A CAVALRY COMPANY
A Movement on Foot to
Organize One.
ABUNDANCE OF GOOD MATERIAL
In Town and County. Let Us Have
the Gaily Equipped HOrsemen
With Their SabreS.

The young men of Marietta have
already organized a military infant
ry company, and are drilling every
week, and have given orders for
their uniforms, which will be here
in three weeks time. The spirit
displayed by our young men, in
forming this organization, has in
spired some of our young men, who
own fine horses, with the desire to
organize a cavalry company. There
is plenty of good material in town
and near town to make the move
ment success. Let it be town
and county company and thus de-
velop not only the discipline of mill
tary training, but the skill of good
horsemanship as we'll. With wav-
ing white plumes, neat uniforms
and flashing sabres, they would pre-
sent a captivating sight. They
could go into the State encamp>
ment this year as we'll as be ready
to be an escort for the new Cover
nor next year at Atlanta's big expo.
sition. Let the paper be circulated
for names and the cavalry company
become a certainty.

Knife
ON WILL VALENTINES THROAT
Rocks Play an Important Part In
the Fight. Braxt0n's Nose
is Battered.

rushed on him and ne got up and
male lunge at him with his knife,
cutting through his lat brim and a
silk handkerchief and penetrating
the side of Valentines neck, max

inches long, getting deeper as the
knife went, coming out underneath
his chin. Braxtop says also that
Grant Harris, George Frazier and
Alex Gray, all coiored, threw rocks
also. They say they did not. shat
nobody but Valentine threw rocks
and that he did so after he was cut.
The wound Valentine received is o
dangerous one and he hled profuse

On Jaatherwood creek. Cumber

On Leatherwood creek, Cumber-
land county, Kentucky, Wednesday
night, three men entered the home
of James Clayton, who does not be-
lieve in banks, and after gagging
the family proceeded to compel
him to tell where his money was
hidden. They fired pistols close to
his head, choked him, burned him
with not stones and finally stuck his
feet in the fire, holding them there
until they we're burned to crisp.
This finally conquered Clayton, who
told where the money was. The
robbers got 81, 800 and then escaped
on three of Clayton's horses. Clay
ton will probably die.

 NEW YORK, April 17.-There was 6 falling of in the transactions at the stock exchange to-day. The opening figures as a ru'e were lower, pro. fessional operators having sold the list on the belief that considerable gold will have to be ex- ported shortly, notwithstanding the condition of foreign trade, which shows @ heavy balance in our favor. The railway troubles at the west were also used by the traders, but they did not
 have much effect It was currently reported
 that the employees of the Missouri Pacific would
 go out in order to assist those employed by the
 Great Northern road. The impression made on prices was insignificant, however, and when the
 bulls in Chica ago Gas took hold of their favorite and forced 1t up to 6oH the shorts in the general list began to curtail their lines. This operation led to a somewhat frmer tone for time, and es pecIalIy in General Electric and American Sugar, l which rose to 624 and 9sss respectively.

OBITUARY.
Death of stephen c. wilcox.on.

Death of Stephen G. Wilcoxson.
 MT. stephen G. Wilooxson, more famil- iarly known as Major Wilcoxson, life- long and highly respected citizen of Derby, died at the residence of his son-in-law, Lorenzo B. Noses on Spring st1eet, this city, Monday afternoon at 1:30. His death though sudden was not wholly unexpected. Since the death of his wife, who died about four years ago, his health had been gradually failing. Infirmities of old age and Bright's disease were the immediate cause of his death. He was nearly eighty seven years Qf age. MT. Wilcoxson had always led an exemplary Christian life. For more than fifty years he served ss . member of the vestry of St. James, parish of Birmingham, and his devotion and steadfast loyalty to his church was truly exceptional. Seldom, if ever, was he ab ssnt from the services of his church. 1Hii church was his home, and to it's present prosperity much ia due to his striking ex ample and of faithful and consistent attend snce and his sound judgment and Chris tian advice. For more than fifty years h. | gave his service as c member of the choir | Bis labor had been Q labor of love to tht l church and to his Master. Until within [ | few years past Mr. Wilcoxson conducted [ retail boot and shoe business in Derby, but
 was obliged to relinquish this owing tx the infirnittes of old age. The churct will miss him and the entir, community in which he lived 90 long ant
 faithfully will miss him in his wise counse
 and advice. None knew him but to low
 and respect him. And of him 1t may vel
 bs said, The has fought good fight, h.
 has finished his course. he has kept tn
 faith; henceforth there is laid up for hin
 crown of righteousness which the Lord
 the righteous judge, shall give him at tha
 day; and not to him only, but unto al
 them also that love His appearing" On
 son only survives him, MT. Frederic
