I GRAND LODGE
DETERS ITS PLANS.
Macon, Ga., May 1. —Although
! the Masons of the state have paved
| away for a new Masonic temple
land home for the Grand Lodge in
Macon, nothing will he done in
the way of accepting plans until
October next, when the Grand
; Lodge meets here for its annual
| convention. The site, at the
; corner of New and Mulberry street,
i will be acceptable to the Grand
■ Lodge, but no plans to improve
.■the site can be made until the
j lodge has decided on what kind of
;a structure is to be erected.
'
j The committee that sold the
| Mulberry street temple ami pur
;
'chased the Mulberry street prop
lerty is somewhat divided as to
i
I the style of architecture wanted,
and it will take some time for a
| decision to lie reached. Marble
! will probably be used to a large
i extent in the construction of the
I *
! building, and it will be not less
than four stories high. This will
I
[.allow ample room for a large con- 1
i volition hall and will leave enough
J space for offices for the grand
i treasurer and grand secretary of
; the Grand Lodge. A building of
of this kind will hardly costless
I#loo,ooo, but the Grand Lodge
| will feel no hesitancy in bargain
ling for such a structure.
BAILEY HANDS S3GTT
SQUELCHER IN SENATE.
Washington, May 4.—Senator
Bailey was talking about, the
tariff, when he produced the most,
remarkable argument that lias j

debate. It was a “sure squelcher.”
! Senator Scott, of West Virginia
! had disagreed with a proposition
lof the Texas senator, and inter
rupted to say that he “thought”
i so and so.
| Senator Bailey heard him thru, |
(then replied:
“The senator thinks he thinks
that, blit when he thinks he will
think, he does not think anything
of the sort.”
There was no heating it.

o'clock Tuesday morning April
'27 from pneumonia.
His death was unexpected until
tile day before 1m died. It was
1 hoped Mm skill of the physician
might arrest the clutches of the
grim disease from which lie suffer
ed. lint this was not to be. Why
one in manhood’s prime should he
tuKon from our midst wo cannot
understand.
His untimely exit is a source
of intense regret and deep grief.
When it was whispered, “He is
■ Dead” a deep gloom was cast over
| the community, for he was loved
by everybody.
I Ie was an ambit ions young man
full of the liouvaiit hope and lusty
enthusiasm. A devoted husband
and a kind and alVeetinmite father.

of Montgonery’s oldest, families.
The remains were laid to rest
at Sluloh, Rev. K. <!. Willis con*

rowing relatives attended to pay
their tribute of respects,
Mr. Sears leaves beside a wife
