Mrs. W. G. Hyde gave birth to an infant ou
Friday which lived only twenty minutes.
Browoeville does not seem to be pleased at the
idea of the free delivery postal system which has !
beeu promised by Col. Oats, because it will abol- I
ish the Lively office, and to this there is almost |
universal opposition. Nothing invests a town ,
with so much importance as a postoffice. Lively, ;
which is part of Brownovllle, has this important !
adjunct to civilization, and are well p eased with ) Simla Claus is Coming,
the conveniences it affoida and the officials who j H. A. Hyde is getting in his Christmas goods
control it. A prominent citizen informed this re- ; an( * "’ill have a fiill line of toys, and everything
porter yesterday that there were but two men of ! * n the bakery and confectionery line. He has
influence iu the town who had expressed them
selves in favor of the new departure.
Oirard, on the contrary, having no postofflee
and being isolated from l|oth Columbus and
Browneville, will probably be pleased at the idea
of the free delivery system, as she has nothing to
fii9t received a large lot of plain and fancy can
dies, fruits, nuts, etc., and will sell cheap at
wholesale and retail.

considerable degree of opposition to the project

Installation of Officers.
Browneville boasts of being well grounded in
the principles of temperance and man / of her
worthy gentlemen and ladies are strongly in
favor of prohibitory law’s which shall exclude the
sale of intoxicating liquors from the state. The

The New Weekly Paper.
The new weekly paper caited the Browneville
Investigator made its first appoarance yesterday.
It is ably edited, neatly printed, and full of in
teresting matter. It will be devoted mainly to
the interest of the laboring classes, and to these
appeals strongly for its support. It will be pub
lished every Saturday by J. A. Shaw & Co. at the
low price of fl per annum.
There is Still Life.
The long, hot summer has taken its departure,
though it died slowly and hard, but the ten
weeks drouth continues despite several ineffec
tual attempts at rain. Still, while vegetation has
greatly suffered, and the dust has had a long
reign, the water-courses have not dried up,
nor the wells become so exhausted as
in some former seasons. After all our
Browneville friends have not suffered as
other similar communities have done, but seem
to be advancing slowly but surely in true pro
gress. Most of the merchants are apparently
doing a thrifty business, and here and there new
houses are springing up, showing that develop
ment in the suburbs has not yet reached its lim
its. In mental and moral, as well us in material,
progress, the watchword is “Upward and on
ward.’’ A better town, a better class of citizens,
a higher degree of intellectual and moral culture,
which was the desire of the past, has gradually
grown to fruition, and the citizens all are justly
proud of this advance all along the line. There
is still room for improvement in all these impor
tant respects, but no doubt the future is full of
Robert W. MacDouell, has been received at this
office. It is published in the Spanish language,
and is the organ of the mission of the M. E.
Church, South, at that place, which is in charge
of Rev. Robert W. MacDonell. Rev. Mr Mac*
Donell is a son of Rev. Geo. G. N. MacDonell, of
St. Luke church of thiscity, and a brother of A.
H. MacDonell, Esq., of Savannah, whose mar
riage to Miss Lillian B. Russell, of Augusta, was
chronicled in our issue of Friday. He is a Geor
gia boy, who gave up home, friends and the al
lurements of life in his native state to be a volun
tary exile among a semi-barbaric people, in order
that they might have the benefits of the ever
lasting gospel. He has denied himself the rich,
earthly fruits of this life that he might help to
scatter the leaves that grow for the healing of
the nations.
As we stated, the paper is published in Span
ish, as it is spoken in Mexico, and so far as we
can see the editorials, miscellany and locals are (
well written, well chosen and bright. Wo have |
only glanced over the paper in a cursory way, be- j
iiig pressed for time, but Rev. Robert W. Mac- |
Donell’s name being attached as editor is a suffi
cient guarantee that the paper is a good one.

Fire at Uhipley.
Fire broke out in Mr. T. J. Hunt’s warehouse,
at Chipley, Friday night about 8 o’clock, and but
for its timely discovery it would doubtless have
caused a destructive conflagration. As it was,
only eleven bales of cotton were badly damaged,
ten of which belonged to Averett & Laytleld.
The loss is fully covered by insurance. The
origin of the fire is unknown.

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT

section IIohs.
Birmingham Ag».
Just about dark last night nn accident !
occurred on the Pratt Mines railway which
resulted in the death of two white nmn. !
It. appears that by a mistake some freight !
ears were cut loose from n train and ran]
down the grade until they bumped against
five other cars loaded with stone, ut the
first trestle this side of Laura Slope. A \
short distance down the loaded cars, run- j
ning at a high rate of speed, ctinic upon
a hand ear in which were three white men
and eight darkies. One of the men and the 1
negroes jumped off, but Mr. John Parsons, ;
the section boss, in trying to get his bro
ther off, a deaf mute, employed as a section •
hand, lost his life, and also his brother,
M it Parsons, The eider brother was lit* '
t: rally entail to pieces, and the younger, |
the (leaf mute, had hi* head crushed and j
was killed instantly. No blame attaches j
to any one, as the whole affair was an aeei- ■
dent which could not be nveitod.
Both the parties are single men. and ;

and, notwithstanding my repeated order
for advance, they hung back. Stepping
Home distance in front of them, into a nar

“ ‘Follow me, men! Don’t you see there

“He never posted a loiter without calcu

Sunday to reach its place of destination,

puritanical observance. Unnumbered
times have I known him to receiveiinpor-
lant letters so late on Saturday night that
he would not brealf his fixed resolution
never to use his eyes, which were very
delicate, by artificial light; he would
carry the letters in his pocket till Monday
morning, then rise with the sun and read
them.
“In the winter of ’(11 ’02, while Jack
sons forces were at Winchester, he sent a
brigade to destroy the canal leading to
Washington. The expedition proved a
failure, and he attributed it in some meas
ure to the fact that Sunday had been need
lessly trespassed upon. So when a second
expedition was planned he determined
there should bo no Sunday breaking con
nected with it that he could prevent. The
advance wiin to he made early on Monday
morning. On Saturday he ordered my
husband (Col. Preston, at that time on his
stair), to sec that the necessary powder
was in readiness. The quartermaster could
not find a sufficient quantity in Winches
ter on Saturday, but during Sunday it. was
procured. On Sunday evening the fact in
some way got to Jackson’s ears. At an
early hour on Monday be dispatched an
officer to Shepberdstown for other pow
der, which was brought. Then summon
ing Colonel Preston, he said very decis
ively:
“ ‘Colonel, 1 desire that you will see that
the powder which is used for the expedi
tion is not the powder that was procured
on Sunday.’ ”

Albany Special.
There is a little circle of very intimate
friends of the president, Secretary Man
ning and Colonel Lamoat, who were great
ly amused at the strife among the Wash-,
ington correspondents a fortnight ago to I
account for Mrs. Cleveland’s refusal to ac- j
company her husband to Richmond.
Among all the guesses not one was correct. '
The fact is that Mrs. Cleveland will remain i
under her mother’s cure all the winter,and 1
she is under that care to-day. It was not
deemed advisable for her to make the long
journey over not the best railroad in the i
country, and then hack again on tiie same
day at the time of the Richmond trip. A
trip to New York, with a chance to rest
over night in the city, would not, lie con
sidered unwise, because of the smoothness
of the railroad riding, and t he president’s
wife can make the journey during the win
ter. Rut it is understood that in the main
she is to remain quietly at home during
the winter. There has only been a neces
sity for the least solicitude about her during
the past three months, and this will not
be sustained, it is thought, longer than the 1
middle of April.

these homeless men have shown a fancy

j men make good husbands. Few women
' who have to slave at manual labor can
lever hope to he better treated than are
1 those who marry Chinamen. Those singu-

j nothing on them .elves, aud so idolize any
j woman who will condescend to mate with
1 them that they find nothing too good for
: them—dresses, furniture, money and love-
I like treatment are fairly h apod upon
I these women. A woman who would mar-

tion makes her a queen in the eyes of her
I former companions. Consequently, Chi-
! namen’s wives mul iply in number.

Mm 1 ni Iter Skies.
Home years it makes very little differ
ence what Htars are in tho sky in Novem
ber, or whether there are any stars at all.
This year, however, the month bids fair to
belie its old reputation of
“No sun, no moon.
No stars, no anything;
November.’’
Fow two days, at, least, the sun has been
shining like October, the new moon lins
made the early evening brilliant, and the
stars have twinkled as brightly as if it
were December.
The sun doesn’t shine as much in No
vember 11s in most other months, no mat
ter bow clear the skies may be. Tiie sun
does not get up now until 6:30, and sets be
fore 5 o’clock in the afternoon. On the
30th he rises at 7:0-1 and sets at 1:34, making
a day just nine hours long.
The moon was new last Wednesday, but
had nn chance to show herself until Sun
day night, when her crescent was beyond
the slender stage. The first quarter comes
to-morrow about noon. Khe will he full at
1 o’clock of the 11th, will pass the third
quarter in the afternoon of the 18t.h, and
become new again on the 25th, Thanks
giving Day. The first half of the month,
therefore, will have pretty light evenings,
even though the clouds should return, hut
the latter half may have some very dark
nights.
The planets are not a show to any great
extent, unless, indeed, one rises very early
in the morning. Mars has grown small.
Jupiter is too near the sun for convenient
observation. Venus is on the sun’s wrong
side. As for the rest, they are practically
invisible, anyhow, except through a tel
escope.
Tiie fixed stars will do their best to make
up for the absence of the planets. The
summer constellations are now clean out
of sight, and the eastern sky is flashing
with the torchlights, so to say, of the com
ing procession. Already the Pleiades are
seen soon after sunset, and red Aldeharan
is ubove the horizon at 7 o’clock. Later in
the evening appears great Orion, with his
attendant satellifes, Castor and Pollux and
Procyon. Vega is in the northwest, and
Capelin in the northeast. The Milky Way
is swinging down below the zenith. In the
zodiac Taurus is now of course the most
prominent sign, hut Gemini, Aries, Pisces,
Aquarius and Cuprieornus are all visible.
.Soon great Sirius will appearand rule the
night when the moon is gone.

Me was the son of a worthy Chicagoan, ,
and he had just returned from college. •
The father was a brusque, matter oFfact i
man, who had no liking for anything du- '
dish, and he noticed with sorrow that hit*
son returned with bangs and various other
insignia of dudedom. The old gentleman
surveyed him erilieally when he appeared
in the office, and then blurted out:
| “Young man, you look like a fool.”
Just at that moment, and before the ,
■ young man had time to make a fitting re
ply, a friend walked in :
‘‘ Why, hello George, have you rcturn-
i ed?” he asked. “ Dear me, how much you
I resemble your father.”
