The first issue of the pu per appeared lust Sunday. It is a six-column paper of six teen pages, and is ably edited und . exceedingly attractive in all its de¬ partments. The Tribune is published by Mr. Carl G, Link every Sunday morn ing. o Tilbotton's New Postmaster. VV. O. Delquch, a prosperous merchant ot Tailw»tton, lias been appointed pi,st master at t hut place. A negro named Douglas had re¬ ceived the endorsement of the re¬ publicans, and his chances were good for receiving the appointment but. after the lynching of Dr„Ry der the negro withdrew from the contest. After ull there may be some good in lytichings. Only One Thing Wrong. A friend of ours, iy sjieaking of the News a few days ago, said : “t sw only one thing wrong ’ with now,” your,puper This remark naturally put us to thinking. The fact that u private citizeti could acts only one tiling wxong with the News, and know¬ ing as we did thut he was a close observer, caused us to inquire whut that one thiug Wiu>, promising that we would use <tur best endeavors to bring abi/ut a remedy for the trou¬ ble. “Well,” said he, “our home merchants do not advertise in its columns as they should. They are not doing whuf they might towards its support, and are not as liberal in their patronage as they should be.” Said Jie, “Every business man, and every professional man in town ought to have an advertise ment in your paper.“ Of course we agreed with him in this particular, and we trust that cm man doing business - here, though it be on a small seslit, will lakethe wine view that our friend did, and give us an advertisement of their business. It will be but a small outlay compared to the in crease jt will bring you. Try it. Advcrlise liberally, and show to the world that your busi ness is no drag and your town is not dead. - w .. \\ anted— A few frjing sized chickens in payment for subscrip lions.. Bring them to the News i ANegroPo3t “ for Ath At last the appointment of a postmaster for Athens has been made, and Pink Morton is the suc¬ cessful man. • This does not please the people of Hie Classic City, and if rumors are true, Morton may not be post master very long. He is a very impudent mulatto, and is the father of a great deal oY trouble which arises among the negroes of our sister city. It had been hoped that Postmas¬ ter O’Farrell could retain the office, but McKinley has in more than one instance shown his preference for the negro. The good people of Athens have a right to feel indignant about the appointment, and if Pink Morton is ever seen flouting down the Oco¬ nee river it will not be a surprise to us. The post office will, in all proba¬ bility be managed by negroes, thus making it unsafe and unpleasant for ladies to even enter the office to mail a letter or buy a stamp. The admfnjstration of President McKinley is disgusting in all its details. Grand Free Show and Lecture. This afternoon Professor Hucka bay. the funny American Elocu¬ tionist and Lecturer, will give a free show on the school house lot, und everybody are invited to come out. Some of the most daring feats on record will be performed on a slen¬ der wire only three-eighths of an inch in thickness. The show in the afternoon will be free to all, and it will interest all who witness it. To-night an entertuinment will be given hi the large tent, and Prof, lluckuhay will interest all who attend with his wonderful pc culiuriiic* of tlie human voice. Ventriloquism and mimicry will lie the main features of the enter¬ tainment, und he will produce sounds with amuziug accuracy and distinctness ut the immense distance of 300 yards. The lecture on the Wonderful Scknico of Natural Magic will both instruct and amuse the audience, und will be strictly moral in every particular. So bring your wives and children to the free show this afternoon, und then you will hear all about the lecture to-night. O A Negro Child, a Wagon and a Mule. A few days since Mr. Joe Co mer, who lives near Athens found in his back yard a mule and wagon and in the wagon was a little negro girl about six yeurs old. Ue couldn’t find out anything about the owners of the property or who the child was. So he noti tied Constable Bailey \vho_ came over to get the wagon and mule and the child. On his way buck to the city he met a negro woman who took the child. The wa K° n and ,mde wc re brought over to the city, but the , °' vncr has ,M>t been fou,,d and thc woman and the child have disappeared. . The whole affair -seemed to be " rapped up in mystert—Athens ^ anner ‘ Ia a radius of one mile of each otl » tr •*» * neighborhood on Buck Creek, Carroll county, there are four famt lies that have childreu, all living. The families are : Dick Carter, w ho has thirteen ; « . Hwper. CW: aX. Snow. ten. and Jol'« .Stephens ten. Eli Terrell also lives iu the same neighborhood and has had FLANAGAN ON TRIAL. Murderer of Mrs. Allen and Miss Slack Before the Bar of Justice. : Edward C. Flanagan was put on trial for his life at Decatur, Ga., Monday morning in the DeKalb su perior court. 1 ^ ere was a big crow d in Decatur, but little excitement and very little talk of lynching, as the people seemed to have faith in the court. Flanagan will first have to answer for the murder of Mrs. Nancy Allen. His other victim was Miss Ruth Slack. Flanagan’s leading attorney made a determined but unsuccessful effort to obtain a change of venue. He attempted to show that the state of the public mind in DeKalb county was so intense against 1* hinagan that it would be impossible to secure a fair and impartiaUtrial for him. The motion for a change of venue, however, was successful combat ted by the prosecution and Judge Candler ordered the trial to P ro * cee{ j The trial has on all . the week, and up to* the hour of going to press it looks very much like a mistrial may be made. Flanagan’.attomJys seem deter- he mined to convince the jury that is insane, but bis own which he made last Tuesday is to convince any fair-mind¬ ed man that be is not so far de mentedbut that he knows right from wrong. o j WANTS $29,000 DAMAGES * - 1 « Ike Taylor Enters Suit Against Tt e Seaboard. _ Ike Pay ter, colored,''<Mto>fh his attorney, Judge GeorgeC.

Score 16 to 10.” In the first place, the Bogart team did not go to Jefferson, only ^ wo members of the team went » and they played with another team, Secondly, There was no game pluy ed. as it takes five innings to be called a game, and only two in liings were played. The rain broke up the game ut theend of the second inoing. Thus the Herald has placed us in un untrue light, and we desire the statement of the Herald to be cor reeled. One of the Bogart Team.
