JOtS from GillSburg.

A complimentary picnic was
given on September Ord by the
Gillsburg Band. This was the
closing day of Prof. ]. ]. Mogee's
term of instruction, and the band
desired to show their appreciation
of his ability and zeal as an in
structor. A pleasant day was spent
under the shade of the magnificent
trees which adorn the icnicgIound.
Good eating and good music were
in abundance. Prof. Magee was
presented by Mr.. Logan Phillips
on behalfofthe band with an elegant
rgold medal as token Of the esteem
in which he is held by the members.
At night a number of friends were
invited to the band room where ice
cream had been prepared. A fine
selection of music was rendered,
and appropriate speeches were
made by DR.. ]. W, Maui, Messrs.
]. L. Perryman, W. B. Tull and
others. This pleasant day will be
long remembered by all who par
ticipated in the festivities.
A little son of Mr.. 10. Williams
had narrow escape from death on
the End inst. Mr.. Williams had
driven up with a load of lumber
and was unloading, the little boy
being under the wagon. The team
started to move, and in trying to
get out the little boy was caught
and one wheel passed directly over
his body. 1t was feared that his
injury was fatal. DR.. Maui was
summoned and dafteran examination
decided he was not seriously hurt.
The little fellow is progressing very
favorably. His escape from death
was almost miraculous, as Mr..
Williams states that he saw the
wheel pass over his body.
The Institute will open on the
9TH inst. The prospects for the
session are very good. HIDA,

Editor Herald-I notice in a
recent issue of The Herald a card
from a number of the citizens from
easternAmite, requesting theDemo-
cratic Executive COMMITTEES. 10 call
a massmeeting of the citizens of
Amitecounty, to determine whether
our recent primary election should
be respected as valid or not. l notice
also two communications from my
friend DR.. H. l. Weathersby, call
ing in question the validity of said
primary election. l would say that
while many were allowed to vote
who probably should not have had
that right, yet / am satisfied that
the results would not differ materi-
ally if only white Democratic regis
tered voters had participated, and
l, as a defeated candidate, shall
cheerfully support the nominees.
With many thanks to those who
supported me during the late cam.
paign, and no malice toward those
who saw proper to oppose me, /
remain, most respectfully,

uehs, potatoes peas and cane are
needing rain, in fact a gentle shower
to dispel the dust would be bsne-
helal. Unless We get rain soon
crops Of all description will be cut
short. The corn crop is already
short, owing to the wind we had
some time back. The boil worm
has put in his appearance, and.
with the dry weather, has cut the
cotton crop about oue-half short.
The health of the neighborhood
Is good for this season Of the year,

We had the pleasure to attend
the Sabbath school convention held
at New Zion church on the fifth
Sunday and Saturday before in

the music, both vocal and instru-
mental, especially the instrumental
music on the organ, performed by
Miss Icy Nunnery. We were also
pleased to listen to the reading of
two splendid essays, one by Miss
jamie Ford, subject, obedience to
God; the other by Miss Dollie
Brashears, subject, labor and wait.
If we are allowed to Judge we must
say they did justice to their sub

In this issue of the Herald we
are called upon to mention the
death of Miss Ray Wilkinson, of
5Gloster, who died on last Friday
night, after a protracted illness.
Miss Wilkinson was the youngest
child Of the lateWinston Wilkinson
and Mrs. Lavisa Wilkinson. She
was abou II years of age when she
died, land had just reached that
time of life when most attractive.
Gould the love and ministrations
of the mother and sorrowing
friends have stayed the last enemy,
this lovely young lady would not
have died. But all these evidences
Of affection could not answer the
summons, nor satisfy the stern
decree under which it went forth
for execution. Miss Wilkinson had
recently returned to make glad the
heart of her mother, after two years
attendance at the Industrial College
at Columbus, and was at the time
she was taken sick expecting to re-
turn to college, where she intended
TO graduate, but what a sad disap-
pointment TO her many relatives
and friends at home and in college,
where her voice has so long been
heard and now a lasting silence
Teigns. Peaceful be thy sleep.

THE ALLIANCE IN NEW ENG

The Farmers There Said Not to Be in
Sympathy with the Movement.

sympathy with the movement.
Boston, March 27.-The Herald has
dispatches from several points in New
England voicing the sentiment Of farm
ers on the proposed Alliance movement
"a Il Eastern States. The dispatch
from Pittsield says it is the sentiment
of leading Berkshire county farmers that
the New England tour of the Alliance
leaders, Kyle and Simpson, will be a
practical failure.
Henry A. Barton, Jr., of Dalton, ex
Master Of the State Grange, said to a
Herald reporter: II do not believe the
State Grange is at all in sympathy with
the movement. | am Of the opinion that
the Changers generally l am ac-
quainted with the leading members all
over the State-are not in favor of the
Alliance, Personally, I do not believe
it will be successful in New England"
| Charles A. Mills, of Williamstown
member of the present State Board o
Agriculture, says: 81 am not in favo
of the Farmers Alliance liz New Eng
land. Any movement to make th
farmers move en- masse is, in my opin
ion, unpat1iotic. All classes and pro
fessions should work together. [ do no
believe in antagonizing classes IN thi
| country"
