A Commercial Man Well Known Here
Shot in Houston, Tex.
Mr. M. Parelru. one of the beet
knawn commercial salesmen who vis
ited Augustn. was killed a few days
since In Houston. Texas.
Mr. Parelra was In Augusta last July
shaking hands with his numerous
friends. He was almost like an Au
gustan. *o well was he known here.
A paper devoted to the traveling
men's Interests tells of his death in
Houston.
He was shot by a party named Geo.
de Moss, who claimed that Mr. Pareira
had Insulted his wife.
it seems hardly probable that Mr.
Parelra did Insult Mr. de Moss' wife,
as he was always a peifect gentleman.
Th" news of the death of Mr. Parei
ra will be a regretted surprise to ills
many friends In Augusta.

was by boring with an auger through
the woofl to make a hole In such po
sition as would enable him to run his
finger through, turn the bolt, slide It
back and open the window. The first
hole struck about an Inch and a half
above the bolt. This was out of reach.
The next was just an Inch below the
holt. It Is not known why he did not
continue his, efforts, but his courage
probably failed him or a noise fright
ened him off. It was hoped he would
repeat the visit as arrangements are
new complete for his reception, but he
1 has decided to postpone the attempt
| a little while longer. The clues to the
burglar's identity are such as will not
improbably result at an early date in
aapturing him.

■ The cirrus show* In Athens today.
I Yesterday * big crowd, drawn to the,
■city by the (laming poatera of the cir
rus bill board*, had maty a familiar
and well known face In It. Among th •
many present, all type* of humanity j
I rr.uld be seen—here the country poll!!- |
: clan *nd *tump *i>eaker. then the jolly,
[hale fellow well m.»t land owner, then
the long, gaunt backwnodama* who ri
vaied th* giant in alxe. or the sturdy
lowlandef with hin liabe In arm»--a!-
tractrft attention.
| A few of our visitor* deserve atten
tion—so here goes:
! nian. well known heie, who live*
[ not far across the river, was over in
I his usual state, not the state of Ueor-
I Bin—drunk. Few men can get in this
condition that do not receive th ■ con
tempt of the sober citlxena. but this
one man seems to Jiave the sympathy
of all.
Some months ago, this man, who
was a prosperous farmer, entered a
game of cards with a well known gam
bler.
A difficulty arose, and the gambler
drew a gun, shooting twice.
The farmer then killed the man in
self-defence.
Ever since that time, the man has
been unable to sleep, at all times see
ing visions of the dead man. The only
relief. he claims, Is in drinking.
Many do not agree with him In this,
bui all feel sorry for his condition.
One cf our many visitors was stand
ing on Btoad, when the chctnical en
gine rassed on its way In response to
an alarm.
The man stood and looked at the en
gine until It had disappeared, and then,
turning to a friend, remarked:
• I'll sw'ar if they had them things
over my way, I’d set a haystack on
fire every day jist to see them run.
And then there was red lemonade
and peanuts!
