JOY the Day.
HELD IN THE TOWN HALL
Numbers of Invited Guests,
Fine Banquet and Good
Program.

AS previously announced and
by special invitation the members
of the local post of the G. A. r.,
had one of the most pleasant gath
erings in their history Friday.
The day was fine and the town
gradually filled with people who
came IN all kinds of conveyances.
The Post held a meeting at 10:45
which was attended by thirty CONS
rades, with Past Commander j. G.
Lancaster in the chair, and the
meeting was enthusiastic. One
recruit was mustered in.
While the Post was in session
the ladies connected with the Post
were covering the tables that had
been erected with piles of edibles
and the supply seemed large
enough for an army.
At noon promptly the coffee
which was prepared by Mrs. E. S.
HAYNES was brought in and after
the assembly was comfortably seat
ed at the tables was called tu order
by Commander Hill, and grace
was said by Rev. S. P. Pryor
Then the attack and charge was
made and everybody ate and laugh
ed and ate again, and the charge
continued for nearly an hour.
And the coffee-one lady pleaded
guilty to drinking a quart, she
liked it so much.
The next part of the Reunion
then took place, and was started
by Mrs. Eugene Smith, and her
sister. Miss Johnson. of Jasper,
singing "Nelly Gray" which they
did excellently. Commander Hill
then spoke briefly and introduced
Past Commander Lancaster, who
made some witty saIlies and
brought down the house Another
song Of war, Gust Before the Bat
tie, Mother" was sung, and Cons
rade T. R. Harris, representing the
Navy, was introduced, and made
rattling speech, mainly reminis'
cent, which was well received.
Then the old old favorite "Tenting
on the Old Camp Ground" was
sung, and Rev. Sam ?. Pryor was
next introduced and made a spir-
tied and eloquent address which
was well received
Then the song "Old Folks al
Home" was sung and the program
closed by the Post voting theil
their thanks to the ladies for theil
singing and to all who helped tt
make the occasion SO pleasant anC
memorable. The gathering ther
rallied and made an attack on tn,
ice cream, and soon disposed of al
on hand.
Then the Post had group pho
togrsph taken, after which the Wis
itors gradually dispersed, all de
claring they had spent happ,

pated in the exercises.

In strong editorial vindicat
log Mr.. Bryan, the great and
good Atlanta Constitution uses
the following language:
1T is unfortunate that in our
times partisanship can run to the
excess of imputing to such a
man motives that have never
appeard in his life and a sugges-
ton of which can nowhere be
found in his career. Mr.. BRYAN
needs no vindication before the
public opinion of his character
by his countrymen and the effect
OF the statement by the court
serves merely to rebuke the in
justice done him by partisan
presses and those who have found
ottense in his bold and aggressive
public character"
For several years we have
made the same insistence with
reference to Grover Cleveland, to
whom the argument applies with
equal force. While we have not
agreed with Mr.. Bryan, we
have always respected his ability
and honesty of purpose aud voted
for him as the nominee of the
party.

CLEVELAND THE MAN.

In an editorial on presidential
possibilities Sundays Atlanta
Journal contained the following
reference to ex-president Cleve-
land:
Many Of the business men of
Atlanta and Of Georgia favor
Grover Cleveland. They argue
that third term has nothing to do
with the matter, that he is the
only man who had led the party
to victory twice in the last TWEEN
ty years and contend that he can
do SO again. The former New
Yorker and present Jerseyman
has, so it seems, the confidence
of the business men, the bankers
and IN some cases, the politicians.
Many of the state house officials,
and they are pnetty good fore
casters of political events, claim
that Cleveland could sweep the
country. The fact that he has
been invited here to speak has re-
vived the boom which was on for
him some time ago. The doubt
which is created in the minds of
the Atlantians who favor him is
whether or not the Democrats
will give him the nomina ton. If
he does get the nomination it is
argued that there would be a
Democratic landslide and that
everything would go to the Dem
ocrats. Cleveland is strong in
New York, he is exceedingly
popular in New Jersey and Mass
achusetts, and it is claimed that
ne is the man for the place by
many OF his admirers.
He has many strong friends in
Georgia, and although there are
lots of people who say he was a
bolter it would be a sure thing
that he would carry the south
Solldly if he was nominated.
Another question asked anent
the Cleveland talk, is would Mr..
Bryan bolt the ticket if Cleveland
was nominated. Cleveland and
Bryan are not on the best of
terms, and no matter what is said
Mr.. Bryan has a large following
among the Democrats. If Bryan
should bolt he would carry with
him thousands of voters.
