Augusta News: Monday at noon Big
Steve rang out for the last time. The
mayor gave permission that this should be
done, as many people wished TO hear
its thrilling, sOnOrous peals once more
before IL was removed from its old place
forever. 1t has also been sugegsted,in con-
I neCtion with the famous old bell that
instead Of placing It out of sight in some
warehouse, it be placed on a low fOunda-
ton somewhere in the green on Greene
street. Another proposition by an old vol
Unteer fireman is that Capt. Edward
Platt call out all the old volunteer firemen
some night during the week for a march
through the city, to wind up at the old
bell with speeches and cheers. 1t is
| thought that Chief Roulett would allow
| the paid department TO join in the parade,
and add to the interest There is a good
+ chance that this scheme will be carried

Macon Telegraph A large number of
/ Macon drummers who remained in the
| city Monday were considerably stirred up
over the rumor that three of the largest
wholesale houses in the city have en-
tered into combination to reduce the sal
| aries of their drummers. How the rumor
| gained currency is not fully known, but
| the drummers were convinced that there
! was considerable ground for 1t and that
the men reduced would not be notified
| of the reductions until too late for
| them to make engagements for the next
| year. According to the rumor, the houses
have agreed not to employ any man who
leaves the employ of another on account
of reduction of salary. The drummers Of
the houses in the combine have already
| commenced to write to other houses, es-
| pecially northern houses, for employment,
and say that If the houses mentioned do
reduce salaries it will greatly injure Ma
con, as they will all get positions with
northern houses and, as they can still con-
to 4ua1 No "a n re
in the combine will be the losers.
A drunken row at Marietta Saturday
night ended in killing. In a house of.
questionable character on the Powder
. Springs road a number of men are in the
habit of assembling Saturday night.
Mitchell Broyles and Charlie Langs went
to this place, and later Tom Jackson,
Elias Cox and others followed. The two
women in the house, Nancy Morgan and
Mary Evans, became alarmed at the
boisterous conduct of Broyles and Langes
and ordered them to leave the place. FL
nally Elias Cox induced the whole gang
10 leave They went toward Marietta
quarrelling all the while. When they
reached the city they went to the store of
Reid & Virgins, where Broyles cried ''po-
lice! One of the men, supposed to have
| been Elias Cox, was in the buggy, while
Broyles was between the wheels of the
= buggy. Some one standing at the horse 5
head was heard to say, shoot himr'
Then the report of a pistol was heard
and Broyles fell dead. Cox drove off and
made his escape. Tom Jackson gave him

people here. A well-to-do negro ltV-

of his own accord, the democratic ticket.
Some days ago his wife lost an infant

for which was donated to them by a

third party negroes and before the little

waited on the sorrowing father of the
dead infant and notified him that nc
