were allowed to join the Alliance that it
would not in any way conflict with our
politics or religion, clearly intimatiag that
the mission of the alliance was not the
formation OF new parties or new religions
or churches, and an attempt to do so
would be violation of our organic law;
and
Whereas, The principles of the alliance
are set forth in our declaration of purposes
and In the Ocala platform. ard are in per-
feet accord with the principles of sound
Jeffersonian democracy, their common
purpose being the greatest good to the
greatest numoer, and equal rights to all
and special privileges to none;" and
Whereas The Third Party, if persisted
in, will certainly divide the Alliance. break
up the Solid South, elect a Republican
President and thus expose the Southern

he said that Mrs. Mary Chandler and fam.
ily who live north Of Kennesaw Mountain.
near Green Station. saw a snake in not
pursuit ola fee dog one day last wees.
The snake was Of yellow and brown color
about five feet long. of the coacb>whip
species. The snake when first SEEN was
about two feet behind the dog, bot, run,
nlng apparently as fast as horse, The
dog seemed to be painting as if he had run
some distance. When the snake and dog
passed.the house. little Bobbie Chandler
followed tor about 400 yards. In crossing
the branch the dog got ahead of the snake.
After crossing the branch, the snake and
dog went up the bill, the snake then was
about ten feet behind the dog, and when
last seen, both snake and dog were going
up the big road at a rapid speed 1t was
strange sight and an exciting race
the like Of which has never been witnessed
or heard Of before.
Theophilus Holmes told the shove and
said there was great excitement in the
neighborhood about it.
We met Robert Thomas. colored. who
lives in the same neighborhood, and s,
was tickled nearlyto death about the affair
Why. said he, there was no snake af,e
that dog That was Mr. Gibson dog, an,
fastened wire, about three yards long
to the dogs collar, and then tied Ion,
calico strip to the wire, and that was til,
the snake. 1t did look like snake jump,
ing along after the dog, but thet is all .
mistake. twas past done by me to hav,
little fun. Since1 told some Of the folk,
how It was, they went believe me, and say
that they know il was snake, but have
the wire and calico, strip at home now "a

Rev. W. HI. STRICKLAND, promi-
nent Baptist clergyman, is under
charge Of murder, preferred by u
coroner's jury. The Charleston
Academy is one of the most promis
nent institutions in DeKalb county.
1t has Mr., Strickland for its princi-
pal. Among the students was the
thirteen-year-old son Of Colonel
Nash. Some time ago MIR. Strick-
land severely chastised his pupil to
such an extent that he was presents
ed to the grand jury. That body
failed to act, and adjourned. Thurs
day night the boy died, in great pain,
and hence the coroner's inquest.
The body of the victim showed
whelps,where blows had been applied.
The decision reached was that blood
poison had set in and that Rev. Mr..
Strickland should be held for trial
as the guilty cause of the child's
death.

A NUMBER of gentlemen left
Americas early Friday morning tc
kill doves in field on Mr.. Mize's
plantation two miles out on the
Preston road. In the party were J,
Q. Roney, I. N. Hanks, Eshton
Bdchanon, Jas. Pope, G. A.. Nix,
Reuben Nix, Lawson and Frank
Stapleton, and othors. About $50
o'clock, after a fine mornings sport,
the birds having about ceased to
come in the field, several of the
gentleman, including the Messrs.
Stapleton, Eshton, Buchanan and
others were sitting down resting.
A dove came and lit on the ground
In front of the party. The gentle>
men all vieing with each other in
efforts to kill the bird prepared to
shoot. 1t appears that Mr.. Buchan-
on was the first to get aim, and just
as he fred, Mr.. Frank Stapleton
sprung up in front of the muzzle OF
his gun and received the load in the
side of his head tearing away por-
ton of the skull leaving the brain
exposed. He died in about one and
a half hours.

hance-not a woodland what we have
said has been against a new political
organization known as the Peoples Par.
ty, entirely separate and distinct from
the Alliance-both having different plat
forms. But in signing an unofficial com
munication, you had no right to use your
official alliance title to give vent to your
personal and individual feelings. and
thus in connection with that title advo-
cate a political party, which the organic
law of the Alliance forbids. You abused
your Office. You should have left off
your official title, Secretary and stood
on your own merits as citizen and Peo-
pies Party politician.
You say in leaving the Democratic
party, you and others haven't left it?
That may be good reasoning, but it don't
strike us so. Upon the same hypothesis,
when you mailed the above letter to us,
you didn't mail it-you kept it? Just
as you please, doctor. But, doctor, why
did you carry the Democratic party with
you and change it's name?
"You may break, you may shatter, the
vase if you will,
But the perfume of the rose, will cling
to it STILL -
II the Democratic party is so corrupt,
as you have often said, why did you
want to take with you such corrupt
thing? We would have thought you
would have drawn your spotless and
immaculate garments to one side, and
passed by such corruption for fear OF
deflement.
But if the Democratic party is now Sc
precious to your heart, that you boast
ingly earryit with you, why change the
name?
Many shall say on that day, 'Lord
have we not prophesied in Thy name, and
He shall say depart never knew you.' 2
1t we skick up a racket about the
farmers of Cobb county leaving the Demo
cratic party" as you charge above, it il
because we know that their company is
worthy of association it is because theil
united vote is necessary to help us keep
the Republicans out of power another
four years; it is because we don't want
to see friends and neighbors arrayed
against each other; it is because we have
good friends and relatives among them.
Some OF them were comrades in the late
war with one of the editors of this paper,
and they have been tested as true and
tried and brave men. Some of them, we
dare say, will never vote to tax them
selves and neighbors to give the Federal
soldiers back-pension grab.
We may kick up a racket doctor,
about our farmer friends going off into
the Third Parry, but, rest assured, we
are not going to "kick up. a racket
about You going. s.Erring brother, de-
parti in peace

The late Col. George n. Lest.

The late Col. George n. Lester,
state attorney General, died a poor
man. A plan has been inaugurated
for the bar and the Confederate vete-
rams to do something toward raising
money to give home to the wife
and daughters of the late Col. Geo.
N. Lester. 1t is known that Judge
Lester left no property-not even a
shelter for his aged wife and his
daughters, and that one Of his daugh-
tiers is widow with five children,
all of whom were dependent for a
livelihood upon the salary which
Judge Lester received from the
state. 1t is proposed that fund be
raised by the members of the bar
and by Confederate veterans, to
furnish shelter for these survivors
of the able lawyer and gallant Cons
federate soldier. MIR. A. S, Clay,
Col. L, N. Trammell and W. S.
Thompson, of Atlanta, have been
requested to act as committee to
look after the fund. The fund is to
be invested by them as trustees ia
home for Mrs. Lester and her
two daughters, the trustees to re-
tain title as trustees of the property,
SO as to preserve it for the uses in
tended.-Atlanta journal.
