say I have been most ably assisted
by our worthy secretary. She ba j
faiihfuliy and patiently filled every

is an arduous one.
I think we have every reason to
be gratified wiih the year’s work.
The meetings have been well at
tended Almost every month there
has been one or more applications
for membership. The crowning
work however, in my opinion has
been the organiz Rion of lh9 Chil

been a success in every respect un
der the careful guidance of Miss

SHOOTING NEAR MIDViLLE.
A Tribute to Dewey and Schley.
Mr. P. TJ. Smith is Serious!? Wounded by
Mr. J. J, Pops.
All we can Irani of the sboo’ing ;
of Mr. P B Smith by Mr J. J Pope;
near Midville. is substantially that;
which was published in ! he Angus-1
fa Chronicle of the 4th instant:
The shootiig occurred last Fri
day night a' the home of Mr. Pope
who gave the account himself after
the shooting occurred at his house.
It seem* that Mr. Smith lost his
barn, stables, corn, fodder and live
stock by fire Friday morning. It is
not known what caused th9 firt ;
but that night Smith went to Pope’.-
house after bed time alter be had
been to Mrdviile. He was under
the influence of liquor when he got
t> Pope’s h' use, according to the
statement published, and after
talking about, t he fire he got into a
quarrel, he fl rarished a pistol and
threatened Pope, coupled with
much abuse. Pupo could not paeity
him, and told Smith to leave his
house. He got out of the room and
turned to shooting at Pope through
the door. Pope obtain, d a small
plstoi that belonged to his wife with
two cartridges and returned the
fire. Smith was struck with both
hots. He left >-evereiy wounded
The Cit zen tried to get a ’phone
message through to Midville yester
lay to learn Mr. Smith’s cord tiou,
and to gel a statement from hi n
f the affair, but failed. However
visitor from the neighborhood
nfiid he would recover. It is a sad
affair for both gentlemen are good
citizens.
No appeal to a courtof justice
Is needed by our l:ero now,
To place the wreath of honor
Upon his soldier brow
The feme achieved at Santiago,
Has won him the world’s applause;
W hich the fiery daris of envy.
Can ne’er deface—and the cause—
For which he nobly offered his life-blood
s a common cause to-iay
And while dear to the heart of the blue;
It tliriltsthe heart of the gray.
ATTORNEY'S SALE.
For the South gave freely her manhood
In all its flower and prime
And that they never shirked duty.
Is chronicled in deeds sublime,
Worth Bagley our brave young Ensign,
(First niartj r to Spain’s blind greed,)
Showed the blood once shed to enslave
a race.
Is now shed that a race might be freed
And in “Maryland’s crowning glory,” ’
Our brave and noble Schley
We have proved our bonny Southland.
Was willing to fight and die.
That the “Stars and Stripes” of our
nation
Might forever and ever wave.
O’er a country whose sons have made
her
The home of the freeaud the brave.
In the seething of the political cauldron
Some would blacken our hero’s fame
Eut our Nation’s Pride—George Dewey
Gives back his honored name,
And we how to American manhood,
This colossus in peace aud war
Who can uphold a brothers’ honor—
For honesty to him is law.

NOTICE.
Communicated.
Shell Bluff, Ga, Jan.8th, 1902.
Jf?. Editor:—As many of our
friends are being spoken of for the
legislature at the approaching elec
tion, let me ask our friends of the
county if they will allow the old
66th district a member this time;
and as that member I propose ihe
name of Mr. VV. J. Hatcher, Sr.
Mr Hatcher, “now o’ri man Bill”
was one of the Boy Soldier^ of ihe
Confederacy. Some few are left who
knew him best in those days. He
is well known in the county as one
who has stood flat f oofed for the
Democratic party, “he is just a solid
man,” the man for the place. What
say our friends o! the other districts.
Wiil you give the old 66th one
chance and rally to the support
of our friend and elect Mr. VV. J.
Hatcher, Sr., for the next legisla
ture? Old 66th.
Election at Oxford.
Emory College, Oxford, Ga ,

to day the following elections were
made: Mr. Wm. A. Herrington, of
Girard, to succeed Mr. Joseph L
Dillard as.dux of Freshman, aud
Mr. S. P. Speer, of Starrsvillp, to
succeed Mr. John Daniel, of Atlan
ta, as basket hall manager, in Soph
omore. Mr Dillard and Mr. Daniel
did not return after the holidays,
Frankl in-Kell j.
We take th« following from the
Wiregrass Blade: — Sunday after
noon at 2 o’clock, at the residence
of Hon E. Warren in Bobtown,
M ss Ada Pearl Franklin, of Hprn-
don, was joined in holy wedlock to
Mr. H. Kelly, «<f Dublin. Rev Alexis
D K* ndrick, pastor of the Baptist
church officiating in his most im
pressive manner.
Mrs. Kelly is a very handsome
woman, and possess many lovable
characteristics. Mr. Kelly is one of
Dublin’s most popular citizens.
It was whispered that the affair
was somewhat a Gretna Green mar
riage, as Miss Franklin was spend
ing the holidays the guest of Mrs.E.
Warren. At any rate the marriage
was a surprise to her friends.
The happy couple left on the after
noon train for Dublin, their future
home.
Bold Sneak Thief.
There was an attempt at robbery
by a stieak thief on Wednesday
night, who entered the house of Mr.
H. Jeff Davis in this city. The thief
came in through the front door aud
was heard by some one who' called
out. Ee ran into the parlor and
closed the door. Mr. Seabie Jones,
of Herndon, a visitor at the house,
got a nistol and went into the par
lor. The feilow had raised a win
dow and jumped out just as the par
lor was entered. Mr. Jones ran to
the window and fired 3 times in the
direction he was fleeing but did not
stop him. No clue to the perpetra
tor of this attempt at robbery iD
such a bold manner. Mind how you
leave your doors open unless you
are standing near with a gun.

famous “Ten Nights in a Bar-room”
with its wonderfully realistic truth
fulness. It indelibly imprints upon
the mind of every child a moral les
son an equal of which is yet to be
presented. To make this an impres
sive moral lesson, in addition to
one of the foremost of all scintillat
ing amusement features of the sea
son. Manager Palmer has put out-
tbe most complete scenic pro
duction ever given the public. In

the very best talent has been
secured snd pleasing specialties will
