Mr. Guerry is up to Atlauia beard ing the lion at home. “The Islanders” was taken too seriously at home and the John Butlians bavn’t gotten over their state of mind yet Thera is a wide chasm between Taft and taffy on the question of popular appreciation. Mist of peo ple had rather have taffy. The railroad magnates are put ting ifs and ands in the way of Can dler about the Atlanta depot build ing. They are getting so upity, Good sakes! Jeffries the champion sluggers o.‘ the world and Fitzsimmons the c-x-champion are going to slug again for glory—and scads—in which scads will play the principle part. Prince Heury is coming and Jim Jeffries has the grip, thinning Tow er Bob Evans will not be able to puil off a prize fight, nor any other kind of a sham fight for the roya; visitor. The weather this week has given us a variety exhibition. Snow, sleet, rain wind, sunshine, springtime, ail played a part. At oue time tiu world was etiolated with the hair pallid sleet, encasing the trees as a general make up in the ice roie. SenatorPialt’s son, of Connecticut, gets of Roosevelt a U. S. judgeship It is proper to say the senator from Connecticut did not go up and whis per in the president’s ear. In fact, by way of abundant caution the. senator would not recommend bis own son. Hurrah! for the Atianta Journal which on February 18th last euter ed on its XX year. It is a great pa per and is an honor to Atianta, to Georgia and to the South. May it grow ou and up and out until no pent up continent shall contract its powers. The Augusta Chronicle published a beautiful tribute to oid Mammy ’L za Eiiiott who died there last Tuesday. Who can take the place of the old mammy when they are ail gone? None When old Mis'i aud old Mammy goes we shall see the last of the old South. Some of our exchanges say that Col. Joe Terrell knows a live wire when he sees it, meaning to give that as a reason why he does not want a joint debate wiih Guerry We don’t see much margin for de bate, but, sic’im, Joe! He is mak log tun of your red mule. Go in and debate the mule. The Oleomargerir.e factories are still not at ail downcast. Hanna is in the senate and the “Butter bill” that passed the House will not squeeze through that august body.11 the Oleomargerine stock (tha> doesn’t give butter) was out of said august body there might be some chance of suppressing the Oloomar gerine creameries. We guo.-s it i.« not. The Crumpacker design to he crease representation in certain Southern states that have aisfran chised the ignorant vote, principal iy negroes, failed most signally in a late Republican caucus. It will end perhaps in a committee invesliga tion. Mr. Crumpacker isyoungyei and will hnd that interference wit the South’s political conditions is two edged sword. His hackneyed scheme may erect a buncombe fac tory but hardly on a paying ba-is. “The News is in receipt of a com munication taking The True Citi zen to task for a recent criticism ot a lyceum attraction. The editor ol this paper did not see performance in question and as the editor of our contemporary across the way is good judge of such matters and a careful w riter the authornf the com munication will have to excuse u from publishing it.” We acknowledge the compliment paid us acd recognize fuily the jour nalistic courte u y extended and say to our brother of tie News it is just the way we should have treated him. THE CRITIC’S DUTY, The work of those who offer to en tertain others by mu.-ie, lectures, re citals, reading or otherwise, charg ing money as a compensation due them for it, are subjects of legiti mate criticism. It is the duty of :i journal to protect the public, espe cially its o®n community, if it can, fr''tn impositions, and on ihe oilier hand to give to the deserving due praise and credit for deserving and creditable work. We are very likely in our criticism to differ with gome and so far as we are concern ed It shall be an honest difference always. Any such difference prop erly expresse * we wfll bn glad to publish in older to let the other side be heard, our object being alway- to get at the truth. An intelligent audience, such as our city can give, deserves projection and all know if Is the duty of its journals to afford It to the extent of their ability though not always a pleasant task HOW IT STANDS. fr is rather amusing to see the manner in which Germany has laid hare fhe attitudes it arid Great Britain held towards the United States in the Spanish war. Wheth er either was our friend iu the clai'h wrh Spain, it seems from re cent developments that the English war minister virtually admits what Germany charges, and explains that the ads of Pauaceforte were unor- thurizsd. This is severe on the am bassador, yet a scape-goat is neces sary. But it eeems that, the thing is not to stop at that, for now Spain bristles up over the incident and j w <nts to know w ho was playing fa-t : and loose with her. It is a diplo ma'ic mess that may have a serious side, but at the same time no less an amusing one. “THE LITTLE DUTCHMAN.” There is vast satisfaction in know ing ill j re are some few Americans, real democratic Americans, in tlu- Uniied Srates_remainirg and one of these is Representative Wheeler of Kentucky. Since lie made his speech in which he so terrifically arraigned England and Germany and our own flmkeyism '.here seem 0 to be more than a few’ real Americans left. He called the prince from Germany who is on the pve of arriving in this country on a visit—having first invited himself and then gracecusiy accepted the invitation—he called him the Little Dutchman.This name will go down to posterity no doubt with him, and 'bos - curious folks who are paying court to him as a part of European royalty, wiii be bowing to (hat sou briquet as well as prince while do ing 'heir genuflexions It causes the judicious to grieve out at the same time there Is some satisfac tion in believing enough Wheelers remain to keep the republic in line until he goes back and some satis faction also in knowing our flunkien will have their un-American reflec tions to bother them—if they have a’«y reflections. No democratic Americau cares what prince or king comes over here, out let him leave his royalty be hind packed away in camphor. I' will keep until he returns and ihen he can enjoy hi mself like one of our 80.000,000 sovereigns, the only true, unfettered kings of ear'll. MILLEN. Correspondence Citizen. Mis. Charles Leon Harris enter tained her music class very pleas antly at a Progressive Musical on Valentine’s night at the home of Dr and Mrs. C. V. deLoache. The in- yitatious on dainiy lyre shaped cards were the first intimation one had of this charming entertain ment, and the musical scheme was sustained throughout the entire ev ening. There were four tables for the contestants, each decorated with a centerpiece of intricale nee dlework and a bowl of pahnettoes whose delicate fragrance filled Ihe room. The questions of a musical romance supplied the 1st table and were written on minature violins of white card board decorated with bows of baby ribbon. On the se cond fable were pictures of ihe most noted composers, trie names to Lre written opposite the numbers At the third table on four sheets of card board were pictorialiy illustrated he titles of well known pieces of music. The 4th table was supplied with the nam°s of wei! known com posers with the letters jumbled on miniature pianos AH seemed to enter into ihe spirit of the contest ! and the questions were answered • vvi'h rernuikab e accuracy. There wai a lie among four of the contes j taofs who answered correctly all : but two questions. Prof, Harris in ; a few well chosen words delivered j me prize which was a lovely guitar • shaped b x filled with fancy can- | dies to Miss Clifford Parker who i d; e w the lucky number. Refresh- merits were served after the contest was oyer and all returned to their homes with griite'u! recollections : of Mrs Harris for her very plea- ant evening. Those present were: Mr and Mrs. W.

Miss Juno Cadden has returned from a very pleasant stay in Savan nah. The friends of Miss Fannie Wal lace have been much grieved over her recent spell of illness at Monroe college, but will iearn with pleasure that she is rapidly improving, and that no operation for appendicitis was necessary as was at first feared. Mr. R. N Berrien, Sr. of Atianta, is with us this week He is a de servedly popular gentleman and is always gladly welcomed in our town. The death angel which has been hovering for several weeks patt ov er our little town remored from our midst on Sunday afternoon Mrs. Hayward Lester. Mrs. Lester has been quite feeble for some time past and her friends knew it was only a matter of time until she was called to that better world “whose dust is gold and pavement stars.” Mr. and Mrs. Lester have been residents of Millen since the town was in its in fancy and were active members in the M. E Church here until failing health and old age pi evented their regular attendance and their man tle fell upon younger shoulders. Mr. Lester has the sympathy of the en tire town in this great sorrow of his old age. He has the consolation however of knowing that only a few more s'eps in the march of Time will bring him too to the* gate Ajar ” Mrs. Lester had all her children a» her bedside except Dr. Lester, of Texas, and they were untiring in their devotion and tender care. Mrs. Miry Lester.of Waynesboro, spent Sunday and Monday in our town, called here by the death of her mother-in law, Mrs. H. Lester 31 rs. Julian Lester, of Macon at tended the funeral of his grand mother here on Monday. Julian has many friends in this town, the home of his boyhood who wish him every succpss. Miss Cassie Johnston is able to be up after her recent illness and we hope to see her out soon. Hon.

Had it no! been so misleading would have giv en it no attention But being the only physician of the city that saw the child excepting Dr. and Dr. Ford. I ieel that it is somewhat re flecting on me and an answer is de manded from me. I wili not take the case up as fully as I am ac quafnted with it; will only state the symptoms given me and seeing the desquamation on the fingers as well being told by one that is almost as near as the mother to the child that if had a case of Scarlatina; upon that I based my diagnosis I saw the child in its four h week; Dr. Ford in its sixth,! saw desquamation (peeling around its fioger nails) while in another week, before the city physician was called had plenty of time to have completed and dis appeared. Why was Dr. Ford -not reported correctly ? He did not say the child never hed scarlet fever, but if it had ail symptoms had dis appeared. I say which is oft°n thr case. The misleading Doctor who has been guilty of things of this kind in the past could not refrain from it now’. Where do we see him mis leading: First trying to mislead ■ me of the most reputable physicians Ruike county ever had in trying to get him to pass an insur ance risk where he was interested. Wnere next do we hear of the mis leading M D ? Making the State of Georgia believe she had a worthy son and an ex Confederate seventy years old, decrepid, etc , worthy of a state pension. Where next do we hear of the misleading M. D ? With the same subject the lollowing year so highly recommended by the same M. D. An insurance company granted a policy. He then was a first-class risk and very much younger. J w ill only go one more step in his misleading and let him rest. Why did he not ssy the srquela of -evere scarlet fever was traceable -ome times for months; yes, years, and again ! u some severe cases we had no sequelae. Also in some mlhl cases In a few weeks all traces would disappear. Our text books teach us the tim° of quarantine should be k°pt up from four to seven we. ks. Why do they take such a range? Simply because some cases have no sequelae and are entirely well in three or four weeks; while others take longer to get through the desquamation stage. Had the doctor not gone through such a tryirg epidemic a few years ago no mention of the following would have been made, but it does seem to the writer that his own ex pprience with this severe epidemic would have taught him that the same disease in different patients often had different sequelae. Should this have benn a “simple case of Rubella” we are also taught that its a contsgeous eruptive fever, prevails independently of measles <>r scarlet fever. If is ushered in dif (erently.

B. McMaster Feb. 19tb, 1902. an era of selfishness in llie world’s history. Following the example of a tyrant, his adherents in the Isle of Sicily vied In oblit erating from the tablets of their men ory every vestigi of that noblest principle of manhood which recognizes man’s fealty to his fellow. Damon, a senator at Syracuse, by his opposition to Dionysius in his at tempted usurpation of power, was placed under sentence of immediate d.atb. Pythias, Die time-tried friend of Damon, be sought the tyrant to grant him ar. spi'e that j he might bid a !ast farewell to those he j loved. The dential of this request was fal lowed by the most striking exemplification of pure friendship that has ever illumined the pages of history. Pythias offered bim- self as a hostage for Damon while he should visit his wife and child once more before the execution. The chains were taken from the limbs of Damon and placed upon those of Pythias. Damon was soon at his home; he bade his weeping wife and little one a tender and affectionate farewell, and called for his horse in order to return in time to redeem his pledge to Pythias He fin„s that his horse had been killed by his servant in order to prevent his return, but he secures another and flies to Syracuse. in the meantime Pythias had been tempted to escape the doom which seems to threaten him; but. no, he insists upon the terms of the hostage beiDg carried out to the letter He exclaims—“It is sweet to die for those we love!” The time is so fast passing, and still Damon does not appear. The block is erected, the crowds are gathered iu the square, the funeral procession is formed, and Pythias is led fortli to seal ids friendship with his blood, With soldiery courage and iron nerve he bravely wends his way to die for his friend In that a*ful moment tire clatter of horse’s hoofs is heard in the dis tance, and soon Damon falls exhausted at the feet of his friend. This display of man hood and true courage led captive the tyrant’s heart, who, remitting the death sentence of Damon, sought admission to their friendship. This bright spot on the pages of the 1 ast was the corner stone upon which the founder “builded wiser than he knew.” The society- first took shape on the evening of February 19, 1SG4, when its founder, Justus H. Rath- bone, gathered about him iu the city of Washington. D. C., a number of gentlemen and explained to them the foundation principles of the prosDOsed Order or Knights of Pythias, the objects of which were stated to be Friendship, Charity and Benevolence. The proposal meeting, with the unanimous approval of those present, they subscribed to the obligation of secrecy, and proceeded to name the society, elect officers, and adopt a ritual. For a time tIre society h-.-d only a limited memebership, no special effort hav ing been made to ex’end its influence; but the beloved founder, Bro. llatlibone, lived to see enrolled under Us banner almost three hundred thousand members. He died iu December. 1889, leaving behind a monument that will never perish. Of him one has truly said: “ He founded an Order whose principles are as old as humanity,as sweet as loye, and as lasting as the ages ” The Supreme Lodge of the Order has adopted the following as the official. Declaration of Principles. should be found Onalifii-ations for Membership. An applicant for the ranks of Knighthood must possess the following qualifications: He must he a white male.

S. Schwarzweiss. ■^TASl ED.—Hickory, Dogwood and Per- Pytbian Knighthood had its conception in Die exemplification of the life test ot true friendship existing between Damon and Pythias. Friendship, or mutual confidence, being tiie strongest, bond of union between man and man, and only existing where honor has an abiding place, is adopted as a foundation principle As the ideal Knight of olden times was the personification of all the higher and nobler attributes of man’s nature, the candidate for Knighthood had to prove himself worthy of acceptance by those who valued friendship, bravery, lion r, justice aud loyalty. TlieOrderof Knglitsof Pythias—bounded iu Friendship, Charity aud Benevolence, which it proclaims as its cardinal principles, strives to gather into one mighty fraternity worthy men who appreciate the true mean ing of friendship; who are cautious in word and act; who love truth, who are brave defending the right; whose honor is un tarnished; whose sense of justice wi'l pre vent, to the best of tlieir ability a personal act 6r word injurious to the worthy; whose loyalty to principle, to family, to lriends, to he country, aud to the constituted author ity under which they enjoy citizenship, is undoubted; and who, at all times, are pre pared to do unto others as they would that others should do unto them. Hunks. The secret work ronsists of three divisions, called ranks, which are symbolical of the three principles of the Order, namely. Friendship, Charity and Benevolence The three ranks-Page, Esquireand Knight are separate,but it is necessary to be initiated into ail to come to a just appreciation of Die extent and scope of w hat this society com prehends and teaches. Tiie intention ol this body is to disseminate and teacli to ait man kind, who are worthy and will listen, tiie doctrines and precepts that by to doing give to those principles their true meaning and widest application. The instructions given in Die several ranks are a part of the essential eleine nts that go to make up a sicret society and they are conferred upon all who become members, that they may come to a correct understanding ol the basis upon which the Order was Guilt. Friendship Is ihe mystic tie that brings and binds our members to gether, “A friend loveth at ail times, and a brother is born for adversity.” A true Knit lit is a friend of his brother Knight, and will aid him in all worthy efforts, but will not uphold him in the violation of law or disregard of the rules that good society pre scribes. Charity is the perfection of fiiendship. It is that part of the better man that enables him to always construe the words and actions ot others in-heir least unfavorable iiglit; without it friendship is of little worth Deal not harshly wjth the errors aud mis takes of those about you, for our deficiencies but prove tiie weakness of ah humanity. Benevolence inu-t naturally follow aud be part of the practice of the principles just stated. Our ceremonies, prac tical in application, grand in language, and rich in poetry, impress upon members 01 the Order friendship, not only for another, but for all mankind, teaching the followers of its doctrines practical charity for fallen humanity. Tiie benevoleuce of this Order and its mem bers challenges admiration of tiie entire world, and merits the gratitude of the widow and the orphan. The principles of this Order are a part of man’s nature, and lie needs just such an organization to educate and develop his understanding of those principles. Like all other endowments of man. perfection and enjoyment of them, can only be attained by cultivation and dl cipiine. The advantages of this Order are within the reach of all worthy men.
