on at the Midway Plalsance. II is executed
by three girls, alleged to be Turks said to be
PcTslans, and thought to be Americans. me
dance was put on for the first time Friday
afternoon. 1t has caused much comment.
This is the dance that caused such 1ndtgna-
tlon among the lady managers at Chicago 1t
VIII Ue recalled that Mrs Palmers party OF
ladies' made q formal demand upon the
world S fair officials that the dance be put
stop to. The entei talnment was the cause OF
a great row and no end Of sensations There
have been various comments upon the dance
Ia Augusta. Men only witness it. No ladies'
are among the audiences. Men who have seen
it say that there is nothing IN it but the vul-
gar swaying of the body and contraction OF
the muscles. Others say there is nothing
offensive in the performance, and that It IS
only condemned by those who wish to adver-
tise it, The exposition officials may be asked
20 pass upon the show in their official eapa-
city.
Rome Tribune: An interesting rumor has
reached Rome about Mrs W =. Beresford, or
Mrs. LasCelles the wife OF the lord " The
circumstances Of q sresford reCapture alter
he had skipped his BOND, will be remembered.
1t occurred in Albany. n. Y. and was accom-
plished, it is said, 10y means Of David Bennett
King, lawyer, and friend OF the family OF
Mrs. BeresfOrd. AS the story went Berestord
was IN Communi alton with these people,
ana, II was charged was attempting 10 black
mall them. A meeting was arranged by Mr..
kim u settle the matter. aLd il was settled
by Bcrestord being nab el by the detectives.
At this time ana others, it mas been
said that Mr. King was an old admirer of
Mrs. BereSfOrd, ana in fact that it was the
wish of the family that they should be mar
ried. 1t is stated here by many OF those IN
closest relation with the affair, that Mrs.
Beresford is about to become Mrs. king.
Some have stated that the wedding had al
ready occurred, but this seems to be prema-
ture. Whether divorce has been secured is
not known, but the rumOr is generally be-
lieved that the we lding will occur. Mrs.
BeresfOrd is very pleasantly remembered by
many In Rome. Although her devotion to her
nus and was quite marked here, her lady
friends in the city are under the impression
that the rumor is true. Those who should
know most about it, say the rumor IS well
founded.
Macon Telegraph. The placing of the
woa ther signal pole at the city hall has
caused the two old lamp posts that have
stood o. either side Of the steps to ne
taken down, and thus removed relic of
the ate war. The old lamp posts hal stood
firmly plant ed IN the bricks on either side Of
the city hall since that building was erected.
and for many years supported the ftlckerng
and uncertain kerosene lamps usei by the
city before there was a gas company here,
and later ON the gas lamps. These were also
abolished when the city Logan using electric
lights and since then the posts have re-
manned simply because they we're not in the
way and the city did not deem it necessary to
take them down. In April, 1885, when viii
son s raiders entered Macon, a lone confeder-
ate seminal was pacing up and down in front
OF tho city hall that was at that time used as
a confederate hospital. While riding down
the avenue at the head Of the advance guard
some one fired at the officer in command and
killed him. The o1icer next in rank
took charge OF the command and when
he reached the city haQ and saw the
solitary confederate sentinel marching up
and down with measured tread in front OF the
city hall he dismounted from his horse and
before the confederate, who was one OF the
home guard and consequently disabled for
active service, could understand his move
ments, he had snatched his gun from him and
in the presence Of the raiders who accompa-
MED him, broke it TO pieces on the lamp post
on the left hand side OF the hall as you enter.
There being only handful OF men here, who
were termed the home guard" there was no
one to check them, and they took possession of
the town and in every manner possible tOOkre-
venge for their commander $ death. The gun
broken on the lamp post is said to be the last
one broken in the late war, as the war was
about over when this incident took place.
The post was put in the city hall lot and in
all probability will be burned for frewood by
one of the many poor people to whom the city
furnishes wood.
