A Hearty Welcome.

Ex-Congressman Cassidy arrived home
from Washington on yesterdays train and
was met upon his arrival at the depot by
host of friends, who extended TO him Q
most cordial welcome. For several hours
he held what might be termed a levee at the
Jackson House. so numerous were tine
callers and 80 large the continuous gather
ing about him. When it became dark
huge pile of wood was placed on Main
street, and in a few moments it WAS 6
blazing mass. Skyrockets were sent up
from several private residences OF MOI
Hill, and the Centennial Guard Band dis
coursed in front of the hotel som
beautiful music. Mr.. Cassidy was called
for by the large crowd that had collected
in the t~horoughfare, and making his ap
pearance on the porch of the hotel ht
warmly addressed his friends and thanked
them kindly for the serenade and demon
s~trstion and for the good will they had al
ways shown him. He apologized for in
PRODUCING politics, and then spoke in the
highest terms of President Cleveland snG
the conservative course he is pursuing il
the administration of Governmental mat
tiers. Mr.. Cassidy spoke for probably five
minutes in all, and his remarks were fol
lowed by three rousing cheers from tn
crowd for him. The welcome was mos
hearty and generous, and was entirely IN
expected by the ex-Oongressman.

An Amusing Scene.

Last Saturday two negro MEN
came to town with a negro boy to
have Judge Bell decide which
one was entitled to the guardian
ship of him. 1t seems that the
boy had left his guardian and
gone to the other negroes house,
who refused to give him up. The
matter not having been properly
presented to our worthy ordinary,
he did not take action. When it
came time to start home each ne
gro wanted the boy to go with
him. The guardian was prepar-
ing to tie him when the other
negro intercepted and, disputed
his right to take him! While the
quarrel was going on the little ne
gro decided to "heel it, for othor
quarters, and started down the
street at full speed. Both men.
started after him, but the guardi-
an seemed to- be- the feetest of
foot. He caught him somewhere
near the hotel, drug him to the
wagon, pitched him in, crawled in
and sat doBn4on him and gather.
ed the lines and started triumph
antly homeward.

The New Hotel

We were shown, a few evenings
since, by Capt. w. G. Dillon the
diagram he has drawn for a hotel
to be located on the lot where his
residence now stands. The plan
is a modern one and, il carried
out, will be, when completed, one
of the most slightly as we'll as con-
venient hotels in this part of the
State. 1t will be two stories high,
with twenty-six rooms and each
room well ventilated, which is so
much needed in most hotels. This
is a beautiful site for hotel and
would add greatly to our already
prosperous little city. Capt Dill
Ion is ready to commence the work
and is only waiting to consumate
the proper arrangements to have
it run by parties we'll known in
hotel circles.
