of the order were never in a
more flourishing condition. The
financial affairs of the county
alliance is in a healthy condi
tion, meeting all the demands

All who were present seem
ed to enjoy the.nsslves. The
editor of the Journal was pres
ent, and if he did not enjoy the
crowd, he certainly did the pies
and other good thirgs. If he
did not increase his subscrip

corporation.

The desire for frolic and fun j
seems to be innate in children.
If you put a boy to work, it
will almost kill him to chop
down a sappling six inches in
diameter; but if you can man- *
age to make a frolic out oi it,
he will tackle a tree two feet
and a half through and get it
down before lie stops. Having
learned this much by expe
rience when I was a boy, I now
g . t many a job out of my boys
when they are in fun and I am
deep/y in earnest to save my
own bongs. I am not deceitful
notabit of it—but I always
make a hard job pleasant for
the boys, if I can.
Net long ago I took three of
my younger children out into
the woods for a stroll among
the wild flowers. While we
were going from home, and see
ing new things, all went as
“inerry as a marriage bell;”
but as soon as we struck the
road leading home, about a mile
from town, the youngest of the
three, two years old, began to
cry and said: “Fa, tote me!”
Knowing that Bis little legs
were weary, 1 picked him up
to rest him a spell; but alas!
the others wanted to be car
ried, too! What was to be
done? I had about as much as
I was able to manage. One
had about as much claim on
“Fa ’ as the other, and each
was disposed to assert his right
without waining it in the least
in favor of the “youngest of
the fry.” Ibis was human na
ture, and showed that they
were infant members of the
race. I did not fret and scold
—not iu the least. That would
have done no good. I sat the
three children down in the cor
ner the fence, and got them in
to a good humor with some vi
olets called “roosters” by the
children, and then got over in
to the field and cut four dry
corn stalks for horses, and a
switch for each child. I mount
ed the children on their horses,
and then jumped astride my
own charger. Then we came
cantering up into town in fine
style!
That last mile was the most
pleasant of the whole walk. I
doubt not but we could have
gone a mile or two further with
great pleasure. Indeed, when
we got home the children’s
blood was up and I had to fall
down and break my horse to
get out of the performance.
There are more ways than
one to manage children. The
easiest way is always the best
way, provided it does not in
culcate a wrong principle, and
thus lay the foundation for
wrong doing. Gilderoy.
The Eagle has frequently urg
ed upon our citizens the im
portance of patronizing home
institutions and spending their
money with home enterprises )
for by that means alone can
we hope to build up and make
a nourishing city.
Tag your dogs. The ordi
nance requiring this will go in
to full force in a week or so,
and the police have imperative
orders to carry the law out to
the letter, aad if your “purp”
comes up missing don't blame
any one but yourself.
Rev. J. W\ Roberts, pastor
of the Methodist church of this
city, has purchased one of the
prettiest horses hereabouts. It
is said he will make a mile in
four minutes, But Bro. Rob
erts needs just such an animal,
ns he is a hustler anyhow—

J. L. Harper, editor of the El
berlon Star took a horsewhip to
lion. Phil. Davis the other day
on the streets in Elberion:
“Full Fart.iulars:—Elberton,
Ga., April 10.—The Star will
say in its to-morrow's issue:
••Last Wednesday morning
the loungers around tlie public
square were treated to a sensa
tion of tha most exciting char
acter.
“Mr. J. L. Harper appeared
on the square with a horse
whip in his hand. This unusu
al sight attracted the attention
of those who were in sight and
they watched his motions with
considerable curiosity. They
were not left long in doubt as
to the meaning.
“Soon Col. Philip W. Davis
was seen walking across the
square, and Mr. Harper ap
proached him and, as, nearly
as we can get it, saying only,
“You infernal scoundrel!” lie
let in on him with the whip,
and cowhided him in the most
terrible manner.
“We did not see tfie affray
ourselves, but are informed
that Col. Davis made little or
no resistance.
“The cause of the difficulty
from the best information we
can gather, is that Col. Davis
made improper advances to a
lady, which Mr. Harper resent
ed, hence the trouble. Later
in the djy a meeting of citi
zens was held in the ordinary's
office, at which Mr. I). P Ogles
by was elected chairman, and
Judge G. L. Almond secretary.
This meeting after a thorough
investigation of the evidence,
and the circumstances of the
case, adopted the following re
solutions without a dissenting
voice:
“Resolved, that P W. Davis
be requested to resign his posi
tion as representative in the
state legislature from Elbert
county, and that a committee
af five citizens be appointed to
notify him of this action.”
“ihese gentlemen went to
find Mr. Davis and notify him
of the meeting’s action, but fail
ed to do so, he having already
left the city.
“Anotherresolution was pass
ed to the effect,‘in the name of
the honor, virtue, and peace of
the county, we request Mr. Da
vis to leave the town and conn
ty in six hours, never to return.’
A supplementary motion re
quired a copy of this resolution
to be sent to Mr. Davis with
the signatures of those present
at the meeting appended.
“Public opinion is very much
exercised over the matter and
expresses itself in hut one way
—and that is in condemnation
of Gol. Davis.
“Yet still human nature is
prone to pity the unfortunate
and even the guilty.
“This pity was freely ex
pressed, even by those who
I were most earnest in their con
demnation of his action.”
The surest way lo produce
maral blindness is to neglect
moral conviction. One who
pursues this course will soon
admire his own errors, credit
his own lies, and take pleasure
in his own wickedness.

A tossing bark;
A heaving sea;
The waters dark,
Her grave may be.
The wild olouds break;
The sun shinethrough,
A rainbow spans
The waters blue.
A troubled soul
On life’s rough sea,
The dark waves red,
No hope may be.
God sheds his light
Upon our tears,
And 10, most bright!
A how appears.
Brother farmers, let us give
you a little advice, wouldn’t it
be better to bring in all the
farming implements and put
them under shelter? Would it
not be better to bring that cul
tivator in out of the weather?
Also that reaper? Likewise the
plow stgck? Ditto that wag
on and buggy? We know t.e
manufacturers are anxious to
sell you more implements, but
you should look out for your
own interest as well as theirs,
and no farmer can afford to
house his tools under a tree. —
