BANKER IS ASSASSINATED. King of Climax" Oliver Shot to Dca uh at Leesburg, tia. Leesburg. Ga., Feb. 17.-Three allots, fired by unknown persons, killed A. ?. Oliver, known as the "King of Climax," a man famoi 8 for his financial schemes throughout the entire South, in front of Iiis bank here to-night about H.'SO o'clock. At the time of the shooting the street was dark. Oliver had just emerged from his institution, the Farmers' Manic and Loan Company, when bc was assassinated. Three men were seen running away from the place just after the shooting, but nobody seems to have gotten a close view of them. Posses, headed hy officers, are scouring the surrounding country to night for the assassins, and surround ing towns have been notified to be on the lookout for suspicious charac ters. Oliver was about l? years of age. He died instantly. No threats upon his life are known to have been made in Leesburg, lint recently at Smith ville, where Oliver also had a hank established, several of his old credit ors are said to have made threats to shoot him to death should he come hack there again. That there is any connection be tween those threats and to-night's shooting is doubted here. What mo tive? caused the shooting, however, is a mystery, although Oliver had been in scores of deals and came in con tact with practically every person in tliis section. Oliver was released from a peni tentiary in Mississippi about six months ago. where he had served four years on a charge of bigamy. Ile satisfied the court thal his name was not Harding, as he had been ar rested under.

Charming Entertainments Enjoyed by young Folks-A Few Locals. (Too Late for Last Week.) Coneross, Feb. 15.-Special: One of the largest and most elaborate so cial affairs of this season was that tendered on last Friday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Al exander, when their attractive daughters, Misses Mertle and Codie, entertained their young friends at a Valentine party. About 15 couples responded to the invitations anti a thoroughly delightful evening was spent. After the guests were re ceived they were us-hered into the parlor and were busily engaged in interesting gaines. Hearts of all va rieties and sizes were the order of the evening, and they were drawn at intervals for the purpose of progres sive conversation and contest. The Hist of these interesting pe riods of the evening was a panto mime, the active parts being written on hearts, which were distributed by thc hostesses. After this the young ladies and young men were asked to mareil, a huge heart being placed over the door between the two rooms in which the boys and girls were in waiting, and the hoy and girl meeting in front of the heart became partners and were invited into an adjoining room, where beau tiful hearts wei?; suspended from a rope drawn across the room, where each was presented a ball, and in turn they threw among the suspend ed hearts, and the one hit was given to the thrower, the captured heart containing their "fortune.'* The reading of these "fortunes" afforded much merriment. After a few minutes another change was made. A small cedar tree was brought into the parlor, on which were fastened tiny red hearts. On eac h was written the name of one hoy in the parlor. The girls were blindfolded and led to the tree, the one she clipped being her partner for a more Interesting game. After they were all seated, now resting their hearts, a delicious fruit course was served, consisting of apples, or anges, bananas, peanuts, cocoanut and chocolate candy. After a season of pleasant conver sation the guests departed, and the members of the gossipers were pro fuse in their thanks to the Misses Alexander for their charming hospi tality. Another beautiful entertainment of the past week was that given by Miss Sue Annie Todd to the younger set on the same night of the above event. About SU were present and greatly enjoyed the evening, which was pleasantly spent, a number of interesting and jolly games being in dulged in until a late hour.
