Dench o( an Aged tit* jr
Mrs. Virginia B. Harris died at the
resldenoeof her daughter, Mrs. Mary A.
Swift, at Stone Mountain, Ga., on the 31st
ult., aged 91 years. Mrs. Harris was the
mother of Walton B. Harris, Esq., of
Girard, of Mr. J. C. Harris, of this city,
and of two or throe other sons and daugh
ters now living. Sho was truly a good
and exemplary woman, and hor days wore
long in the land.
Deate of Col. J. M. Starke.
The death of Col. Starke, which occurrod
early in the night of Tuesday, did not
take his friends by surprise. His low
state of health, for some months past pre
pared them for the sad event, so when it
came, though the heart was wrung with
grief, It was not shocked by an unexpect
ed blow. In the death of Col. Starke the
community loses a high toned, liberal
minded citizen, and his Immediate neigh
bors lose a generous and warm hearted
friend. But the greatest loss falls upon
his afflicted family.
His friends are invited to attend his
funeral this morning at 10 o’clock from
the Presbyterian Church.

This favorite Southern life oompany
once nipre comes before the public with
its record to January Ist, 1877, and wo are
glad to havo It to say that Its statement
Is one of which the directors may feel
justly proud. The figures tell their own
tale so truly and that the most
honest management of trust funds Is
clearly exposed to the dullest comprehen
sion, and tlie oritlc loft to muse upon the
fact that, In thoso days of corporate plun
der,a Southern oompany,at least,remains
to tell a plain unvarnished tale of Its con
dition in a straightforward manner. And
by so doing the "Piedmont and Arlington
Life" has not only earned the lasting
gratitude of Its constituency but tho es
teem of tho honest public.
That commercial failures, through fi
nancial depression; general stagnation of
business; political embarrassments and
the “Centennial,” should havo retarded
the growth of this life company during
the past year was not unexpected; but
that such has not been realized by results
lsoause for congratulation, Really, It
may be asserted, If the detaile of its state
ment are not fully understood by tho gen
eral reader, that the Piedmont ami Arling
ton Life Is to-day In a stronger position
than it was a year ago. And why? For
the reason that the approach ot the finan
cial troubles, now noarly spent, was fore
seen by tho new managenftnt of tho com
pany, and they wore resolutely preparod
for It. Expenses for management wore
reduced, rigid medical examinations or
dered, Interest and other Incomes careful
ly watched over, and among and beyond
alllthat prudence dictated, the most hap-
py augury to the company’s future pros
perity, has been the retirement, with
out jar, of the capital stock o t SIOO,OOO
which drew interest and a share of tho
profits; and Its retirement will be a great
and continuous gain to the policy-holders.
The total Income of 1876 for premiums,
rents, Interest, 4c., was $028,126; the total
assets and accumulation to Ist January,
1877, being $2,490,366. The total expenses
of manageneut for the year were $110,788
and disbursements to and for policy hold
ers $416,412—the total outgo In 1876 being
$527,201. The surplus shown bythostate
ment over a full reserve on all its policies
on the basis of the American Table and
4% per cent, interest Is $162,459, and at the
perfectly safe rate of 6 per cent, on all its
policies, the surplus over a reserve would
be $480,000; and from the surplus, a divi
dend will be paid to policy holders during
tho current year.
TbeJ expenses of management In 1876
were $50,000 loss than in 1875; the death
claims paid In 1876 were $68,000 loss than
in 1875; the income from Interest and
rents was sufficient to pay the greatest
part of death olaims; and the Income
was more than all expenditures, including
the large sum of tho capital stock retired.
Such an exhibit Is gratifying in these dull
times, aud shows that the company has
gained material strength and Improved
In financial condition.
The management, under President D.
J. Hartsook and his colleagues, may be
rolled on as safe, progressive and prudent,
and altogether we congratulate both the
oompany and Its members on the present
prosperous condition of its affairs, and
the bright promise of a successful future.
This Company’s General Agent, Dr. E.
J. Kirkscey, yesterday sent a cheek to T.
L. Willey, of Savannah, to pay tho minor
heirs of the late Mr. Rhan, of that city.
The Company never fails to promptly
pay all death losses. Tho Philadelphia
Underwriter of last month, reviewing this
favorite Southern Company, says: "Its
statement of 1877 is one ot which tho Di
rectors may feel justly proud.” Further,
that the Oompany has a bright promlso of
a successful future.
Dr. Kirkscey is still contlned to his bod,
suffering much pain, but keeps an eye te
the Interest of policy holders and the
Company within his territory.

Cotton Factory In Girard.
We are informed that our little neigh
bor across the river- probably catching
the inspiration from Columbus—is about
to establish a steam ootton factory. In
fact, work on It has already commenced,
and the contemplation is to have it in op
eration speedily. A building lately used
as a eotton gin, la rear of the store
of Mr. D. G. Wesley, is being fitted up
for the faotory. The purpose is to make
a start with eight looms, but the driving
machinery will bo sufficient to operate
forty or fifty, and the factory will be
furnished with that number If the enter
prise proves profitable. We presume
that the yarns will bo obtained from the
Columbus factories, as we hear of no
preparations for spindles. The fabrics
manufactured, we learn, will be whiis
cloths.
We understand that Mr. Boland, anew
comer (from Mississippi, wo believe) hoads
the enterprise, and that Mr. Wesley and
one or two other gentlemen are associa
ted wilh him.
Hurrah for Girard 1 We will bet on
her having a cotton factory in successful
operation before big Atlanta, notwith
standing the latter’s developing Kimballs
and Industrious Blowhards.
It Is true—Thornton & Acee are selling
new handsome Sprtug Suits from twenty
five to fifty por cent, cheaper than last
season. They bought for cash.

ST. PAUL FESTIVAL.
LARGELY ATTENDED DAY AND NIGHT.
SUCCESS OF THE BABY SHOW.
WHAT IN OOIXO ON INMIBE.
EVERYONE HAH A PLEASANT TIME.
The St. Paul festival is going on. and
prosperously too. Tho crowds which at
tend both dully and nightly attest this
fact. Yesterday evening was a pleasant
ono Indeed at the fostlval.
THE BABY SHOW.
And what a show, nearly every pretty
baby In town was there, and from their
dress, seemed everyone a millionaire,
their sweet, pretty looks seemed to act
like a spell on every one else, for not a
sour countenance could bo seen, but all
were wreathed In smiles and beamed with
cheerfulness. The largo hall was densely
crowded with the little ones contending
for the prize and which each ono got in Its
own mothers estimation before it will to
awarded by tho largest vote to tho one
which shall get it in the end.
The little cherubs left the hall loaded
[ with goodies aud toys, little dreamiug
that they had been defeated and caring
as little as if they had not been.
The Baby show was a grand and pleas
urable success and a fine time was experi
enced by the mothers as well as the little
ones. And what Is the strangest thing of
all, the babies were upon their tost be
havior all the time—perhaps they devlned
what they were brought together for.
THE PEEP SHOW, •
presided over by Masters Freddie Clark
aud Mack Allen, gives an Illuminated view
of two of Ulysses’ shipwrecked sailors
transformed Into swine by the wand of
Circe, who stands in between them in the
shape of an immense bull dog. Why sho
took this form Is beyond our comprehen
sion unless, perhaps, she did it out of
compliment to the Festival.
Leuving tho transformed sailors, we
come to the
ICE CREAM STAND.
Here delicious ice cream, pineapple and
lemon sherbet aro dispensed royally by
the following ladies: Mrs. Colbert, Roo
noy, B. Crawford, Radcliffe, G. R. Glenn,
Miss Mary Hodges.
THE FISH POND
Is next reached, and how prettily does the

tended by tho sweetest of lassies and the
gentlest of ladies: Mrs. Richard Young,
Hines, Daniel, Guerry, Miss Emma Strat
ford, Gussie Rooney, Vanna Hilliard, Su
sie Garrett, Maggie Acoe, F. Hood.
Passing from this we see the
LEMONADE,
and many drink of it, for this delightful
and cooling beverage is made Just right
at the Festival—and you will think so,
whether or no, if you look at the list of
ladles who make and sell it: Mrs Dr John

Misses L Roe, M Johnson, Route Harri
son, Maggie Acee, Mlt'a Ravenscroft.

Ue Cook, Ida Frazer, Jennie Nance.
Among the various and tasty fancy ar
ticles upon this table wo noticed a hand
somely embroidered pin-cußhion, made
by the.hands of Mrs E Hodges; consid
ering the age of this estimablo lady, it
is a wonderful piece of work—and as an
article of use and beauty, it is well worth
the price set upon it.
THE MEAT TABLE
is visited by every sensible person that
enters tho hall, nnd, if our statement is
right, sonse is the attribute of all pleas
ure seekers at tho Festival. The meats
vanish and others appeur again with such
rapidity that we were forced to believe
that the receipts from this table would
exoeed all tho rest together. The ladies
attending to this table were: Mrs. Wm
Young, Dr. Woodruff, S. Jordan, DeLati
ney, W. Allen, Lawrenoe, Leitner, S.
Howard, Epplng, Dußose, Conway, W.
Williams, Roe, Phelps, Willingham, Wil
liams, Hunt, and Shirley.
THE CAKE TABLE.
How can wo tell its merits; there were
large cakes and small cakes and all kinds
of cakes, but those mostly eaten were
slices of cake cut from the immense ones
that looked too beautiful to bo destroyed
in so unceremonious a manner.
The ladies presiding over this table
were; Mrs CDexter, M CGordan, John
Bass, 8 Grimes, 0 Johnson, A Johnson,
McDonald, W Perry, J B Slade, C Harri
son, Dr Fogle, Pease, Dixon, MoPhale,

this, the most cherished of harmless
Southorn drinks, the fragrant coffee.
The following ladies presided gracefully
at the
COFFEE TABLE,
Mrs l’atten, Mrs Hoffman, Mrs. Nance,
Misses Anna Tyler, Mary Benning.

The ladies presiding were: Mrs. G. Young,

of the Fairy book did.
It parts with its fruit, one egg at a time.
For the small campensat.on of a dime.
The ladies presiding over the egg tree
are: Mrs. W. Johnson, Misses Sue Guer

charming beauty to tho wondering eye.
This stand Is watched over by Misses
Lucy Ridgway, Berta Grlmps, Lucy

THE GIPSY TENT
Is snugly ensconced In a corner; within
It hangs a pot, in which boil the potout

THE BALLOT-BOX
was guarded by the following ladles:

who were kept busy all tho time by the
spirited tollotting.
The Art Gallery and the Shooting Gal
lery wore In full blast and largely patron
ized,,,. ;
And last but not least was the
DOLL HOUSE,
which was filled from top to bottom with
dolls and doll's clothing. One of the
prettiest dolls In it was dressed by Miss
Berta Grimes. The ladies presiding over
the dolls were: Mrs J Key, W L Clark,
and Hamilton, and Misses Jenie Williams,
L Barden, G Lawrence, J Leitner, L En

WHO ARE AHEAD
When the Festival closed last night the
number of votes were about equally divi
ded between Miss Mollis Young and Mlsa
Mary Lou Barnett, as the most popular
young ladies; little Mamie Fry was
thought to be ahead as the most popular
little girl; Mr. J. Albert Kirven was ahead
as the most popular dry goods merchant;
and about the most popular buby nothing
Is known or conjectured, as the votes go
into the box without being seen.
The ladles desire us to state that there
will be lunch to-day between the hours of
11 and 3.
A richly desnrod reward but a eruel
one was promised bur bachelor Mayor by
the ladies for his service as Associate
Judge of tho babies at the festival baby
Shdw yesterday. It was proposed to vote
for him as the ugliest man in town. Be
ing the ugliest man in town does not af
fect his knowledge of babies, for his long
service In engine companies and Sunday
Schools has taught him what babies
ought to be.
ATLANTA NOTES.
The Atlanta cadets enjoyed a large hop

There are two base ball clubs in Atlan

ings and McPhersons Barracks nine.
There is an ordinance passed by the
City Council of Atlanta, protecting birds

Virginia WhUbey Punches.
Whiskey punches of the old liquid sort
has slain their thousands, and a good
many more thousands are standing loose
ly around anxiously awaiting to be slair.
by the same instrumentalities;but the old
sort of whiskey punches Is not the kind
that old Virginia has taken into her ser
vice to aid la collecting ner retail license.
By a law just passed, every retail dealer
In the State Is provided by the auditor
with a “punch” similar in its registering
features to the “bell punches” which have
been used by railroad conductors for
some years past, and every time the re
tailer sells liquor, he is required to regis
ter the quantity and olass sold by turn
ing the crank to the punch until the bell
rings, and the Indication or the dial shows
that the proper registration Is effected.
The retailer is taxed on all alcoholic li
quor sales of half a pint and less. Two
and a half cents, and a half Cent on a pint
and less of malt liquors; and from half
pint It is graded up to one gallon—on
which the tax is forty cents. This Is a
novel law, and if generally adopted and
executed by the rates, would be the means
of showing where the liqnor all goes to.
Some genius should now go about Invent
ing the best “whiskey punch” for retail
ers, and his fortune will be made—for
every State will want 8 thousand or more
of them.
