Yes, truly may it be said: "That in the midst of life, we are in death.” Ere a week ago this handsome, vigorous boy was the joy of his home, and the comfort ot a loving mother; but the great reaper came and demanded the pure and gentle spirit to be transplanted to a clime where all is bright and beautiful. Tom Peek was indeed a noble, high-minded boy. One who, as his classmates asserted, never sullied his lips with a wicked word nor darkened his soul with a deception. His young life was full of vitality, enjoying boyish sports with all the zest of a young mind free from guile; yet withal, so kind and con siderate to others, as to gain the esteem and love of his companions. The loved ones will miss his tender, ministering spirit, hut in the’home beyond the shad ows he will be waitng and his noble in fluence will shed rays of light and love, far and near among classmates and school mates. Take comfort, dear parents, in the thought that your boy performed a noble mission and that boyhood was made brighter, better and purer by his young life, and a tender, loving Father does not willingly afflict us, but sorrows and sym pathies when our hearts are grief stricken.

STILL MUZZLE THE DOGS In Some Towns—Science, However, Demonstrates that There Is No Truth as a Basis for the Fiction. From the Atlanta Journal. The subject of dog days is an interesting one at this time of the year and there are conflicting opinions as to when the dog days begin, when they end and what they are, anyway. A hot discussion is going on as to whether the first dog day this year was on yesterday, the 28th, or today, the 29th, of July. It would take a skilled astronomer to decide that i>oint. Certain it is that these dog days, as some people have been wont to understand them, do not begin at pre cisely the same time every year because modern astronomers have shown that the rising of the dog star Sirius, coincident with the sun, comes later every year. The standard dictionary of the English language -says that the dog days which form that "not, sultry season of summer during parts of July and August, are so called from the fact that the rising of the star dog Sirius is during that period coincident with the rising of the sun." The Standard dictionary stops there. Now, the simple trutih is that this whole •matter of dog days has no foundation in fact, and that being so it matters little upon what date they begin. The origin of these dog days is very an tique, and they came about in this way. The great heat of July led to a supersti tion among the Romans. They conceived that the pre-eminent warmth and the diseases and other calamities flowing from it were somehow connected with the rftsing and setting of the star Ca nicula, or Little Dog star, in coincidence with the sun. They accordingly conferred the name of dog days upon the period between the 3rd of July and the 11th of August. So, the the 20 days immediately preceding and the 20 days following rhe. rising of th® dog star constituted the dog days of the Roman superstition. Their poet, Horace, even believed in this super stition. He makes alusion to it in his adress to the Blanduston Fountain in which he remarks that the influence of the dog star has made the water warmer. Hut the scientific fact is that a spring necessarily preserves a mean heat all the year round. The utter baselessness of this Roman superstition of Dog daVB has been well shown by the ordinary processes of na ture, for, according to the International Encyclopedia, the dog star does till the latter end of August, while of course the days between the 3d of July and the 11th of August are just what they have ever been. Dr. Hutton has shown how the co incident rising of the dog star with the sun is getting later and later every year in all latitudes. On the Roman principle the dog star in time will probably be charged with bringing frost and sleet and snow. Still the Dog days continue to be a very popular phrase, and will long continue to be so, for some people convinced against their will are going to be of the same opinion still. It is undoubtedly under the lingering re gard for the old notion as much as from the consideration of the effect of extreme heat upon canine flesh and blood that magistrates of towns so often order dogs to be muzzled about the beginning of July. The variety of the Roman superstition is proven by an antique garnet gem in the Bessborough collection, continues the International Encyclopedia, representing the face of a tongue-lolling dog surround ed by solar rays. All of this tends to explode the modern notion of 'Dog days, when dogs go mad in droves, so to write, and it rains every day for forty days, as it were. It wil be very painful for some very good people to do, but it is high time that the old Roman superstition of the 'Dog days were abandoned. And yet Sirius, the dog star, otherwise called Canicula—wnich the Romans, with out any reason, regarding as a star of evil omen—is a very big thing. It is a star of the first magnitude, says the astronomers, located in the Constella tion of the Great Dog, and the brightest in the heavens. This star is only 123,000- 000,000 of miles from the earth, and has a of its own. It would take 400 suns tike proper, that is to say, independent uintt-- the earth, to send us as much light as ours, at the distance that Sirius is from that. star. Our sun at that distance would be less than a star of the sixth magnitude and would be invisible to the naked eye. Notes Taken On the Run.

Executive Committee Held an Important Meeting Yes terday Afternoon. The executive committee o fthe Carnival Association held an important meeting yesterday evening for the purpose of mak ing the plans for the big carnival more ae finite. From now on the committee will be hard at work and the advertising of the big un dertaking will comence at once. The com mittee has authorized the making of sev eral important contracts. They are, how ever, somewhat reticent about some of their plans, as it is thought advisable to keep the big features quiet until the con tracts have been signed. It may be said, however, that they havu in view some attractions that would seem to be Immense undertakings, but they have bee nassured that the association will have the full support of the merchants. The finance committee, while it has mad* no active canvass, has assurances of at least half of the amount required to make the carnival a complete success. The president was authorized to sign a contract with Mr. Pinkston, who will build the floats for the great mystic parade. This will be without doubt the greatest thing that has ever been seen in the south outside of New Orleans. Mr. Pinkston is an experienced float builder and has been engaged at New Orleans. He promises to give Macon a better shew than has ever been seen outside of that town. The parade of the Mystic feature of the carnival will be made up of twelve pieces and will be entitled ‘‘Peace and War.” Each float will represent a different feature of the war with Spain. The first six floats will be headed by the Demon of War. Then will come other floats representing each one a seuarate feature and complete with al the mechanical devices and ac companiments. such as soldiers, the Rough Riders, the machine guns and the heavy artillery. The burning of Cervera’s fleeet wili be shown in life-like maner and. in fact, the whole thing will be a most wonderful spectacle. Then will come the floats designating peace that follows war. These will be beautifully designed and will be a regular thanksgiving procession, showing the dif ferent trades and business at work once more. All of the floats will be as elabor ate as those which show the features of the war. The procession of the Mystic parade will be more than two miles in length. It w?" be accompanied by innumerable torches and iinz-ts every color and. of every de scription. _ _ j HUTHNANCE & ROUNTREE CLEARING OUT OF SUMMER GOODS.
