"Unclc' Reuben Pvles. of Cairo, has
gone crazy" There is not much in this
announcement, but it will be read with
regret by many of his friends in South
west Georgia, who were won't to be
amused by his droil sayings and stories.
Everybody who attended the memorable
democratic convention that nominated
Hon. Ben T.. Russell for congress last
summer will remember ''Unclen Reuben
Pyles, of near Cairo, Thomas county, as
one of the most conspicuous characters
present. He made lots of fun for the
boys. He made his first appearance in
the hall, having Just arrived on belated
train, while Captain w. VI. Hammond was
speaking to the assembled politicians on
the night before the convention met The
hall was packed and Colonel Hammond
held the attention of every one. just as
the speaker was in the midst of one of his
eloquent flights and while the great
crowd was as still and orderly as church
congregation, Uncle Reuben entered
and exclaimed: "Many faces do I see!"
And, without hating or even removing his
broad hrimmed sOmbrero, he marched
up toward the stage. He worked his way
up to the front and took u seat on the
edge of the platform. The next time
Uncle" Reuben opened his mouth was
when Capt. Hammond had reached a
paragraph in his great speech and had an
nounced the subjects of the remarks next
TO follow-something about the third
party-and everybody in the hall heard
these unctuous words, as Uncle Reu-
ben rose and waved his uhand as if about
to pronounce a benediction: Stand still
and hear the salvation of the Lord"
And ever and anon, during the two days
session of the convention that followed
IL
critical point in the proceedings: "Stand
still and hear the salvation of the Lord"
But the old man has lost his mind en-
tirely now, and is waiting the next train
for the asylum.
The Senoia Enterprise Gazette says that
as the regular passenger train was going
west from Griffin, and was about forty
minutes late ana the engineer was trying
to Wake up lost time and consequently
running about fifty miles an hour, he was
Mortified to see just about two hundred
yards ahead of him, Just as he turned a
curve before he got to Whitewater creek,
man on the track waving his coat across
the track and over his head and seemed
to be very much excited. The engineer,
thinking of course that the bridge had
been burned or fallen in, applied his air
brakes, reversed his engine and shouted
to his fireman to jump. They both landed
safely and the train came to Il halt so sud
denly that it nearly unseated all the pas
sengers. For Gods sake, what's the
matterl" asked the almost GREATNESS CON
ductOr of the fellow who had stopped the
train. Sam-fOr that was his name-an-

pocket for his pistol, fully intent to kill
him on the spot but he did not have his
pistol, and could not find anything to hit
him with. He saw he was in it, and after
a moments reflection he told Sam he
would take his opossums, The conductor
intended to take all Sans opossums and
leave Sam standing there without paying
for them. So the conductor asked Sam
where they were. The engineer had re-
covered himself, the fireman ana about
two-thirds of the passengers had gotten
up to the engine by now and eagerly
looked for Sam to bring in about dozen
fat opossums, but Sam simply said to the
conductor: Wall, hain't got nm here,

and almost lifeless form of the conductor
to the train.
