The holiday season is always en
joyed by McDonough’s young people,
and the one just past will be recorded
as the gayest and most delightful in the
annals of McDonough’s social history.
From Christmas eve till the ushering
in of the New Year was one continued
season of jollity—balls, sociables and
dinings were indulged in to a superflu
ity. It would he a useless task for us
to try and portray in the limited space
allotted a full account of each, or to
even mention all.
The annual Masquerade, given at
Institute Hall on the night of the 27th,
ult., was an occasion that was equal,
if not beyond any former entertain
ments of the kind held in McDonough
for years. As is usual, a large number
of invitations were issued, and m con
sequence the bright and winning smiles
of lads and lassies from all the sur
rounding towns helped to lend anima
tion to the pleasing scene presented on
that occasion Varied were the cos
tumes, and they bordered from the sub
lime to the rediculous. Among the
many handsome ones worn we note
only a few :
One of the most striking figures was
Prof. S. W. Dußose, dressed a la
George Washington.
“Josiah Allen and Wife,” characters
represented by Mr. Patterson and Miss
McDonald, of Griffin, were pronouuced
by all as the most humorous and fun
creating couple present.
One of the giddiest of the gay
was no less a personage than clever Ah
Harris, of Flippen. Dressed as a
“Jester at King George’s Court,” he ]
was a very large chuck of life aud
animation in the happy throng with
which he was surrounded.
Mr. B. B. Carmichael as that re
nowned Indian chisftan “Sittiug Bull,”
was a grand, glittering, glaring suc
cess, and many were the “pale face
maidens” with whom this gallant Red
man flirted.
Messrs. Leßoy Fargason, as “The
Crusader,” Edward Copeland as “The
Turk,” Harris Carmichael as the
“Town Dude,” Toy Turner as “The
Hunchback,” Ed. Smith as “Uncle
Sam,” Stewart Hensley as “Sister Elen
Lease.” Boykin Newman as a ‘Span
ish Senor,” and Dr. J. B. Low “An
English Sorptsmau,” were all master
pieces.
Miss Trellis Carmichael made a very
coquettish “Little Red Riding Hood.”
Miss Morris as a “Fairy” was simp
ly captivating.
Mrs. Minnie Harwell dressed in a
costume as white as the fleecy staple
she represented, presented a strikingly
attractive appearance. Her rare love
liness was never better displayed than
on this occasion.
Miss Birdie Daniel, as “Nothing
But Leaves” was one of the most ad
mired young ladies present, while her
costume was one of the most elegant
displayed on that occasion.
Misses Mary Turner, Ethel Tye,
Luella McKibben, Phe and Laura
Sloan, Sallie Tomlinson, Mamie Max
well, Ida Hightower, Betty Berry,
Mary Meyer and Minnie Ilooten were
all dressed to represent beautiful and
appropriate characters.
But in this article the half caunot
be told of who was present. The
names of all with characters would
fill columns.
The reiguing hell of the evening
was Miss(?) Willie Thrasher, who j
wore a beautiful decollete gown of
black lace ornamented with silver stars, j
while above her(?) classisbrow a silver
crested half moon nestled in her(?) nut
brown hair. If you don’t believe she(?)
was fascinating we will just refer you
to Dr. Robt. L. Tye.
At 10 o’clock supper was announced
and each gentleman escorted some
fair one into the lower hall where a
sumptuous repast had been prepared.
After supper games, music and social
converse was indulged in until the
“wee, sms’ hours o’ morning.’’
* * *
A “Christmas Chimney,” which was
something out of the usual order in the
way of an entertainment, was indulged
in by all the Sunday Schools on Christ
mas eve, at Institute Hall. The bright
little faces of the numerous Sunday
School scholars gleamed with excite
ment and appreciative enjoyment from
the time old Santa Claus made his ap
poarance until every brick in the chim
ney, transformed into a receptacle filled
J with goodies by the kind fairy, was
distributed.
As old St. Nicholas Mr. Ed. Cope
land was a success, and won the hearts
McDonough, ga., Friday, January <>, ihdb.
of all the little ones by his liberality ;
while, as Santa Claus’ “friend in need,”
the good Fairy, who was faithfully rep
resented by little May Daniel, was all
that chilhood’s imagination could have
desired. It was highly enjoyed by
those for whom it was planned.
* * *
On Monday evening, the 26th
at the hospitable home of Mrs. Jessie
Tomlinson, a delightful hop was given
in honor of the visiting young ladies in
the city. That it was an occasion of
more than usual enjoyment to those
who delight to “trip the light, fantastic
toe” cannot be disclaimed.
* * *
♦
Also, on Monday evening, a number
of young people were entertained at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Max
well, on Atlanta street.
* * *
'The doors of Hon. E. J. Reagan s
delightful home, ou Spring Hill, were
thrown wide to the young people ou
Wednesday evening. With such a
host aud hostess it could not have been
otherwise than an enjoyable event. On
this occasion the devotees of Terpsi
chore held high carnival.
* * *
On Thursdav eve Mr. and Mrs. J.
* \
A. Fouche entertained a uumber of
frieuds at their home, on Atlanta street.
* # *
The young gentlemen of the town
tendered the young ladies a complimen
tary dauce on the evening of the 30th
ult., at the Dailey old residence. The
occasion was an informal one, and the
merry young folks who were assembled
gave themselves up without restraint to
the enjoyment of the occasion. It will
be remembered by all present as one of
the most enjoyable affairs of the holi
day season.
* * *
The masquerade and supper given
the children at Institute Hall last Fri
day night wes an occassion of more
than usual enjoyment to the numerous
little ones preseot. Characters were
portrayed faithfully by many of the
“little midgets.” Space forbids us
giving in detail each character. The
ladies aud gentlemen who were instru
mental in getting it up were well re
warded by listening to the merry laugh
ter of the little folks that spoke in un
mistakable terms of unalloyed enjoy
ment.
Rev. N. N. Edge Dead.
Rev. N. N. Edge, well known in
Henry county as a citizen of Hampton,
having founded and edited The Enter
prise there, died in Jonesboro Christ
mas eve. The Jonesboro Enterprise
gives the following account of the sad
event:
“The sudden death of Rev. N. N.
Edge on last Saturday cast a gloom
over the entire town. On Saturday
morning he came to town and returned
to his home about 11 o’clock, and at
22 o’clock he was dead.
Rev. Edge had been a great sufferer
for many years, and death was a sweet
relief to him. He has been a citizen
of our town for a good long time and
had friends to the number of his ac
quaintances. For the past few years
his health has beeu so had he could
not serve churches, but for many years
he preached in the Baptist church at
Indian Springs, and congregations at
Hampton and many other places in the
State have been edified by his ser
mons.
Ilis remains were buried in the citi
zens’ cemetery last Sunday with ma
sonic honors.”
Gone to the Penitentiary.
Ben Bivins, one of the negroes found
guilty at the October term of Henry
I Superior court, aud sentenced to life
imprisonment for the killling of Capt.
| Adam C. Sloan, was capried to the
| Chattahoochee Brick Works, on the
23rd ult., where from now until called
from time to eternity, without interfer
ence by the chief executive, he will
! work for the state. The act in which
Ihe participated was a most fiendish
one and no punishment inflicted can be
too severe.
An Infant Dies.
The infant child of Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas J. Upchurch died on the 23rd,
ult., and was buried at Bethany the
morning following. The Weekly
hereby extends sincere sympathy to
the bereaved ones in their loss.
Good for th e Georgia Midland.
A special from New York says ar
rangements for funding the bonds of
the Georgia Midland railroad company
have been perfected. The plan pro
vides for the issuance of 4 per cent
mortgage bonds aud senes of incomes.
The bonds now bear 6 per cent inter
est. The total issue is $1,494,000.

What Folks are Saying anti Doing
Chronicled.
“How would a first class .batik, iully
equipped with time lock vault and all
the other necessary parapber>-atia, here
in McDonough strike you r was the
querry propounded to a representative
of The Weekly by one of the moat
prominent citizens in McDonough’s
financial circles this week.
Of course we expressed our opinion
about the matter, stating that it was a
crying shame that we didiYt have one,
etc., when we were interrupted by the
aforesaid gentleman with this remark :
“Well, you needn’t be surprised if
McDonough has such an institution es
tablished within her border** inside of
the next ninety days.”
The gentleman who made the above
remark, if we should mention his name
would be recognized by all as one that
does not indulge in such remarks un
less he had good grounds for so doing.
We say, let’s have the bank by all
means.
One of the most popular pastimes
during the holidays was bicycling
around the public square. Mr. Paul
Turner brought his machine up from
Macon with him, and has b< en giving
the boys a few lessons. Thomas I).
Stewart is a faithful and apt scholar,
but the leading star, one v*ho never
fails to draw an audience and elicit
wildest applause, is none loss than
handsome Dr. Charles ? cDonald.
When under full headway the flapping
of his long Prince Albert coat causes
him to resemble some mighty bird
sweeping in graceful curves, close to
earth. His most brilliant girations,
Such as “taking a header,” running in
to a mule and wagon, etc., were watch
ed by all the “small fry” in open
mouth admiration.
Little “Scat” Turner and Adel Scott
received as Christmas presen ' a hand
some bicycle each, and are now
envied by all their companions.
* *
Editor Parry iT l *w ” J
ulon, were up during the holidays vis
iting relatives and mingling with friends
and acquaintances. Parry is one of
“the fourth estate” who is succeeding.
He informs us that the Journal will
soon move into a building of its own.
He also contemplates making improve
ments in the mechanical department
of his paper. The Journal already
ranks with the best weeklies, but in its
rapid strides to higher heights we can
but wish its energetic young editor
aud publisher that success be so richly
merits.

Its an old axiom that a “green Christ
mas makes a fat grave yard.” If tins
be true the incoming year wi'l un
doubtedly be an unusually healthy one.
It was quite cold, with heavy, killing
frost on Christmas day, and on the day
following there was a light fall of snow,
but on Tuesday the weather moderated
somewhat, the genial rays of the sun
dispelled the clouds, aud soon the
“beautiful snow” was numbered with
the things of the past. The weather
remained very cold, however, through
out the week. The ground was frozen
to a considerable depth, and some aux
iety is expressed by our farmers in re
gard to the fall oat crop, although we
have not ascertained yet to what ex
tent they are damaged, if any at all.
The Directors of McDonough Insti
tute have had that building undergoing
repairs, and have also had erected a
partition in the large recitation room,
which will add much to the comfort as
well as convenience of the building,
during the recent vacant- '1 he
grounds have also received their at
tendon, and having beeu leveled, aud
walks laid off, present a much im
proved appearance. So much for pro
gress. Let the good work continue.
On Chiißtmas eve while engaged in
firing a small cannon the boys were
using to express their joy at the ap
proach of the holiday season, Lewis
Brandon, The Weekly’s energetic
young devil, by a too reckless manner
of handling fire had the misfortune to
be blown up with powder. He re
ceived a very badly powder “speckled”
countenance, Laving a narrow escape
from losing his eye sight, but besides
this received no other injury. Don’t
“monkey” with powder and fire at the
same time, boys.
* *
A number of changes have taken
place in our little city iu the past two
weeks, some moving away, others mov
ing in, and still others changing from
I one dwi Ring to another ; but all have
I settled down at last ami are preparing
I to try and make the most of the new
I year now upon us.

Sheriff Glass informs its that “Ar
thur Copeland has crossed over aud
burned the bridges behind him.” We
don’t exactly understand this, and here
by ask Walker Carmichael to call at
the first opportunity and explain it to
us. Won’t you, Walker ?

The past several days have been a
terrible trying period to the “Cotton
Tail” family. With dog and gun they
have been daily besieged with an ardor
worthy of a nobler cause. And ntauy
who were wont to nestle in beds of
pine needles, breathing the pure, resi
uous air of the wild woods, have fallen
an unwilling sacrifice to the epicurean
taste of their human foes.
“Fitch” Alexander is considering
the advisability of purchasing a bicycle.
We btdieve in “galloping with the bell
cow,” Colonel, but before making such
a purchase, we ask yon in the language
of the leather-lunged stump speaker, to
pause and reflect on the extra burden
it wou’d place on “Nicodemus” to keep
you in sight. Think about this before
you make a step you might forever re
gret, Colonel.
* *

Look here, boys, we mean you home
hoys, you’d better keep your weather
eye ou the alert; other people are find
ing out the beauty, grace and sweet dis
position of the McDonough girls, and
if you don’t mind you will sleep over
your rights. “A word to the wise, etc.”
A geutlemau talkiug of city politics
cue day receutly, said: “McDonough
has never had a better officer than
her present mayor, lion. John T.
Oglesby. During his administration
offenders have been punished, aud
justice meted out without fear or favor.
The city is in shape financially, although
the tax rate last year was much lower
than the year before; iu fact he’s au
A 1. officer, aud I hope, if he will ac
cept, to see him re-elected.” The crowd
to whom the remarks were addressed
The Weekly's representative being
one of the number, heartilly concurred
in all that had been said.
' Everybody, and the editor, have
sworn off and turned over a new leaf.
May all the good resolves be faithfully
kept, every bright anticipation realized,
and every hope materialized and con
firmed that is for the right. May the
incoming year of grace, eighteen hun
dred and ninety-three, be barren of
disappointment, sadness, sorrow, dis
aster and death, and ba pregnant with
prosperity, peace, happiness, content
ment and good-fellowship for all our
people.

How many letters have you sent the
past week that were not dated Janu

McDonough possesses within her bor
dels B'ime of as noble, tender hearted
young men as the world can produce.
It is only a regard for their sensitive
ness that causes us to deter from men
tioniog some of the many charitable
acts at their bands that have come un
der our observation. With willing
heart, and ready hand and pursue, their
ears are ever open to the unfortunate
and needy. Hoys, you need no word
of commendation, for a knowledge “of
duty well performed” is reward suffi
cient.
There is a pair of eyes of violet
blu", big luminous eyes that have, if
we can read signs correctly, captivated
a certain visitor, heart and soul, so
full of radiant joy and heavenly sweet
ne*s are they. Hut then who could
withstand such eyes, when coupled
with hair of waving gold, and lips and
cheeks as pink as the hearts of roses,
and—well, as we arc married wo sup
pose it better to deter from further de
Bcription.

Homo of our very early gardners
have already c mmenced planning for
the garden, an 1 aro talking already of
planting seed. In view of the recent
severe cold weather, they say that the
outlook for early gardens and a good
fruit crop is brighter than for years,
for the prevailing opinion among the
weather prophets and sage agricultur
alists seems to be that severe cold in
the first of the winter season is almost
invariably succeeded by a mild early
spring.

awarded the teacher who had attended
most regularly during the year just
closed. Upon referring to the Secre
tary’s record it was found that the priza
had been won by Mrs. A. C. Nolan.
In a few words fitly spoken Superin
tendent Stewart presented Mrs. Nolan
with a handsome Oxford Teacher’s
Bible., When the Bible was handed
her, Mrs. Nolan arose and made an
eloquent speech of acceptance, assur
ing those present that although she
had come only to help iu the Master’s
cause, still the token of appreciation
presented ou that occasion would be
treasured by her through the remain
der of life. She stated that for forty
years past sho had beou engaged in
Sunday School work as a teacher.
May tho Great Father of us all add
many more years to this noble, conse
crated Christiau’s span of life, that
sue by hor influence and example may
lend to us encouragement to press for
ward.
A prize was also awarded Mrs. J. Q.
Nolan as being next in regularity of at

It is said that tho ladies of the Meth
odist l’arsouage Society are contem
plating giving an entertainment at no
far distant day. Tub Weekly joins
our people iu the wish that they will
decide so to do. No place in the state
can boast of finer home talent than old
McDonough.
While sitting around the barber shop
stove one night recently, spining yarns,
one of the boys proceeded to tell a
thrilling tale of a drunkard who be
came so saturated witli whisky that his
breath caught fire as he was blowing
out a caudle, set his insides ablaze, and
with dramatic effect pictured the blue
blazes as they flickered and flamed,
burning first the poor victims eye balls
from their sockets and then spreading
until the whole body was consumed as
thougli it had been a whisky keg. Con
eluding this weird and ghastly recital
he turned to a specimen of what >s
now termed “an intoxicated Afro-
American,” but is more generally
known as a half drunk nigger, who had
edged just inside the door to escape the
wintry blast outside, and whoso eyes
looked as large and white as saucers,
surrounded as they were by the bla <k
shiny face, caused, as every one ac
quainted with the negro knows, only by
fright, aud addressed him in all solem
nity, thus : “Say, Tom, let this he a
warning to you.” “Oh, good golly,
boss, it am dat,” declared the horrified
j darky, “I ain’t a g’win’ to blow out
ernuther candle as long as I live.”
Married.
Mr. Joe Ilurks, a prosperous farmer
of Clayton county, was married on
Christmas day to Miss Mabry Suttles,
of Ellenwood, a daughter of Mr. John
Suttles. We wish them much happi-
I ness ami prosperity.

Georgia's presidential electors will
meet in Atlanta Jan. 9, the second
Monday in the month. Heretofore
they have met in December, but since
the presidential election of 1888 the
law has been changed. Oue of the
electors this year has been very sick.
In the case of death an alternate is to
serve, but there might be some trouble
over that in a close state. Col. Dick
Grubb of Darien will be the messenger
to carry Georgia’s voto to Washington.

A man who has a nice, clean farm, a
nice, clean conscience, a tidy wife and
good health, has all that this world cau

to bo far happier than any king, for he
is a king and the other half of him is
quoen within their own domain. A
hundred acres, more or less, makes a
good domain.
The A'tlanta Journal has this item :
The other day a hugging bee was given
for the benefit of a church in Arizona,
aud it was 15 cents a hug. A man,
while blind-folded, hugged his own wife
for several minutes. When he found
out who she was he got mad and dem
anded his 15 ceuts back, llis wife was
madder than ho was and immediately
went homo, declining to participate any
further if she was to be imposed on in
that manner.

The clerk of the weather lias taken
no ice of the opinion expressed by many
people that the winters are growing
milder, and contradicts it. He points
out that similar ideas prevailed at a
very early date among the American
colonists, hut that the average has been
undoubtedly maintained since that dis
(aut period.
The annual expenses of the United
Stales government, including the
amount paid for pensions, are now
something like $000,000,000, or about
$lO to every man, woman and child.
Of this amount, two-thirds is paid by
people whose imeomes are less than
§I,OOO a year. In the aggregate
amouut, the annual incomes over SI,OOO
a year will fully double those under
that sum. Nothing short of a gradua
; ted income tax will equalize matters,
and in no way that it can be looked at
is there any injustice in such a measure.
