EXERCISES AT AUDITORIUM
The Program Was Replete and the
President Delivered the Address.
Small Crowd Prisent.
The Daughters of the Confeder
acy celebrated General Lee’s birth
day here last Saturday with ap
propriate exercises at the college
auditorium, but we are sorry to
say that from a lack of patriotism,
a very cold day or some other
cause the people failed to turn
out on this occasion as they should
have done.
The daughters carried out their
part right nobly and the interest
ing program was faultlessly ren
dered .
On the right side of the stage
was a portrait of the peerless
Lee and over it at half mast was
suspended the confederate flag.
The occasion was designed fcr
the honor of the brave confeder
ates who bore arms during the
war, and the president of the local
chapter of the Daughters of the
Confederacy in a neat and appro
priate manner pinned the bronze
cross of honor on the four veterans
who were present. They were Dr.
T. K. Mitchell, J. G. Vose, J. S.
Porter and A. N. Robinson.
The daughters failed to secure
an orator for the day, but Miss
Mary Hutchins, the president, was
equal to the occasion and deliver
ed an appropriate address before
awarding the crosses of honor.
We trust that at the next pub
lic assemblage of this kind the
people will show more apprecia
tion by turning out and witness
ing the exercises. We cannot be
lieve that it is from a lack of pa
triotism.
Following is the program as it
was carried out at the college Sat
urday :
Chorus, “Bonnie Blue Flag.”

ates.”

QUEEN VIC. IS DEAD
Her Majesty Breathed Her Last
on Tuesday.
GREATEST SORROW IS FELT
The Good Queen Died After the Most Glo
rious Reign Ever Accorded
to English Monarch.
London, January 28. —Queen
Victoria is dead and Edward VII
reigns.
Her majesty quietly breathed
her last at Cowes, Isle of Wright,
at 6:80 o’clock, p. m., last eve
ning.
The greatest event in the mem
ory of this generation, the most
stupendous change in existing con
ditions that could possibly be im
agined, has taken place quietly, al
most gently, upon the anniversa
ry of Queen Victoria’s father, the
Duke of Kent.
The end of this career, never
equaled by any woman in the
world’s history, came in a simply
furnished room in Osborne house.
The most respected of all women,
living or dead, lay in a great four
posted bed and made a cruel
mockery of the fair girl who, in
1837, began to rule over England,
Around her were gathered al
most every descendant of her line.
Well within view of her dying eyes
there hung a portrait of the prince
consort. It was he who designed
the room aud every part of the
castle.
In scarcely audible words the
white-haired bishop of Winchester
prayed beside her as he had often
prayed with his sovereign, for he
was her chaplain at Windsor.
With bowed heads the imperious
ruler of the Germau empire and
the man who is now king of Eng
land, the woman who has succeed
ed to the title of queen, the princes
I now have three thousand dollars worth of clothing on the road
that added to the stock I already have will give Lawrenceville the
biggest clothing store in north-east Georgia. My efforts in trying to
increase my clothing and shoe business and carry it to the very pin
ical of success lias been what has kept prices down on clothing and
shoes and made Lawrenceville famous as a clothing market. I sell
you clothing from
Twenty-Five to Forty Per Cent
cheaper than other stores do, so it' you live in twen
ty-five miles of Lawrenceville it will pay you to come
to me to buy your clothing.
By buying in extra large bills, and for spot cash, and
from the best clothing houses in America, 1 buy them
about twenty per cent, cheaper than smaller merchants
do. Then I am willing to sell them cheaper than
other merchants, so I will really save you about forty
per cent, on your clothing. This mav sound loud to
and princesses, and those of less
royal designation listened to the
bishop’s ceaseless prayer.
All present reverently uncov
ered, and then shrill whistles and
the ringing of bells of the bicycles
waiting were the signals for mes
sengers to race to Cowes with the
news. In a few moments the
place was deserted. Simultane
ously mounted messengers, on
white horses, dashed from Osborne.
On their arrival at Cowes the cor
respondents found the news known
both at East and West Cowes fif
teen minutes before it had been
announced to those in waiting at
the gates of Osborne house. The
streets were already filled with
sorrowful crowds discussing her
majesty’s death.

SAFE BLOWERS Gj.T IN WORK
Three Safes Cracked In One Night at
Duluth.
Duluth, Ga., January 18.—Last
night this quiet little villuge was
slumbering away, as is her wont,
while in the very heart of the bus
iness part of the town professional
safe blowers were awake und m a
very substantial manner inquiring
into the financial standing of the
business firms.
The burglars were very bold and
when they had completed their
rounds they left the sledgp ham
mer and cleaver which they had
borrowed without his consent or
knowledge from the blacksmith,
in front of the last store on the
side walk.
If the safe blowers make a re
port to the commercial agencies,
Duluth’s merchants will be ruined
as not a cent was found.
D. E. BenLett’s safe had a large
section of its door torn ofi, but
not enough to enable them to open
the cash drawer, which contained
about |250.
The door was blown entirely off
of Rutledge & Mewborn’s safe, but
uo money had been left in it.
Knox & Lewis’ safe shared the
same fate and the disgust of the
burglars was apparent from the
manner in which the ptpers were
scattered over the floor—the emp
ty cash drawer, which was no
emptier than when they found it.
Lowe & Summerour had left
their safe unlocked, and thus
saved it from the fate of the other
three.
The town was very much excited
this morning, and it would have
been a bad day for safe blowers if
they could have been found.
Notice ot DisHolution.
The firm of Cooper & Robinson
is dissolved by mutual agreement.
The books and accounts will be
found in the hands of C. W. Coop
er, at the old stand. Those in
debted to the firm will please call
and settle, as this matter must be
wound up at once
