A Snake in the Kitchen.
Esq. Mills said that while sitting out
] on his front veranda enjoying a cool
I and pleasant breeze, almost uncon
scious of what was transpiring, all at
once he heard dish pans falling, buck
ets being upturned, pots and kettles
vieing with each other, to see which
; could make the most fuss, and the
| screams of his wife. On entering the
kitchen, as quick as possible, he found
, a snake coiled up in the kitchen enjoy
i ing himself. Esq. Mills despatched the
j reptile as quick as he could, after which
i all was calm and serene.
An Interesting ConverKationallat.
It is interesting, as well as amusing,
to converse with Mr. Suggs’ parrot,
I You can hear it say "‘Polly wants a
I cracker” or call the chickens at any
i time, but in passing you can hold an
intelligible conversation with it.
Mr. Suggs procured it while it was
young and has taught it the English
I language in a short time.
It is decidedly particular with whom
[ it converses and. you can’t persuade it
I to talk third partyism or anything but
Idemocraticism.l
Perry-Rainey College.

The buildings are good end substan

raised, audit can vie with other col

the Perry-Rainey College, a student
must be well trained from primary
arithmetic to calculus ;from Latin gram

forced and they require promptness,,
punctuality and attention to all that
go to make any one perfect in a moral
as well as mental way.
There are two literary societies, one
consisting of young men known as the
Alpha Sigma Literary Society, and the
others composed of young ladies known
by the name of the Callioptan Liter

There is a musical department pre
sided over by Prof. Pirkle. •
Board is exceedingly cheap; it can
be obtained for six or seven dollars per
month. Tuition is also very cheap, it
being two dollars per month in the
collegiate department and one dollar

student can go one term at this college
for SBIOO, which is as cheap as good in
struction can be procured in this coun
try. They also have a reading room,
where the students can read on the is
sues of the day.
The enrollment this term was two

Very Remarkable.
| One of the most remarkable things
we have ever heard of occurred in Mr.
T. R. Powell’s family last Sunday.
Mr. Powell played with his ten
i months-old baby for half an hour, and
!it never seemed in better health or
i livelier. Finally, Mrs. Powell took
the baby to put it to bed. In dressing
it she found a needle sticking in its
stomach. The eye of the needle was
all that could be seen of it, and it was
with some difficulty that Mrs. Powell
extracted it.
The remarkable thing about it is the j
fact that the baby did not cry while the
needle was piercing its stoiiueh, lior ,
did it even wince when ttuVußdb^M^

The democrats of t he district are doing

carry a majority for the democratic
nominees.
Charlie Brand made a rattling speech
there last Monday, and, notwithstand
ing the had weather, he had a good
crowd of attentive listeners. Whenev
er the pure democratic doctrine is ex
pounded and the record of the present
administration is fairly discussed, the

present, and made a short talk, which
was very well received by the audience.
One of the objects of the meeting
was the organization-of a democratic
club. This was done by electing K. M.

A Large Crowd At llosohton.
Hon. C. H. Brand spoke to nbnut SnO
peopleat Hoschton last Tuesday. There
were a large number of populists pres
ent, but they failed to get a speaker to
represent them. It had been an
nounced that either Col. Mahatfey or
J. Newt Twitty would be on hand, hut
neither came, and after extending an
invitation to any populist who might
desire to speak, Charlie had to proceed
by himself. He struck from the shoul
der and was wildly applauded.
It was one of the largest political
gatherings that has been held in this
section, and resulted in great good to
the party.
Charlie Brand at Trip.
K hit ok Nkws —Please allow me to
give a few particulars of the great suc
cess of democracy In our neighboring
town. Trip, and also of Charlie Brand’s
speech there last Friday.
Trip is situated five miles below Law -
renceville, on the Covington road, and,
nit hough not so large as some other
towns in the county, can present as
many true and devoted democrats as
any small town in the grand old state
of Georgia.
On Friday last, despite the dark,
muttering and rainey clouds which
floated overhead, nearly 300 democrats
sat as our dear friends who slept on
the battlefields of Chickamnuga, after
the deadly grape-shot had done their
work. When, above the infernal
shouts and yells, and after the shot had
penetrated many a southern heart, the
enemy said, “Lips, he still!” and our j
dear ones' lips were still. Such was
liken to the effect produced last Fri
day, the atltli ultimo, when Hon. N.
Bennett, ex-representative of Gwin
nett, introduced lion. c. H. Brand, the
next senator from this, the 3fth dis
trict, to a hand of nearly 200 true and
loyal democrats in the academy at
Trip. Mr. Bennett commanded, the
throng to he silent while the distin
guished speaker would explain to them
the record of the democrats in con
gress. This they did, listening atten
tively, except when the speaker would
lift them to that pitch of enthusiasm
which brought cheers and applause
from feet, hands and lips.
We can safely write that Hon. C. 11.
Brand is a devoted friend to democra
cy, and we believe the height of his
ambition is to support its principles.
We could not have chosen a more able
and efficient representative than he,
and if he could have his heavenly
crown bedecked wit h ns many stars as
he will have votes in the ballot-boxes
of Gwinnett, DeKalb and Henry coun
ties, he could walk the golden streets
I with the prophets of old.

Martin's Is All night.
The editor had the pleasure of a trip
to Martin’s district last Saturday. We
went out there with Captain H. W.
Rhodes, arriving at Mr. W. .1. Long’s
hospitable home just in time for din
ner. After partaking of a good dinner
prepared by Mrs. Long, we went to the
district court ground, where the demo
cratic cluli had a meeting. A good
crowd was present, and the commit tec
men reported that about one hundred
names had been enrolled on the club
lists.
Captain Rhodes made a speech on
state questions and in the interest of
his candidacy for the legislature. He
was listened to with close attention.!
His speech had a happy effect, and
strengthened the party.
At the conclusion of < 'uptain Rhodes’
speech the writer made a speech on na
tional questions.
Just, as the meeting adjourned Col.
L. F. McDonald came up, and, being
called on for a speech,responded brief- !
iy-
M r. W. .1. Long, president of I lie dub,
says he thinks there will be no trouble
in defeating the populists in Martalus,
and a great many of the leading demo
crats there think the majority will he
two or three to one. The democrats :
are working hard, and we know they!
will succeed.
It was decided at the club last Satur
day to have a grand rally at Pleasant
Hill school house on the third Saturday
;in August,at two o’clock, p. m. Several
speakers will be on hand to address the
people. Every voter in Martin’s dis
trict ought to be present on that occa
sion. If it is possible to secure it, the
Lawrenceville band will be there to
furnish music.
