Our place has been under some ex
citement for several days, caused by
some colored thieves. They entered
the dwelling house ef Mrs. Carrie
Wade and took therefrom one hun
dred dollars in cash. Mrs. Wade
carries her money from the store to
her dwelling at night. The negroes
were aware of that fact and followed
her and Miss Ronnie Wilson home.
In a few minutes they missed the
money. Suspicion rested upon one
Alex Avery. Our efficient marshal
Mr. T. M. Patton and Jib Ilanie went
to work on the case. The aforesaid
Alex quit work and so did two other
darkies —Bill Waters and Talmer
Moore. Our marshal and Mr. Hanie
found that the negroes were spending
money quite freely, so they went to
Avery’s house and gave it a thorough
searching. In the fireplace and under
the brick they found $35.25 in silver
and one of Mrs. Wade’s pocketbooks,
and a small cloth bag.
The negro claimed that the money
was his and not Mrs. Wade’s, and
that he did not know how the pocket’
book came there. By that time the
boys had gathered until quite a crowd
has got around the callaboose. Some
one proposed to get a rope and give
Alex an airing if he did not produce
the balance of the money. After the
rope was procured the knot adjusted
and a convenient limb found Alex
told his wife to get the money. She,
M. M. Buice, Hon. J. N. Coggins and
Colonel C. R. Faulkner went back to
her house and found in the potato
patch $25 in green backs in a snuff
box. After that Col. Faulkner talked
to her till she went with aim to a
cabbage patch near the house and
found buried $24 more carefully
wrapped up in a cotton rag, making
in all recovered $84.25.
After the money was found Alex
weakened and confessed the taking,
and implicated the other two. He
says that Bill pulled off his shoes and
he, Alex, held them until Bill went in
the house and got the money. He
says that Talmer watched the front
door.
Warrants were sworn out for all
three of the negroes, and they were
carried before His Honor M. B. Car
ter and bound over to the superior
court of Hall county.
Bellton is an unlucky place for
thieves. They can’t stand much here
without getting caught. When any
thing has been stolen every man,
woman and child that is large enough
goes to work to catch the thief, and
thus far they have been successful.

The protracted meeting at Beaver
dam church commenced on Friday
before the second Sunday, and con
tinued a week. It is said to have
been the best meeting that has been
conducted at Beaverdam in several
years. There were twenty-seven ad
ditions to the church, and the baptiz
ing near Thomas’ bridge was well
attended last third Sunday.
Rev. C. T. Burgess conducted a
protractee meeting at Blacks Creek
church commencing on the third
Sunday, There were six additions-to
the church, five of whom were bap
tized near Embrey’s mill on Thurs
day morning. The one who united
with the church after baptism was
anministered will be baptized on the
third Sunday morning in September.
Mr. I. L. Ginn will soon be ready
to move into his new dwelling, at
which his two eldest daughters will
be delighted.
Mr. William Vaughan and family,
from near Jug Tavern, have been
visiting relatives in this community
recently.
A certain young lady in this vicin
ity seems to like the Rev. Mr. Mintz,
but we think her sister likes his
brother better.
The young men will have an excuse
to call at Mr. Lord’s now, grapes are
ripe. The teacher at Red Oak has
an invitation to stop and partake
of the grapes and watermelons occa
sionally, and we believe she generally
accepts, especially when the young
Lord is at home.
Mr. D. C. Chandler’s little baby
has been sick but is better.

Communicated.
The trustee stockholders of the
Farmers Alliance exchange met at
10 o'clock a. m. in the chamber of
commerce, Atlanta, Tuesday, 18th,
and by appropriate committees and
every other means that could be de
vised thoroughly investigated the
1 looks and character of the officers
and managers of the Alliance ex
change.
The stockholders were nil satisfied
that J. O. Wynn’s shortage will he
made good, and that the Alliance will
not lose a dollar.
President Peek’s character and
financial standing were thorough in
vestigated, and he stands as clear as
the noon day sun.
The exchange has already effected
a saving to the farmers of Georgia of
fifty dollars for every dollar’s worth
of stock originally purchased, and the
Alliance is stronger to-day in its
indorsement of the exchange than
ever before. Wynn’s shortage has
not shaken the confidence of the Alli
ance one particle, and the investiga
tion of Colonel Peek’s character has
resulted in establishing his honor be
yond a doubt and strengthening the
faith of Alliancemon with the ex
change.
At 10 o’clock a. m. Wednesday the
19th instant the State Alliance was
called to order by President L. F.
Livingston, and before the Alliance
was properly organized Rev. Mr.
Gibson, of Oglethorpe county, tried
to throw a fire-brand into the organi
zation by rising to a question of per
sonal privilege, and failing to state
the question and leading off in a
speech in regard to the celebrated
Northern caucus, was ruled out of
order and ordered by the chair to sit
down. Governor Nortben trLd to
sustain Mr. Gibson and claimed that
the president had no right to order
him down, but the president declared
them both out of order and bade them
be seated. At the request of the
governor, Gibson appealed from the
decision of the chair. The question
was put and the chair was unanimous
ly sustained amidst deafening yells.
President Livingston’s moral char
acter and his relation to the Alliance
was closely looked into, and not one
charge can be brought against him
as a citizen or an alliancempn, and
he was unanimously re-elected to the
presidency. The body was a unit
in its actions, and if Mr. Livingston
had proved a traitor to the Alliance
cause he would have been defeated.
The Alliance is on the increase—
gaining in influence and popularity
every day.
Efforts were made and plans ar
ranged to organize the Citizens Alli
ance in Georgia. Every citizen not
eligible to membersnip in the Farm
ers Alliance can become a member of
the Citizens Alliance.
On my return home Friday night,
a prominent citizen of Lula accosted
me with the following: “Doc, lam
surprised at your stupidity and the
ignorance of you fellows for re-elect
ing old Peek to the presidency of the
exchange, and I do hope Peek and
Livingston will steal the last dollar
you put into that thing. What are
you fellows going to do anyhow?
We have been watching you for sev
eral years and have seen nothing yet
that you have done. If you want
more money why don’t you go to
work and make something to sell ?
then you can have money.”
Now I would like to say to my Lula
friends and all others of a similar turn
of mind, that the Alliance is a big
thing, that it is growing bigger and
will keep on growing till every de
mand in the Ocala platform has been
heeded and granted, and if my Lula
friend does not step up on the plat
form with us and help secure these
demands he will yet he so unfortunate
as to see all the government appoint
ments filled by alliancemen,
