Last Thursday Niglit--A Heavy Loss Pantly
: : Cevered by Insurance--A New House
to be Built.
' Last Thursday night, about 1} o'clock,
- the fire alarm sounded and 1n a few min
~utes the heavens were aglow with the
- reflection of curling tongues of flame a®
: they leaped from one part to another of
the Farnum House, destroying all in
. their path.
| Bothfire companies responded prompt
.ly, and though they poured five streams
_ of water on the building it burned 1o the
| ground, and if it had not been for the
- watchfulness of the company many ad
' joining buildings would have also been
i destroyed.
‘ The loss is very heavy, but was partly
'covered by insuiance. All the house
- hold and kitchen furpiture, office fix -ures
! and a good deal of personal property
- help to sweli the loss, until it was estis
" mated to be $7,000.

POPULIST MASS MEETING.
" .
A SMALL CNOWD ATTENDED IT L:\STI
‘k SATURDAY.
l Sfome Reselutions Were Passed, Delegates ‘
l Were Elected and the Executive |
Committee Was Reorganized. |
' Saturday was the day advertised for a
mass meeting of the populists of Terrell
county at Dawson. When the meeting
was called to order in the superior court
room at 1I o'clock there were 25 or 30
people present, which number was not
increased before adjournment,
Mr. Lott Jennings, chairman of the
county executive committee, called :h 8¢
present toorder,and stated that the object
of the meeting was to elect delegates to
the gubernatorial and congiessi mal con
ventions and to reorganize the county
committee. Chairman Jennings made a
few remarks before taking his seat, and
said that while not many were present,
they were there for a noble purpose.
Mr. Wm. Martin was elected chairman
and Colonel Ben Christie secretary, As
soon as Mr., Martin made a few
remarks and told why more people were
not present, Mr. J. J. Taylor arose and
introduced the following vesolations:
Resolved 1. Ne, the peopls’s party of
Terrell zounty, in mass meeting assem
bled, do, now and here, earnestly recon
secrite ourselies to the grand principles
of the Omaha platfoim, and p'edge
ourselves, individually and ¢ llectively,
to use ail bonorable means to secure
their success in the coming elections.
We pledge ourselves to the untrammeled
ballot, a just and fair count, rea'izing the
fact that upon the purity of the ballot
t rest the continnance and perpetuation o
a republican form of government.
l 2. We denounce the preseri adminis
| tration for its cowardice and deception,
[ its corruption and imbecility, and for its
treachery to the promises made the peo
pie by its leaders; for its class legisla
tion, and for the dem i iz:fion of sil
ver, he money of the ¢ nsiintion, and
tiic money of our fatliers, { © L issaing
f interest bearing -bonds in time of
peace, while millions of silver bullion,
bought withthe people’s morey,aiel; n
idle in the treasury.
3. We denounce the democratic party
and its republican ally, for the destttute
condition of the thousands of toiling
men; for the existence of acombine on
\u(\ mentionable article that producers
to have to buy, at the same time foreing
l producers to sell their produce inan un:
protected market.
4, As merchants, fariners and laborers
are so closely related that what interests
‘ one also effects the other; as the failur
of the farmer involves the merchant’:
}downfull and the labor panic; as.we ar
all equally interested in therest ration o!
the present corrupt government; and, as
such a work demands the; strenct : of
unity, we invite every,man, both demo
’crat and republican, to leave their ol:
parties nd unite v.lth toe people’s paity.
We beg that they «ling no more to a
party for the sake of a name, which ' hey
!lmve loved so long, but join hand :und
heart with us for the interests of th - p ‘o
p‘e-” ’
After the adoption of theresolutions
Tolonel Ben Christie and Mr. Dick
Fletcher were elected delegates to thc
gubernatorial convention, which will
meet in Atlanta on May 16th. Messrs,
D. A Gammage and J. J. Taylor wer.
elected delegates to the congressional
convention, which will be held in Daw
son on April 12th. :
Dr. Woods aud Messrs. Jones, Goss,
Biackshear and McLeod were appointed
a commitiee to select. an executive com
mittee. They reported B. F. Christie fo

6th, John Statham for Parrott, L. W.
Lee for the 4th, H M. Loyless for th:
3rd, R. H, Fietcher for the 11tk and Mr.
Martin for the 12th. No one was select
ed from the Forgs., Each of the above
gentlemen will be the chairman in his
respective district. They were instruct
ed to call district meetings at an early
date and elect four men from each dis
trict to serve on the commitiee with
them.
After listening to a talk from Mr, Mar
tin, in which he said the populists would
have a candidate for every office in the
county and urged those present to at
tend the meetings and work untiringly
for the success of their pariy, the meet
'ing adjourned.
It was very noticeable that the meetirg
was not as largely attended as were thos
of two yeas ago, and that there was n
as much: epthusiasm -amoéng them as
there was in the former eampaign.

A Tribute From the Millen Metnhodist Sun
day School.
Among the friends we have loved and
the companionships we hava enjoyed in
this vineyard of the Master, there have
been none tha’ were nearer or more
prized than that of W, E, Christie. Only
v short while did we have him with us
in our blessed work, " He came to us a
stranger, but by his manly, ¢hristian
earing, pleasing address, his impressive
reading of the lesson text, and helpful
instructive talks from ‘Sabbath to Sab
bath, mase his way toour hearts and
embalmed himselt in the heritage of our
precipus recolicetions,
We knew and loved him as a lofty
christian character, and earnest instruc
t ve worker in the Sunday School, a
kind, faithful, efficient teacher in our
high school, and a courteous gentleman
in oyr society.
The trustees of the school of which he
was principal, and the entire community
18 wetl, received intelligence of his fail
ing health with prcfound regret. And
cheirishing the hope that rest and relaxa
ion from toil would restore him, the
board cheerfully ‘gaye him a month’s
vacation. And when—noble young man
caat. he was—he found that he was too
i eble to continue the work and tender
ed lxis resignation as principal, the news
was received as a calamity., Returning
w 0 his home in Dawson, we haye heard
rom time to time with sad hearts that
i-ease was slowly and surely doing its
d adiy work. With the premonitions
we have awaited in sorrowful expectancy
. e intelligence of his death. Yet when
it flished to ns over the wites it scemed
udden and so sad we were not prepared
to meet it, %
Wwith subdued hearis we lameni our
‘oss, vet we ‘‘sorrew not as others who
«ve no hope,’”’ for we belieye he is with
wse who ‘“sleep in Jesus,”’ and that
vhen God shall eome “in the sweet by
« by,” to make up His jewels, He
ill bring with Him in glorified and,im
aortal I'fe and blessedness cur lamented
