BANKER ARRESTED.
Prominent Business Man Brought
Into Court.
Rome, Ga., Oct. 9.—Jack King,
one of Rome’s most piominent cit
izens and president of the Mer
chants’ National bank at the time
of its failure a year and a half ago,
was arrested this afternoon on a
warrant issued before the United
States court in Atlanta, charging
him with a violation of the United
States banking laws and embezzle
ment. He was carried to Atlanta,
where it is expected that he will
give bond at once.
The amount of the alleged mis
appropriation is $22,000.
Election News.
Atlanta, Ga , Oct. 9. —The re
turns so far received from Wednes
day’s election show that the total
populist vote will not exceed 85,-
<MM). It was 95,888 in 1894, show
ing a decrease of about 11,000.
This falling off is largely attrib
uted to the capture of the negro
vote by Gov. Atkinson. The otlic
ial figures coming in today do not
materially change the estimate of
the result as made in these dis
patches yesterday.
In a few sections of the state the
populist vote was increased. In
nearly every case it was due to the
personal popularity of some popu
list nominee. In Floyd, Wright’s
home county, the populist candi
date received a majority of 268.
But this was not, in a party sense,
a majority for populism, since
Candler, democratic nominee for
secretary of state, defeated Par
sons, the populist nominee by over
MM) votes.
In Cotlee county, for the first
time the’populist state ticket was
given a majority and the entire
county nominees elected. To off
set this, however, twenty counties
that went populistic in 1894 rolled
up Wednesday average democratic
majorities. This is true of Camp
bell, Cai roll, Chattahoochie, Clay
ton, Dawson, Douglas, Emanuel,
Fayette, Gwynett, Harris, Meri
wether, Montgomery, Paulding,
Pickens, Pike, Polk, Rockdale,
Tatnall, Taylor. Washington and
White.
One of the features of the elec
tion is that every congressional
district in Georgia is democratic
and will send democratic represen
tatives to the next congress. The
only district held in doubt was
the Tenth. Two years ago in the
state election that district gave a
small populist majority. Wednes
day Richmond, Hancock and
Washington have democratic ma
jorities sufficient to offsett the
populist majorities in the other
eight counties, and show besides a
clean democratic majority of
2,125.

Suicide in Dalton.
Dalton, Ga. Oct. 9. —Tom
Richardson, a nephew of Bob
Richardson, a well-known citizen,
in a tit of despondency, killed
himself today by shooting himself
in the head with a Winchester
ride. No cause assigned.
In Memory,
The pen moves lively to com
memorate the life of a good woman
and yet slowly with the weight of
its own insufficiency, to tell into
what hearts the light of a godly
character has fallen, and where
the last beam will touch down the
vista of time.
The death of sister Alice Perry
which occurred on Sept. sth, re
moved a well known figure from
our midst. For over five months
she had hoen a most patient suf
ferer. She was a consistent Chris
tian, a true and good neighbor, an
affections te wife a loving and un
selfish Brother. To have known
her best ’was to nave admired her .
rare fortitude-and the life of beau
i tiful simplicity, the most. With
her there was no flaunting of deed,
of love and kindness, for praise of
man or self gain, but each will be
to her a treasure where moth - and
rust do not corrupt. Her’s was a
life of wonderous beauty, and dur
ing her sojourn on earth she
brightened the lives and hearts of
all with whom she was associated
by the purity and loveliness of her'
character. Oh, it is a blessed life
that leaves nothing but smiles and
joy to memory. We often wonder
why one so amiable and beloved is
called from us in the prime of life.
How we will miss her, yet we know
that our loss is her eternal gain.
Her virtues can not be commemor
ated, neither will her sweet lovinp
face ever be forgotton. Although
we feel this irreparable loss most
keenly, why should we mourn,
when, after a well spent life, and
after repeated struggles with pain
and disease, she is only tranferred
from the state militant to the state
triumphant. We would admonish
the Bereaved family to look to
•Jesus, for if we only trust Him,
and seek His presence, we will find
that we will not be forsaken in the
hour of need. The afflictions
which are hardest to meet, are set
in our path to show that infinite
mercies are waiting for us and w r e
have only to go forward and re
ceive the blessings. Therefore let
us bow in humble submission to
the will of Him that doeth all
things well, and strive to so live in
this life, that when we like her
have to try the realities of another
world, we may be crowned with
the faithful of Christ.
()h, why are our darlings taken away.
And we, sad ones, left on earth alone,
To nurse a deep—yea, cureless wound
And weep through time from sorrow's
moan?
Oh, help us Lord to bear our grief,
And meekly bow to the sovereign will,
And the peace which passeth knowl
edge,
The aching void will surely fill.
For thou doest all things well!
And may our murmurings cease, every
one,
Courage give, oh Lord, thy rod to
kiss,
And grace to feel, “Thy will be done.”
'Tis hard to say, “Thy will be done,”
When death with his resentlcss hand,
Some cherished idol of the hsart lays
low.
Leaving us a sad and broken band.
“Thy will be done,” Oh! God, ’tis
hard,
These sweet ties of love to sever;
To listen for one dear, dear voice.
And know that voice is hushed for
ever.
'Tis hard to see the eyes grow dim,
To watch the dear suffering face,
And feel the hand which clasps our
own,
Grow cold aud still in death’s embrace.

will adopt such methods to get of

In Memory
Os Lois Alabama, little daughter
of Miner and Sallie Chandler, who
was born May 18, 1891, and died
Aug. 18th, 1896. Age 5 years and
|3 months.
Her illness was rendered sadder
by its pecularity, but not extremely
severe and of short duration, occa
sioned by the bite cf a snake, Sun
day at noon, which resulted in
death at 4 p. m., Tuesday.
Litt’e Barna was an especial fa
vorite with the family, won by her
sweet and gentle disposition. She
always kept the place merry with
her happy songs; and just before
she died she sang, in her own sweet
childish way: “Heaven—Sweet
Home, My Home in Heaven.”
I will say to her parents, broth
ers and sisters, grieve not for little
Barna as though she were dead for
her mortality only only sleepeth
while her immortality has gone to
Him who said, “Suffer Little Chil
dren to Come Unto Me;” and to
Him who shall bruise unto death,
the head of the last serpent.
Let the sadness, the gloom which
hangs so heavily over your home
I be dispelled by the blessed thought
that some day, yea, soon, you shall
meet your loved one in that bright
and better land; and join her in
singing her last sweet song,
“Heaven—Sweet Home, My Home
in Heaven.”

The News is changed this week to
its former size, viz: six columns and
eight pages. This enlargement is
made at a very considerable cost, but
we believe the outlay will be met by an
increased subscription list and adver
tising patronage. Owing to the non
arrival of a lot of extra heavy paper
we are compelled to use this week a
verw light and inferior grade. How
ever. this won't last long, and as soon
as we have time to straighten matters
out, the News will be brighter and

CHATTOOGA
ASSOCIATION.
A Very Intesting And Har
monious Meeting.
The Chattooga Baptist Associa
tion met in fifth annual session
Oct. 9, 10 and 11, with Ebenezer
church at Zula, Ga. This session
was noted for a large delegation,
for Christian harmony and for spir
ituality.
Hearts and homes of broad hos
pitality were thrown wide open to
many who found the way leading
thereto by a narrow winding moun
tain road. The generosity of the
citizens had its effect upon the vis
itors for appeals for money were
met by prompt and hearty res
ponses. Everybody in the commu
nity was liberal with smiles, plea
sant words and then with ’possum
ham, chicken, etc. etc.
Rev. J. M. Smith preached the
introductory sermon which was a
good gospel discourse.
Rev. J. G. Hunt was elected
moderator. J. N. Rush and G. D.
Espy were re-elected secretary and
treasurer respectively. While J.
G. Hunt served for the first time
as moderator of an Association,
yet the able manner in which he
presided seemed to indicate years
of service in this capacity. Busi
ness was dispatched with great
ease and rapidity but due attention
was given every report or subject
brought before the body.
At appointed times appropriate
and interesting sermons were de
livered by J. H. Glazner, C. T.
Starkey, J. L. Head and J. G. Hunt,
Rev. W. J. Durham, of Rome,
represented the Foreign Mission
Board, “Foreign Mission Journal,’
‘Christian Index,” and Mercer U
niversity.
The report on education was a
bly spoken to by W. A. Davis, Mr.
McWhorter and W. J. Durham.
After the report on missions was
read J. M. Smith, M. A. C. Bennett,
B F. Hunt and J. J. Andrews made
talks.
The reading of the report on
temperance was fol lowed by stir
ring talks by J, H. Glazner, Prof.
Etheridge, J. G. Hunt and Mr. Mc-
Whorter.
There were ether reports and
talks both interesting and profita
ble.
The missionary sermon on Sun
day at 11 a. m. by Rev. J.G. Hunt
was a forceful and magnificent ef
fort and was heard with rapt at
tention by a crowded audience.
Touching remarks were made
concerning the death of the former
moderator, the faithful minister
and laborer, Rev. D. T. Espy, and
a collection was taken for his mem
orial fund.
Ministers in attendance besides
those already mentioned were: P.
J. Deason, G. C. Garrison, Mr.
Morgan, M. B. Tuggle and J. H.
Cargle.
At the clo. c e of the meeting on
Sunday afternoon, “How firm a
foundation” was sung, while sym
pathetic tears flowed, parting
hands clasped and then came the
benediction.
Taken all together this meeting
of the Chattooga Association was
thought by many to be better than
any previous session.
The Ladies Meeting.
None the less interesting to the
ladies was the Worn m’s Missionary
Union had on Saturday afternoon
at the school house. There were
reports from the five mission so
cieties of churches in the Associa
tion.
The amount raised during the
associational year and reported by
these was near $230.00.
There were read three interesting
letters from societies, one from J.
J. Taylor, missionary to Brazil, and
two papers—“ Precepts and Prom
ises” and “Working for Christ.”
Two recitations were sweetly
rendered by two little girls.
A scripture lesson, prayer and
songs w ere parts of the program me.
At the close of this meeting a
society consisting of eleven ladies
of Ebenezer church was organized

with 35 or 40 bales of cotton would
have been destroyed. It is thought
