A VISIT TO MARVIN,

Last Saturday night fourteen of the
members Of Sweet Briar Camp, M. W.
A., made social call upon the neigh
bors Of the Marvin Camp. A clear
ing was made in the upper story Of
the school house; the logs rolled away
and the brush burnt up. The camp
was turned over TO the visitors and
two candidates adopted. VIM. Swim
Of the Marvin Camp acted as Escort,
and filed the position to perfection.
Several additions to the work were
made by the home members. At IL
o'clock the guards were driven in by
a number Of wood sprites, who came
ladened with turkey, chicken, ham,
pie and cakes. The camp fires were
stirred up, tables spread and every
body invited to pitch in. Turkey,
ham, and chicken took wings as it
were and flew, not up, but down the
throats Of the husky woodmen. Cake
of all kinds, and fat, double decked
pies, with bread and buns thrown in
for good measure, followed the path
made by the meats, Some Of the
Phillipsburg fellows eat as though it
was the first meal they had enjoyed
for week, and were made by force
to leave the table. But the supply
was ample, and plenty was left. The
visitors expect to be the hosts soon,
and will be in luck il they can only
equal the efforts Of the Marvin Wood
men and their good wives, The Wis

1etzer, who was the bank president
testified that Attorney Bruce promised
to assist him in obtaining pardon, if
he, Yetzer, would testify against Dick
erson. Then Yetzer went on to say,
"Bruce told me that if he could send
Isaac Dickerson to the penitentiary,
he could get anything he wanted in
a political way from the people of Cass
county" The trial of these bank
wreckers is costing the people of Cass
county piles of money. They may get
the satisfaction of seeing all the
officials of the bank behind the bars,
but the unfortunate depositors will
get II very small portion of their
money. ..

CRISP VS.. SMITH.
The Series of Debates Was Begun Last Night
Before Big Audlence-Both Sides
Claim Victory

Augusta, Ga, March 31.-At II 80 p. M.
the three hours of debate between Sec
rotary Hoke Smith and Ex-Speaker Crisp
on the financial question has been COM
pleted and the champions of each are
claiming the better of the argument for
the man of their choice Both were APP
plauded to the echo when the sentiment
enunciated met with Endorsement, and
it was noticeable that the same men APP
plauded either speaker. There was no
such division of sentiment as forbade
champions of Mr.. Crisp to applaud dem
ocratic sentiments uttered by Mr.. Smith,
and no advocacy of the gold standard
precluded applause for popular senti-
ments declared by Mr.. Crisp. 1t was a
democratic audience and both speakers
were recognized as honored Georgians
and distinguished democrats discussing
party policy in the house of their friends.
1t is worthy of note that the greatest APP
plause of the evening followed COM
mandatory reference to President Cleve-
land by Secretary Smith. Though demo-
Gratis may not approve of all of Mr.
Cleveland's acts, there is no other name
that can so electrify democratic audi
ence from one end of the country to the
other as that of Grover Cleveland.

their best efforts. All of the scenery had
been removed and 500 chairs filled the

prominent Georgians and Carolinians
headed by Governor Atkinson, Ex-Sena-
tor Patrick Walsh, Ex-Congressman
George t. Barnes, Comptroller General
Wright, William b. Young, mayor of Au-
gusta, and others. The orchestra space
just i'm front of the stage was filled with
tables for newspaper men, who were
present from Atlanta, Savannah, Macon
and other Georgia cities. The parquet
balcony and gallery were crowded. and
chairs filed all available space in the
aisles. The stars and stripes were used
as decorations. and flags of all sizes were
festooned on the stage, galleries and pri-
vate boxes.
AS arranged there was seating room
for 2100 people. There had been no invi-
tations issued to the ladies, as 1t was de-
sired to have all the available space for
voters. There was no embargo upon
their coming, however and the boxes on
both sides were filled by them, while
many occupied seats in different parts
of the house.
