The Methodist Sunday School gave q

his meals with his parents at this place.

Mr.. Allen Banister, from Bradley, was
visiting here last week.
Big Bill Banister, from Pay Up, Ga, is
here at this writing.
Misses Lily and Minnie Huffman, from
Modoc, arrived here last Saturday and
will remain several days.
An indignation meeting will be held
here this week to pass resolutions with
reference to the very, uncomplimentary
remarks that Fleet Banister made about
the work that was being done on the
church ground the other day when he
was down here. Men who want to sell
lemonade should be more considerate.
A gentleman called on one of our ladies
last week and addressed her as follows:
Miss -, I've got a good way to goto
church tonight; will you go with me
7 wish you would go with me, I just want
to see what somebody else will say"
Come to the Association, Messrs. Edi-

you know how to ask or feel worthy to

silence he has been { lgaged preparing an
article under the heading of "Moseley

q very young man of this place asking
him to sign it and send it up for publica-

printed. Having failed in this he has re-
newed his attack from Lowndesville, but
over a new nom de plume. He Is o per-

Obituary.

On last Wednesday as the lovely even
ing was nearing on to twilight, and the
last brilliant hues of the setting sun were
filling all space, with a wave of the little
hand and a smile which overspread the
precious features, the spirit of Nora Es-
telle James, the youngest child Of Mr..
and Mrs. N. r. James of this city, was
borne on angel wings into the visible
presence of Him whose name the baby
lips loved to lisp. She was four years
and nine months old, and had been sick
Just one week with diptheria. The fond
parents had INDUCED in such bright WIS.,
ions and fond hopes for the future of their
little. Would that we could soothe their
deep grief, and comfort the sad hearts of
the two little sisters. How they will long
to feel again the fond kiss, to hear once
more the accents of the little voice-but

make it plain" D. Y. W.

During the past ten days information
has been received of the discovery in
Alaska of what are believed to bethe rich
est gold fields in the world, The finds
are 80 rich that men have grown wealthy
In a single day. Great nuggets, worth
several hundred dollars, have been pick
ed up from the ground as one might
gather pebbles along the creek bed. So
the story goes in the daily papers. With
the news Of the great find, men in every
condition Of life have not hesitated to
throw up good Jobs and rush to the new
Eldorado. Steamers to Alaska find it
impossible to transport the prospective
miners to their destination. The gold
fields lie away up in the Klondyke Sec
ton OF the Yukon river, in one Of the
coolest regions on earth. After reaching
the farthest point by transportation, it is
necessary to traverse scores OF miles
across a bleak and barren country,
mountainous and cold as Spitzbergen, in
order to reach the gold fields. Many hard
ships must be endured by those who go
out there, and in a few months some mis-
cradle tales Of woe from Alaska may be
expected.

duty was so per cent. The new law
makes a large numher" f icy classified
tians, with q cor 2>pouding number OF
rates. But tor ~ hat some duty might
be as low IS III the Wilson bill, 1t ls
especially provided that no kind oflaces,
edgings or trimmings can be admitted at
a less rate than GO per cent.
A distinction is made between cotton
and linen articles, but the increased duty
is the same-10 per cent. The increase
on silk laces and embroideries is also 10
per con-. Linen and silk handkerchiets
fare no better than embroideries. The
duty in each case has been increased 10
per cent.
After the full effect of the new tariff is
felt, it will be a long while before the
careful shopper can boast to her husband
of the bargain she found at the wooden
dress goods counter, for the price Of all
wooden dress goods is going to be greatly
increased. The duties on these woolens
average 10 cents q yard. The makers Of
the new tariff bill expect to receive 3d.
O00, 1000 additional revenue from these new
rates on wooden dress goods.
Senator Jones, Of Arkansas, estimates
that the people will have to pay $3.50, 000,-
900 q year more for their cotton and
wooden goods under the new law than
under the old. This enormous tax is
imposed that the Treasury may have an
ostensible benefit of So, 600, 900 a year.
For silk the shopper will have to pay a
much greater price. The duties on silks
range from so cents per pound to SIS. In
some cases, as with japanese silk, the
duty is 81. No one has been able yet to
estimate what the increase in the price Of
silk dress goods viii be. Then the crino.
line cloth for lining will cost more than 4
cents a yard more, for the duty has been
increased that much more.
Wooden or worsted shawls will come
high now. Under the Wilson law the
average duty on shawls was 40 per cent.
Under the new law the average will range
from 96.66 per cent to l12.G4 per cent.
Cloaks, >dolmans, jackets, listers and
other outside garments will be under
q duty of rs per cent. The duty under
the Wilson act is so per cent.
Braids, trimmings and insertions OF
wool will stand q duty of S. per cant.
Under the Wilson law the duty was so
per cent.
.Women's gloves have had IS cent q
dozen added to the duties that rule under
the Wilson law.
On boots and shoes an additional duty
of 5 par cent has been laid. AS nearly all
the boots and shoes worn in this country
are made by American manufacturers
this increase will be added to the first
price. The Is per cent duty on hides will
also have its efect.-S. Louis Republic.

Perhaps no recent occurrence has illus
trates the faultiness Of criminal proceed
nro nnder u system as the lynching of
DR.. w. S. Ryder in Talbot County, Ca,
last week, has. More than a year ago,
Ryder, in frenzy of jealous rage, shot
and killed Miss ssllie Owen, the woman
who refused to marry him, in the pres
ence ofhis successful rival. Miss Owen
was the belle of the County and exceed
ingly popular. Though greatly enraged,
her friends decided to let the law take its
course. The murderer was tried and
sentenced to hang An appeal was taken
and a new trial granted. Delay followed
delay until the people began to fear that
he would finally escape. Last week his
case was called again, but one Of the law
yers for the defense being sick, the hear
log was again postponed. The people
waited no longer. While Ryder was be-
ing conveyed back to prison across the
country, a number Of men overpowered
the guard and strung him up. The vic
tim Of the mob was a prominent dentist
of Talbotton, his family large and infu-
eutial, and but for the continued delays
Of the Courts, this outrage upon Georgia
law would not have been perpetrated.

The Populist party is now almost g
thing ofthe past. The recent convention
at Nashville developed all the smoldering
antsgonisms and jealousies which have
been partially suppressed for the sake of
common interest heretofore. The con-
tlicting elements in the party came into
open clash at Nashville and the weak ties
that served to keep them together during
q campaign burst asunder and the party
Is to-day in a state Of rapid disintegration.
Leading Populists do not deny this. Hon.

mits it in the following language: SIN the
breaking up of the peoples party which
Mr.. Butler has done 90 much to bring
about, many other old-time Republicans

Republicans again. Fusion is dissolving

ent outlook to discourage the business

tual trade for the moment is not lively,
but it is just as active as sny one expects
for the summer season. The most inter-
esting feature Is the general belief that
this State is goingto have steady progress
toward far better times. no matter what
may be the financial or industrial ills of
the country s. whole. The crop pros-
poets wers never more promising, and
the farmers have uss6 more economy in
making it than in many years past. They
are also less in debt, having paid cash for
most of.their supplies. at least, such is
tho case in this particular section of the
State. With q fair price for cotton this
fall, money will flow more freely, and
there will be plenty and prosperity in the
land.
