Terrible Accident.

ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. 16.-One of
the most terrible railroad accidents
ever known in Georgia occurred last
night at midnight, fifteen miles from
this city, on the Georgia Pacific road.
The East Tennessee and Georgia Pa
citic road use the same track to Aus
tell, and last night the Georgia and
Pacific mixed train, with a coach and
one sleeper, stopped at tank to get
water. The coach and sleeper were
on a trestle thirty feet high. The
East Tennessee fast passenger train,
going at a speed of thirty miles per
hour, struck the sleeper and engine
and went nearly half way through it.
The wreck was terrible. The fireman
sprang overheard and received slight
injuries. The engineer held to his
throttle and was unhurt, but ten pas
sengers were killed outright and
others seriously injured.

This club was organized some
months ago as social amusement for
the young people comprising it, and
the entertainment was great credit
to them and highly enjoyable affair.
MissBaden sustained her usualreputa-
tionin accompanying as organist. The
ushers, Messrs. Baden and Loman,
were very active in seating the large
audience. The /" Baron' was well
represented by Mr.. John Leavy with
his German accent. He kept every
body convuIsed with laughter. Mr..
Many, as the English swell, became
perfect dude" of the American
type. Miss Mamie Kemp was as
sprightly as ever i'll a beautiful toilet
Miss Cora Marlatt would have
charmed a professional. She certainly
has talent for an amateur. Miss Mol
lie Anderson was a genuine Bridget.
Miss Helen Grub, as Iady's maid,
showed herself an adept. Her family
cap was captivating. Miss Daisy
Cavalier, who gave us two solos, in
the absence of Miss Minnie Chambers,
showed a cultivated voice. When the
'' Good night was sung the sound
made us linger. Our ex-postmaster,
who is always on the g qui vive,"
came forward, thanked the audience
for their attention and patronage,
and on behalf of the club, expressed
regret that Miss Minnie Chambers
was detained at home by a severe
cold. I hope 1 have not omitted to
give honor to whom is due. 1 will
say, in conclusion, they were all we'll
up in their parts, that it would be
invidious to single out any one. The
entertainment was held before the
Christmas holidays, as most of the
"Calliopeans" lend q helping hand
to the Sunday Schools for the chill
dren's entertainments at that time.
The Sunday Schools are practicing
the usual Carols. Wishing you many
returns of the New Year and best
wishes for departure of old, l am
yours, OBSERVER.

Beautiful Christmas.

in thought to the fresh and CHEEKY
Xmas experiences of the long ago, and
feel the glow of youth in their veins
anew? How the hearts of the chill

childish delight, sing psalms to old
Kris Kringle, believing for their very
life in his personal reality? OH!

fill the cups of another's pleasure and
sending substantial messengers in the
form of angels visits of peace and
good will to the hearts and homes of
those who tread the humber walks of
life. Yes, another Christmas, beauti-
full in its commemoration, in its past
pleasures and joys, its happy reunions

Young Turkeys.

Pen the turkeys about the time they
commence laying, and you will have
no trouble nth them when they want
to sit. Do not take the young turkeys
IF until twenty.four hours after hatch
ing. Feed for day or two on bread
and clabber, with onions and lettuce
cut fine; also red pepper occasionally
| then give grits made up with clabber
or some milk in the morning; bread,
Irish potatoes and onions at dinner,
and diy grits at night. l always give
Il EN- clabber or milk to drink.
Never let them out until Q O'Clock in
the morning until some weeks old
Always drive and pen at night until six
weeks old. After that turn them out,
and they can take care OF themselves.
Coops for young chickens should
have plank floors. Move The coops
every other day and clean well, as
dampness is the cause of most diseases
in young chickens and turkeys Cor.
