THE ELLAVILLE READING CLUB. The meeting of the Club last Friday night was a success so marked that the members and well wishers of the club have great reason to congratulate them selves. The special feature of the occa sion was the presentation of a program devised by a committee who were ap pointed a few weeks since to furnish an entertainment for the clnb upon the fourth Friday (last Friday) night. The program was a good one and was well executed in all particulars. The following is the program: 1st, Song quartett. “Moonlight on tha Lake”—Misses Kate and Lillie Williams, Mary Horoady and Mr. S. J. Cole. 2nd. History of the Club—W. D. Murray. 3rd. “Esmeralda,” a Gypsy song—Miss Lillie Willhms. 4th. Poem—Miss Kate Williams. 5th Overture—Miss Rabun Bass. 6th. Oration—S. J. Cole. 7th. Song “Noreen Maureen" Miss Mary Hornady. 8tli, Prophecy—Mr. Hal Lawson. To most people history is aii exceed ingly dry subject, but the history of The Ellaville Reading Club from the pen of Mr. W. D. Murray was relieved of much of the natural dullness of histroy in gen eral by the lively manner in which it was written. Mr. Murray was thoroughly conversant with his subject, for he has been an active enegetic member ’of the Club since its organizations; in fact he was one of its founders. Therefore lie was web qualified for the position of his torian. The piece was enlivened by sev eral humorous hits. The audience showed their appreciation by giving him tiieir individual attention. The Poem by Miss Kate Williams had the usual success of everything that she writes le.. it was unanimously declared an excellent production. The poem sets forth the reflections on life and lovers of a young lady, and in these reflections Miss Williams introduces the young men of Ellaville and describes in a humorous manner the character of bach. Although these character paintings are humorous they are neveitheless, in the main, true. The way in which the fair poetess por trayed the young men showed that she has been a close observer and a correct reader of human character. Prof. S. J, Cole delivered a fine oration the theme of which was: Georgia’s right to be called the Empire State of the South. He spoke of the many resources of our State as contributing to her great ness, but the main reason of Georgia’s greatness is the pluck and brain of her sons. He spoke of the many great ac tions, both civil and military, of the re repsentative men of “Georgia of Hill, Tombs, and Stephens; of Pierce, and Haygood; of Grady; and of Gordon. In conclusion he paid a glowing tribute to the women of our State and said that Georgia should not be called the Empire State of the South but the Empire State of the Union. Mr. Cole is a ready and fluent speaker, and in reasoning is both clear and forcible. The Prophecy by Mr. H. 0. Lawson was well received by the audience and although there were some humoious hits in the prophecy, the persons at whom they were aimed good-naturedly laughed at them. The audier ce encouraged the speaker very much by their hearty laughter at the end of each prophecy. The music was excellent and was ap_ predated by all. The song and dance by Miss Lillie Williams deserves especial mention. It was a rendition of the Gyp sy song “Esmeralda.” The audience kept the strictest good order during the entire proceedings. No one could have desired a better assembly for a better could not have been selected even by the severest committee on invi tation. 1 am sure that in their hearts, all of the performers thanked the good fortune that had given them such appre ciative hearers. Besides the regular club members and a number of the other people of the town there were present several visitors from a (iistance; among them Miss Bolton of Amerieus, Miss Barlow of Snow, and Miss Rleckly of Schley county and Miss Bivens. May each program of the Club have the success of their last. ll. WEDDING BELLS. A most elegantly gotten up invitation card is out announcing the nuptials of Miss Jessie Lee Peacocek, the popular and accomplished daughter of Mr. C. L. Peacock, and Mr. Thomas A. Collins, one of our most excellent yjung mer chants, to take place at the Methodist church at 8 o'clock next Tuesday p. m. After the ceremony they will reciave the congratulations of their friends at the church and depart on the fi o'clock train for a bridal trip to the Land of Flowers, with the Ancient city of St. Augustine as their objective point, Cotton has gone up to 10j cents in the Ellaville market and still rising.

NO CAMEL IN UNCLE HAMP’S BII5LF. “I doant bleeve nuffin wat 1 doant see in de bible!” exclaimed “Uncle” Hamp Mayo, one of our local colored ce!ebri;i< s as he poured out a profusion of biblical quotations last Saturday night to a crowd gathered in Peacock – Arrington’s store. “But you believe that a camel can go through tile eye of a needle, dont you Uncle Hamp’r” enquired one of the hoys. 4 i Doo de bible say it!” asked Uncle Hamp, looking the questioner square in the eyes. “Well, it says som thing about a cam el and a needles eye,” was the reply. “I doant bleeve it sar! I nebber see nuffin bout no camel in mi bible. Ole John Robinson warnt a trabblin round wid he camel wen de bible war writ!” exclaimed the old man as he stamped his foot to emphasize the assertion and put ting on iris hat walked out with an air of supreme disgust at “de lack ob bible in lermashun some dese wile fokes got.” MR. JOE ROWLAND DEAD. Mr. Joseph A. Rowland, formerly a citizen of Schley county and lately a merchant of Ellaville, died at his new home in Amerieus last Thursday of pneumonia. Mr. Rowland was a native of Amerieus, but moved with his father the late Dr. Rowland, to Schley county when a small boy and remained here, except at intervals, until about two months ago, when he moved with his family to Amerieus. He owned some land in Amerieus and had recently erected a handsome residence on it, and finally moved there with a view to add ing some more improvements to his property so as to rent it out and then re turn with his family to Ellaville. Be f„ re lie had completed his arrangements p ( * took cold which developed into pneu monia and resulted in his death. The* deceased was about 37 years of age and leaves a widow and three little daughters. WELL DONE FAITHFUL SERVANT; Mr. and Mrs. Penn Suber. of Ander son v file spent several days in Ellaville last week visiting their son, Mr. Geo. P. Suiter, For , the past thirty-six years the old gentleman has been the faithful and efficient agent of the Cen tral railroad at Andersonville. It was bis desire to remain in harness there un til relieved by death but being too old to learn telegraphy and feeling that his sal ery was too small to employ an operator as now required by the company, he was relieved from duty recently and a man put in who could attend t<> both offices. The company in relieving him expressed regrets and spoke very complimentary of hi* long and faithful service. The. old gentleman has been prudent and says that he has saved up enough to supply his waul for the balance of his days.
