho special
term of the Superior Court was
held here on last Thursday for the
trial of the negro George Jones on
the charge of rape. The court was
in session tho greater part of the
afternoon, and adjourned about
candle light. It was a most impar
tial trial and the best counsel was
granted the criminal. Hon. Ar
thur Ueod and Capt. K. F. Sim
rnons, two of the foremost lawyers
of this section, defended the pris
oner by order of the court. The
Judge, John T. Clarke, in Ills
charge to the grand jury, compli
mented in happy words the people
of Terrell county, who bad acted
wisely, soberly and righteously in
this matter, in evidencing their
loyalty to good order by patiently
waiting upon tbc action of their
court. Tlie jury was out not moro
than flvo minutes, bringing in
verdict of “guilty,” and they could
do no more than that, for the evi
dence of the guilt of the prisoner
was overwhelming. The negro,
George Jones, was sentenced to be
publicly hung on Monday, the 25th
day of next August, between the
hours of 10 o’clock, a. m. and -1
o’clock p. m. The Judge in sen
fencing the prisoner showed f
most kindly and Christian disposi
tion and urged upon him tho ncces
sity in these last moments of bis
lifo to trust in tho Savior. Tho
expenses oonnectcd with this trial,
that hardly lasted over four hours,
will reach at the lowest estimate
two hundred and twenty-five dol
lars. W. K. P.
