an exchange, We are all interested
in each other’s welfare—or should be.
A cut-throat, every-mau-for-himself
policy rner us ruin to any community,
ft means retrogression and failure. If
there is any one lesson in politics that
must he learned without fail, it is that
of mutual assistance. The same prin
<vole applies to the business of a town,
and the more abundant will be the
city’s prosperity. Stand by one an¬
other and patronize home folks.
' vouug lady who heard Sam Joues
preach recently tells the following,

ceeded to rebuke his late comers:
■‘Now what makes you women late ?
I’ll tell you—primpin’. All the late
- ••'••ers who didn’t stay at home
in’ stand up.” No one rose but very
ugb woman. Sant looked at a
moment and remarked: “Well God
'•■vs. sister, you need primpin’ and
it makes no diffeience how late you
cewc hereafter, I’ll make no fuss.”
There are twenty-five divoice cases
booked for trial ia Burke county, and

to take the country as a whole, as in

that there would be a general separa¬

On Thursday night of last week the

MEETING OF THE RED
At Austell--An Account of the Meet¬
ing as Told by Our Worthy Cor¬
respondent.
Missus. Kjhtoks;
The ••Improved Order of Red Men"
is a united hrolheilioud Their pur¬
pose being to he’patid make each other
better.
The Great Council of Georgia met in
Austell ou Tuesday the 14th insl. Ou
their arrival, thuy were carried to the,
olliee of the bond their headquarters.
Great Peedee. Tribe of Austell, follow
ed by the Great Council inarched to
the Prosbvterian church. Alter the
singing of the. opening ode, and prayer
bv Rev. T. F. Pierce, addresses of wel¬
come were made. To these impressive
responses were made by members of
the Great. Council. After the exercises
were over, the line of march was form
ed and we went to the Red Aim's hall.
The Great Council had a very pleasant
and entlmsias ic session, We wci\
glad to entertain these worthy gentle
men in our homes, and were only sorry
they did not stay longer. The main
feature of thin meeting was the
orphans’ home to be built in Austell.
Tliin matter was freely and ably dis¬
cussed, and advanced steps were taken.
This no doubt will cause a thrill of joy
to go through the hearts of the wives
and children of the lied Men of the
Slate. The fact that they have enough
of ('bristly spirit, to attempt to care for
the orphans and w idows of deceased
brethren speaks well for the older.
A Tran lament had been made, ior tin*
Georgia Grand Lodge of Masons to lay
tim corner stone ol the Allred Austell
Consequently oil Wednesday a special j
train came out i fiom Atlanta. ti,,, 1 li
Grand Lodge was < snorted by tb<
knight iMH 4 m ai.‘i. How it thill* ,UI I
heart* to see this grand order decked
in beaut11ul uinfoitn dismount ami
m{m .i Y m the Masonic Hall. 'When all
t hings were remit tin. the Masons nwi-iul picacd

Col. Albert II. Cox was tltc orator of 1
the. day. He delivered an able address.
Then Hon. It. T. Daniels, of Grillin
made an eloquent speech in behalf ol
the order of Red Men. Here Grand
took charge. He . went

•........ .........»'
laving the, corner stom?, after which ho
made 1,1 an able address. I suppose every |
masonic heart beat proudly. V\ e felt i
glad that we . ..owe
and ancient ordci.
After the orders went, to their re
Hpeelive lodges to close their exercises,
,| u . va >q ( . roH ,| went to a nicely pre
pared barbecue. 'I bis was gotten up

•
The, yoiiii” people gave an entertain
I ment the , night helm , t > . , '
1 for the same purpose.
You rarely see such a targe crowd, as
orderly as that was. After the train
pulled up to leive, the hand stood in
front of the depot and played ‘Dixie”
Ibat brought the India .i you Buni
many throats. Then they sent forth
on the evening air, the sweet melody
of ‘Home Sweet Home.” How fitting
after laying an orphans’ home corner
stone to close the day with the strains
of this heavenly old song. ( Hon. J
K. Harris, of Columbus, past Great
Sachem of the State, remained a tew
days after the meeting, to drink our
water by which lie, lias been greatly
henciitted. He is a steward in St.
Luke’s Church, Columbus, a nephew
of the late Christian philanthropist Y.
