EVERETT’S CAPERS.

Social equality.
That is the Baron’s ticket.
In all of his speeches, except
the one delivered at Dallas, R. W.
Everett has denounced the report
that he sat negroes and while men
•down to the same table at his own
residence as lies
Not only that but he has not
told the same story in every
speech.
In some places he said he sowed
no wheat or oats and in others that
he and his son did all the work in
that year, and again that it was
the thresher men who had agreed
to thrash his wh<at and board
theer own hands
The man who makes the affida
vit is a Primitive Baptist in good
standing.
As said above he did not deny
the report in Dallas where Mitch
ell lives and where he was ready to
face him, out said that Mitchell
•was a bad man for telling it.
The following affidavit jffells the
story;
Georgia, Paulding County:—
Personally appeared before the un
dersigned, James W. Mitchell, who
being duly sworn, deposeth and
says that about the year 1868 or
1869 he hired to R. VV. Everett, of
Polk county, Ga., (rhe present can
didate for Congress from the Sev
enth Congressional di?trict) to cut
wheat. That he, together with
other hands, began work in the;
morning and worked until noon of
the same day; when dinner was
announced affiant with two other
white men, to-wit: Bud Puckett
and John Hitchcock took their po
sitions at, the dinner table and be
gan eating, presently three negroes,
who were also at work ior the said
Everett, came in and took their
positions at the same table and
began eating with affiant and his
said two white companions, where
on affiant quit eating, arose from
the table, took his hat, demanded
a settlement and left the premises.
Affiant says that said Everett did
not eat at the >,.me table with him
and the other hirelings, having, as
affiant suppdkes, eaten before the
laborers arrived at >he house.

Epoch.
The transition from long, lingering and
painful makneaa to robust health marks
an epoch in the life of the individual.
Such a remarkable event is treasured in
the memory and the agency whereby the
good health has been attained is grateful
ly blessed. Hence it is that so much is
heard in praise of Electric Bitters. So
manv feel they owe tbeir restoration to
the use of the Great Alterative and Tonic
If you are troubled with any disease of
Kidneys, Liver or Stomach, of long or
short standing you will surely find relief
by use of Electric Bitters. Sold at 50c.

The field exists Here is a hotel with a
parlor half as large again an tiie east

king dining room, with two rows of

shout you can’t be heard at the other.
Twelve hundred people can down to

The servant system is peculiar to

ers like it. for it reminds them of old
times Northerner* do not object so

Toeve y hallway in the big liotel are
assigned a floor man and a couple of
chambermaids. They are not pert.
They are colored men and women who
learned the wars of faithfulness and .
politeness when there wan SSOO differ
ence between a house servant and a
Held hand in “Virginny." Most of
these servant* had “ben n-cornin' to
ole White, sail, sence liefo’ the wall."
They have their little rooms partitioned
off at tiie ends of the hulls or acmes
the stairway landing, and there they j
live and sleep so as to respond prompt
ly to the culls of guests
if my young lady, coming up from
the ballroom ut fifteen minutes before

three years later Mrs. Green married
the Hon. Edwin W Stoughton, United

satisfaction in contemplating the n<ri

wind blows. The shrub belongs to the
cactus family and is about three feet

These lumps, however, need but a

subsides. —St. Louis Republic.
