Sad—Ah! How Sad!
Mrs. Ella, wife of Mr. A. W.
Smith, died at their home in this
city, Thursday morning at 11 o’clock.
She had been slightly indisposed and
under the care of a physician for sev
eral days, but nothing serious was
apprehended until Wednesday after
noon, when she was seized with con
vulsions which continued until a
short while before her pure spirit
winged its liight to the realms of
everlasting day. All that the skill of
four of the ablest medical men in the
city, and the kindly offices of neigh
bors, friends and relatives could do,
resorted to to ward off the fell
destroyer, but the grim monster had
marked her for his own, and she has
gone to rest in the arms of Him in
whom her trust was placed. Mrs.
Smith was a daughter of the late Dr.
A. Fogle, of Columbus, and a
sister of Mrs. Uriah B. Ilarrold, of
this city, and was a lady of many
virtues adorned by the graces of a
Christian’* walk and life. An univer
sal favorite, ,
None knew her but to love her.
None named her but to praise.’’
Thrco little ones are bereft of a fond
mother’* tender Jove and protecting
and alas! all are too young to
realize the deep sadness of their
irreparable loss. Three brothers and
sisters, together with a large cir
cle of friends and relatives mingle
their tears of sorrow at this, to
them, dark dispensation of an All-
wise Father. To the sorely stricken
husband, whose heart is overflowed
with grief, the words of man in this
dark hour, are but chaff. None but

cal printer and a newspaper writer on
of the leading journals of the
Sates of Alabama and Texas.

homo in this city, at 8 o’clock Satnr-
day night, at tho advanced age of 74
years. For sixty years as a
of tho Presbyterian church, she has
labored in the Master’s vineyard, and
at the end of a long and useful
life she has heard the voices of her
loved ones gone before, calling from
the other side and has but gone to
meet them and rest under the trees
in a land of bliss. She was bom and
raised in Baldwin county, this state,
married to Mr. John Oliver
in 1825. Her husband died in 1843
and she remained true to his memo
ry and remained a widow. She came

Tho remains were followed to the

Mr. Editor:— Permit
parent to return heartfelt thanks to
you for your spirited editorial in last
Wednesday’s issue, in reference to
the so-called arm clutch. Some few
young people are disposed to imag
ine that you were unnecessarily
and that a more salutary effect
Would havo obtained, had you tem
pered your article with more charity
for the foibles of the young and
thoughtless. I must confess that I
utterly foil to comprehend the force
of their logic. I cannot see that you
said anything which was not essen
tially apropos to the occasion. The
old aphorism “that desperate diseas-
requiro desperate remedies,” is
forcibly illustrated iu its application
this case. Americus is no excep
tion to other cities possessing its full
quota of fast girls.
The most of them will be benefltted
by your warning while a few others
will heed it not, but go on from bad
worse, till the sad denouement of
their fell Is reached. The sequence
inevitable, the proof of which will

memories with the melancholly ex
amples wo have already had. Fond
parents will thank you from the deep
est recesses of their hearts for your
courageous and extremely denuncia
tion of this sinful practice. Jntuta

A Dude Chicken'
Americas has but one specimen of
the genus dude; a chicken owned by
genteman in the city, which went
to roost one night, looking like an or
dinary chick, and next morning ap
peared standing on its legs as erect as
i. This was nearly four months
ago and it still persists in holding its
position. It imitates its brother bi
lled of the dnde persuasion in nearly
everything except that it don’t drink,
swear and smoke cigarettes. It holds
its wings down close to its body and
only needs a swltch-cano under one
of them, an eye-glass, a little round-
top derby and tooth-pick shoes
make the resemblance to the human
specimen complete. This chicken
cannot get its head to the ground,
and has to be fed. His human brother
never eats except the foodbe fumlsh-
ed by the labor of others Now
expect this dude chick will continue
to grow In stature and perpendicular
ity, and when tall enough, walk into
mo fkshlonablo Bsloon and call ‘
julep or a cobbler, Trae he may
it be very intelligible, yet his crow
ing will be as sensible a3 the affected
slang of the other. This wonderful
chicken fs now four months old
healthy, and bids fair to live to
green old age and in this the resemo
bianco will not be broken; for wh-
ever heard of a dead dnde any more
than he ever heard of a dead gray
male.
