The attendance was good, there being
some twenty-five ladies present, George

place just before midnight. Forty
tickets were sold at twenty-five cents
each, every m drawing q prize-no
blanks. Ticket No. II held by Jim

by Berlew and Smith conducted the
drawing which furnished much amuse-
ment. Following this was the rattle Of
one of Ober's best cakes which brought
$50 and was won by Richard Mans
field White, who generously divided his
prize, giving everyonea taste. These
exercises furnished a pleasing variety
and were enjoyed. Supper was served
at Henry Ricketts, and it vas in keep

People may growl about the heat,
but there are two classes of this
community who pronounce the
present, ideal weather-those who
cultivate cotton and those who
cultivate poker. Poker thrives in
this genial climate at all seasons
of the year. In the very midst of
the severest winter the merry rat

coats, crayats, collars and such

Judge T0urgee Answers Northern
Critics.
IOnr Continent.l

OiI SOntintht.l
Several of our contemporaries
and some of our correspondents
have manifested considerable dis
pleasure on account Of the poem
entitled Memorial Day. which
appeared in No. 10. One of our
readers says that "if the Contln.
ent is to be the mouthpiece ofsuch
unreconstructed rebels as the au-
thor of that poem evidently Is,
you need not send 1t to me any
more" The others have not gone
so far, but are evidently hurt at
what they deem an expression OF
unsound feeling with regard to the
recent war. We have no apology
to make. The poem was written
by the editor of the Continent, to
be read on the occasion of the
decoration of the graves of the
Confederate dead, and contains
what he believes should be the
proper sentiment of the Southern
people for the heroes of the Con-
federate side. He does not know
whether he is sound on the ques-
tions underlying and growing out
of the war or not, but of one thing
he is sure; he is not predisposed
to the view attributed to him by
the critics of the poem, but rather
the reverse. lie saw the war from
the inside; was private soldier
in the Federal army at the outset ;
several months in Confederate
prisons, and still bears the un-
pleasant reminders of a service
which was earnest If insignificant.
For l4years afterits close he lived
among those whose best sentiment
the poem is intended to reflect.
He may be entirely wrong, but he
has an intense pride, as an Ameri-
can, in the achievements of these
men, has a profound pity for any
ex-Confederate who cannot in.
dorse the sentiments of the poem
and an unfathomable contempt for
any man who would have them
feel otherwise.

The G00se-B0ne.

"The goose-bone" has long been
an honored weather prophet, and
as we heard o reference to the
predictions on it yesterday, we
deemit not out of place to make
further illusions to this particular
kind of bone, and the manner in
which predictions are made with
il. In some Of the back counties
of Kentucky, Mississippi and Ten
nessee people make all their ar
rangements in accordance with the
predictions of the goosc-bone. In
some localities the bone is laid
aside and labeled with the year,
and 1t is said that in Kentucky
some old-time farmers have the
bones extending back for more
than forty years, and all the time
it is asserted that the bone has
never been mistaken in the wealth
er. To read correctly the winter
of any yesr take the breast-bone
of a goose hatched during the pre-
ceding spring. The bone is trans
lucent. and it will he found to be
colored and spotted. The dark
color and heavy spots indicate
cold. If the spots are of a light
shade and transparent, wet wealth
er, rain or snow may be looked
for. A few years ago when Hcc
and the rest Of mankind told of
the most severe winter ever known
the goose-bonc told Of a mild, open
winter, which proved to be fact.
Tice and vennor may change and
err every day. but old farmers say
the goose.bone never.

The purchase and construction ac.

This is a great deal of actual cash

over the matter, they have been
showing the work vigorously. The
new assessment put 100000 Of

Trains are now running thirty-four

The Confederate Constitution,


New York Star.
The other day | called upon
friend, a Southern gentleman well
known in literary circles. Bad
health, however, has been n sore
burden to him. After few mo-
ments talk he invited me into his
library. Producing a round tin
box, he spread before me roll of
parchment, which proved to be tho
original Provisional Constitution
of the Confederate States of Amt
erica, signed by Jefferson Davis,
Bob Toombs, Alex. IL. Stephens,
Ben Hill, aud all the other high
contracting parties. The sight of
this document, which decided the
fate of the slave population of the
United States, awed me. To de-
fend the validity of that parch-
ment or to prove it worthless, two
armies of tho noblest men God
ever created fought for four long
years over all the battlchelds that
lay between Bull Run and Gettys'
burg, until the struggle was ended
when Lee rendered his sword to
Grant at Appomattox, Courthouse
That document is the embodiment
of all the issues to settle which
the blood of tens Of thousands o.
brave men was shed, and whicl
desolated almost every household
from one end of the land to thu
other. After looking at it care
fully, ] asked my friend where III
, got it. "Saycd it, at the risk o
my life, from a burning building il

{ in 1865, and have kept 1t eve
since,r he replied. "What ar
you going to do with it 7" was m.
next query. II am compelled t

90 into the possession of the En-
glish. Aside from its historical
value, the fact of England's efforts
to make the claims Of that docn
ment good are remembered too
well to ever let it fall into Englisl
hands. That parchment, after thu

the most precious one ever execu
