T How Should a Young lady Hfer'Suncfay Beaux'? \ orily, verily I say unto you that she who hath more than ono Sunday beau is doomed to gnawing heart¬ aches and her pillow fecleth not downy to her head. Her waking moments are ones of anxiety and dread, for she wotteth not w hen the Other follow will walk upon the scene and lay waste the mortal hab¬ itat of tho other one’s soul, and her sleeping moments are^filled with dreams of homicides, suicides, and other things 3 too numerous to enu- . I, y t, morale without a fixed salary. She goeth forth, in the morning, beautiful in person and habiliments, her face wreatlipd In smiles that w ould not he cut of place if h,ung up on the walls of paradise, an$ she sailh unto herself: “I will show my power to-day.” Thy son of Adam by her side drinketh in her smiles like a thirsty person swallow- 6th aqua pura, and saith unto him¬ self: “1 am simply elected!” But he wotteth opt, of. the other fellow, vvhpse inning conjeth in tl;e evening, and hip feelings are as light as air after a light'wood kn,<v.r, floater. He liveth for a Vwi*£ speRi in a fool’s paradise, then the dc« 0 Ji 4 ‘ment tear- e,th the strings-cvG his Iteayt and he longs to be at rest in. sonic quiet country grayp.vard,. with a gourd- vine to mark the place where his dust is getting tlife repose that he failed to get in life., Ariid it is the evening- of tho same day. Th&ofhter Sunday beau com- eth diked .oji.t ip,finest cloth and his face, wears no, shade of gloom, for lias she not Welcomed him with ten¬ der. words, and warm handclasp? For several hours the music of her rippling laughter and the soft, melt¬ ing tones of her voice fill his sou! with an ecstacy no words can ox- tiyess. And he wondereth unto him¬ self why fortune should so favor him. He hears the mock-bird’s roundelay in a nearby tree, but the song that Love is singing in his heart surpasseth all other melody so far that he has ear for none but it, and he surrenders to the w ild delir¬ ium he cannot control, and offers his fair idol his heart and hand, on¬ ly to be—rejected! Is she a flirtV No! 1$ she tickle? Not a tbit of it! lias she.not encouraged her .Sun¬ day beaux to hope their love would be returned? - N ot at all. 1 ter conduct has been that of a Mndor-he^‘ lW ’,, considerate vfoman, who would rattier receive »dian iuilict pain’ 1 and if the courte- ous atfcntioits' khoWn her guests w taken tVir a warmer feeling, by them, it is. their misfortune, not her fault. It, is a misfortune to any young lady to have two beaux at the same time, and she cannot hope to escape moro or 'less mental disquietude, but bo long as men admire beauty and goodness and graciousn’eSS in wo- men, just so long W'il'l this disagree- able feature of cpuVtship continue On Thursday!

Hi la Presence by Two Negroes. At Saffold, a railroad station in Early county, on Thursday night of last week, the agent, Mr. Ogletree, was robbed by two negroos, and hi a wife outraged in his presence by each of them. The approach of a freight train frightened the fiends and they departed, else doubtless ihnrder and arson would have been added to their crimes. Bainbridge, Ga., July 24.—“Kid Jim,” one of the Saffold negroes, was located this afternoon in a cabin near Pinckard, Ala. He is guarded by about one hundred of his race, who say they will defend him against any attack, A posse of one hun¬ dred men heavily armed left Bain- bridge this evening for the cabin, aud say they will take “Kid Jim,” dead o.i alive, guard or uo guard. There will be a double lynching in West Baiabridge early tomorrow morning, unless something unfore¬ seen occurs. Two more members of the band of robbers, murderers and rapists are in the hands cf a determined posse of whites. One of the captives is Charles Mack, the companion in crime of Louis Sammin, who was lynched yesterday. It was Sammin and Mack who outraged Mrs. Ogletree in the presence of her husband at Saffold, one holding a pistol at the head of tjie husband to prevent his interference. Mack was captured at Iron City by a" i white man named Cordell. Cordell tried to get his prisoner through to jail, hence secreted him. A mob of several hundred country people met Cordell and asked the whereabouts of his prisoner. He declined to say. A rope was quick¬ ly put about his neck and he was given ten minutes in which to give up the rapist or Ins life. He then told where the negro was. In a short while the crowd had Mack. While arrangements for tho lynch¬ ing were in progress a telegram came from Iron City that another member of the gang had been cap¬ tured. It would require several hours to get the new prisoner to the scene, so it was determined to postpone the execution of Mack until tomorrow, at which time it is proposed to have a double hanging for the purpose of impressing other possible members of the gang who are not yet known. Before Sammin was lynched he confessed and said that he and Mack had robbed the Ogletrees, and that both had outraged tbe woman. While they were committing their crimes, he said, six others, whose names ha gave, were on watch out¬ side. Mack is said to have con¬ fessed. corroborating Sammin’s statement. The men, he said, were banded together for murder, rob¬ bery and rape. Five of the negroes named, including Sammin, are now dead, and every indication favors the death of two more tomorrow. The information is that, the pris¬ oner from Iron City will arrive at about 2:50 a. in. and the lynching will probably occur shortly there* .after. Blakely, Ga., July .‘if.-**-Sheriff Slack informs the correspondent that the negro Sammin, the acknowl¬ edged rapist, of Mrs. Ogletree at Saffold, was lynched early Sunday morning before he reached there. Three wore lynched there on Satur¬ day night in the forks of the river, and two more ot the same gang were lynched near Bainbridge Sunday evening. A telephone message from Jakin received here to-day stated that a guard with Charlie Mack, the leader of the gang of robbers, had been caught and was on the way to Blakely. As he had not reached here at 7:30, it is supposed that he met the same fate of his confeder¬ ates in crime. Leesburg, Ga., July 2 1.—An un¬ known negro, slim, under height, gingercake color, who was supposed to be one of the Ogletree ravishers, was spotted five miles from town this evening. The posse attempted to arrest him, when he drew a pistol and attempted resistance. He was instantly shot. The covoeer s jury returned a verdict of justifiable homicide. Saffold, Ga., July ‘it.-—After Thursday night’s crime all men with¬ in twenty-five miles of Saffold joined in bands and with Sheriff Patterson and jiosso took up a hot chase, but not until late Saturday afternoon had tlioy gotten on t ho right track, At r, o’clock Tom Unsay, a mulatto of Brinson, was stopped three miles in the 1 country and asked assistance by Louis Sammin, w ho claimed to be fleeing from justice on account of having killed a man at Jakin Unsay thought Sammin to be one of the perpetrators on Thursday’s crime, and directed him into a va¬ cant house near by, w here he assured him lie-could rest with safety. Lin- say then hurried to Brinson, notified those in pursuit, who wont at once to tbe place directed, and finding Sammin asleep, arrested him with- out trouble and carried Kim to Brin- -on. Mr. Ogletree positively indenti- fled him as one of tho two who com- inittod the crime, but ’he requested that they take him to Suii'old for his wife to confirm the identification, Consequently, the negro, in the hands of the mob, left Brinson on the 5 o’clock morning train, and up- on arrival at Satfold, the negro was taken before Mrs. Ogletree, who SW1FTJ -FINE WHISKIES We sell only J the best i>*oc! j t GD Don’t drink mean whiskey Call on us or send your ordd Prices and treatment always rig a * 'xt's* a i$jst w * » *sc » « a OUR $1.50 PER QUART BRANDS.
