>[r Joseph Hughes of this
.county, and Miss Juranie Dixon
,.f Glascock county^ were mav-
; ied at the home of the bride on
Dec. 25th. Rev. A. .J. Lazenby
officiating. We offer congratu-
Mr. Herbert Neal Dead.
Our town was terribly shock
'd and grieved last Wednesday
veiling when the Picayune
came up bringing the body of
Mr. Herbert Neal, the 17 year
:dd son of Mr. John B. Neal, and
it was ’phoned over town that
he had committed suicide.
That morning he bought a
buttle of laudanum from Dr. A,
J. Mathews, got lib father’s
pistol, and took the noon train
and went down to Bonoville
four miles from Thomson, got
off tho train and wandered
around i ho mill pond there un
til about dusk, took the lauda
num and then shot himself
twice, in the abdomen and the
right temple, producing instant
death.
Our town was shocked at the
suicide of this popular young
man who was tho pet of the
whole town and the idol of his
father’s homo. While he had
been in bad health for several
years, yet but few people
thought it was preying on his
mi,id. lie left a letter to his
mother asking all to meet him
in Heaven. He seems to have
brooded over his bad health un
til his mind was deranged and
he sought relief in death. No
young man had more friends
and was moro beloved than
Herbert Neal, and bis many
friends are grieved at his tragic
end.
Herbert was a member of
the Baptist church and was held
in high esteem by all who were
acquainted with him.
The largo concourse of people
who attended the funeral—one
of tho largest gatherings of peo
ple ever assembled in the ceme
tery—attested the popularity
and esteem in which ho was
held.
Five of his school-mates,
Messrs. Durham Watson,Edwin
Harrison, Alva Watson, Quinn
West and Clarance Heckle and
bis cousin, Ray Neal acted as
pall-bearers.
lie was interred in the
cemetery here this morning at
ni^j o’clock, Revs. G. W. Duval
audit. E. L. Harris conducting
the services at the home of his
father.
To tho heart-broken family
our sympathies go out in this
dark and grief-stricken hour,
and we pray God’s sweetest
consolation upon thorn.

Letter from Stale School Commis
sioner.
Mrs. M. A. McLean Head.
Mrs. M. A. McLean was stricken
with paralysis Monday evening and
lingered until Wednesday night and
died. Our town has been sore strick
en this week with death, and when it
was known that this good woman
was dangerously ill inquiries about
her were on every one’s lips. No
more noble, patriotic, and golden
hearted lady ever lived than this ex
cellent lady. She was chairman of
the Memorial Association aud was
connected with every work and or
ganization for the perpetuation of
the principals for which the Confed
eracy contended, and the keeping
alive in the hearts of the young the
admiration anti love for the valpr
and undying bravery and heroism of
the men who wore the gray.
She will be interred in the cemetery
here this afternoon at two o’clock,
Bro. R. E. L. Harris will preach the
funeral
The Veterans and Daughters of
the Confederacy will escort the body
to the grave.
To her children and family we offer
our condolence, and pray God that
the life and works of this good wo
man may be an inspiration to the
children and grandchildren.

Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 17, 1001.
To t.he McDuffie County School Com
missioner :
Ny Dear Sir:
The amount apportioned to your
county for 1902 is 90,819.99.
At the present moment nobody
can tell how the payments will be
made next year. If the decision of
the Supreme Court makes the Howell
resolution legal, wc will certainly be
able to make two payments next
Spring, of one month each.
Until that matter is settled the
Treasurer cannot stafio definitely how
much money will ho available for
payment to the teachers in tho early
part of tho year.
IFe will continue to ufec Roark’s
Methods next year, and in connec
tion with it the teachers will also
study Shaw’s School Hygiene. This
book can he bad from the Southern
School Book Depository, Burgess
Smith, General Manager,Atlanta,Ga.
You will find this School Hygiene by
Dr. Shaw a most helpful hook for
yourselves as well as your touchers.
The legislature passed a law re
quiring the teaching of Physiology,
I will send you a copy of tho law as
soon as the Governor signs it and I
can have it printed. The teachers
will have to be examined on Physio
logy and Hygiene next year.
I will send you in a few days a
supply of the new manual and copies
of my report to the legislature, to
gether with all the supplies you will
need for next year.
Yours truly,
G- R- Glenn,
State School Commissioner.
