a pistol. pointed II at the sitting man, and
said: Uncle Jimmy, if you attempt TO rise

Jimmy concluded to obey, though with i'll

Lamar was treating some Democratic fellow
citizen-, ~ a corner grocery, 70 benzIne or
wine, he heard an exultant voice cry out be-
hind him "Lucius,I have got you now"
Suiting the action to the word, Uncle Jimmy
let drive his muscular and list, which,
coming in contact with Lamar's head, caused
the body to stsgger and fall. Lamar rose
and Uncle Jimmy precipltated his huge bulk
against him, like a catapult. Then the Dem

seized by sinewy grips and told to release his

enough, on examination il was found that
Lamar had Uncle Jimmy's finger in his
mouth, and would not let II go, During The
melee Lamar had seized a skillet and made
quite a mess OF his burly foeman's face and
head. But this was the first time he had ever
been knocked down, and the last time until
Thursday afternoon. So, ii seems that IN
the annals OF Georgia, L. Q c. Lamar ante

INTER BLOSSOMS.

When roses in midwinter blossom,
And fragrance sweet around them shed,
As these have done which ill my room
With memories Of summers dead
With memories OF ether days
welcome them as friends, always.
And some are red, and some are white,
And some are tinted like the cheek
OF maidenheod before its blight
And some are strong and some are weak
But all are pure and innocent;
With their own chains, each one content.
And every bud. and every bloom
Reminds me Of some absent one.
And when one falls, unhappy door,
say, Death robs me OF my son
RObs me-nOt mimi Death leaves me poor
In want-but him, from want securei'
".
And so, for all my absent friends,
flower for each--this one for her
Whose very soul from mine descends,
This whitest one Oct no breath stir
To break the Spelllj !, feiGning, choose,
And christen with baptismal dews.

And after each, cen those who sleep
In dark rooms curtained from all eyes,
Who would not wake were to weep,
And child-like cali, " ith sObs and cries,
I've named-then | strange fancies weave,
TIL ccnjured forms my eyes deceive.

But all without, the wind and rain,
And oh within, the dying hours
And everywhere the voice OF pain,
Recalling from this feast of flowers,

Each winter blossom as IL friend.

noted Snowman is said to have wondered, in
contemplating our special advantages, at the
number of fools and half dollars within our
city limits. But in spite of the Islander Of
Dan Rice, We are visited by few companies,
either musical or dramatic; and the cele-
brated singers, lecturers and tragedians seem
to ignore us altogether. Last week however,
we were entertained by concert company,
and tomorrow night Charles L. Davis, the
comedian. is to appear at Masonic Hall as
81 ncle Alvin Joslin." Last ) iturday night
Randall's Convention and Concert Company
gave free entertainment at Masonic Hall.
The audience, though not large, was respect
able both in size and character. The COM
pany was composed of four persons: Mrs.
Fannie ]. Gabriel, soprano; Mrs. Lollie
B. Randall, alto; Charles H Gabriel,
tenor; and L. II. Randall, bass.
The concert consisted altogether of
vocal music, accompanied by the organ.
Comic quartets, duets, sentimental and
sacred songs were rendered, some with ex-
cellence, and all with spirit. At the con-
clusion Of the entertainment Prof. Randall
came forward and said that the object of the
concert was to organize a class in vocal
music. With the aid of a diagram he illus
trated his method of teaching, and said he
wished to obtain sixty scholars, at 81 80
each, for q weeks tuition. Only half the
required number were secured and the class
was not organized, and the company left the
next day. They made very favorable i'm
preston while here, and many of our citi-
zens are sorry that they failed TO obtain a
class.
