ROUGH on FAIR.
He Made a MiscalculatinO About
the Train.

He Made a MiscalculatinO About
the Train.
OF course everybody has heard
of the story of Ben Cotton the
minstrel man who once stood on
the rear of Car platform just as
the train started and seeing a
stranger on the platform began to
abuse him as a thief and pick-pocket
as he shook his fist and threatened
to get even on him if he ever saw
him again aliv,. OF course Cotton
supposed that the train was about
to leave but presently it came to
sudden stand still and then backed
down again. By this time the man
on the platform had got warmed
up aud concluded he would see
what Cotton wanted and 90 him a
rattle anyhow. As Cotton saw,that
the train was backing him down
into the clutches of the stranger
| who was big and mad, he retreated
| into the baggage car and crawled
in behind some franks.
Something very much like this
happened to old Fair, not long ago.
He was on the train which stopped
at Palisade and a lot OF Eureka
political vampires were on the
platform.
Fair cast an eye over the group
and knew that he was In for it.
They crowded about him and
asked him if he was going to save
the party once more. He fought
shy and said that he thought his
| business interests must first be
looked after. He wanted no
Senatorial honors and every ad-
vance they made toward his sack
was skillfully parried.
He had talked fifteen minutes
and still not committed himself or
given a direct answer.
Finally Jack Perry who knows
the old coon we'll, gave the engln-
eer five dollars to start the train
up and then back again, the
engineer hooked on to the idea and
started the train. The instant the
train moved FAIR grabbed the Base
Rangers feelingly by the hand and
said.
Yes boys I'm a candidate and
propose to make the fight smoke fol
sixty days. SO long, | wish | could
stay longer and talk the thing
over"
He swung lightly On the rear Cal
and stood smiling and lifting his
beaver on the platform as the
train started off. Suddenly the
smile left his face as the train
slowed up and then his jaw
dropped as it came to a dead stand
still. Then 1t began to back him
right into the jaws OF the hungry
mob. The sweat stood in big beads
on Fair brow and as he saw the
Base Rangers gathering about the
spot, he slid Into the car and When
they crowded in he had vanished
They searched high and low but
he was gone. There was small
and beautifully furnished apart
ment in the upper left hand corner
of the sleeper, which locks from
the inside and they did moi
invade it's privacy.
OF course they knew he was there
, but [ would have have been piece
of bad breeding repugnant to the
chivalry of Eureka to have eve
knocked. So the train pulled of ane
the wiley old gentleman escaped

IN MIGRATION
A Chance to Reach out for 800
Families.

FanlnllcS-
Yesterday Mr.. John Drabek a
Bohemian who has lived over
thirty years on this Coast called at
the APPEAL Office and said that
he represented five hundred Bohe -
milan families who were seeking
homes in the West. They have
long been contemplating trip to
this Coast but had been stopped as
it were by the high railroad fares
They were now ready to make the
trip and he had been looking all
over the Coast to secure a location.
He had been furnished passes over
the G. &. G r. r. and had made a
thorough examination of the coun-
try along the line OF the road.
These families wanted to get
hold Of some Of the cheap lands IN
Nevada as the California land was
mostly high priced. The Califor-
MIA Immigration Society was backed
by business men and hotel keepers
in San Francisco who simply IN
vited the immigrants to come tt
San Francisco and spend all then
money.
He was surprised to End no lm
migration Society here as if there
had been one he would like to make
arrangements to take up land fo1
the 500 families. He showed sew
eral packages of letters from varl
ous parts of the United States tt
him 1nouiring after Nevada land.

A SIGN OF SURRENDER.
MilIedRevIlIe nti-Prohibit.Onists Re

MilIedgevIlle Anti-Pr0hibit!onists Re-
place Their Red Badges With White.
MILLEDGEvuLE, March 21.-Yester-
day was one of the memorable days in the
history Of MiIledgeville. The rain poured
down and the streets were very muddy,
butIn spite of this the town was crowd
ed with people from this and the four
counties adjoining. Some came to eat
the barbecue of the anti-PrOhibitiOnists
while others came to hear
the speech of DR.. A.. G. Hay
good. Owing to the rain the ants
did not have their barbecue, but substi-
tuted speaking instead. Several brass
bands and drum corps paraded the streets
all the morning, calling the crowd to the
different places OF speaking. Before the
speech Of Dir. HaygOod, the books OF the
different prohibition clubs were opened
for membership and about 40 names were
received. Then came beautiful temper
ance song from the choir, lead by Miss
Mamie Haygood, Of oxford, Ga. The song
was eheered for two minutes. Capt.
G. p. Crawford then introduced
the orator. DR., Haygood advanced TO
the front ofthe stage and made one of the
finest addresses ever heard here. He
spoke about two and a half hours and
with the grandest Of eloquence played
upon the heart strings OF his hearers. His
appeal to the ladies and his expose Of
the evils brought on by liquor were par
ticularly effective. The speech was ma
vored with just enough humOr to make it
enjoyed. A great many ants heard the
speech. 1t was delivered In the Amuse-
ment hall to a very large crowd OF nen,
mostly, with fair sprinkling OF ladies'.
The ants were hoping TO
have the hall after DR.. HaygoOd's
speech but were defeated in their plans by
the Prohibtionists remaining there all
day. All the barroOms IN town were
closed. All the merchants, except two,
have signed a contract 70 close their stores
on election day. The streets We're fairly
clogged with negroes and were almost
impossible. The ants changed their
colors and wore white instead Of red
badges. The Prohibitionists claim
that It is a sign Of surrender. The blue
badges are more numerous than
the white, and those that wear
the blue are more intelligent looking than
the bearers OF the white. The white ants
are ashamed TO wear badges ~ all. Your
correspondent will forward you the result
OF the election on Monday. The asylum,
about one hundred strong, will vote for
prohibition.

friends Ia Thomasville for several months
