faithfully for the good of the order.

Capitol Lodge held a rousing meeting last
night. No lodge can beat the Capitol when it
comes down to real hard, earnest work. Its
officers and members are men of business and
every one has the good of the order at heart.
Financially the lodge is on a tidal wave of suc
cess.
Barnes Lodge meets to-night. Besides the
regular business, memorial services will be
held in honor of the late brother Past Grand
Sire, Luther J. Glenn, a notice of which is else
where in this column. It is useless to impress
upsn the members that none should absent
themselve». On such an occasion all should
make an effort to be present.
KNIOHTH OP HONOR.
Georgia Lo-’ge 136 meets to-night, and a large
number of the members are expected to come
out. The lodge was never in a more prosperous
condition, and the officers and members have
every reason to congratulate themselves. Much
business of an important nature will be disposed
of to-night.
IKK. O. R. M.
The Comanches had on the war paint and
eagle feathers last night at their wigwam, and
there was much big talk concerning the order as
the pipe of peace was passed around. The
braves have been taking so many scalps recently
that an order has been issued that all toma
hawks must, be sharpened. Pale faces are you
willing to face the music ? Why not be adopted
and save your scalp? You will join a noble
tribe that will be more staunch and true than
the original Red Men of the Forest. The braves
are ready to welcome you if you have the right
qualifications to become a Red Man.
I. <*. <>. F. memorial Notice.
Memorial services in honor of Brother Past
Grand Sire, L. J. Glenn, deceased, will be Mid
at the lodge room at 8 o’clock, p. tn., Friday,

URUyiMFRS DILEMMA.
The Experience of Two Atlanta
Drummer* In Alabama.
Quite an interesting talc of the unpleasant
experience of two Atlanta drummers, Mr. Phil
Taylor, who slings his jaw in the interests of
Tanner, Currier A Heath, and Mr. Dan Hesy,
Magnus A Hightower’s knight of the grip, will
be found below. They left Atlanta on Monday,
spending the night at Grantville, and early the
next morning they proceeded toward Alabama
by buggy, taking in Franklin, Texas, State
Liuo and Houston, Phil handling the lines, and
in the absence of a customer spending his time
in talking to his teain.
Everything went along smoothly until Tues
day afternoon, when they were caught, amidst
the terrors of a thunder storm in the mountains,
just as night was coming on. The raiu came
down in torrents, drenching the two drummers
to the skin. The only means of telling where
they were was by the constant flashes of light
ning illuminating the road. Several times the
friendly light revealed the wheels of the buggy
alarmingly near the edge of some mountain ra
vine. Alter nn hour thus unpleasantly spent
they proceeded to dry their garments as best
they could.
Dan concluded to return to Atlanta morning
as Phil had changed Ins route : and, at half-past
six with his grip-sack clutched in a vice-like
clasp, he commenced the bold undertaking of
walking from Luthersville to Grantville, a dis
tance of fifteen miles, in order to catch the train
due at the latter place at 12 o’clock. The
weather was hot, the sun being out, aud he ac
tually wilted a cellaloid standing collar in his
manly efforts to come in on time. He got there,
too, reaching Grantville before 11, hot, tired,
foot-sore and sun burned. Al soon as he rests
and limbers up a little, Dan is thinking of chal
lenging Prater or some other celebrated walker
o a test of speed.
Phil is still enjoying the fried chicken and
frosh eggs of the hospitable mountain country.
Fair Play.
Editors Capitol: Wednesday two boys who
attend the sixth grade, were playing in the yard
at Calhoun street school, and in their boyish
ways, were talking "that their teacher ought to
have a brass button for keeping the boys in at
recess.” After the boys came in the teacher
called them up and beat them soundly on their
legs, cutting at every lick.
Now the question is bow far does the authori
tv and jurisdiction of teachers extend, If they
start to whip out every child that talks of them
out of school, ihey will get their hands full.
They will then earn certainly two brass but
tons. JI'STtCK.

Hall of a Faatiiy Drowned.
At Franklin, Ga., a colored man lives, who
has gloried inthe posseeeion of a family of seven
boys, the youngest one being old enough to chop
cotton. Early this week, four of them proceed
ed to take a bath in a wash hole, left near the
river after a late rise. 'I'M voungest
one being more cautious” than his
brothers, waded into the place
until the water reached his neck, when he stop
ped to see the entrance of the other three. They
took a running start, one taster the other, and
jumped into the middle of the hole, which, un-*
known to them, was fifteen feet deep. Down
they went and came up splattering and calling
for help. The little one hurried to dry laud
and summoned aid, but before help arrived, all
three of the boys were drowned.
