Negro Succumbs
To Rabbies
News reached the city Saturday
evening that Jule Robertson, a
negro living on Mr. Mell Adkin’s
place near Salem, had gone mad.
He was the man who wa.s bitten
three weeks ago, the morning after
Mr. Willoughby was bittten, and
by possibly by the same dog.
Doctors were immediately sum
moned from Stephens after his
condition was noted, and these
immediately pronounced liis trou
ble as hydrophobia. On Sunday
afternoon Dr. W. /. Faust was
sent for and he rendered the same
report concerning his condition.
Of course everything possible was
done for him, as his condition was
extremely pitiful, and his suffering
brought forth the greatest
sympathy from white and colored
around him. All tendered help
proved futile, though, and he
died Monday morning.—Commerce
News.
The Miserably Happy
Dont you love to meet a mau
that loves to tell good news?
“How beautiful on the moun

bringeth good tidings,”
Were you ever sick for a spell,
and when you got out on the streets
someone would come along and
tell you how bad you looked?
Jot Allen used to tell it that once
when he had an exasperating car
buncle on his neck, a friend—a
dear friend—met him and told him
he had known two men to die from
carbuncles on j ust the spot where
liis was.
You know there are some people
especially some women, who are
never happy unless they are mis
erble. Like the bat’ they can see
better without the light—Gaines
