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. W. M. Cum. 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. —Carroll County Tunes. 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¬ prise.

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.

KKSOlAmOKS BV COUNTY AUI.IANCK. \V lie reus, The subject of prohibition has been submitted to the legal voters of Haralson county—said voters having said by their ballots that they favored prohi¬ bition, and that said law has given satis¬ faction inn measure, and whersas we are informed that the city council of the town of Tallapoosa will petition the legislature at its session to repeal said act as to said town, leaving the business of controlling the liquor trafic in the bands of said coun¬ cil, Therefore be it Resolved, That wo, the Haralson Comi¬ ty Alliance, most earnestly request the legislature not to repeal said lavr, and we ask our Senator and Represeusative to use their influence to defeatsaid bill, aud to cast their own votes against the same. We ask the Southern Alliance Farmer and Bannkk-M less f.ngkis to publish there resolutions, and all papers favorable to prohibition to copy the same. The above resolution was unanimously adopted.. A. L. Newman, Sect. 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. John Spjxkins. II Why pay other dealers Tacts, and $1.00 for a chill cure when yon can get Planta¬ tion Chill Cure, a better one, for 50 cts.?— C. W. Ault.
