DANFORTH BURIED.
Strange Burial at Sea of Brunswick
* Suicide.
Brunswick, Ga., March 15.—Mr.
J. It. B. Danforth was buried in
the sea 1 his morning; and n<> less
than a hundred friends went to
see the ceremony. The steamer
Emmelene left at 9:30 o’clock,
and long before that hour large
crowds had gathered outlie dock
The corpse was carried io the boat
before being sewed in the canvas
shroud. The body was placed id
the cabin and friends of the de¬
ceased allowed to view the same.
After all had looked on the face
of the dead man two sailors placed
the body in the half-sewed shroud
and then closed it, sewing the
same securely and placing a 100 -
pound weight at the feet.
Flowers of the daintiest variety
were placed on the canvas cover
and the steamer then started for
sea. The run was made on g->od
time, and when about twenty
miles out, there was no land in
sight and the engines stopped, the
body was carried to a forward rail
and, as per the dead mans request
marked chapters were read from
Spencer’s Education by Col. D W
Krauss. After this ceromonv
word was given to let, go, and the
body shot downward, disappear¬
ing within a few minutes. By
this time the wind was blowing a
gale and many on board were aw¬
fully seasick. A sister of the de¬
ceased stood cabr.lv by and di¬
rected the funeral.
Miss Danforth said that her
brother’s wish should be regarded
and it was she who persisted in
having the sea burial.
Headache often results from a
disordered condition of the sto¬
mach and constipation of the

lets will correct these disorders
and cure the headache. Sold by

Work Progressing.
Track laying on the South Geor¬
gia extension has been delayed
somewhat by the bad weather of
the last few days, yet satisfactory
progress has been made, The
track is now down for a distance
of three miles south of town, A
large number of ties are already
placed on the right of way and
these are being distributed rapid¬
ly, It will require 70,000 ties to
lay the track to Greenville. Work
on the grade south of Greenville
is being pushed forward rapidly.
It is probable that the road will
be completed to Greenville by
May 1st, although a regulai sched¬
ule may not be put on until a lit¬
tle later.—Free Press.

Mrs. Haigraves, a we<hly lady
of Jasper, suspiciooing that wine
and liquor was being dispensed to
the young society men from a
room in the hotel, armed herself
with hatchet and began to search
for the hidden beverage. Find-
ing quite a number of jugs and
bottles, she smashed them with
her hatchet and bore the frag-
ments to the street as an object
lesson. It is said that the major¬
ity of the people of the town ap¬
plauded her actions.—Madison

A newspaper man was asked to
publish a newspaper article roast-
inga certain citizen. “Certainly”
h 9 said to the caller “what shall
I write?” He was furnished with
an outline of what was wanted,
and wrote an article that was a
scorcher.
“That’s splendid,’’ exclaimed
the man delightedly when.the ar-
cle was read to him, “That’s right
that’ll make his old hair cringle’
“All right,” said the editor; “let
me see what’re your initials?”
“Good heavens,” said the citizen.
“You are not going to sign my
name to that?” “Why not?” ask¬
ed tlie editor. “I wouldn’t have
any one to know I had anything
to do with that for the world; I
can’t afford to get into a row with
my neighbor.” The editor smil¬
ed benevolently and said.
“Why should I get mixed in a
scrap that doesn’t concern me?
Why should jam expect me to as¬
sume blame of publication of
such an article to which you are
afraid to sign your name?”
The man stopped his paper and
went home mad. And such is
life in the editorial chair.—Ex.

whatever. I have used one bottle of it
and the chills cold and grip have all left

Below we reproduce the section
in reference to our
representative, Judge Griggs:
The Heuse has another humorist in
Judge James > 1 . Griggs, of Georgia,
who, while he does not enjoy the
tat.on which baa come to John Allen af
rer many years, has a promising future,
having been a newspaper editor, he is
quite a philosopher and something of a
poet, as the following lines Will testify
_
Although he modestly disclaims
for the lines, concluding a few remarks
in favor of increasing the pay of letter-
carriers to $1 200 he said:
“Here’s health, boys in gray,
A hoping for twelve hundred a year,
All the same, short pay or long pay.
You’ll always be busted, I fear.”
While traveling through his circuit as
solicitor-general, >ir. Griggs once had
occasion to prosecute a Georgia sheriff
for embezzling about $400 of county
funds. The sheriff, relying upon the
strong friendship which had long exist¬
ed between himself and Griggs went to
him, confessed to having taken the mon¬
ey, and begged to be let off. “It’s just
this way Jim,” he said. “I got in a lit¬
tle poker game and needed this money.
Now certainly you’re not a’goin to push
an old friend for that?” The prosecut¬
ing attorney shook his head solemnly and
remarked that it was a very serious case,
and he was obliged to do his duty. The
sheriff was slightly disappointed, but did
not appear to be very unhappy. The case
was called for trial and he appeared
without counsel. The judge asked if he
was represented. He replied he was not.
The court insisted that he should have
counsel anj was about to select a lawyer,
when the sheriff interrupted: ‘‘I won’t
take any mean advantage of the State.
The other side hasn’t got any counsel I
guess I won’t need one.—Leslie's Weekly.
