Bro. Glcssner was ho happy over
Cleveland's election that he painted
the outside of his paper red two or
tbreo days after the election. Bro.
Glessner led Clinton a little too
soon. If he had remained here

he would have the pleasure of sign

Cleveland takes possession of the

Griffin Now., Nov. 35. ~9
Last night tho Golden troupe
played for the first time on Griffin
hoards, the play being the success
ful comedy drama of “Tho Planter’s
Wifo.” The play is an interesting
one, and it was admirably render-
cd^the characters being well sus
tained throughout. Bella Golden
’jiti “Edith Gray,” was especially
charming and realistic, and was
.frequently applauded, while Martin
Golden ns tho hero could not be
excelled. The troupe-is a full one,
its castes are well made and its en.
tortainment excellent. The band
is the best that we havo ever hoard
in G4lff)b,ihd-the charming over
tures of tho orchestra before the
play and between the aots was not
tho least charming ieaturo of the
occasion. Altogether the good
sized audience present passed a
most pleasant evening aud were
enthusiastic in their praises, and
the indications are that the troupe
will have a still larger attendance
to night, which closes their en
gagement. A different play will
be presented and everybody should
embrace -this opportunity to ecc
To Drainesville, in Marion coun
ty, formerly known a» Poieam
Trot and Jacksonville, belongs the
ribbon for the beat colt show ever
held in the state,
Last Tuesday was the day set
aside for the exhibit of fine colte.
It had been advertised for several
weeks in the Wzekly Recorder,
and created quite a stir among the
farmers and colt raisers of this sec
tion. All day Monday the colt*
began to com* in, and when the
hour arrived on Tuesday for the
exhibition it found forty-one colta
as contestants for favors, thirty-six
being for the money prizes and five
for ribbon.
The judges selected were Judge
Harper Black, ct Snmter, and
Messrs. Maddox and Stokes, of
Buena Vieta. After a careful ex
amination of the colts, the judges
made the following awards:
Best colt under six months,
Robert Cranford; premium,$10.00.
Best colt over six aud under
twelve months, David Majors; prc.
mium, $5.00.
Best colt over one and under two
years, J. S. McGarrab; premium,
$5.00.
Best colt over two And under
threo years, W. L. Clements; pre
mium, $5.60.
Best colt over three and under
lour years, Joe Crawford; premium,
ribbon.
The number of colts shown by
each exhibitor were: Robert Craw'
ford, nine; David Majors, five; J. S
McGarrab, eleven; W. L. Clements,
eleven; Joe Crawford, five. Mr. J.
S. Shclice, of Taylor county, had
on exhibition a fine three-year-old
dapple grey stallion, which attract
ed much attention.
Judge Black says it waB the fin
est display of colts lie has ever seen
in tho state, and he has attended
all the slate fairs and stock shows.
In every respect the exhibition was
a success, and the farmers of that
community who got it up are to bo
congratulated for thair enterprise.
It must be a good country that can
show so many fine colts, when so
little attention has been paid to
stock raising.

A Case of Poisoning.
Last Monday Thoma3 Griffin, a
colored man living near this city,
told his wife to make him up tome
corn bread to take with him to his
work, he being employed on tho
railroad at Andcrsonville. Hie
wife, in order to make tho broad,
got somo milk of a neighbor and
tho bread was made. Ou Tuesday,
while Griffin and a companion were
eating the bread for lunch, they
were taken violently ill, with all
the symptoms of arsenical poison
ing. They were removed to a house
and the bread was laid upon a shelf.
Some crumbs of the bread dropped
upon the floor and woro picked up
and eaten by a oouple of little chil-
drea, who were soon also ill. When
Griffin in n measure recovered, be
became alarmed fur his family
khawingtbat some of the bread was
left at home. Arriving borne, he
found all of his family sick except
his wife, who never eats that kind
of bread. One of the children has
since died and the others are yet
sick.
The fourth quarterly meeting of
this body woe held at New Hope
church, In the sixteenth district,
ou lost Saturday. A large con
gregation was present, and all en
joyed the meeting very much. The
reports from the several district*
weie encouraging, showing that
despite serious urawbacks, the in
terest in the work is not dead, but
seems to be growing, and the pros
pect is favorable.
An excellent essay was read by
Mr. J. J. Granberry, setting forth
the good effects of early impres
sions and learning, of which the
Association by vote requested a
copy for publication. A splendid
dinner was prepared by the hospi
table people of the community, and
was very much enjoyed, especially
by the visitors from town, who do
not often sit down to as great and
good a feast of fat things as was
there provided.
The afternoon session was chiefly
given to discussion of experiences,
difficultirs, helps, opportunities
and prospects of the work, and
was very interesting and encour
aging. Short and pointed talks
were made by Vice-President
Wheatley, Rev. F. M. Lawrence
Messrs. Black, Weakly, Glaze
Hewett, Wilson, Johnson, and
others. Singing was a special fea
ture of the day, and led by Prof.
Cheek, chorister of the Association,
and assisted by Messrs. Walker,
Dozier and others. It was a most
enjoyable service, in which the
congregation heartily entered.
The Association selected Pleas
ant Grove church, io the twenty
eighth district, as the place of
meeting in February next, and
after a vote of thanks to the good
people of the neighborhood for the
generous entertainment given them
adjourned with the benediction
The meeting was a most profita
ble one to all concerned, and there
is no doubt that the Association
though laboring under the difficul
ties of the first year of organiza
tion, is arousing an interest in its
work aud is extending its field of
labor aud usefulness.
