progressive ex-service speaker. Col.

Unsual Event Happens
Here Tuesday
The little town of Cleveland ex¬
perienced an unsual event for this
section Tuesday afternoon. A
short time before dark, it is said,
(we judge by those in position to
know) a barbecue was given bv
the Ku Klux V; n to the left of the
home of Ernest Wofford toward
Ledple mountain, where an open
air naturalization ceremony was al¬
so performed.
This is the first of such an event
in this section and has created no
little curiosity among our people,
some are even ainn/.ed at the bold¬
ness of such an affair.
It is reported that they had bar¬
becue hog, beef, goat and hens,
besides a sufficient amount of
Brunswick stew. At the natural
*•.1; ; <>n ct ) p", It is >ai-l. om.
of Gt 1‘gia’s most prominent and
outstanding figures were partici¬
pants. It is reported there, were
about 150 of these mysterious fel¬
lows at this feed and ceremony.
The weather was very unfavor¬
able, which doubtless prevented a
large number who would have
otherwise attended had it been a
good day.
After the barbecue they made a
parade through the main sections
of town and presumably to Nacoo
chee and Helen. As they come
through town they threw out cir¬
culars describing some of their
main principles.
Some reports reach our office
that a large portion of these "hood¬
ed fellows” were from Gainesville
or possibly Atlanta, but »ve judge
they are like us, don’t know no
more than what we saw.

What is more wonderful than
the growing plant? Why do their
roots go downward and their stims
go upward! These are questions
that the wisest men have failed to
answer. The lower animals have
instincts and they seem to be
guided by this. They never make
improvements as man does. The
first nest the bird builds is as good
as he ever does. They never make
a mistake. The little ‘salmon when
he is hatched out starts down the
Columbia river to the great ocean
and will get there after awhile if
he is not put in a tin can. We
suppose it is an instinct that alls
him where to go. And it may J be
