True story in the Lowry City indie
pendent: A surly looking man board
ed the Clinton line train at Clinton
followed by bench-legged flee. The
conductor politely informed him
that they couldn't carry dogs on the
train, whereupon the man kicked the
dog off. The train pulled out and
the dog trotted along comfortably
beside il, occasionally .pausing TO
lick a stray dog that ran out to see
the steam cars go by. The passen-
gers finally began to joke the con.
ductor about the dog keeping up,
whereupon he spoke to the engineer,
and they began to run at the rate Of
nine miles an hour, but the dog trot-
trd along with his tongue hanging
out, perfectly comfortable, which so
exasperated the engineer that he got
the engine down to twelve miles an
hour, and the dog disappeared.
When the train arrived ct Lowry
City, however, the dog was at the
depot playing with Sam Pattison
and waiting Tor It's master. Sam
said the dog had been playing
around there for an houf.-Ex.

MEMORIAL DAY.

The annual custom of doing honor to
the silent heroes of the Lost Cause"
was duly observed here last Monday
The weather looked little unpropi-
tious, heavy cloud and cool breeze
prevailing, which caused change of
program, and instead of the exercises
being held at the cemetery, the large
assembly met in the court house.
The Marietta Cornet Band discoursed
lively music and headed the procession
as it marched around the city park,
Col. j. Glenn Jiles acting az marshal of
the day.
The old Confederate veterans, a long
line of them, headed the procession,
followed by the Marietta Rifles, under
command of Capt. Fred Morris and
Lieut.. Walter Schilling, fine body of
young men; long line Of several hun
dred children of the public schools,
carrying wreaths and flowers; children
of the Oonfederscy, Varins Davis chap
ter; ladies of the Memorial Associa-
ton, and children with decorated pony
carts. It was an imposing and beauti.
full sight, inspiring and patriotic.
At the court house, after a song, Rev.
A. r. Bond delivered a beautiful prayer,
and then Col Glenn Giles read the rules
of bestowing the crosses of honor.
Mrs. R. T. Nesbitt, in touching ad-
dress, bestowed the crosses on seven
old Confederate veterans.
Capt W. ]. Hudson, in his usual pa
thetic and forceful manner, introduced
Rev. r. B. Headen, of Rome, the speaker
for the occasion.
1t has been our good fortune to hear
nearly every memorial address deliv-
cred in Marietta since the war, but we
believe the address of DR.. Headen was
the most appropriate, sensible and
stirring that we have ever heard. The
sentiments of patriotism and the trib-
utes paid by him to the Confederate
soldiers, living and dead, their sons and
daughters, and to the noble ladies OF the
Memorial Association and Daughters of
the Confederacy, were grandly elo-
quent, and was fully endorsed by the
frequent applause given the noble old
Confederate veteran and orator.
DR.. Patton delivered the benediction,
and all who could, repaired to the Con-
federate cemetery and decorated the
graves of the Confederate dead.

She was one of the multitude
with the passion for bridge-only
she liked to play for money. One
afternoon at her winter home in
the South she gave a luncheon to
which several resort acquaintance
were invited and afterward .pro-
posed bridge. Either by accident
or design she failed to mention to
her guests that the stakes in the
game were not wholly imaginary.
Some of the women may have UNI
derstood that there was to be a
settlement after the last card
should have been played, but there
was one among the company who
had no idea that the game was for
any other purpose except to while
away the idle afternoon.
The fates would have it that the
misunderstanding one should play
poorly-in fact. she played ex-
tremely out of her usual form.
When she arose to go she was fol-
