Emtok Nkws-G aikttk :
The publication of an article which
appeared in your last issue over my !
signature attacking the record of A. A.
Murphey candidate for legislature, has
been construed by him as a personal
attack on his honor and character.
Said article was written and published ]
by me not for the purpose of making
any personal attack, but with a view
of criticising his public record as a
candidate for the legislature. After
reflection and consultation w ith friends
1 am persuaded that the publication
of said article was unwise and 1 there
fore withdraw it and request that you
give this communication the same
prominence in your paper as was given
that. S. M. Howard.
To The Pmuc:
Having read the communication of
S. M. Howard, submitted to me by a
. oommittee of mutual friends, in which
he withdraw s his article in last week’s
paper attacking my record. I accept
under their advice the same as a set

AT THE CONVENTION.
THE “ODD MAIDS” HELD FORTH
AT THE AUDITORIUM BAST
THURSDAY NIGHT.
According to previous announce
ment the “Old Maids” met in
open session at. the Gordon Insti
tute Auditorium, last Thursday
night.
All of the members were present
to take part in the exercise. The
covention was formed at this place
live years ago and since that time
it. had been in flourishing condi
tion. The members now com
posing this body were those incor
porated in the original organiza
tion, none having died or married
in that interval. The watchword
of this lovable body was man, and
lie was the theme of all their un
dertakings. They came robed in
their brightest finery and with
their choicest expressions,
And last, but not least worthy
of mention, Prof. Pinkerton came
upon the scene with his wonderful
machine, the transfdrm(h)er.
Some old maids he turned into
beautiful maidens with entran
cing voices, etc., others he made
mistakes, and some he made total
I failures with. The latter case
was not due to any unworthiness
j of his machine, but to the tough
ness of the subjects.
Those taking part in this affair
acquitted themselves with great
| credit and gave a pleasing enter
| tainment much enjoyed by the au
dience. A large number went to
; hear and see them and quite a
neat sum was realized for the
| benefit of the church. The Bar
j nesville Silver Cornet Band fur
nished the music for the evening
and rendered a number of selec
| tions well. The presence of the
band added much to the enjoy
ment of the occasion. The thanks
of the “Old Maids” are extended
to the band and the public.
About sixty dollars was realized
for the Episcopal church.
