Saturday the ‘25th, the 26th
falling Oil SilR(i3/ r
The aadies are- JIwuTs SO
earnest in showing respect to
our soldier dead, that it looks
like the men ought at least to
encourage them by
the meetings. It IS earnestly
hoped that not only the ladies
of the Association, and the old
soldiers,but the public generally
will be in attendance.
The 26th of April should be
dear to every Southern heart,
and all who may come, may
rest assured that they cau listen
to an address of rare excellence
and beauty ; besides the atten
dant exercises will be so ar¬
ranged that a sacred duty will
be blended in harmony with the
truest andtenderest emotions of
the human heart.
The ranks of the old soldiers
are growing thinner each year,
One after another answers
reveille “beyond the river. Let
US all strive to make Memorial
Day one of pleasant reunions
thronged with tender memories
of the day’s that are past—and
let fair and loving hands bring
each year
“Not garlands for festal or banquet,
Nor roses for pleasure’s array;
But only the beauty of sorrow,
To spread on the graves of the gray.”

sick looms of tins, and Warren coun¬
ties. She leaves a daughter and sev

James Philyaw, a native of Rabun

of her liking, named Sexton, and for

Since the return of her husband No.
1 the doubly married ladv is in a very
unsettled state of mind. Both
bands are claiming her and the ques

is apparently in love with both ef

time through no ill feeling for her
first husband, but wholly on the sup
that he was dead.

“This,” said the Able Citizen, as be
looked over the columns of his home
paper, “is what I call a bright and
spicy sheet; it ■seems to be absolutely
fearless, and wherever it sees a head
of a wrongdoer it gives that bead a
crack. Such a paper illustrates the
true mission of journalism; it >s not
only to educate the masses, but to
proteet the masses from dishonest peo¬
ple and to cored abuses; this can only
be done by an aggressive—Hello !
The blamed paper says 1 am utterly
unfit for the office to which I aspire.
Now of all the contemptible, reeking,
rotten and reprehensible newspapers
in the universe this is the worst. 1

Bending down to gel it, his hat tumbl¬

eyeglasses fell and broke on the pave¬

in his side which cost him five dollars
