Thursday night, An address at the court
house was delivered by Capt w. J. Hud-
son, on the objects and benefits of the order
After which, a large number repaired to
MeCutcheon 5 Hall, where ice cream. cake,
and lemonade, were supplied in rich abun
dance. The Cornet Band at intervals dis
coursed delightful music, making the occas
ion one of pleasure and enjoyment The
entertainment in its management through
out reflected credit upon all concerned. =
When we left the Han, the Young folks
were keeping time to the music of Rogers
string band in the full enjoyment of those
Terpsichorean pleasures that make the hours
fly swiftly by The X. of H., and X. & l..
OF H., are growing rapidly, adding to their

/ a.. The people of Georgia, according to
Rev. Mr. Richardson's statistics gathered at
Washington. pay tax of$49 q head per
year, upon every inhabitant for whisky, a
tax greater and more oppressive than that
which demagogues and politicians complain
1 about when they want office. New York
paws annually $i0l per head for whisky
and California $l04, The State of Maine
where they have prohibitory liquor law
pays only $13 per head. Quitea difference.
1 Over six hundred and sixty seven million
dollars are annually paid for whisky in the
United States, to say nothing about that
which is struggled in and ilictly distilled
and sold. These are startling figures and
explain to some extent why hard times and
taxes haunt the people, Here is place for
''retrenchment and reform politicians to
devote their best energies.
Marietta had small scare last Friday
morning by the alarm of Fire y cry that
is always fraught with distress and which
meets with ready response by all classes.
A brick residence, on Atlanta street. occu
pied by the family of Mr. Jack Abbott, was
discovered to be ON fire in It's Single roof
the blaze leaping several feet high, as If IL
defied extinguishment The fire engine
was on hand, but want of water rendered it
unavailable A manly fight with buckets
OF water however, soon had the flames un
der control and finally put out. The furnl-
ture, bedding etc, were all carried out OF
the house in confusion and piled in the
street The house is the property of Mr..
A. J. Cheney, and is insured.
"A poor, rheumatic negro was on the
street the other day, with stick and a
crutch to aid him in his locomotion.-
We have never before seen being so com
pletely twisted and warped by disease. One
leg was drawn double, thereby reversing the
position of his other leg, making it appear
as if the upper part Of the body had twisted
J itself around to just opposite to where it
should be. He can't occupy chair, but
has to reclne on the ground in an unnatural
attitude He hobbies sideways on one leg
He is about % years old and physically in
capable of doing any work, save feeding
gin.
The firm of W. j. Kiser & Co., not
withstanding the dull season. are doing a
lively business, which may be accounted for
by low prices on the very best quality of
goods This firm seems to understand the
wants of the people to degree that attracts
trade and keeps it, w. j. Kiser has the
tact of long experience, and Cicero G. Kiser
has had the benefit of all this for a number
of years, and consequently his energy and
perseverance, coupled with his cleverness
and courtesy makes him popular with all
classes Don't fail to give this house call
when you want cheap bargains.
Now, that is the way VIC like to be
treated How? Why to havea bucket
of Ice Cream sent to you, just as you are
perspiring from every pore That is the
way our gentlemanly young friend, Mr..
Henry Schoenthall remembered us on
Wednesday, and you may rest assured that
it was appreciated, for, as Blind Tom would
say, it was $50 cool and nice. Mrs.
Schoenthall knows how to make good ar
ticle of Ice Cream, and never fails to please
the taste of the most fastidious. When
YOU want this frozen tactical food go to
Mrs. SchoenthalI's Ice Cream parlor and
Henry will give you big plate-iull' for
small amount of money.
