Some Old Papers.

From the Tdibofton (Gd.) Mem Era.
A room in the court house containing a
lot OF old papers was cleaned out" few
days since aud many of the papers were
thrown into the shallow old we'll in the
court house yard. Several of the boys and
the young men of Talbotton have developed
quite Penchant for collecting stamps Of
all nations and denominations, and they
looked among these papers in quest Of
rare stamps. Among the papers
they found many ''casas" com
manding that the bodies Of certain
individuals be taken and safely kept, in
order that they might appear before certain
courts, etc. They also found LETTER from
Gov. Brown, of Georgia, written during the
war to parties in Talootton, who had ap-
pied for a license 10 put up distillery. In
the letter the Governor refused TO grant
the license and stated that he could issue no
more licenses to distillers until he knew
whether or not there was sufficient bread in
the country to feel the people. Many OF
the letters found were written long before
the war, and were folded, sealed with a
wafer, and addressed, no envelope being
used

Georgia Funeral Directors Association, W
Ed Platt, of Augusta, President, G. E. Hen
derson, of Marietta, Secretary, and John
f. Barclay, of Atlanta, Treasurer, with
about forty of the members, met at the
court house in AIilledgeville, Tuesday. They
spent the most of they in discussing and
organization of and tug general good of the
association. About twenty new members
were admitted to the association. beside five
honorary members, being commercial trav.
elers. The association is young yet, having
been organized on May 4, 1886, with about
seventy members, and the secretary's re-
port, read to day, showed an increase OF
100 per cent. to date.
Prof. j. II. Clarke, the noted embalmer
and lecturer, of Springfield. o., and father
of the organization, made happy lit
tie speech, in which he said, with apparent
sincerity, taking everything into conSidera-
ton, moral and social standing and execu-
tive ability and general merit, that Geor-
gia is the best State Undertakers' Associa-
ton in the Union. The ladies had decor
ated the courtroom with flowers as a COM
phment to she association, for which the
organization gave them vote of thanks.
In the vestibule Of the court house stand
three elegant caSkets-two deliberately or.
namented in silver and nickel trimmings,
and one a most expensive one covered with
BLACK cloth, silk chenille trimmings, with
Vail the metallic parts gold-plated valued at
$780, exhibited by Edward N. Lupfer Sec
rotary of the Springfield Metallic Caskot
Company.
The association is composed Of a fine
looking and intelligent set of gentlemen,
and far from funereal. Some of,their DELHI
erations were characterized by sallies of

a We'll of Ice Water.

From the TalbottoN (Gd,l NeU Era.
A drummer visiting Geneva remarked
that large block OF ice thrown into well
in the spring would lower the Temperature
of the water, and that the water would
continue cool through the greater part Of
the summer. Judge Gambler wishing to
test the matter, and desiring cooler water,
procured an immense block of ice and
dropped it into his well. The water that
was not splashed out when the ice struck it
was cool enough for few hours, but by the
next morning it had assumed its normal
temperature. Occasionally drummers will
advance erroneous ideas.
