Obituary..

Willie Austin, the only son of Mr..
and Mrs. w. f. Scott, died of meniu-
gets Thursday Feb. 18th, 1892, aged
years months and IA days. Autie,
as his sisters tenderly called him,
was child beautiful in person, affec-
tiOnate in disposition and altogether
lovely and interesting, and his future
life promised all that was good and
noble, while so very young.
The Lord gave, and the Lord hath
taken away; blessed be the name of
the Lord" How peculiarly hard for
his parents to say and feel this, and
yet should endeavor to acQuiesce in
this their first sad affiiction; for
doubtless, our All wise Father has
done it for some good and kind pur-
pose, though to them a most mystic
riOus one indeed. b t oh! how often
in His mercy He removes the most
promising children from the evil to
come. May He heal their broken,
wounded hearts and cause them to
rejoice in the hope of some day meet
ing and greeting him in the sinless
summer land, where sorrows never
come and parting5 are unknown.

Before the Recorder.

Judge Erwin had an interesting
Court last Tuesday morning. Satur-
day night Strong's grocery store on
East Seventh street was broken into.
One Cal Wright was su@picioned OF
this, and tCapt. Friel, on going to
his home, found the stolen goods.
The proof being heard Cal was bound
over to b 'gher Court.
Another offender before Recorder
Erwin was one Sam Borgus, said to
hail from Marshall County. He was
arrested on suspicion, and being ex-
amined pistol was found Oh his per
son, and he will be held to answer
that charge. The report comes from
Marshall County that there is band
of "white caps" or might owls'' or
something of that sort that terrorizes
certain neighborhOods, and there is q
suspicion in police circles here that
this same Mr.. Borgus is a ring-leadel
of that unlawful clan.

The Century Club.

The Century Club had its annual
meeting last Wednesday night, which
proved 10 be one of the most interest
ing and important meetings ever yet
held. The Club had dwindled nearly
in bankruptcy, and dissolution was
threatening. The rules against
whisky drinking were being violated
and there was u disposition upon the
part of some to ignore the rules and
do as they pleased. This was dis
couraging and disheartening-not to
say disgustiDg-IO another part or the
membership, and the result was that
about half the members had made up
their minds to withdraw and let the
Club sink or swim without them.
There were some however who held
more tenaciously to their old love,
and for the last month there has been
an effort to "resuscitate." And the
effort has been fairly successful. The
rules were remodeled and made
stronger, the revenue was put upon
more business basis, and the names
of twenty new applicants for member
ships we've presented.
The initiation fee was reduced to
ten dollars; the annual dues OF resi-
dent members was fixed at twenty
dollars, and for non resident members
ten dollars. The age of eligibility
was fixed at 10 years. The Secre-
tary's salary was fixed at $50 n year
and his dues. Members leaving the
county to permanently reside else
where, are allowed to resign at the
end of any quarter, il paid up and in
good standing at that time. The dues
are payable quarterly in advance; IL
not paid in the first ten days, fac
of 81 is imposed; if not paid in the
next teh days, there is an additional
| fine of $3.50. Ii not paid by the end
of the quarter, he stands expelled,
and it is made the duty of the Secre-
tAry to post he fact gu the bulletin
board of the Club. There is 10 APP
peal from this rule; the fact itself
expells a member and there is the
end of it.
The following officers were elected /:
P. H. SOuthsll, Jr., PRIEST; DR.. Robt

2nd Vice Prest, RObt NJ. William,

AN APPEAL
The Kings Daughters Ask Assistance
From the%Publfc.

me h1ngS daughters ASK Assistance
From the+Public.
The Kings Daughters order, so
we'll known in our midst, has had a
special meeting to devise ways and
means, to replenish their Treasury.
They lost the cash they had on hand
amounting to about fifty doilars) in
the Bank failures, and just now,
their need of funds, to relieve the
unfortunate, is keenly felt. After
various plans the Order determined
% ask the community to come to
their assistance. One dollar makes an
auxiliary member; such a member
pays no dues, and no assessment;
only the dollar is asked and the Aux
iiiary member is not called on dur
ing the year for any money the order
may see proper TO assess active MEM
bers.
When you are approached meet
the ladies half way. Respond to
their call. The order works on a
purely charitable basis, regardless of
UNCONVENTIONAL lines; but by per-
sonal investigation, dispense their
means as their judgment dictates.
Think on this. They are your poor,
and this band of noble working women
are using the small means they can
control to alleviate, in a measure,
their sufferings. Donations will be
received by any member of the
Order.

Crap Shooters Pulled.

Deputy Sheriff B. w. Harris OF Mt.

Webb of this city, arrested Tom AL

Will Porter and John Cranberry, all
negroes living in Mt. Pleasant, for
shooting craps. They were safely
landed in jail yesterday evening.
They will languish in a cold cell un-
til the next term of court, and will
doubtless lend their voice to the har-
monies that usually emanate from
those dismal walls ,-r
