A Dirty Trick.
In another place we give our readers
an account of how a good hoy was treat¬
ed by a brute, purpoiting to be a revenue
officer. The boy, Jasper Marion Munroe,
comes from one of the best families of
the county, and is a sober and inoffensive
boy; it is said, loves bis mother better
than all the world, and the boy who loves
. and is so attentive to a good mother like
Mrs. Munroe, can't be a bad boy.
When arrested the oflicei promised Mr.
Munroe that bo would see that his boy
bad the proper attention. He carried
the boy off and while on his way to Tal¬
lapoosa we learn that the officer took a
woman of ill repute in the buggy with
them and at one time left the boy by
himself for an libur or more. He gave
the boy liis supper Monday night and car¬
ried him to Atlanta where he managed to
have him bound over and put in jail.
Wednesday morning at 8 o’clock bis
breakfast was givi^i him in jail, being
the only food he had had since Monday
night. No sooner than Mr. Neill Munroe
of Tallapoosa, heard of his imprisonment,
made a bond and the boy was released
and lost in Atlanta as the Constitution
states.
Mr. B. O. Munroe says he wants to
thank the following parties from the in¬
nermost recesses of hisheart for the as¬
sistance rendered bis boy.
Following is a card be received from
Mr. trim:
“Myself aud others made up this young
man's railroad fair. Mr. Durand, who
keeps the restaurant at the carshed gave
IriuL his supper. When you need us,
■call.

If the hyphenated Tribune-of-Rome is
a friened to the Alliance, as it insists on
being, then the enemies of the Alliance
, are as “scarce as hen’s teeth.”
The young man who starts out in life
with a bottle of whisky in one pocket and
a pistol in the other, is on strait road to
the devil, with a down grade all the way.

Yes; and the stations on this load are
•named prison, chamgaug, penitentiary
and gallows. Some, however, take the
short rout, murder.
The Tribune-of-Rome set up a third
party of Jeffersonians (?) last fall and was
defeated. Now her blatant mouth is
spread from ear to ear for fear the Alli¬
ance will set up a third party. The Tri¬
bune had better be looking after her
“Jeffs.” Some of them down this way
are going astray. One of them has gone
so far as to give vent to liis ideas in pub¬
lic print, which smacks smartly with
third party ism.
Master John Dowell, who lives with his
parents on College Hill, put in about
live acres of cotton this season. A por¬
tion of it was washed up by the floods,
and sumo failed to sprout and had to be
replanted. The whole crop is now in a
flourishing condition, and promises to
handsomely reward the industrious
young man. He cultivates it himself,
and it would be a difficult matter to find
a single weed in the entire patch. John
is about 12 years old, and his energy is
sufficient to cause the average farmer to
hide liis head iu shame for even intimat¬
ing that he cannot keep the weeds out of
liis cotton.—McKinney (Texas) Enter¬

MASON’S DAY.
Saturday morning at an early hour the
people began to crowd into our little city
from all quarters. The great object be¬
ing to witness the laying of the corner
stone'of the new court house by the Ma¬
sons. Quite a number of distinguished
Masons were on hand—Tallapoosa, Waco,
Draketown and otliei lodges being well
represented.
They marched from the hall to the
speaker’s stand in regular order at about
9 o’clock, a. m., and public services were
opened by singing and prayer led by Rev.
Tbos. Powell, of Bremen. A hearty wel¬
come was extended to all the people by
Mr. 'I'. P. Moore in his usual hearty and
earnest manner, Mr. John W. Price
then introduced the speakers, the first
being Mr. W. W. Beauchamp, who gave a
very interesting talk on the mission of
Masonry, saying that Masonry made bet¬
ter men by making duty more impressive
and keeping it constantly before them.
Rev. Thos. Powell was the next speaker,
who said the great secret in Free Mason¬
ry was holiness at heart, and that there
was more pure friendship inside,the fra,
tenuity than anywhere else. N ext came
Rev. David Bryant, of Temple, who made
an interesting speech, and then Mr. Row¬
an, of Tallapoosa, who said, among other
good things, that the object of Masonry
was not for financial gain, but many help¬
less orphans had been edneated and they
knew not from whence it came, aud the
best friend females had was Masonry, for,
he said, a true Mason would no more
turn a cold hand to the wife or daughter
of a brother Mason than he would to his
own, Rev. J. M. Crow, of Waco, was
then introduced, and it goes without say¬
ing taht he always has something inter¬
esting to Say. He said that he had had
the pleasure of “riding the goat,” and had
never regretted it. Mr. W. W. Ragan
then spoke for some time very interest
inglyand enthusiastically on Masonry, at
the close of which Mr. T. P. Moore told
the people there was plenty to eat spread
upon the table just before them, and all
were welcome to eat. All did eat and an
immense quantity was left.
After d. nner the Masons marched back
to the hall aud from there to the place
where the corner stone was lo be laid,
and through the regular order of laying
cornei stones, the corner stone of Haral¬
son’s new court”house was placed down
by this time-honored fraternity, and was
then dedicated by pouring on corn, wine
and oil. The stone bears the following
inscription: “July 18, 1891 A. L. 5891.
T. P. Moore, W. M.,” and a square and
compass is engraved iu one end.
Mr. T. P. Moore spoke very interesting¬
ly aDout liow an only copy of the Bible
was preserved for 400 years in a corner
stone laid by the Masons. For this, all
Christendom owes the Masons an inex¬
pressible debt of gratitude. We are no
Mason, but we have reason to believe
tlier mission is that of charity, and we
bid them God speed.
A goodly number of things were placed
under the stone as relics, but wc have
failed to find out what all aud by whom.
If all will report we will take pleasure in
publishing them. Acopy of thelSxNNEK
Messexgek containing a picture of the
new courthouse was placed under the
stone,and as is always the custom,a Bible
was placed there by Mr. J. S. Edwards.
The Georgia Alliance Monthly says,
“some Alliancemeu have actually reached
t-liat place where they are afraid that an
exposure of corruption iu leaders will
destroy the order.” 1 It doeseu’t have ref¬
erence to the exposure of Burks and Nor
then we presume.

LITTLE CREEK.
Banneh-Messexgkk.— There is still
some desolations in this section, Mr.
and Mrs. Bailey’s little infant died last
week, and Mr. and Mrs. Garner’s, that
has suffered so long, was called home to
cease from suffering last Wednesday
night. It was an object of pity and a
great sufferer in this world, though it is
a saint now and knows no afflictions,
and we all .ought to feel thankful when
wre think of one that is so happy for ev¬
er. The bereaved have our sympathy.
Well, the old widow Gober is improv¬
ing as fast as you ever saw one in her
condition, and it is probable that she
will get up again.
Mr. J. W. Hulsey, best known by the
name of Dick, has give up his crop to Mr.
J. J. Garner as he was renting of his land
and got behind. Dick has been married
once before be married his present wife.
Tiie first one died here in this section
and he married again aud now his last
wife and he have separated and he is go¬
ing to take children and go to Texas and
leave his wife with her first husband’s
little boy to shift for themselves. His
first wife had one little boy and his last
wife bad one by her first husband, and
one by Dick. He took it and his first
one aud left. It has been said for some
time that they were not getting along
agreeably and if such was the case, best
that they were not together. Fanny
married Dick contrary to the wishes of
her first husbands father and he says it
was to spite him as she had done all else
she could to give lnm trouble by the aid
of Bill Brumbeloe and his mother and
some others and it has come back home
to her. Again, there are so many that
are like the young man was who owned
the fine horse and his neighbor owned
one that was just a little finer and it made
him mad because people said John had a
fine horse. So there was a night meet¬
ing in the settlement and he told some
one that if John was there
he would shave his horses tail that
night. So John was there and the boy
that he told thought what a good joke it
would be for him to shave his own hor¬
ses tail, and when hitched his horse the
one he had told moved John’s and tied
his in the place where John’s was, then
went to him and said you better do what
you are going to do and get in the house
and stay there until meeting is over, so
John will not think it was you. As both
horses were bays with a white spot in the
face, he took no thought of it being his
own horse and shaved his tail and went
in the house and sit down by John. So
the boy that was running the joke went
and moved his horse back where he had
tied him and tied John’s back again and
when day had come it aupeared that he
had made a mistake and shaved the
wrong tail and it works out that way iu
a great many cases. They shave the
wrong tail.
