The Ladies’ Memorial Association of
Brooks county, aided by those who feel
an interest in tho cause for which they
arc laboi ing, will give a Festival at Quit
man on Friday evening, the 3d of October,
in Hilliard's Hull, over the store of Mr. H.
H. Kayton.
Everything to eat, from the most sub
stantial to the Holiest and daintiest dell*
01101™ will be prepared in every variety,
and sold at reasonable prices, the con
sumer paying only for what is colled for.
The object of the undertaking by the
Memorial Association is to raise funds for
the completion of the work they hove now
under headway upon the cemetery in Quit
man, in inclosing and beautifying this
sacred resting-place of our dead, and more
especially the graves of our fallen heroes.
Admission to the Festival—Adult*, 25
cents; children, 15 cents.
Mies. Randolph Avaka.
President L. M. A. B. C.
We favor most heartily any laudable en
terprise that has for its object the im
provement of our town, and especially the
enclosing of the oeifietery, and beautifying
the resting-places of the dead, to perpetu
ate their memory. And especially do we
approve, and most cheerfully will we con
tribute our little mite to beautify and pro
tect from the ravages of tho beast the
graves of our fallen heroes. But while we
are in favor of any and every legitimate
plan by which means can be Obtained for
the purpose of inclosing the cemetery
find beautifying it, we think, in all candor,
the enterprise should be properly named.
The purchasing of additional grounds,
the inclosing the old nud the new, we do
not think belongs to Memorial Associa
tions. Tho old grounds now contain hun
dreds of citizens, white and black; the
new grounds arc to be used for future
burials. Now, the question is, what is the
declared object of the Memorial Associa
tion ? Isn’t it to perpetuate the memory
of tlie fallen heroes by inclosing and beau
tifying their resting places. And if the As
sociation l>e incorporated for that purpose,
and that alone, have they the right to
use means collected for that purpose to
enclose acres of the graves of citizens
dead, and provide burial grounds for citi
zens now living? The few soldiers that
sleep there were strangers here, their liv
ing friends are far away; they cannot at
twilight visit their graves, but they can go
with their flowers and their tears to the
graves of our loved ones that sleep near
them. They have everywhere inclosed
them, they have every where made them a
special object of commemoration; they
meet once a year to commemorate them
and decorate their silent homes, believing
that tfieir loved ones are eared for in other
cotftitries. The dead in our little neg
lected cemetery have their living friends
here, and they are able, and it is love’s
sweetest duty, to inclose and adorn tlie
little silent city, and then visit and remem
ber them. Then, ns citizens, let ns lmild
our cemetery and beautify it., and within
the general iitelosuro let the friends of the
dead inclose them according to their
means, tastes and affections. And let the
Ladies’ Memorial Association observe
strictly the object of their organization,
ami inclose and ornament and make attrac
tive. tlie little square assigned to the dead
soldiers of the lost cause. We arc glad,
even at this late hour, that the ladies re
member that we have a few soldiers buried
in our midst, and although they have long
been neglected and seemingly forgotten,
they have finally determined to care for
them in the future. Nino years have
passed, and they are not inclosed; seven
years had passed, and there was nothing
to mark their resting-place except graves
sunken below the level of the ground, mid
but once had flowers been dropped upon
them. More than two years ago a stran
ger came, a wounded soldier, who had not
forgotten the privations of a soldier’s life;
soon the sunken graves were filled, and
little fresh mounds sprang up, and they
have been kept so ex*er since, and to-day
they look os fresh as when the sol
diers first became their tenants, and the
strangor’s (wounded soldier’s) money is all
that has ever been expended to perpetuate
their memory.
Now, we are willing to do all we can to
improve the cemetery; and then all we can
do to aid the Memorial Association will be
done in a spirit of the greatest liberality.
But wo cannot beliex-e that it is right to
obtain money, as a Memorial Association,
to lie applied to another and a different
purpose, to wit : purcha.sliiug the
ground and building a town cemetery.
It does not come within tlie perview of the
original design of memorial organizations.
We think the Memorial Association,com
posed of ladies, is a most lovely and com
mendable organization; but to purchase
land and build cemeteries, we think,
ought to be done by an organization of
men. There is too much labor and res
ponsibility for ladies to assume. This, we
are satisfied, is an unpopular position to
take, but if it is true wo are willing to en
dure whatever odium may attach. In dis
cussing this question we do not feel that
we have a right to seek the popular side
of a question, right.or wrong, but to seek
for truth, and express it. We are in favor
of festivals, fairs, or anything else the
ladies may adopt to obtain funds to en
large tlie cemetery and inclose it; but ob
jections are very obvious to raising money
for that purpose under the sacred name of
Memorial Association. The benevolence
and beauty of the organization is lost
when the purposes are changed.
The stranger may conic, and Memorial
Festival may attract him, and liberally
may he give for that object. Then is it
rightto tute it to ornament tlie graves of our
own dead, or buy laud to bury those that
are still living ? We know that the object
of the ladies is pure, but they, too, may
err in blending tw o enterprises of a dif
ferent character under tlie one most popu
lar name. If to commemorate the fallen
heroes we obtain money, let us use it for
that purpose and none other.
A Brutal Outrage.
On Wednesday evening last about
Bp. in., Miss Mery Pattman, an estima
ble and industrious lady, living on her
little farm some two miles from Quitman,
was brutally assaulted und beaten in her
owu house liy a negro man, who approached
and struck her with a bludgeon or billet
of wood as she stepped to tho door to
hang something on the outside, repeating
his blows, inflicting various wounds of a
most ghastly character upon the head, and
oue upon the right shoulder, and others
upon the hands, and then the villain left
her alone, supposed to be dead. She luy
where lie left her, mangled and bleeding,
until the following morning, when she was
found in a helpless condition. Dr. E. A.
Jelks was immediately summoned, and
every attention shown her. Here is Dr.
Jclks’ statement:
“Miss Mary Pattman received seven
wounds upon sculp, from two to four in
ches in length, down to skull; sculp torn
up in several (daces; contused wound upon
both hands, and one upon right shoulder;
wonmls of a very serious nature.”
We hope the blnek demon may be nr
rested and justice fully meted out to him.
We have not been able to learn, ns yet,
who is suspected, but have learned that
the party is known to the much injured
lady.
Since writing the above the supposed
guilty party Ims been arrested and lodged
in jail, but says he is able to prove an
alibi. l>r. Jelks has some hopes of Miss
Futtman’s recovery.

Tin- Storm.
The storm of last week was the most
destructive ever known in this section of
the country. Mr. Cullen Hester assures
us that his losses, including his gin-house
and screw, with his crops of cotton and
corn, aside from the immense destruction
of his timber, will not fall short of $2,500.
Mr. Hester is an energetic man, and will
soon regain his losses. Many others suf
fered greatly, but none, that we have heard
of to the extent of Mr. Hester.

How to Tell Shoddy.
A voice—“But how can you tell ‘shod
dy’ people, Mr. Perkins?”
This way, my friends. When a strange
family arrives at our hotel you must watch
them closely. Divinity puts up certain
infallible signs to distinguish the ignorant
and vulgar from the children of culture
and virtue.
First —If the lady comes into the parlor
with a diamond ring on the outside of her
glove, it is safe to ask her how much she
gets a week. (“Hear, hear!” and several
ladies put their hands under their pa
niers.)
Second—lf Providence erects a dveil
mustache over the mouth of the man, it is
to show that he is a gambler or a vulgari
an. (Cheers, when two Americns Club
men, a gambler, or four Plug-Uglies from
Baltimore, put their hands over their mus
taches. )
Third—lf when that new family enter or
leave a room, the gentlemen rush ahead,
leaving the ladies to follow, there is some
thing “shoddy” somewhere.
Fourth—lf the man presents the ladies
to the gentlemen, instead of vice, versa,
and they all shake hands on a first presen
tation. then you may know thev hail from
Oil City.
Fifth—lf, when they go into dinner,
they do nothing but loudly oruer the wuit-
BTfrtH'pnud, and tnlk about the wine, you
wmnake up your niiml that they are the
first waiters they have ever had and the
only wine they ever drank. If they pick
t.lieir teeth at the table, or take out their
false teeth und rinse them in tlie tumbler
(a voice, “Shoot ’em on the spot”)—yes,
my friends, I say that to their teeth.
Sixth—lf, when the gentleman sits in
the parlor talking to a lady, lie doesn't sit
up straight, but sprawls all over the sofa,
puts the soles of his boots on tho lady's
dross, on the furniture, or wipes his shoes
on his own white linen pantaloons, you'd
better refuse an introduction to him. (Ap
plause, when eight young fellows, who sat
with their legs radiating like the wings of
a wind-mfll, or sprawling one foot cross
legged in the open air, whirled themselves
right side up.)
Seventh—lf the Indies in that party
whitewash their faces, redden their lips,
block their eyebrows or bronze or yellow
their hair, just you think this is another
sign which Providence puts up so you can
shun them. Enamel mul dyed hair are
social beacon-lights to enable you to keep
off the rocks of Cyprift. Just you keep
away from such people, for they are wolves
in sheep’s clothing.
Voice from a young lady— “But wo want
to look beautiful, Mr. Perkins.”
But this will not make you beautiful,
my children. Any sweetliesrt who is so
shallow us to take whitewash for the hu
man skin, or rouge for the rose cheeks of
nature, is too much of a saji'it ad to make
a good husband, and if he is smart enough
to see through your deception, wliy ho
will surely leave you iu disgust, (Applause
by the gentlemen, while several ladies
wiped their faces with their pocket-hand
kerchiefs. )
Eighth—lf, when this family get into
their carriage to ride to the lake, the
young lukies appear in gaudy colors, throw
ovbr their laps a bright yellow and red or
blue afglian, nud the coachman wears a
gold lint band and a sprawl-tailed yellow
livery, with velvet collar, and liolds brass
bespangled horses by white reins, you
may know that the owner keeps a livery
stable, and that this is his first carriage.
(Voice —“Hit. ’em again, Eli.”) No, ray
triends, I’ve said out.
1 —
The sexton of St. Joseph’s Cathedral at
Vienna,being a man of extraordinary nerve
and boldness, was accustomed to stand on
the pinnacle of the tower whenever the
Emperor made grand entrance into the
city, and wave a flag us the pageant passed
by. When, however, Leopold, who had
just been chosen Emperor of Frankfort,
was about to enter the city, the loyal sex
ton, still anxious to be true to the old cus
toms, but finding that, years had told
against liis nerve, declared that any one
who would take liis place successfully
should win his daughter. Gabriel Petcr
slieim, who was disliked by the sexton but
beloved of the daughter, at once accepted
the offer, to the disgust of the sexton, who
then arranged with two villains to close
the trap door of the upper stairway while
Gabriel was above, thinking that, as the
Emperor was to enter toward evening no
one need be the wiser, and tho lad must,
certainly fall before morning. Tlie two
accomplices did their foul work, and their
intended victim, finding his way down
again, was then confronted with the alter
native of clinging to the slender spire
through a cold winter night, with liis feet
resting on a surface hardly ten inches in
circumference, or of precipitating himself
to the pavement at once, and thus ending
the matter. Gabriel was of Arm
will and hardy constitution. He clung to
the cold column till morning. But the
story goes that Ids curling locks were white
as snow, and liis wonted rosy cheeks were
yellow and wrinkled, and his eyes, before
so bright, were now sunken and dim.
One night of horror had placed him forty
years nearer his grave.
4.*-
Singular Breach of Promise Case.—A
caße of breach of promise was brought to
trial at Lincoln, England, the other day,
in which the plaintiff was a man. Miss
Jenkinson had promised to become Mrs.
Smith, but according to the jilted Mr.
Smith, it was she who made the proposal,
and actually “engaged two young men to
act as groomsmen. ” Mr, Justice Pollock
hoped that “some arrangement might he
made” which would save him from trying
the case, especially as Miss Jenkinson said,
when the writ was served, “I’ll marry him,
if lie makes me, and when I’ve married,
I’ll make him live like a toad under a bur
row.” The judge, still anxious to pro
mote the match, said to Mr. Smith: “If
the toad had the proper spirit, it could get
from under the harrow.” But tho plain
tiff, at the last report, was implacable, and
the case w*as still going on.
