Gen. Gordon in Perry.
Though it was business that
brought Gen. John B. Gordon on
Wednesday of .last week, he was
treated as a special gttest of hon
or.
By a special committee he was
met at the depot, and in a car
riage escorted to the Perry Hotel,
where he was most hospitably en
tertained. Mine Host Tuttle was
especially courteous, and Mrs.
Garrison Served a dinner that
was replete with Thanksgiving
features The table was espec
ially attractive, and the viands
most palatable. Several citizens
of the town sat at the table with
Gen. Gordon.
The purpose of Gen. Gordon’s
visit to Perry was to deliver his
famous lecture “The last days of
the Confederacy.”
From the hotel Gen, Gordon
walked to the court house with
Mrs. F. M. King, president of
the Houston Chapter Daughters
of the Confederacy, preceded by
Prof. Driskell of the Luceum
board and Mrs. L. S. Touusley,
Secretary Daughters of Confed
eracy.
The decorations of the speaker’s
stand were made by officials of
the Daughters of the Confeder
acy, Mdms. F. M. King, E. L.
Dennard and L. S. Tounsley.
Confederate flags and bunting of
rod, white and blue covered the
stand and wall at the end of the
room, flanked by vaoes of mag
nificent roses and other beautiful
flowers.
At about 2:20 p. m. Prof.
W. W. Diskell introduced the dis
tinguished orator, in languagage
alike commendatory and elo
quent.
For two hours the famous wor-
rior, statesman, orator, held the
closest attention of the audience
of about two hundred people,
There were a number of veterans
from all sections of the county.
The lecture was all that it has
been represented to be, and in its
delivery the orator controlled the
emotions of his hearers, compell
ing laughter,tears, enthusiastic
applause.
After, the lecture, Gon. Gordon
held an impromptu reception,
greeting all who came to him with
cordial smiles and hearty hand
shakes. The younger girls were
kissed.
No occasion in Perry ever gave
more genuine pleasure, though
the local Lyceum board paid for
the lecture about $20 more than
thev received from the tickets
sold.

The service was opened by a
song by the choir, “Praise God
from Whom all Blessings Flow.”
Then prayer by the pastor, Rev.
Albert S. Dix.
The sermon, by Rev, J. W. Sim
mons, pastor of the Methodist
church, was based on the 148th
Psalm; The discourse was strong,
plain, convincing, giviug a multi
tude of reasons why the people
of this country should give
thauksgiving and praise to God.
The service was concluded with
prayer and the song, “God be
with you ’till We meet Again.”
There were quite a number of
visitors in Perry, and there was a
Thanksgiving dinner at every
home.
A few young men and boys
went out hunting during the mor
ning, but in the main the day was
spent almost as though it was
Sunday.
At the usual hour, prayer ser
vice was held at the Baptist
ohurch that night.

Death of Mr. Anderson.
Mr. William J, Anderson died
suddenly at his home at Fort Val
ley last Friday morning. We un
derstand he was attending to
some duty about the house, when
he began reaching out with his
hands, and would have fallen if
some one had not caught him.
He died almost instantly, and it
is thought apoplexy was the
cause.
The funeral Saturday was at
tended by a largo number of rela
tives and, friends.
Mr. Anderson was about 60
years of age, had lived at Fort
Valley his entire life, and by all
who knew him was held in the
highest esteem.
Surviving him are a devoted
wife, four sons and two daughters,
and with them their many friends
sincerely sympathise.
