Please announce that thero will be a public meeting hold at Peters Crook, April 28th, at 2 p. in., in accordanco with instructions of the President of the National F. A. & I. U., it being a memorial sor vice hold in honor of our late Pro eideit, Col. L. 19. Polk. The fol lowing speakors havo boon invited: lion. W'. T. O'Doll, Houn. C. H. Cairpontor, and Hon. J. M. Whit miro. Tho public are also invited to attond. W. R. JoNEs, Soc. Peters Crook F. A. Jhudgo Brewer of the Supromo Court, is much givon to saying quaint and humorous things in his aftor-dinnor speeches. Tho othor ovoning at Washingten, in addross ing a club, he took occasion to op poso woman's suffrage as a remedy for tho abuses in municipal gov ornmont. He said it meant giving ovory wife two votes instead of ono as at present; for, though his ju risdiction as a member of tho Su promo Court extended from ocean to ocoan, and gulf to the lakes, yet it sometimes failed to take in tho Browor household. Now, if women aro so masterful, is not all this a good roason for giving thon the suffrage? Time Darkey avid his Check. "Ono of the incidents of the boom at Chattanooga, which happened to fall under my immediate obsor vation, interested me greatly," sa id a Toninossoonn. "A negro thoro had come into the ownership of a small pioco of real estate worth, whein ho got it., about $100. Dur ing tho boom this property becamo very desirable, and could probably have )001n bought for a few hun dred dollars had the would-bo pur chaser not scarod the darkey by offering him several thousand, but a deal was finally closed for $10, 000, and tho nogro went to the hank with a check to got the money. t "How do you want it? asked the cashier. "Gib it to me in silber." Tho cashier began to pilo up the sacks of silver and the negro's cyos grow bigger and bigger. Finally he could stand it no longer. "Stop, boss," he said, "gib me a diollahi and a half and keop do res' for me1." From Ihe Ealey Democrat of April 20th, Tle protractod meetng is still m progress at the Meothod is t church. Tihe pastor, Rev. Hutson, has beeon assisted this week by the Rev. Dunlap, of Piedmont. Ow ing to the busy season, we suppose the attention has been small. Messrs.

The Alliance is on a boom all over the State, and the most on couraging reports reach us. Now members are new being enrolled b)y the hundred and disbanded lodgos reorganized. It is reported that Mr. W. HI. Addington is building a house and will shortly start in operation a government distillery at the old1 Berry mill lplace, in the "Sugar Town" neighborhood, six miles east ofEasley. Mr. Lowell K(. Koel Icy, it is said, will be the store keeper and guagor. An election for Intendant and four Wardens for tho town of Eas Iey, to serve the ensuing year was beh!1 on Monday last, and resulted as lollows: W'. A.
