Two Georgians' Experience in Gotham.
Calhoun Times.


Two citizens of Gordon county recently
uade up purse of $500 among a few
of their friends and went to New York
city for the purpose OF investing in
what is commonly known as "green
goods or counterfeit money. They
had been corresponding with New York
parties and all the preliminaries had been
arranged. For $500 IN genuine money
they were to receive $4,000 of the spurious
stuff. Arriving in New York, they soon
found their bogus friends and pro-
ceeded with them to their headquarters.
They were led by various and winding
ways to a room, where the sharpers
counted out the $4,000 to them and took
their $500. The Gordon county men were
highly elated at their success and :,
pocketing the money, started to return
to the street, when they were met in the
hall by FIVE men dressed as policemen,
who arrested them and took them in to
another room, whore they were searched
and relieved of the $4,000 received from
the sharpers. They were told of the
crime they committed in handling the
spurious money and threatened with I'M
prisonment, but finally accepted the prop
osition of release upon the terms that
they would return without an inyestiga-
ton.
They were glad to accept any terms of
release and the next train found them
speeding on their way home, wtsre they
are now sadder but wiser men.

A Handsome Work.

There hangs at Letchworth estab-
lishment on Houston street, a directory
of the public schools of Fort Worth
which IN many respects is unique and
iuimitable. The work is framed in a
handsome wood, and at the top has q
design in free hand penmans hip executed
by Professor G w. Ware, Instructor of
penmanship in the city schools, which is
considered by critics TO be in the highest
style of the art. Beneath this heading
the principals and teachers in all the
schools have autographed their names,
there being forty mine OF them in all ,aud
the school board have signed as well.
The whole is original in design, and ar
tistic in execution, and worthy glance
from any interested in such work.

Typographical.

Among the many religious revivalists
the Rev. "Sam'' Jones. Samuel P.
Jones was born in Gainesville, Ga. in
1919. His father was lawyer, but sew
eral of his ancestors were connected with
the ministry. Sans early life was
marked by restlessness and recklessness
that threatened nothing but evil, but the
death Of his father led to the conversion
of the young man. Such q scene as was
witnessed in that chamber Of death is not
often beheld. The hour was tragic;
falling on the floor the prodigal son cried
out: al III quit, IL quit; God be merci-
full TO me sinner. - The great change
came by the renewing power of the Holy
Spirit. The young convert soon had a
desire to preach and in 1872 was admitted
to the North Georgia conference, but it
was not until 1876, in Floyd county,
Georgia, that he emerged from obscu-
rity. For over ten years he labored in
the various churches in his native state,
but in 1881 went to Alabama. He in
turn visited Florida, Mississippi, Ken
lucky, Texas, Tennessee, South Caro-
lima, New York, Ohio, etc. His audi
ences ran into the thousands, and in
Nashville, Tenn, he was so successful
that crowds were turned away nightly.
a fluent writer thus eulogizes him: "In
approaching a platform on which Sam
Jones stands, surrounded. by thousands
of upturnee faces, what arrests
attention is his utter freedom
from clericalism in any of
his characteristics. His attitude
his tones of.voice, his forms of expression
have all the naturalness and FRESHNESS of

work 1t is called "A Short History of the
Confederate States.'' 1t is book worth
reading. 1t throws new light upon the
Confederate cause, and while the author
held firmly to his old beliefs age somewhat
melowed his writings and the story is told
with frank and easy grace, that shows
rather the character of an elder brother
who was in the wrong and while not willing
to admit it was courteous enough to discuss
the affair in an affable manner. In this
work all the papers that the eX-President
of the Coufederacy possessed were utilized
1t may be taken as his last word. In reality
it is voice from the grave.
1t is not q little curious that while the
presses are printing this book two women
one in the South, the other in the North
sitting alone with their coDscienceS in the
twilight of their lives should each be writ

of General Grant is now occupied IN wiring

received from him when the great war hero

mighty interesting volumes are bound to be
the result. Both books are almost ready for
the printer, and the writer's may be de-
pended upon to look at their idols through
eyes believed with the tears of grateful
love and memory.
And while these women are performi ng
this labor the only child of Jefferson Davis,
the Daughter of the Confederacy, is pre-
pairing her trousseau, for in few weeks
she is to wed the man of her choice,
staunch Northerner, resident OF New
York State, and she will make her home in
the future not in the land of her childhood
in sunny Mississippi, but in the State that

which neither redress nor security against

colonies decided to sever their connection

Two Mnsqueraders Deceive Their Host

Two Mnsqueraders Deceive Thor Host
and Fellow Company.
A trick that was amusing for the COM
pleteness of the deception was recently car
ried out at a masked party. The dancing
was kept up until midnight and supper was
postponed until that hour in order to delay
the unmasking. Just as the guests had
reached the supper-room couple of police
men presented themselves at the door and
insisted upon being allowed to 90 into the
house. Finding the host in the midst of the
guests, and the fun of the surprises of the
u nmasking just at its height, the policemen
demanded of him the names Of his guests.
1.-THE names of my guestS?" the host re-
peated in surprise.
Yes, sir; we must make list Of them"
"Ntake list of them ?" the gentleman re-
peated again, with growing indignation.
"What an INSULT l never heard of such a
thing"
orders"
The guests were as indignant as their
host, but there was nothing to do but to
submit, and some very sagelv remarked
that the simplest thing was to give the man
list and let him go, as no harm could come
of letting the police have the names, al
though. of course they had been sent for
under mistake. While the list was being
written, and the company were standing

nation or sympathy with the host, one of
the policemen stepped coolly up to the sup
portable and helped himself to a glass of
champagne.
Look here, my man," the host said
angrily, the law may give you, power to
come into my house and take list of my
guests, but 1t certainly does not give you
any claim on my wine"
"Why, thought that was included in
my invitation" the policeman responded,
dropping into his natural tone and pulling
off his wig to disclose the familiar head OF
one of the friends of the host, who had
sworn to him that he would come to the
party without being recognized "Oi
course, if you say so. my dear fellow, will
let it alone"
The confused laughter and EXPLANATIONS
of the entire company answered.-B0St0n
