A pleasing aud interesting incident
in connection with . the EpwortU
Iieagne Conference here was the pre
Bcntation of bits of wood cat frsm the
-“Wesley Oak” near Savannah, the
identical tree beneath which John
Wesley, the fonnder of Methodism,
preached in the pioneer days of Geor
gia. An oaken frame was presented
the Americas league for the framing of
its charter, while a gavel fashioned
from the same wood was presented the
Conference. The gifts were contri
buted by Mr. Grayson, of .Savannah,
and are highly prized both by the lo
cal league and the South Georgia
Conference. The old “Wesley Oak”
which stood for a century in the sub
urbs of Savannah, was cot down some
time since in clearing the right of way
for a street car line.

HR. DIXON'S DEATH IS SUDDEN.
Weil Known Resident of Ellaville
Died Yesterday
The death at noon yesterday of Mr.
Eugene Dixon, a prominent merchant
of Ellaville, was unite a shock to rela
tives and friends in Americas. Mr,
Dixon had been ill with pneumonia for
several days, and while his condition
was regarded as most serious it was
sot believed to have been critical. Mr.
Dixon was 47 years of age, a man of
most excellent character and high
social and business standing. He was
a brother of Mr. OUn Dixon of Ameri
cas, while his wife, who with three
children survives him, is a daughter of
Hr. Henry 8. Davis of this city. Mr.
Dixon was a man of sterling worth and
integrity, and his death will be gen
erally deplored.

Captain 'Cobb Ia Elcctd to Hoard Com
missioners.
At a special meetiag of the connty
commissioners yesterday morning Gap.
tain John A. Cobb was elected to the
Taoanoy created some time ago by the
death of Dr. E. J. Eldridge. Capt.
Oobbwas a member of the county
board for fifteen yews, resigning the
position in 1882 to enter the revenue
service. At that time Dr. Eldridge,
his warm, personal friend, was elected
to.the vaeenoy, and now by strange
coincidence Capt Cobb sneoeeds his
then successor. Capt. Cobb’s inti,
mate acquaintance with the duties of
the position renders hie selection
very excellent one,

JUICY MELONS IN THE MARKET.
Americas, a* Usual It Ahead On Wat
ermelons.
Had a bnneb of coocheejooochee dan-
cora struck the town yesterday their
coming would have canned no more ex
citement than did the first juicy water
melons of the season. There were bnt
three, bnt they were watermelons—
three graces indeed. Every passer-by
thnmped them affeotionately and spec
ulated npon their interior departments,
while a black resident of Peppermint
alley swallowed bis tongne and false
teeth in one convulsive gulp at sight
of them. Bnt melons will be plentiful
a week benee, and the man with a
niekel can revel in laxary once again.

The graduating exercises of Fnrlow
Kchool at the opera house Thursday
proved a fitting finale of commence
ment week and was, withal, a very
brilliant occasion, marking an epoch in
the lives of many there.
Eighteen young people bade adieu
to books and college balls to assume
more responsible dnties.
As upon former occasions, the thea
tre was filled to iti utmost capacity
long before the exercises began, and
even standing room wae not to be bad
in any part of the house.
Seated upon a beautifully decorated
stage was the graduating class of eight
een members, the board of education
and teachers.
ltose’s orchestra rendered several
selections while the audience was be
ing Beated and likewise at intermissions
in the programme, the fine musio prov
ing a pleasing feature.
Following the opening prayer Mies
Annie Martin, ealutatorian, recited
“The Legend of Dead Man's ;Lake.”
The other numbers upon the pro
gramme were as follows-
Mies Lamartine Tower,—“The Haz
ing of .Valiant.”
Mise Louise Clarke,—“The Legend
of King Xilna.”
Miss Clande McLaughlin recited
the class poem, a gem in verso.
Mr, Leon Griffin, Jefferson Davis’
Farewell to the United States Senate.
Miss Jnlia Gnerry,—“The Kentucky
Cardinal.”
Misb Agnes Hawkins,—“Her Cnban
Tea. ”
Mias Ettie Tnllns recited the class
history and a fine record it was.
Miss Mamie Clarke,—“Bobbie Shaf-
to.” '
Mr, John B. Felder, Jr,—“Deathbed
of Benedict Arnold.”
Mies Ethel Lee,—“A Trying Situ
ation. ”
Miss Elizabeth Read, class prophecy
entitled,—“Twenty Years After,”
Miss Sarah Tnrpin,—Mrs. Wiggs of
theCabbsge Fateh.”
Mr. Hollis Fort,—“Spartaons to the
Roman Envoy,"
Mies Bertha Dodson,—“Uncle Feter
at the Big Home.”
Miss Brownie Carter,—“The Cnrse
of Hagar.”
Miss Vi Callaway,—“Diamond Cnt
Diamond.”
The valedictory, delivered by Miss
Marie Morgan,was the conolnding
number npon the programme, highly
interesting throughout. The presen
tation of the diplomas conolnded the
exorcises at a late honr.
This class is the largest over gradna
ted from the schools here, and cer
tainly no former ocoaslon was more re-
plete with interest than that of last
evening.
Eli Jones has “got there” finally
aud at an early hour yesterday morn
ing was lauded behind the bars here
with the charge of murder opposite his
name. It was a long chase, bnt the
officers finally ran him to cover.
Jones must answer for the murder of
Thomas Holton, colored, committed
here only a few weeks ago.
This ia the crime in which Pomp
Walker was likewise implicated, and
for which be has just received a life
sentence, Jonee will hardly get off
qnite as easy.
After shooting hie victim, Jones fled
the country and spent eome time in
Birmingham. He returned to Ameri
cas Wednesday, and before an hour
had elapsed Sheriffs Dell and Gate-
wood had him safely located.
Armed with sbotgnns, they went to
the home of bis parents, near Cnap-
man’s Mill, the same night, rnshed
the honse and sangbt him.

[From the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont,]
In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1183, the editor of tbta paper
was among the many seekers after for
tune who made the big race one fine day
In April. During bia trave ing about
•ad afterwards his camping upon b’s
els'm, he encountered much bad water,
which together with the severe heat,
gave btm a very severe diarrhoea
which It seemed almost lmporsible to
check, and alo-g In June the case be
came so bad be expc ited to die. One
dayoae of bts neighbors brought him
oner-sail bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic,
Cbtleraand Dl'-rhoca Rrup ly as a last
hope. A big dose was giver him while
he was rolling about cu tbe ground In
Treat agony, and in a few mlnu'rs the
dose was repeated. The good effect of
the medicine was soon noticed and
within an nour the patient was taking
his first sound sleep for a fortnight,
Tha one little bottle worked a comploto
cure, and he cannot help but feel grate
ful. The season for bowel disorders
being at band suggests this item. For

Any business man in Americus
would be much annoyed at an employe
who habitually came an boar late to his
work, yet the same business man will,
perhaps unwittingly, violate an estab-
lulled rnle of the banks here by com
ing an honr late to make his deposit
As is well known, ’he banks dose at
.5 p. m. and the remaining boars are
required to balance cash, write np the
books, attend to correspondence, etc.
Yet while this is true, not e few good
business men wilt delay sending their
deposit* nntil long after the dosing
honr, and while the deposit is gener
ally recieved it causes much delay in
the transaction of their other business
on hand. If yon wonid know the num
ber of business men who thus impose
additional work npon the cashier and
bookkeepers, jnst drop into any one of
the banke here after 3 p. m. when they
are supposed to be closed.

“I am quite well aware of the fact
that the convention will be tbe exclus
ive judge of tbe election retnrns and
qualifications of its own members, and
I am not asking yon, or tbe committee,
to decide this question.”
I fully concur with yon in tbe fore
going.
The only request you make is as
follows:
'All I ask is ibat a recount be order
ed in tbe counties I have named, so
that tbe convention will have before it
evidence npon which to act in case of a
contest over tbe seat of any connty del-
egation.”
In regard to this, I beg to say that I
know of no law or party precedent,
wbich would authorize or permit tbe
state exeentive committee, or me, as
its chairman, to order a rsoonnt, re
quested by you.
However, if yon present me with any
law, or any party precedent, or submit
any sonud reasons which would seem
to indicate that the state executive
committee, or its chairman, nas any
ench authority, it will afi^ird me pleas
ure to take tbe sense of the entire com-
xnittee upon tbe question. Yours very
truly. E. T. BROWN.
