ready for trial, but was told by Justice
Brown that the case had been continued,
and that he was not at liberty to do this,
for the reason that his lawyer was not

Turner, betraying auger and excitement.
“He was not here at 10 o’clock,” said

CARNIVAL OF FLOWERS.
A SPLENDID SUCCESS IS SCORED IN AT¬
LANTA, GA., BY A NEW THING.
Some of the society people of Atlanta,
Ga., organized battle a floral festival, termina
tcry in a with flowers, The
feature which attracted the most atten¬
tion was an ox-cart. “The Georgia
crackers grow (esthetic” was the legend
boi-re aloft upon a streamer above the
equipage that was the most unique of all
those upon the streets. It was a typical ox¬
cart, drawn by two little spotted oxen.
On the cart sat a Georgia cracker, smok¬
ing his pipe. He was “geeing” and
“bawing” his oxen ns if to the manner
born, occasionally glancing back with
paternal affection Upon the members of
family who were on the cart with him.
i here was about the appearance of all of
the “crackers” a something vividly sug
^esiiveof make-up, but it was an excel lent
makfe-up, the whole being true to life.
The testhetic part of the picture came in
the decorations of the oxen and the cart.
The wheels of the cart were festooned
with wild flowers of different hues.
Each oxen had bunches of flowers
on its horns, and on the end of its tail
and garlands of flowers about its body.
The whole made a really pretty scene.
Nobody knew cither the cracker or any
member of his family. They followed
the procession from afar and created a
great deal of merriment along Peachtree
street,
