the Press.
QUITMAN, GA, Dec. 2S.-Editor Morning
-Ne1cs : \ grand masquerade was held at
Court Han, in this place, last evening. for the
benefit of the Brooks County Library The
youth and beauty of this section were present.
1t would be too great task to describe the
many costumes.
The character of ''SnOw" was beautifully
represented by Miss Hattie Denmark.
"Folly," whose dress was of red and yellow,
decorated with an infinite number of tiny
silver bells, was splendidIy carried out by
Miss Emma Denmark. Miss Josie Jelks was
perfect beauty as Little Bo Peep"
Miss Tilly Mccall won the admiration of all
as ''Maud Muller;" Miss Matte Hunt of Ma
rietta, Ca, was the veritable ''Alrs. Micaw-
ber:'' Miss Laura Baker, of NaldOsta. was Il
very pretty "Gipsy Fortune Teller" Miss l..
GTifhn, of Madison. Fla, was perfect in the
character of Night
Great interest was manifested in the news
paper contest for the most popular paper.
Each vote cost nickel. Six papers entered
the list for this honor by masked young ladies
with dresses made of eOch paper. The MORN
ING NEWS received a large vote. When an
nOunced, its popularity among our people was
evidenced by hearty applause. You were rep
resented by Brooks cOunty's fairest daughter.
Miss Jennie Sinclair. Well did the dress Of
the MORNING NEWS become her graceful form.
No one can ever forget the hcatfic face of
Col. Sentry on being presented TO the NEWS.
He gallantly offered her his arm and was devO-
ton itself to this character the balance of the
evening. The Macon Telegraph was repre-
sented by one of QUitman's belles-Miss MOllie
Creech. Her cOnquests are many. Miss
Salle Archer persOnated the ThOmasville
Times. Had the editor of that paper been
present he would no longer desire to be a
bachelor. With her grace and beauty and a
dress of the Times even the stout hearted
Triplett would have surrendered. Miss
Clara Averra wore a dress of the
Madison (Fla.) Recorder. Her disguise
was perfect She was one of the
bellies of the evening and the special admira
tiOn of Editor Beggs. Miss Flora Thomas
represented the NadOsta Times. She was
very popular. and friend PendletOn should
feel proud of her laurels. Miss COrine HUI
bert was handsomely dressed in the Quitman
Free Press. She was greatly admired.
Among the visitors present were Professor
L. $. McSwain and lady. of ThOmasville;
Misses Ashley, Mrs. Henry Briggs and Miss
smith, Of Yald0sta; Miss Alma Tharp, of
Houston county, and Miss Laura Smith, of
Thompson, and Miss Annie Marshall, South
Carolina.
The success and happiness of the occasion is
greatly due to the untiring energy of our
popular Librarian, Miss Lille PierpOnt.
At 10 o'clock Professor Ponder introduced
his splendid string band. and the merry dance
ran into the small hours of the morning.

fresh oysters, just from the coast. were furn-

Their Revolvers.

The Slayers Of Jesse James Assail q
Boston Audience with the Butts of
Their RevOlvers.
Boston, Dec. 3O.-During the Lecture
tonight by the Ford brothers, in one of
the subsidiary halls in the Horticultural
building, fremont street, an exciting
scene occurred, and ''rough'' loudly ex-
pressed the opinion that the brothers were
mo gOOd.' His reflection upon their
prowess was Immediately taken up by
the Fords, who drew their reyolvers,
and brandishing them III a terrifying
manner leaped from the stage into the
midst Of the audience, apparently bent on
slaughter. The audience stampeded i'm
mediately, and such was their haste that
many sought egress through the windows,
smashing the sashes to facilitate their
exit. The hall is on the ground
floor and the windows open directly on the
street. Policeman Robinson. who heard
the crash of glass and saw people rum
ming from the hall. made his way into the
building and seized both brothers. who
had assaulted several people with the butt
end of their revolvers. The officer pro-
posed to take them to the police station
and they desired to be allowed to buckle
on their reYOlvers, avOWing they were in
fear of their lives. The officer would not
permit this, and started with them under
arrest, but the proprietor of the show
interfered, setting forth that
his enterprise would be a
financial failure if the FOrds were not
allowed to stay and finish according to
programme, and finally prevailed upon
the officer to allow the performance to
proceed, not, however, until the latter had
taken the names of seven assaulted par
ties as witnesses and exacted a guarantee
that the FOrds would appear when wanted
by the nOIice.
