The assignee's sale of real estate
belonging to the John @. A. Marsh es
tate took up Tuesday forenoon and part
of the afternoon. j. G.. Fowler was
auctioneer. All of the property was
sold, and in the aggregate brought
nearly $4,000. The prices were very
fair. ThOs. A. Sherk was the heaviest
purchaser, and Mrs. A. T. Smith
bought number of lots. Mrs. E. A.
Faley bought several. This sale will
probably be confirmed by the court.
The land sold was scheduled by Mr..
Marsh as worth lin the aggregate
about $4,000, which was manifestly
too high. The claimants will do well
if they secure five cents on the dollar
at the final settlement.

The assassin Paendergast floated to
the surface again yesterday in Chi
cago, when his case came up in the
courts to be tried as to his sanity. 1t
had been agreed that his case should
go over until September, but it hap
pened to come up before another
judge, and he refused to allow the
continuance on the ground that there
was no good reason advanced there

new complication to the matter,

DEATH OF j. IDDlE DAVIS.

1t is our sad duty to chronicle
the death of ]. Iddie Davis, which
occurred lat Lake Crystal Tuesday.
He had been unwell for a year or
more, and last winter took trip to
Texas and Southern California in hope
Of relief, but in this he was disap-
pointed. His affection, consumption,
had too strong grasp upon his sys-
tenn, and the best of care and atten-
tion failed to stay the progress of the
disease. The announcement of his
death, while causing no surprise to
those knowing the true state of the
young mans health, came somewhat
unexpectedly, and caused general
sorrow among his numerous friends in
this city.
Mr.. Davis was born in Wisconsin.
He was for some years a resident of
this city, being chief clerk in J. r..
Jones drug store. He was competent,
faithful and thoroughly conscientious,
and man of sterling worth in every
respect. He possessed the confidence
and esteem of all who knew him.
After leaving this city he was engag-
ed in the drug business at Lake Crys-
tai with M. W. Kelly, and was gen
eral favOrite there as here.
The deceased was a member of
Mankato lodge, No. Is, [. o. 0. f.,
and this lodge had charge of the
funeral services, which occurred at
1:30 o'clock Thursday, at Lake Crys-
tai

pressiveness, and to some length Mr.
Littlefield dwelt upon this point. Every
old soldiers eyes were fixed on the speaker
when that historic period, so we'll known,
was being talked about.
Referring to Mr.. Lincoln as a speaker,
Mr.. Littleficld said, in part: ''His oratory
partOok of the character Of his mind, al
ways direct, argumentative and irresist-
able in just cause, sometimes extremely
plain, often quaint, and again rising to
true pathos and the sublime in sentiment.
The force of his reasoning was only
equalled by his power of illustration.

salary. Usually his fees were SMALL the
largest that he and his beloved partner,
Mr.. Hernden, ever received was $4,000 from

instances and many parts were exceed
ingly humorous; much being related that

Through the kindness of Maj. C. j..
House. the Journal not long ago published
an article on, "The capture of a battle
flag from the Confederate army, during
Lees retreat from Petersburg by John
Chapman" and the article was copied in
many papers. On its rounds it fell into
the hands of Col. Zimro A. Smith editor
OF the indianapolis Journal and he sent
the clipping to Maj. House with a letter,
portion of which has reference to Mr.
Chapman and reads as follows:

The Methodist entertainment and sale,
last, evening, were successful in every
sense, and all present were delighted with

the evening.
Regarding the sale, many fancy articles
were disposed of and each table was well
patronized. Miss Winnie Smith had charge
of the candy table, Mrs. r. W. Soule one
fancy table, and Mrs. Williams the other
while Mrs. Smith had the ice cream and
cake table. Miss Marion Hoxie was very
successful in her solicitations for the doll.

The Mock Court Trial.

Not only have the leading newspapers
of New England and the Middle states
given most pleasant reports of the Mock
Court Trials conducted by Capt Newton,
but the newspapers of the provinces have
been strong in their praise. The Saint
John, n. b. Daily Record of November
9th, says as follows: cone of the largest
audiences ever seen in the opera house
was present last evening, when the mock
trial held under the auspices of the Y. M.
c. A., was the attraction.
The trial made much amusement for the
vast audience, Judging from the contin ual
laughter kept up throughout the entire
evening.
Chief Clark was the defendant in the
case and stood accused of having stolen a
rooster last Christmas day. DIR. Stockton
filled the capacity of judge and ex Mayor
Peters was the complainant. Mr.. f. L.
C. Knowles acted as prosecuting attorney
and Capt. A. V. Newton, attorney for the
defence. ne lattcr was P'i'"'' S

The Daily Globe of the same city, in
commenting upon the trial, said among
other things. "the trial, besides furnishing

the lines of regular court and gave many

THE BUSINESS MANS LUNCH.
Hard Work and Indigestion 90
Hand in Hand.

Concentrated thought, continued in, robs
the stomach of necessary blood, and this is
also true of hard physical labor
When hive horsepower engine is made
to do ten horse power work something is
going to break. Very often the hard.
worked man coming from the field or the
office will bolt +" his food in few min.
utes which will take hours to digest. Then
too, many foods are about as useful in the
stomach as keg of nails would be in a
FIRE under boiler. The ill-used stomach
refuses to do its work without the proper
stimulus which it gets from the blood and
nerves. The nerves are weak and ready
to break" because they do not get the
nourishment they require from the blood,
finally the ill-used brain is morbidly wide
awake when the overworked man at.
tempts to find rest in bed
The application of common sense in the
treatment of the stomach and the whole
system brings to the busy man the full en-
Joyment of life and healthy digestion when
he takes Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets to
relieve bilious stomach or after a too
hearty meal, and DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery to purify, enrich and
vitalize the blood. The Pellets are tiny
sugar coated pills made of highly concen.
trated vegetable ingredients which relieve
the stomach of all offending matters easily
and thoroughly. They need only be taken
for short time to cure the biiiousness.
constipation and slothfulness, or torpor, of
the liver; then the Medical Discover"
should be taken in teaspoonful doses to in
crease the blood and enrich it. 1t has a
peculiar effect upon the lining membranes
of the stomach and bowels, toning up and
strengthening them for all time. The
whole system feels the effect of the pure
blood coursing through the body and the
nerves are vitalized and strengthened not
deadened, or put to sleep, as the so-called
celery compounds and nerve mixtures do
but refreshed and fed on the food they
need for health. If you suffer from indi-
gestion, dyspepsia, nervousness, and any
of the ills which come from impure blood
and disordered stomach, you can em,e
1onrseD with Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery which can be obtained at any
drug store in the country.

..0liver Twist.

The performance of "Oliver Twist
which was given at the Opera house, last
evening, before an enthusiastic audience
was one of the best productions that has
been seen in Augusta in long time. Miss
Elita Proctor Otis enacted the part of
Nancy Skies with the power and finish of
a true artist Nancy depravity, her love
for Skies and the remaining good in her
as evidenced by her faithfulness to Oliver
were portrayed with master hand.
Mr.. Charles Barron as Bill Skies left
nothing to be desired. Mr.. Barron long
ago made himself famous in this charac-
ter and his acting was as of old. Fagin
the Jew, the evil genius of the great story
was played by Mr. Frank L. keenan,, who
was seen in Augusta last
year in Rosedale. Mr.. Keenan, S
FaCin is wonderful achievement
and is one of the best roles in his already
large repertoir.

Artful Dodger was enacted by Mr.. Charles

and who has done the part many times in
London. Oliver Twist was Miss Katherine

ideal of the orphan boy. The scenery,
which was specially painted for this pro
duction. was very effective ana
