~ In another column appear* the ap
plication for a charter of the "Jack**
aonvillo High School,” ami a reading
of the article will give the plan. We
think it is a good move, and evinces
great enterprise in that community.
Jacksonville is located in a fine ag
gricultural section; it is very healthy,
undis as good a place as any for a
high school. A place is just what
her peoplo is amind to make it, and
if this school enterpriso is successfully
carried out (and from an acquaintance
with the men who are directing it
we believe it will,) it places Jack
sonville head and shoulder aboy*
any other section of Marion county.
All success to the enterprise.

BOLLIX JEFFERSON,
DEATH OF MESSRS. COX AND
THOMPSON.
The Columbus Times of last Sat
urday contains the following sad
news:
“The hearts of many of our citi
zens were made sad by the announce
ment of tbe death of Mr. Eugene A.
Thompson, which occurred in this
city yesterday morning at 3 o'clock,
• He was sick of pneumonia only five
days. Mr. Thompson was formerly
of Chattahoochee county, and came
to tins city in 1873. He was a warm
friend and a genial companion, and
much esteemed by those who came
to know him well.
“At 6 o’clock yesterday evening,
Mr. Wm. Cox, of Marion county, died
in this city. He Came here about
four weeks ago and was shortly after
wards taken sick of pneumonia. His
(laughter and his son-in-law, Dr. T.
B Miller, attended bis bedside dur
ing his illness. His remains will be
taken to Pineville to-day for burial.
“Both of these deaths occurred m
the same building. Mr. Cox was the
uncle of both Mr. L. I. Harvey ad
Mr. Eugene A, Thompson. When
Mr. Cox was taken sick. Mr. Thomp
son volunteered his services to assist
Mr. Harvey in nursing him. It was
while discharging this duty to a
kinsman that he fell a victim to the
same disease. Mr. Harvey was most
untiring in his attention to both of
them, and he has the sympathy of
this entire community in the loss of
his two relations.”

SOMETHING GOOD.
Is what you may expect when you
go to the Big Bonanza bar and res
taurant, in Americus, We know from
experience.
Sunday night between the hours
of seven and eight o’clock the
steam mill of Hugo Riche er, at
Andersonville, was discovered to be
on fire, and before any assistance
could arrive the entire building was
consumed. This is a severe loss and
must fall heavy on this energetic and
good citizen. Must have been the
work of an incendiary as there was
no fire about tbs mill on Sunday.
MULES AND HORSES.
I have arrived home from Ken
tucky and have a lot of good broke
mules and some good buggy horses
which I offer to trade at reasonable
prices; call and see me at iny stables
Mi Americas, on Lamar Street, before
buying. Very Respectfully.

COMMUNICATION.
Liberty,Marion County, Oa. 1
March 12tb, 1881. j
DearArgUß:—Since the first trans
gression by the primogenitor of the
tinman family, the unalterable decres
has gone forth, “though shall surely
die.” Decay is, therefire, the order
of living nature. The monarch, with
bis absolute earthly power, surround
ed with an immense retinue of will
ing subjects to do his bidding, can
not evads or nullify this decree. Ha
milca, the Cartbagcnian general, with
bis millions of treasure and brave
soldiers, was unable to bribo or turn
the “pale horse,’’ but like the poor
peasant was made to yield to the de
cree of “dust to dust.” Man may
possess the reputed gold ot Ophir,
the diamonds of Goiconda, the topaz
of Ethiopia, the Onyx and Saphire of
earth, yet he is unable to avert the
decree, or pass this never sleeping
sentinel. Deeds may and do live
after the duet hath mingled with, its
dust. No love, no hatred or desire,
can change tbe decree. We may
live emulous lives, we may do deeds
to which the fond Christian parent
may point his child, but we too most
obey this solemn decree to try the
realities of an unknowr, world. We
may have ties of affection whic£ bind
us to earth, but thesß Jtpo naurt and
will bff broken asunder in answer to
the mandates of “dust to dust.” We'
may have the wisdom of sages and
speak with tongues, but the sequel
is “ob, death where is thy sting;
grave where is thy victory?” Hence
neiher powers nor principalities,
wealth, wisdom, or affection are able
to satisfy the demands of divine jus
tice.
These reminisc. nsos may be ex
tended and are the result of our sad
bereavement in the death of Miss
Lou Wadsworth, who but a short
time since was called to fulfill the
inevitable decree of “dust to dust,”
and whose obituary has been written
oat and read by many friends. Asa
daughter,she was ever dutiful, faith
ful aud attentive to parental wants,
and we tender the doting, yet be
reaved ones our heart felt sympathy
and condolence; as a sister, she was
ali that the word imports—kind, at
tentive and consoling] under the try
ing vicissitudes of life, and we say to
them that while their irreparable loss
is her gaiu, we do sincerely tender to
them our sympathy, imploring them
to emulate her example of Christian
virtue and forbearance; as a member
of the church, she lived strictly up
to all of its requirements as an exem
plary member and devoted Christian,
and while she will no more answer to
its roll call, her angel spirit, sustain
ed and cheered by an exemplary life
of deeds ol virtue and devotion, will
hover over that institution which she
so much loved while in life; as a pu.
pil, she was ever faithful and prompt
almost to a fault. Her desire seem
ed to be to render the arduous and try
ing duties ot her teacher pleasant and
agreeable, nence we say may her
dust rest in quiet repose awaiting the
Master’s call; as a friend and mem
ber of society, she was true, constant,
confidante and confiding, being above
treachery, she spurned the gossimer
tongue of the quid nunc. She is
dead, yet she liv. th. She now lives
and will loDg live in the hearts and
memories of a host of surviving
friends. Though cut down in tbe
bloom of life, her sweet fragrance
will live to permeate the memories of
friends, reminding them that it is not
all of life to live. Shall we weep?
With her loved ones we shed the
tear of sorrow, but these tears will
intermingle with the tears of rejoic
ing in tbe evidences of the stability
of her faith.
The writer of this imperfect notice
offers it as a faint memorial of the
many virtues of her whom he bo
much respected. Then we j fare
well daughter, farewell sister, fare
well loved one, for time must a nonage
the wounds of our grief before those
who loved her most nd knew he

AugiißU Chronicle: We learn that
cn Smn-dsy morning last Mrs, John
Jones, living some eight milt* west of
Augusta, having occasion to come to
the city, left her youngest child,- aged
about two years, in the care of a neigh
bor. After the mother left, it appears
the child eluded the vigilance, of the
person in whose care it was placed, and
wandrred off in the woods. As soon as
missed, search was immediately insti
tuted,- but all efforts to find it were
unavailing until Sunday morning, when
it Was found some distance from home |
in a small creek in a sitting position,
with its bead resting on the bank of the
creek, dead. It is supposed the little
thing died of exhaustion and exposure.
The Czar of Russia was assassi

to tbe Czar, who alighted, and while
standing, a second bomb exp’oded at
his feet, breaking both legs above

his body. T le died in four and a half
hours. His brother escaped nnhfirt.

many wounded. The assassins 7 ere
