Odd Fellows’ Celebration. The Odd Fellows of Gainesville, ac- *eordihg to arrangement, celebrated the 83i^d anniversary of the order at their lodge rooms last night. Several speeches upon Odd Fellowship were delivered, good music was rendered and nice refreshments were served, the occasion being a very pleasant one to all who attended. Firemen's Barbecue and Picnic.. % The volunteer firemen will have a big barbecue and basket dinner the first week in May. This' was decided on by a meeting of the company Wednesday night. ; ■ • The program will constet of field day sports of all kinds, and some interest mg contests will take place. In the" afternoon a dance will be given at the Guards* armory; - H ; ; *V A big dinner will be served -free to everybody,Jand the firemen will have a gala day. II we were not sure that our clothes we: erage ready-to-weafat the same price—do y 0 say—money back if we are not right? When we say better we mean not 'only 1 ter linings, better canvas, better padding, be points that make up the life of the garmer the points that tell-^’Cause most clothes 1c you can’t tell anything about them until awhile—Then comes the test—and one t don’t care whether you test us on a. $10.00, $12.50, $15.00 • • . 5s the result will be—The best clothes on Eai ESTILL WILL WIN. It is generally, admitted by both Guerry and Terrell 6 supporters that indications strongly point to the nomination, by the -state democratic convention, of Col. J. EC. Estill of Savannah, for gov ernor. The‘reasons for this are as fol lows: No one of the three can didates will go to the convention with strength enough to be nomi nated on the first ballot, and it is believed that their vote will be about equally divided. - Terrell represents, or is supposed to repre sent, the polite al ring, liquor interests. Guerry represents, Program For Memorial Day. The following is the program which will be rendered at the memorial exer cises at 3 o’clock this afternoon at Hunt’s opera house: * 1. “America”—Audience. 2. “Sword of Lee”—Miss Lilly Jones. 3. “Bonnie Blue Flag”—Public School. * 4. “The Girl in the Homespun Dress”—Miss Mary Smith. ' 5. “Today this Hallowed Place? We Seek”—Quartette. 0. Memorial Address—B, P. Gail- lard. 7. Cover Them Over with Flowers’ —Quartette. 8. Delivery of Crosses—President of Daughters of the Confederacy. 9. “Dixie”—Quartette, chorus by the audience. All who -attend are requested to bring flowers, and after the exercises are over the audience will repair to the cemetery and decorate the old soldiers’ graves. AND the rail roads and the or is posing as the representative of, anti-rail road, anti-ring and anti-liquor. There is no middle ground be tween these two elements—no point upon which there can be any com promise or ’community otiaterest’ arrangement. It’s war to the knife, and from the knife to the hilt. And here comeB Estill, the South Georgia candidate, who rep resents no ring, no railroad, no corporation, no liquor gang, but stands out boldy upon the stitutibn and laws of the state as his platform, and with the people of Georgia at his back, says he will stand bv them, administer the affairs of state in an honest, business like manner, protecting alike the interests of the people and those with whom they deal; He oppresses nobody, fights no body, does not foam at the mouth and proclaim his virtues to the 'world and say that he will do wonders if elected, but only pledges the people that he will do his best as their chief executive. And this conservative man will win. Terrell cannot be nominated— that fact is patent to all who know anything of political conditions in Georgia at present. The people have already set the seal of their condemnation upon the political gang represented by Terrell, which has dominated the politics of this state for years. ‘ Guerry, cannot win, not because he is hot honest and sincere, but because he is too wild,]too erratic, too extreme. The combined strength of Terrell <nd Guerry will be two-thirds, of the convention. Estill will have the other third. Terrell’s support will never go to Ghefry, and Gherry’s support will never go to Terrell. Neither will be strong enough to do a d^rk horse any good. Both interests, because of his ability, conserva- fcism and lack of antagonism to either, are friendly to Estill, and one or the other, or both will go to. him and Estill will be nomina ted. Mark this prediction! And, just here, we want to say: Why split up, waste time, engender bitter feeling, all to no purpose? nai were touched upon m words of eloquence and in voices now ringing over some martial deed, now soft with tear-laden memories. ’’ The crush of visitors was the largest in the history of Dallas.
