Judge Russetl's Banquet
CT. j. Brown.)


WANT to tell the readers of
The Weekly Jeffersonian what
good time we friends of
Judge Richard B. Russell had
in Atlanta last Saturday night, at a
birthday dinner given in honor of
his fiftieth birthday
Three or four days before the ban
Duet came off, my friend, John w.
Moore, country boy, who is now
practicing law in Atlanta, and who
ANas formerly schoolmate of Mrs.
klssell, who, by the way, is much
niger than Judge Russell, suggest
ed that few friends of Judge Rus
sell should get together and give
him surprise birthday dinner on his
return from Minnesota, where he
had been on business trip, he
reaching Atlanta on his fiftieth birth
day.
The writer was invited, and al
though he was a little late on ac-
count Of railroad connections, he was
cordially received and enjoyed the
occasion immensely
The banquet was held at Durand's
restaurant, and after the guests,
numbering about a hundred, enioyed
a splendid meal, the tOastmaster,
Hon. Walter r. Brown, began call
ing upon some Of those present for
short speeches suitable to the occa-
sion The first speech Of the even
ing was humorous and eloquent
, address by Judge B. H. Hill, who
spoke enthusiastically of Judge Rus
sells great qualifications as a Judge,
and how, since his close association
with Judge Russell, he had learned
to love him as a brother Judge Hill
was followed by witty speeches and
appropriate jokes and anecdotes by
Judge Spencer R. Atkinson, Judge
George Bell, Gen. A. J. West, Judge
Newt Morris, B. J. Conyers, B. M.
Blackburn, Judge H. S. West of
Athens, John T. Norris of Carriers
vile, Judge Grogan of Elberton, J.
d. fitzpatrick and many other promi-
nent men from different sections of
the State.
The writer was called upon and re-
sponded in a short talk, telling of
the high regard in which Judge Rus
sell was held by the people from his
section of the State, and how. his
career had been an inspiration to
thousands of honest and ambitious
country boys.
The occasion was thoroughly dem
Ocratic, free and easy and absolutely
without any dress suit effect Every
body present, including bankers, bust
ness men, laboring men, farmers and
lawyers, seemed to enjoy the occa-
sion with exceeding pleasure.
After speeches from the above
named gentlemen and many others,
Judge Russell, the guest of honor,
was then introduced by my friend,
John W. Moore, practically in the
following words:
"Mr. POSTMASTER: There comes a
time in the life of every successful
man when friendship asserts itself.
To most men that time comes when
fortune smiles upon him and from
bOunteOus hand he can bestow IA
Vors and dispense patronage It is
seldom that private citizen or pub
lie servant who stands empty-hand-
ed before his fellow-men is wined
and dined. This occasion is an excep-
ton to the rule. This is time when
plain, blunt friendship boldly as
serts itself.

NNR COLORADO DIT0RIsL ASSOCIATION
TUE WELD COUNTY FAIR

In prOportion to the hard work
and enthusiasm that ensues from
now until the county fair opens Will
he the success Of the annual exhibit
of Weld products in September.
The Fair association is already
busily engaged in :he prelimlnaries
of the big fair in an effort TO make
il the best that has ever been held
in Greeley. No officers or directors
of any fair can achieve the best re-
suits if they are not given outside
help. The success Of their endeav-
ors depends largely on the co-opera-
tion of the people generally.
Weld county has set a pace for
the state in the past, and it is hoped
that there will he no laxity on the
part OF its people because we Are
able to point with pride to what has
been done. The county has set
fast pace for itself and should be
kept its own chief competitor.
The recent rains indicate that the
big pumpkins. fine wheat and per-
feet spuds will be with us as usual
next fall. The dry weather has had
its effect, but has not put fine yields
OF the fields out Of the range Of
probability.
In addition to the displays Of
every conceivable sort there will be
. fine program Of entertainment
provided. When the harvest Is over
the farmers and their families are
entitled to q little diversion. The
time for play comes when the farm
ef has . day or two to spare and
when the weather is most conducive
to pleasure.
The time to begin helping the
officers of the county fair Is now.
The time to work Is until Septem-
Der 10, and the time to play is the
four days following that date.
Weld county wants all the state
to attend its fair this year. The
only way to get the people here Is
to let them know in advance what
they may expect to see and what y
good time they can have. Appoint
yourself committee Of one to
spread the tsory of Wonderful Weld
and its great county fair.

TO HALF MILLION
Will Buy Donkey and Make
Trip Through
Ireland.

BOSTON, Jan. 8.-Relieving he Is heir
to a half million dollars, Thomas Quinn.
Roxbury candy maker, will shortly
leave his home in this CITY for London
to lay claim to money left him by one
OF his grand uncles three years ago.
The story of the fortune, which has
been related to Mr.. Quinn and which he
has in a manner proved to he correct, Is
that many years ago his grandfather,
Edward ouinS, sergeant in the Brit
ish army, had a quarrel with his two
brothers, and in a f1t of temper they
left for Australia to seek their fortunes.
There they discovered q gold mine. A
few years later, when they had become
rich, one of the brothers died, leaving
his share in the mine to the other.
Three wears ago the second brother
died, leaving his estate to the present
claimant, Thomas Quinn, Of this city.
He has already received from Brunett
& Johnson, London solicitors, papers
and documents proving he is the only
heir and giving him the right TO draw
on the sum.
Quinn for twenty-nine years has been
making sweetmeats for wholesale con-
'fectioners.
His son, John Quinn, who is janitor of
the Delta building, 10 Postoffice square,
is desirous of promptly securing the for
tune for his father.
'"The first thing l buy when lay my
hands on that money Is donkey, and
will ride through Ireland feeling like a
king" said the elder Quinn last night.

am. AL have to do is to go and get
the money!
