Mr. Charles (Herder, an old citizen of Macon, died this morning at 9 o’clock in hi» room over the Fair store on Mulberry’ street, of 'Bright’s Disease. Mr. Herbts -was seventy years of age at the time of his death. He had been sick for some time and his death was not un expected. Mr. Herbst was seventy years of age past thirty years. He came here from Kentucky just after the war and has been engaged in many public enterprises. He was for a number of years in charge of the library, and was its -first librarian and made a most efficient officer, and it was under his management that the library began to build up. He was also organizer of the Ocmulge-e Boat Club and was for a long time its president. Mr. Herbst held .many impor tant positions i nthe city and was highly thought of by the people. During the war he fought gallantly in the Confederate ranks and when Memorial Day was observed in this city he always took a prominent part in -the decorations, lie was an unreconstructed rebel, as he termed himself and was always in the front rank when anything was to be done in honor of the Confederate dead. Before coming to Macon Mr. Herbst was conencted with the (Louisville press along with George D. Prentice and Walter N. Haldeman. For the past few years Mr. Herbst ‘has been in failing health and sev eral weeks ago he was taken to his bed. He will be buried .by the Confederate Veterans Association in Rose Hill ceme tery. The funeral will -be held 'tomorrow, b-it the exact time has not ‘been set. The news of Mr. Herbst’s death wil he learned with sorrow throughout the city.

WILL PLAY COLUMBUS. The Macon Football Team to Make a Great Effort. Th* Macon football team will play the team from Columbus in a* few days. The boys will get down to practice next week and will be in good shape in time for the game. It will be remembered that in the last game with Columbus the score was a tie. The game was played here during the Carnival and in 1897 in Columbus the score was 0-0. The Macon boys say that they can de feat the Columbus team and will make the effort in a. few more days. It is also probable that another game will be played in Jacksonville before the season is over. It is understood that Jacksonville wants another game with Macon and is willing to pay the Macon -boys to come to their town. *‘Jim Hutch” Is Dead. His nanao was James G. Hutchins, but all the old printers in the country know him as “Jim Hutch,” and the office in which ho worked for 40 years knew him as the “Skipper..” He made up the paper In the mornings. When the rush hour camo and there were but few minutes to elapse before the last page went d wn and the air was sulphurous, ‘‘Jim Hutch” was placid and sang merrily and smiled. When the big fire occurred in the town ‘Jim Hutch,” Tom Sullivan and Jim Snow were working at the case. They staid until the piaster fell from the ceiling and, hot and blistering, “pied their sticks.” The next day they went with the editor to an attic and helped him get out the first newspaper after the great fire. It was a typographical curiosity and not much larger than a sheet of letter paper, but it was the only Une in the town that day. They continued work in the attic until the newspaper resumed its former size, and in larger quarters, and the editor, Mr. Medill, said one day: ‘‘Tom Sullivan, you be foreman. Jim Hutch, you be night foreman, Jim Snow, you take the ‘ad’ case. And each of you hold your job as long as I am editor and as long as you live, for if I die first I shall arrange to have you stay.” ‘‘Jim Hutch” is the first to go. Mr. Medill is still editor of the Chicago Trib une. Tom Sullivan is foreman. Jim Snow has the “ad” cases. —New York Sun.
