SMALL’S CUUSADE.
lie Is to Invade Georgia With n Monster
. Tent and NumerouH Lights.
Ati,anta, March 8. —Rev. Sam W.
Small, of Washington, D. C., assisted by a
number of prominent prohibitionists, is
preparing for a crusade in Georgia in fa
vor of prohibition. He is now having con
structed a large canvas tent capable of
holding ten thousand people. As soon as
the tent is completed, which will be in the
latter part of April, it will be shipped to
Atlanta, and in the early part of May a
two weeks' meeting will bo held, at which
a number of prominentprohibitionistsfrom
various parts of the country will be pres
ent and speak.
Among those who have been requested
to he present, nn.l participate in the cru
sade for prohibition are: Clinton B. Fisk,
of New Jersey, the probable next presi
dential nominee on the national prohibi- .
tion ticket; Gen. Neal Dow, of Maine; lu 8 d a co]
cx-Governor John P. St. John, of Kansas,
and Rev. Sam Jones, of Cartersville, Ga.
It is not known what could be accom
plished by holding these meetings in At
lanta this year, as there can be no election
upon prohibition until the two years ex
pire. but it is said by prominent prohibi
tionists hero that the idea is to work up
enthusiasm for the cause, and all of the
speakers being members of the na
tional party, they will urge those devoted
to the cause to cast their ballots
for the nominees of that party for Presi
dent and Vice-President. For some time
it lias been known that a State prohibition
convention was to be called for the pur
pose of selecting delegates to the national
convention, and for arranging an electoral
ticket, and it i» probable that these meet-
jngs are to be held with a view of further
ing the idea and to win our prohibitionists
who believe in local opton to membership
of the party a? an organization.
The mjitter of holding these tent meet
ings in Atlanta lias been kept secret, but
has been pretty generally known among a
certain element for some time. Professor
Ware and Mr. Sessions, of Atlanta Uni
versity (colored), are the main movers in
the matter, and arc making all the neces
sary arrangements for giving the invited
speakers a hearty reception.

Believing that you can throw some light
on the subject, we respectfully ask that
you will please give any information that
may be in your power.
Some parties in this section claim to
have the flag, but it is believed it was taken
along by your command at that time.
It will be a matter of interest to our peo
ple to have any information concerning it,
as it is probably tile only Hag captured by
the Confederates this far North.
We should be pleased to have any rem
iniscences of that event which you may be

In reply to the above we have been fa

TwM Excited Over the Developmei
tlie Gainesville Mystery.
Fort Worth, Tex., March 2.—'There
was great excitement at the union depot
when the north-bound train pulled it at
8:40 p. m.
Marshal Farmer had received a telegram
from Officer Evans, dated Rosenberg, to
the effect that W. L. Reason, the man
arrested for the fearful crime committed at
Gainesville on July 13th, had tried to
escape by jumping from the train and was
fatally inlurod.
As the train pulled in, Officer Evans
as standing on the steps of the baggage
car, and the posse of officers crowded
around, followed by scores of people in
waiting.
Tlie crowd was kept back, and in a min
ute the body of William L. Reason, on a
mattress, was taken out of tlie door and
borne through the crowd to a wagon near
by. Tlie deatli rattle was in Benson’s
throat nnd drops of .blood came from bis
mouth. The eyes were closed, and tlie
face on one side was blackened from tlie
severe concussion caused by contact witli
the.earth, where lie had jumped from tlie
train. He was quickly driven to the jail
and Dr. J. B. Mcla-an summoned, who
pronounced his injuries fatal.
Oflicer Evans says tlie attempt at escape
was made near Miilieim, a small station i.

You must have an outfit. That can be
got while waiting for spring to open. One
reason why so many boy hunters make a
failure is because they economize too much
in tlie outfit. Don't be stingy in buying
guns. It will be all the better if you have

think, by a member of my company
named A. K. Choate, pulled down the flag.
I caused it to be folded nnd placed upon
the sidewalk, instructing the soldier
to keep it and place it in tlie first
ambulance or wagon that camo along.
Soon after it had been thrown upon the
pavement, a young man, in citizen's dress,
came up nnd asked if lie might take the
flag from the pavement and hold it until it
was wanted. I told him if lie thought it
would do him any good he might take it
up and hold it. lie took the ting and stood
with it in his anus, holding it in front of
him. My duties, as commnnder of tlie
advance guard, called me to another point
and I left tlie young man nnd the flag witli
tlie sentinel near tlie square. Afterward
the flag was taken from him nnd placed in
an ambulance and brought away as a tro
phy of the invasion of Pennsylvania. It
was, I suppose, brought back to Virginia
and sent to Richmond; Imt of this I do
not know.
The young man above mentioned had a
scar of some sort on his face, ami I under
stood then, cither from him or the sentinel,
that he was an rx-snlditr, one who had
been discharged from the Union army after
having been wounded in battle.
Willi your permission, 1 will mention
that as tre entered tlie city, and when only
my little bnnd of infantry were in sight, a
latriotic lady came out on tlie stoop of her
mute on our left, as wo marched toward
tlie square, anil in a wild and vehement
mannerexclaimed: "I’m ashamed of York,
to quietly surrender to forty or fifty nasty,
dirty rebels, when there are hundreds of
able-bodied men to fight them I” I assured
Iter that there were several thousand just
behind my little hand, nnd that the men of
York were not strong enough to stop their
advance. A few moments later the Sixty-
first Georgia regiment “ordered arms" on
tlie pavement near this Indy’s lioflie, anil
witli a scream, she suddenly disappeared,
slamming the door ns she retreated into the
house.
I trust the good people of York will
bear witness that the men ot Gordon’s
brigade, who passed through their city on
that occasion, did so quietly, orderly and
without doing violence to anyone, and
without molesting private property in any
way. Very truly, W. II. Harrimin,
Formerly Captain Co. E., Thirty-first Geor
gia, Gordon's Brigade.
We might add that the conduct of the
men of General Gordon’a brigade on tlio
above occasion waa admirable, showing,
betides excellent discipline, that they nere
all, both officers and men, as gentlemanly
as they were brave, two strong character
istics of the Confederate soldiers, whose
bravery was undeniable, and shows that
the American citizens North and South
united in a common cause would be an in
vincible host. The bravery, fortitude and
heroic deeds of the soldiers of both nnnics
must ever remain the glory of American
citizenship. The scars of the fratricidal
atrife are healed; we are to-day a united
anil prosperous nation, with one flag float
ing over us—and that the “Old Glory”—
the stars and stripes of a reunited |>cople.

Evans following. When near tlie door
Benson limped to tlie platform and sprang
to the ground. Tlie train was going
nearly forty miles an hour. The engineer
was notified and backed the train. Reason
was found where he fell bleeding at the
mouth, his head cut and his left leg badly
lacerated.
“I have not slept for two nights,” # said
oflicer Evans, “but if you will wait awhile
I will give you tlie full particulars of how
we knew, iieason to be tlie murderer of
Miss Genic Watkins.” Later the officer
told the story: “Early lost year Reason
worked for me, and embezzled soiuu twen

lorror, July 13, Reason appeared in Fort
Worth. He was seen by several persons.
I was informed of it, biit could not find
him. In December, 1877, Joseph II.
Brown received information of tlie fop:
:ry of his name to a check for $tk)0

ie lookout for him. Early this year a
young lady in this city received* a’ lettci

county, and tlien I learned where he was.
I went to Caldwell, and found that lie had
been living with Mr. and Mrs. Bnmiss, his
brother-in-law and sister-in-law. Reason
and Burn ins married sisters. Beason had
gone to Mississippi when I got there, but

Watkins and injured Miss llostwick.
“I got tlie requisition from Governor
Ross on February ‘J for the forgdry charge,
and February 25 Governor Lowery signed
my requisition papers. Gn my way home
from Mississippi Henson told me tlie whole
story, lie had gone armed with a hatchet
with which to open the window to the

any jewelry or any other valuables he

when suddenly tlie girl lying nearest the

him in a startling manner. He for

do, whan a feeling rushed
on him to kill her. Ho stepped forward a
few- feet, brought tlie hatchet down on the
girl’a forehead, and the blood spurted out
over his hand. He does not remember
whether lie struck two or three times.
-Miss liestwick awoke and he struck her.
He would, he says, Iiave keen glad to liuve
been killed the next second. He went to
tlie windlw and climbed out. He washed
off the Hood and took the Santa Fe train
for Fort Worth, Imt staid here only a few
hours. He has been miserable ever since.
He says he has done a thousand things lie
can give no reason for. He thinks he must
have been crazy, for what lie had done lias
always injured him.”
Evans says Reason was very solicitous
that Ids wife of three weeks’ and his broth
er should not learn of this crime. Evans
says he has all the links in the chain and
the case ia a perfectly plain one. if the
rewards are paid Evans that were offered
at the time of the murder, he will receive
nearly $15 000.
A brUl history of the crime with which
Beason is charged is ns follows: About
midnight, July 12,1887, Miss Mamie Bos
tick, ot Gainesville, ami her friend, Miss
Jennie Watkins; of Dallas, retired. About
2 o’clock Mrs. Bostick was awakened by
the noire of a struggle in the young ladies’
room. Upon entering she'found Miss
Watkint and her daughter weltering in
their blind. Miss Watkins was struck
over tin right eye witli some sharp
instrument, general!}* believed to iiave
been a hatchet. Tlie instrument jieiietrat-
cd both frontal bones, tlie gash extending
almost entirely across the forehead. The
right eye was driven from its socket and
slic wa>- lying on her check. One arm was
fearfully lacerated.
There waa_ evidence of a terrible struggle.
Miss llostwick was wounded by the same
instrument, receiving one blow on the
right tempie, another under the right eye,
and the third completely cutting the upper
lip in two.
Miss Watkins died on the 15th and never
recovered consciou-ncss after being hit
Miss Bestwick finally recovered, but could
throw no light on the crime. A number
of arrests were made, but ill each rase it
was found innocent parties had been ap
prehended.
and alarm the tribe. By having some
extra guns along yon are sure of the whole
crowd, and the tribe won’t get onto you.
And don’t scrimp on bowieknives. It
would be an almost fatal mistake to start
out with only two. Buy four, at least.
They arc for use in close quarters with
grizzlies. Of course one bowic is enough
to kill one bear with, but you uay be at
tacked by four bears at once, and four
knives would then be fn demand. If you
don't get but tlirce bowies, make up the
deficiency with a Spanish stiletto or a
Moorish dagger. It will come in handy,
not only in a close fight, but to pick your
teeth witli at the camp-lire.
As lor dress, get the fringed buckskin, a
coonskin cap and regular moccasins. Such
things as shirts, collars, cuffs or handker
chiefs would be only waste luggage. If you
should appear in Aliles City with a collar
on it would give you away at once. No
body would suspect tliatjyon were the

All the champion terrors chew lnrge quan

I wouldn’t take a horse if I were you.
He would lie a great deal of trouble to
take care of, and most of your hunting

Anybody on horseback can make up faces
nt a grizzly and gallop off out of reach.
One great mistake which the average
boy makes is in planning to accomplish
too much tlie first season. Most of them
figure on whipping out about one thousand
Indians and twice that number of bears.
Keep your estimates down on a reasonable
figure. Y’ou feel ambitious and enthusi
astic, of course, but there is n limit to
whnt a boy cun do. Set your figures at
about four hundred Indians nnd three hun
dred grizzlies. This will lie almost two
tier day tlie year around nnd will keep you
from spoiling.

not only looks more business-like to do so,
but- tliat’s wlmt you’ve got a scalping knife
for, and if you can get about two hundred
scalp locks you can have the nicest door
mat you ever saw. it doesn’t hart a dead
Indian a bit to scalp him, and if you don’t
take it it will go to waste. It would be
well to Iiave a six-mule team follow
you at the distance of a mile or so to pick
itp and care for the rifles, knives, bows and
arrows and war clubs of the slain Indians.
These can be run East by car lots and aoid
at auction, and the profits will bay ail
your ammunition. Don't exterminate any
particular tribe of red men, but kill off
about one-fourth of seven or eight different
tribes. This will extend your reputation
as a Terror.
As to the best way of killing an Indian
shall not pretend tii advise. Some boys
prefer to shoot him, and others believe in
sticking him with a knife. If you can
catcli him in a deep gorge you might drop
a big Isiwider down on his head. Another
way is to catcli hint by tlie foot witli a
lasso and drag him over the earth until
liis spinal column is worn down to .a tooth
pick. In any event tlie fun will be all on
your side.
It’s a little different with the grizzly
hear. He won’t lie quite so terror stricken
over yonr sudden appearance, being built
on a iliflerent plan. Y’ou expect some
show of resistance, however, that you may
iiave opportunity to show your pluck.
Some of these pale-faced, weak-kneed boys
hold a grizzly off at long range and fill
him up with bullets^ but you will never
sec their wood cuts in a dirae novel. The
true Terror will wind his Mexican serar
around hi* left arm. hold it_ out for. the
bear to chew ou, and while tin. bear js
busy getting a meal, put the bowie Knife
into nim to the heart. Y’ou will be a
trifle nervous with your first bear, but af
ter that it will be as easy as climbing a
fence. Tlie claws should be separated
from the skin and sold in a different lot.
The latest quotation on bears’ claws is $1G
per bushel, and if you can’t average more
than two bushels |ier day you will still
make a good thing of it.
SUIC1D1-; AT SEVENTY.
A Chronic Litigant Thinks lie Has J.ive<I
Lung Enough, mill Swallows Poison.
Frnm the Clarksville Advertiser.
flit- usual quiet of our peaceful little
city was broken on Wednesday morning
by ‘lie startling announcement that
G. Y\. Caradine, an old man more than
70 years old, living near Aliev’s Chapel
Church, three miles from this place, had
committed suicide by taking a large quan
tity of strychnine.
Upon investigation, it was found that the
rumor was true. From'statements made by
members of the family, it seems that tlie
deceased bad bean low spirited for some
time past, nnd thought everybody was his
enemy. We understand that lie been en
gaged in litigation in tlie Superior and
other courts for the past forty years—never
being out of. some ease at a single term.
On Tuesday afternoon lie went to the
graveyard at the chapel, where lie bad two
wives buried, and selected a place to be
buried by their side—stating that he
would very soon lie buried there.
The family never thought about his
contemplating suicide, but ascribed this re
mark to the fact that he iiad been feel
ing unwell and was low spirited. Shortly
after returning to tlie house lie went to
the mantle-piece and poured something
out of a bottle into bis band, and placing
in bis mouth, swallowed it. A member of
his family asked him what lie had taken
and lie replied that it was strychnine. He
said lie had lived long enough nnd was
tired of the world anyway. The alarm
was at once given and everything done
that could be, but the unfortunate man
died in a few minutes. No cause for tlie
deed has been ascertained.
Let Hie Line Be Drawn.
Tom.the.Athens Banner. •
It is high time that the voters of Geor
gia were being aroused to the importance
of preparing for tlie inevitable conflict
over the tariff issue. This question ii to
day the great issue, and tlie men who ask
oflice from the people should be made to
declare themselves. «
It js important that every coBnty in
Georgia in selecting delegates for our State
convention should choose men who are
known to be in hearty sympathy witli tlie
)ieople nnd tlie policy of tlie ’ President.
Tlie few protectionists in Georgia arc now
hard at work, trying to manipulate delega
tions so as to give them control of onr
State convention, and thus enable them to
send to St. Louis a delegation in tlie inter
est of the monopolists. It will never do
for Georgia to send a protective delegation
to the national convention; it would be a
thrust at President Cleveland, and encour
age and strengthen the chances of Itopub-
lican success. Let the farmers of Georgia
and nil voters who a-e opposed to our
onerous and oppressive tariff system, that
is grinding the toiling millions into pov
erty, that a few manufacturers, bv extor
tion, may lioa.d up enormous fortunes, go
to their various county conventions, and
before voting for a man as delegate make
him stand up before Ids people and de
clare himself in favor of a reduction of tlie
tariff duties and against free whisky.
The lines must, too, be drawn on’ Legis
lature candidates. A conspiracy is now
forming in Georgia to defeat Hon. Alfred
IT. Colquitt for the United States SeDatc
and elect a protectionist in his
stead. Make your candidates, over their
signatures and in public print, declare
themselves on this issue, and nnlrsa tliev
are heartily in sympathy with both Presi
dent Cleveland ana Senator Colquitt, let
them severely alone.
Do not permit the fact of a candidate
living clever nnd popular influence your
vote. Y’ou must look to aomething higher
than mere personal preference. Y’on want
a man to represent you in the Legislature
who will promise to lend his aid toward
lifting from the shoulder* of our people
a burden that baa-been for so many years
crushing them to the earth.
How any farmer with ordinary intelli
gence can advocate protective tariff is in
comprehensible to us. It cannot possibly
benefit him, but, on the other liniut, makes
him imt a serf for the manufacturer. Wo
•ay to our agricultural friends, do not be
caught napping when the day arrive* to
select delegates to tlie State convention or
memberi to tlie Legislature.

A Georgia Drencher In Florida.
From the Do Kunlak Critic.
The sermon of Rev. Dr. Lee, delivered
at the amphitheatre Sunday evening, was
the theme of conversation yesterday In tlie
home* and hotels of DcFuuiak. 11 is con
sidered the event of the Ai-omihly. Never
in the history of the Florida (.'liautauqua
was an audience more completclv captmoJ
and carried away. Many of the leading
ministers of the nation were present and
they all pronounced it a discourse of great
power. As a mere mental production it
wns a wonder, evincing great philosophic
ability coupled with the finest humor and
the must wholesome common aense. Tlie
Florida Chautauqua Assembly manage
ment claims the honor of discovering Dr.
Lee. This is tlie first assembly to which
lie was invited to lecture. After that lie
was invited by Dr. Vincent to Chautan-*
qus, N. Y’., and by Dr. Deems, to Key-
East, N. J, He is how known all over tlie
nation aa one of the leading preachers of
the times. He is the coming attraction
for assembly platforms.
