Ad for a New $900 Steinway Piano Ad for Weekly Commercial Appeal $5,000 for 50 cents VERY FEW OF THEM LEFT One sees but little of the old time Southern plantation ----- now-a- days. The reason is a good one – there are but few to be seen. The passing of the old Southern body servants, might serve as a theme for an interesting volume, so mysterious and so silent the march of the great throng of them to that bourn from whence no traveler ever returns. Nothing is ever said of them. They are not creatures of importance, one would think and their obituaries are never left after them in the public prints to tell the people of the great work-a-day world that the poor slaves of the past are dead and gone. Thus for more than 25 years the race of genuine old fashioned plantation ----- has been paying out in Dixie, and they have been ‘layin’ down de shovel an’ de hoe” in very truth. Few of them are left – just a few and they are to be found only on the large wildernesses of plantations of the extreme South. Here and there throughout Georgia they can be found – right where they had been left after the storm of civil war had spent itself, and they had stood there around the ‘big house’ like sentinels on the watch tower, to guard the mother and the little one while the father slept far away on some battle field. The fidelity displayed in this entitles the ----- of the ‘60s to endless praise. There was a war going on involving their freedom, and yet they stood like a firm phalanx around the homes of the Southern soldiers, while they were out in war, and these black faced knights braved death at the hands of Northern hosts to save the families of the men who had gone to the front to fight for a result contrary to the --- emancipation. It was simply because the old fellows knew their masters were their best friends and that they ought to stand by them. It was simply because they loved their life on the great plantations of the South, protected and upheld by their white friends and owners. - [Atlanta Constitution] NECK SAVED Some men have luck, some not. Dick Crawford, colored, seems to have belonged to the class that have luck. He was to have hung at Dawson, Ga. last Friday, but was granted a respite on the representation that he could prove an alibi. From the very beginning Dick has asserted that if given a chance he could establish the fact that he was not in Georgia at the time of the commission of the crime he was charged with, but, on the contrary, was in the state of Alabama, and, therefore, could not have committed the crime. He went further and said he knew Deputy Sheriff Ike Parsons, of Jefferson County, Alabama, and Mr. Parsons knew him and that Mr. Parsons would swear from him that he was in Alabama at the time of the crime, and working for the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway Company in their yards at Blue Creek, near Birmingham On this vehement and reiterated statement of the negro, Mr. Parsons was written to and persuaded to go to Dawson, Ga. which he did last Thursday. Mr. Parsons saw the negro, recognized him and, referring to his memorandum book found that he had Dick down as working for the Tennessee Company, as stated, at the time Dick claimed he was. Mr. Parsons at that time was a time-keeper for the Tennessee Company. Upon this representation Dick was given a respite and will, in all probability, not only escape the gallows, but all punishment and be a happy man. – [News] TENNESSEE’S CONVICTS The Tennessee plan of dealing with state convicts has evolved from many trials and tribulations. Formerly the convicts were worked with in the walls at Nashville. They were leased to a contractor, who put them to work making wagons, agricultural implements, etc. This plan was tired and found wanting, and now the state has decided to work at coal mining, on account, all convicts fit for that kind of labor, the balance to be worked on a large farm, producing food for the prisoners vegetables, fruits, etc. The products of the farm are also used by the state benevolent institutions. The farm convicts also make and repair implements for the use of the prison force engaged in digging coal. All the margin of products, including the coal, not consumed in the prisons, insane asylums, etc will be sold in the open market at regular prices. There will be no serious completion in this case with the products of honest workmen. The coal produced cannot be more than 4 or 5 percent of the state’s total output. One farm cannot hurt the thousands of farmers than now only partially supply the demand for farm produce. The plan takes the convict question out of politics; removes the convicts from the contract system. It teaches them farming and coal mining, the two employments in which most ex- convicts find employment. It thus makes them honest men by fitting them to earn and honest living. Alabama should profit by the experience of Tennessee. – [Age-Herald] BYARS SAYS HE IS NOT AN INFIDEL There is in the county jail a prisoner who is an infidel. He has been making more or less fun of Eugene Byars, who is to hang on February 8 for courting the series of ministers of the gospel and seeking religious consultation. Byars is the murderer of his cousin Eugene Walker, but he seems to think some folks can be in a worse plight than himself, whose life has but twenty-fix days to run. Yesterday, after the infidel had twitted him for some time, Byars said to him: “Do you believe like you say you do?” “Yes, “ replied his fellow prisoner. “If that is the case with you,’ said Byars,” all I have got to say is that, although I am condemned to hang on February 8 and will die on that day, unless something happens, I would rather be in my fix than yours.” Indeed it is current that Byars is very fond of religious conversation. He has received visits from Dr. Morris, Dr. Beard and other ministers, and always seems glad to have them with him. He has expressed a desire to have one certain minister visit him every day, and all whenever they can. He has grown very serious, and seems to be preparing as best he can, for the awful summons. – [Birmingham News] ‘TIS TRUE The first question a man asks when he sees a girl flirting is whether she is respectable or not; it raises a doubt at once, says an exchange. This being the case, surely no modest girl can afford to indulge in the pastime. When the down is brushed from the peach its beauty is so marred that it can never be restored, and so when a young girl throws lightly aside that sweet and modest reserve so becoming to a maiden, and which so elevates her as to enable her to command the respect of all, she loses her greatest charm and becomes chap and common. Flirting may seem to the giddy and thoughtless girl to be wonderfully amusing and she may get the idea that she is fascinating, but it is a most degrading thing and should be frowned upon by every young lady who has an ambition to become a worthy and charming young lady. – [Ex.] Ad for book – “Dollars and Sense” by Nath’l C.

The murderer made his escape. – [Birmingham News] Envelopes 5 cents a pack. Do you want them? If so, call at the post office building. Atlanta, Ga. Jan 10 – Gen. Robert E. Lee’s birthday was celebrated here by the Virginia Society and the Confederate Veterans. The Virginia Society had as its guest Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, who made an address at the Young Men’s Christian Association building this morning. His subject was “Gen. Robert E. Lee.” The orator devoted the greater part of his address to a sketch of the life of the Confederacy’s great general. In conclusion General Lee said; “Englishmen, whose past battles against each other have been recorded on the pages of history as evidence of their valor and heroism, are everywhere proud of their country, whose morning drum beats follow the sun, and keeping company with the hours circles the earth with one continuous and unbroken strain of the marital airs of England. “American’s, too, feel a just pride in the destiny of the greatest republic the world has ever looked upon. The future is in the hands of her citizens, whether their fathers wore the grey or the blue, and the greatest patriotism and the loftiest conservatism will have to be exercised by all to prevent the ship of state from being wrecked in the breakers of the future. The area of our country is so great; the rapidly growing population is becoming more and more mixed. The interest of sections are so diverse, that the great national questions, it decided to the satisfaction of one or two parts of a common country, give dissatisfaction to the remaining parts. Improved machinery is doing away with human labor more and more every and the ranks of the army of discontented are being crammed with recruits. The girdle which binds the states of the American union has already displayed weak spots since the war between them, as effective as the armor plate of a new national cruiser. May the descendants of veterans of the blue and the gray exercise such wisdom, conservatism and patriotism that, like a great rock from whose side surging seas recoil, they will become a great reserve around which the lovers of republic liberty as taught by our fathers call rally, and against which all elements of destruction will disappear. The same laws govern and the same flag flies over all today, and the Americanism and the loyal of the south must not be attract when we meet to celebrate the memory of our war heroes and recount the deeds of our soldiery.’ Tonight the Virginia society gave a banquet to their quest. – [Age- Herald] Senator Perkins, of California, has presented to the Geographic Society at Washington an extremely interesting relic in the shape of the head of a harpoon that was found in a whale taken in Behring Sea in 1890, bearing the name of the old whaler Montezuma. ……………..

Grambling of Flomaton was present when a lady in that neighborhood gave birth to four children.

The mother, a Mrs. Toikler, is a delicate looking woman, but survived the ordeal, and when he left she was doing well.
