May Have Open House.
1t is very possible that on New
Years or some time during the near
approaching holiday season, an open
house" will be held at either the
Young Mems or the Young Women's
Christian Association. Last year such
an event was planned for but neces-
sarily had 10 be postponed. Later a
Colonial Party was given in the par
lors and auditorium of the Y. NJ. G.. A.
which was decided social success.
There will be many events during the
holidays this year and functions both
large and small have been planned
for. The associations believe that
1
Years day or evening would be a
feather in their cap in the way of so
liability.

 ty-POlltics Lagging


 Centreville, April 2.-(Special.) 1.-The ex- tremey cold weather which prevailed here during the first of the week, and which was accompanied by a heavy snow caused much damage to growing field crops and to gardens in this section. All cotton that was up was destroyed and the farmers will have to plant their crops again The oldest citizens say that no such weather was ever known in April before.
 Ten persons have qualified as candidates for delegates to the state convention from Bibb county. Six of these are to be elected Their views on the questions which are to come before the convention are not known. It is reported that all of those who qualified except one opposed the amendment.

 The people here are considerably inter- ested in the reported demented condition of Folly Mason, a ngro, who Is con- fined in the county Jail of Montgomery county under a death sentence for the murder of richard Meigs in this county about year ago. The supreme court af- firmed the judgment of the lower court on Thursday of last week and fixed June 4 as the day for the execution of the sen- tence. It is reported that since the ac- ton of the supreme court the negro has refused to eat, and is in a rather pre- carious condition. Richard Meigs was a respected white citizen.
