Of long standing. The parsons grain is all

A gentleman who was at a small hour
banquet relates: st is astonishing how
many business men are good singers. You
will find more men who can sing than you
will find women. At the affair of which l
speak there were representatives from
nearly every foreign country, our own
countrymen, of course, predominating
And most of those present were singers.
A young student from Heidelberg gave us,
in its native tongue, The Watch on the
Rhine for which, of course. he received
the customary recognition. An English
man sang Annie Laurie an Irishman

and Frenchman the 'Marseillaise.' Each
one of these songs was as well rendered as
ever heard it, and | know they were all
appreciated Then some one gave us
America 1t didn't quite hit in some
way. A young man with one of those
ringing tenor voices started the Star
Spangled Banner Before he reached the
chorus every man was on his feet, and each
one was waving napkin, and each one
was singing with all his might. They
went over it again and again, and never
heard such singing in my life, That was
the song that reached their hearts. Phil

Az Outfit for Neur.lxl..

II there is any one in Macon who had
little faith in hoodoos and charms a few
weeks ago that person was Chief Kenan.
But at last all unbelievers are brought
around, and it appears this was the case
with the doughty chief. Some days ago he
was suffering considerably with neuralgia.
After trying every remedy under the sun
he at last came upon a friend who had a
recipe which he was not caring particu-
larly to reveal to the chief, but seeing the
official in deep trouble he finally consented
to apply the remedy. Securing spool OF
black silk thread, he cut off several bits.
One he tied around the neck of the chief,
another down the back, and connecting the
one from the neck with that around the
waist, and fourth down his breast, con.
Meeting in the same way the two bands.
This completed the outfit.
When the operation was finished the
chief, with an incredulous smile, asked
what came next "Oh, you will talk diff
ferently in few minutes" replied the
friend, with a shake of the head. In a
minute the official felt strange sensation
in the face, and within five minutes the
pain had left him. To say that he was
amazed would be putting it mildly He

ferers, and now he is at work solving the
problem Of how he was cured. As yet he
has found no one who can give the Gauss

An amusing sight on the avenues pleasant
afternoons is the approach of group of
young swells. They come in groups of two
or three, and appear as if they had been
dressed and drilled for the afternoon pa
rade. The clothes are cut on exactly the
same pattern, they assume the same vague
expression of eountenancc, and even carry
their canes in the same way. They hold
their canes in the middle, with the head
down and about a foot and half in front
Of them. This last requires quite an effort,
and it is no wonder to me that these youths
look so pale and exhausted am quite

they don't give one the idea of originality.

New Water Purifier,

A new apparatus for water has appeared
In the form of a still, which is described as
consisting Of "a series of large fat disks of
metal, placed upright and kept in position
by pipes running horizontally on the top
and bottom. Water is boiled in a vessel
and the steam is conducted from the same
to the dish through pipe. The steam ra-
dating from the water is condensed in the
disks by current of air and the water is
collected in the bottom pipe" The size Of
the still designed for family use has eight
disks, and Is said to distill gallon Of

is suspected was deep and expressed IN

amazing aiacrity that krug had been cap

W. III. White. Uho - one OF the prosecut-
ing attorneys for the city, belief became
general. Hundreds of people went to the
train expecting TO meet the coiprit and
his captors, but were disappointed. Sheriff
Woolery returned alone and he could
throw no light upon the subject. The
persistence with which the rumor was cir
cuiated in every variety OF form was
astounding. Some had heard that Chief
Jackson had telegraphed, some that Rom
aid was in secret communication with
somebody negotiating for krug, others
had heard of a man who had seen man
