—The soft, balmy air of an April
day, wafted from the rose gardens of j
Gul, and the etherial blue that KiIda a
perfect day, were concomitant couriers |
ordered by Nature to render happy
those splendidly attired Ruests—dem
oiselle and matron alike who attend
ed the Literary Musical Club, whose
silting was at the elegant home of
Mrs. I,eon T. Mandeville on Thursday
afternoon. The charming hostess ap-
pared at her heat which, to say,
leaves ttie wide realm of conjecture to
paint a lovely picture. Beside the club
habitues, a number of invited guests
were present. The delicacies served
were lit food for the gods. The musi
cal programme was a splendid reflec
tion of the eminent musicians that en
gendered it, viz: Danse Caprice, Op.
2d, Mrs. W. C. Adamson; “Sketch of
liarili’s Life, ” Miss Eva Thomusson ;
“0, Say Not Love’s a Rover,” Miss
Ethel Carroll; “Monument Musical,”
Mrs. VV. C. Adamson; “There. Little
(iirl, Don’t Cry,” Miss Ethel Carroll;
Summary of Arts and Methods ot Art,
Mrs. Buford Boykin.
Mr. John II. Drew, a son of Vul
can however, one .who has never
forged a thunderbolt for his foster
pappy, the aforesaid patentee of the
craft, but who, prior to making his en
tree into this port, ran n shop in Talla
poosa has made a business engage
ment with Mr. Win. Latimer. Wel
come, Jack; it’s brawn and brain that
builds a town.
—Dr. and Mrs. J. D. Hamrick gave
a delightful birthday dinner to the for
mer’s mother, who came from Temple
on Monday to enjoy the collation that
celebrated her seventy-fourth birth
day.
— Mrs. Oscar M. Bledsoe had as her
guest last week her mother, Mrs.
Mary Baskin, of Temple.
Mrs. Susan Barrow and daughter,
Miss Davie, of Boar., Ala., were recent
guests of Dr. and Mrs. W. E. Johnston.
> Mr. B. L. Garrett, accompanied by
his little son, visited Cedartown Sun
day.
Our estimable young friend, Mr. P.
W. Reese, has accepted a lucrative po
sition at Cristobal, Panama. It is
gratifying to note that the young man
goes where the fruit of Uncle Sum’s
mint may be scooped up by the ladle
ful. While his going is a source of re
gret to all, there is one heart to which
it brings genuine heartache. Her
smile to him brings transports of joy—
his departure brings sadness to both.
Weep not, fair maid; your ‘‘honey
boy” will return soon with a cargo of
cash. Then the banns may be pub
lished, and then his coin may serve to
transport you on a hymeneal tour of
both the New and Old World. There
should be nothing more desirable among
the demoiselles than to make a happy
alliance with such a gentleman as my
young friend, Reese.
Senator Fred Wilson, who manipu
lates mines and mining stocks, is
among Carrollton friends this week.
He is recently from Savannah, and now
proclaims “headquarters in the sad
dle.” His presence at Savannah beto
kens that there may be some big finan
cial deal cooking.
Master Donald Jackson, who has
pronounced Demosthenean characteris
tics, and who has been spending the
winter in Florida for his health, is ex
pected home in a few days.
The following citizens, being desir
ous of ascertaining for themselves why
all Georgia legislators and political
big wigs do mostly congregate in At
lanta, were sightseers in that port
Monday; Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Bradley,
Mrs. J. C. Bass, Miss Dollie Kelly,
Mr. Chas. M. Tanner, Miss Lizzie Cur
tis, Mrs. Louisa Kennebrew, and Mr.
E. C. Bass.
The Smiths, like other people, have
an occasional idiosyncracy. There is
Dr. J. C., who formerly had a “vine
and lig tree” up at Sand Hill, under
which he was wont to worship. But,
alas! the traveling hug got in behind
him, and he left Sand Hill for Mans
field. He now complains bitterly that
there’s no Christian church at Mans
field, and that he hungers and thirsts
for his good old Bethany church ser
vices. It is reported that the bug is be
hind him again, and he’s coming back
to Bethany and Sand Hill. Come back,
brother; I don’t know a better place
than Sand Hill from which to begin the
journey to the New Jerusalem.
Information comes which causes
me sorrow. From a recent newspaper
item I learn of the death of Capt. W.
J. DuTey, of Galveston, Tux. Capt.
Jeff Uuffey was a native of Spalding
county, Ga., and was among the first
to enter the Confederate army. He
was u member of (jo. B, 5th Ga. Regt.,
which regiment was mustered into ser
vice at Macon on April 9, 1861. He
served through the war, and led his
men on many hard-fought fields. The
regiment was a part of the Western
army, and witnessed all the phases of
active warfare. We, the old comrades
of this gallant soldier, deplore his
death. We recognize in his taking off
the inexorable hand of Fate; but,
thanks to the beneficent Power that
controls our destinies, Capt. Duffey
was permitted to reach the ripe age
of 73 full of years, full of honors, and
with a handsome provision of the good
things of life. He was a bachelor, and
leaves three brothers and one sister,
Prof. Lawrence Duffey, of McDonough,
being one of the brothers. The writer
had the distinguished honor of being a
member of Capt. Duffey’s company,
and can testify that the Confederate
army had few braver or more patriotic
soldiers. Peace to his ashes.

—Ernest Barrett, the popular and
well-known Newnan tobacco drummer.,
was in the eviy Thursday shaking hands
and distributing samples of his excel
lent chewing and expectorating and

guage of the "Gold Coasters,” he’s a
"forty-niner,” and has been satisfying
the yearnings of the human protofarce
Carolina for upwards of a pair of de
cades.
-Our valiant friend and neighbor.
Bob Clower, who “brings his coal to
Newcastle,” invades the precincts tra
versed by Jesse Travis, and makes it

—Miss Eugenia Mandeville spent
Tusday and Wednesday with relatives
in Newnan.
— Miss Beulah Barrett, of Piedmont,
spent Friday and Saturday with Miss
Effie Johnson.
Hon. L. C. Mandeville and Mr. L.
C. Mandeville, jr., are visiting in New
York and other Eastern cities.
He is just an ordinary, burr-headed,
soot-colored "coon,” who, by dint of a
shortage in the labor market, was
brevetted janitor of the city’s public
buildings. In the scale of intelligence,
he’s an average ; in presumption, he’s
a nigger; as a detective, he’s got
Pinkerton’s pluguglies skinned. This
prodigy is named Bill. A month or six
weeks ago a “coon”—for want of a bet
ter name we’ll call him John Smith—
flew the municipal coop, because there
was a city warrant against him. The
chief made it known to Bill that John
Smith was wanted, and wanted bad,
and if he could get any information
about the leg bail absentee to let him
know. Bill took it for granted that
this information gave him full police
authority; whereupon he stealthily
procured the chief’s "nippers” and pis
tol from his desk and went gunning for
the Smith nigger. He found Smith at
his home in Sticktown, and ordered
him to throw up his hands as he
brought the bright steel barrel of the
chief's gun down on him, making
known that he was the chief’s deputy
arresting officer. Smith’s hands flew
up at the word of command, and Bill
put the "nippers” on and locked him
up in the calaboose. This high-handed
business outraged the feelings of the
colored citizens of Sticktown. They
got busy and began to stir things up.
When the grand jury met they had Bill
indicted for pointing a gun at another,
for making an illegal arrest, and for
illegal imprisonment. Bill now lan
guishes under these charges, and walks
the public road under bonds represent
ing a thousand dollars for his appear
ance before the City Court. Our jani
tor is now a sadder but a wiser man.
It is generally thought that when the
law has made its rap on his “ding-
dong” he’ll do something like twelve
months’ time with our zebra-striped
contingent.
—Major N. N. Lowery, a Confeder
ate veteran, died here Sunday. He
leaves two sons, A. C. Lowery, of Ft.
Worth, Texas, and H. G. Lowrey, of
Birmingham, Ala., and a daughter,
Mrs. Kate Outz, who resides here.
—Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Stewart, who
have been seeking the pleasures af
forded by a Northern climate and the
advanced civilization presented by the
people above the “line,” returned
home Tuesday.
Miss Fannie Merrell, of Calhoun,
is the guest of Judge Sam Brown.
—It’s an enchanting spectacle. It
reminds one of the metamorphoses
wrought by Aladdin and his lamp. On
the ground floor one sees rooms laid in
dominecker tiling;; walls so white it
would make driven snow look like it
had been bedraggled 1 fn a mudhole ; and
the bank’s strong-box, clothed out
wardly in a coat of plaster, but inward
ly reinforced with steel ribs, which re
minds one of a casemate bored into the
face of old Gibralter. Guess I’d better
not pursue this simile further, though,
tor, as I've only started, it would take
several good sheets to paint the pic
ture of the new bank building as it de
serves.
—Mr. John 0. Newell is erecting an
elegant residence on Dixie street.
—Mrs. Oscar Reese is visiting her
daughter, Mrs. Joe Tompkins, at
Woodbury.
—Altruism is the shibboleth for man
kind. Let us learn its signifiance and
put it into practical use. Clep Cook
has grasped the idea amidship, as the
sailors say. Clep is a shoveler of coin
at the Carrollton Bank, and he’s on to
his job ail right. A friend of his, who
also delves with' the gold of the god
dess, would marry if he had time to
turn loose the coin-bag at the mouth of
his bank’s hopper. Clep ’phoned him:
"Hold the fort, for I am coming.”
Clep, like the good boy that he is,
turned loose his coin scoop, and is now
holding down the Cardova job while his
friend is fixing to adjust the matrimo
nial harness. That’s the beginning of
J a reciprocity that the Cardovian will
repay, when Clep takes a notion to
work in double harness himself.
—After compelling the world to
] stand agape and take notice of his
many wonderful capers. I’d dislike
very much for Mr.. Roosevelt to run on
the barbed beak of the tsetse fly and
sleep himself to glory. The “setsy”
(I’ll call him as we did in South AfrL
ca.j is a most pertinacious insect.
When he makes up his mind to harpoon
you, you’d better prepare for the on
slaught, and break his auger whenf’he
bears down on you. I cultivated his ac
quaintance years ago, and know his
points genealogy, procreative ability,
and his feeding qualities. His pa and
nia are diptherous insects, of the stom-
oxyidae family and genus glossina. He

is not more careful about propagating
his kind than an ordinary bug. He de
posits his ovum on any putrid bit of
flesh or matter, and in a day or two
the hot African sun hatches the larvae,
which inf a few days become lively
“setsies.” He is fond of thrusting his
jigger into all quads, but he’ll lay
awake all night to bite a man. For
further information ask me later.

—His polygamous highness, Abdul
Hamid, Sultan of Turkey, is having a
bad time with the Young Turks, who
are making him walk about. It is inti
mated here that the Young Turks
raised the rucus with Abdul because
he had cornered the wife market. His
harem contains as numerous and as fine
an assortment of femininity as did that
of Solomon—some seven hundred. The
young roosters think it about time the
royal hens were being turned out of
the coop, and thus give them a chance
to husband some respectable unmarried
mah. But Turkish royalty of the male
line has ever had an idea that it was
entitled to pick and choice of the fe
male crop.
