traveled with Dr. T. DeWitt Talrnage
from Washington to Atlanta, and he
wrote this in my pad :
“To the good people of Milledgeville,
Georgia, especially those who knew my
uncle, Dr. Samuel K. Talrnage: My

pride of our family, and I rejoice in

The letter is a clear and forceful
one. Col. Pottle buries all partisan
ship and takes the position pointed out
by what he conceives to be his patriotic
duty. He has taken a manly step, one
which will not only retain for him the
(respect alid confidence of the People’s
party, but will win hack to him the ad
miration of the Democrats.
Col. Pottle left the Democratic party
in 1892, and received the nomination
of the Populists of the litli district for
Congress, hut after the State election
in October, when this district went
Overwhemingly democratic, he with
drew from the race. Since that time
C'ol. Pottle has had no political aspira
tions, but has adhered closely to the
principles of his party. He has been
the leader of the Populists in this sec
tion, and lias had much influence in
directing the policy ot the party in
this county.
Col. Pottle is a lawyer of marked
ability, and is one of Georgia’s brain
iest young men. He is an eloquent
and graceful speaker, and stands in the
front rank of the orators of the State.
He is cordially welcomed back to
the Democratic party. t

Our local amateurs did themselves
proud. The rendition of their several
parts was just splendid.
Between each piece Mr. Baines ap
peared in a recitation or song, llis
rendition of his first school boy speech
was very amusing, and in Shakespeare's
seven ages his wonderful facial express
ions and power of acting were given
lull scope. The audience were delight
ed with his singing and performance on
the piano. “My Old Kentucky Horne”;
“Roses at the Cabin Door”; The Nig
ger and the Watermilliwn;and “Peter,
go Ring dem Bells” brought down
the house. His imitation on the piano
of a railway train was wvndevf ally real
istic.
A pleasing incident rtf the enjoyable
occasion was the presentation ot a bas
ket of beautiful ‘flowers to Mr. Barnes
by the ladies df the college committee.
Just before the conclusion of the [»er-

the ladies, made the (presentation in a
happy and sparkling speech. This
token of appreciation was received by
Mr. Barnes with expressions of beart-
fol t pleasure.

Prof. Reynolds, soon after his elec

was necessary to make some repairs on
the building, and to make some needed
improvements in and around the College.
There were no funds in the College
treasury, which could he used for this
purpose, and Prof. Reynolds deter
mined to call the ladies to his assis

In response to a call from Prof.
Reynolds, the first meeting of the la

Mr. B. W.-Jenkins was in the city
last Saturday for the first time since
he returned from the Chicago conven
tion. He was looking well and his
many friends were glad to see him and
related the joke Mr, Horne got off at
his expense during his.absence.
While the national democratic con
vention was in session a colored laborer
from the Jenkin’-s plantation came to
the city and called at the store of Mr.
J. A. Herne, who was at his telephone,
lie asked the.old darkie if he knew
anything about the use of the telephone.
Tlie Old man didn’t know and Mr.
Home told him-he had just been talk
ing with Mr. Jenkins at Chicago, and
added “Mr. Jenkins is now at dinner,
you come hack heresa fifteen minutes
and I’ll let you talk to him.” Mr.
Horne then communicated with Mr.
Richter at the Exchange and asked
him when the negro returned to im
personate Mr. Jenkins.
Pretty soon the negro returned and
Mr. Home placed the phone to his
ear. “Yes, please God that’s Marse
Burl’s voiee. I knew they would get
