Wondering why 'twas he got left,
Ilia mind strays bark to nil nncient dale,
When he, too, swung on the front yard

Me remembers it all now but too well;
Mow oft he was kicked lie cannot tell.
Rut now in print he likes to make fun
tit another young man who lias just
begun.

Yesterday was the annual parade
and pic-nic day of our crack col^pd
fire company, the Vigilants. Up to
the arrival of the Chattahoochee train

gramme. Sleeting at their engine house

the company was inspecetedby the city
officials, Mayorjpro-tem Merrill, Col.

future, wished them nil n pleasant
day and evoning.
The speakers were enthusiastically
cheered. The company then marched
to the merry tuuc of fife aud drum to
Paradise Park where, with their
frieuds, they passu 1 a pleasant day.
The Vigilants, with thoirred shirts
aud black pants, made a splendid ap-
peacancc its the company filed down

a line record iu the past and it will
be us active iu future in protecting
the property of our people from the
ravages of the great destroyer.
A Big Fire;

cultural Club, held Wednesday, a res
olution committing che club in favor
of no fence was passed unanimously.
In other parts of the state where the
law has been tried the result has been

anil settlement within the next few
years.
It is no uncommon sight to sec from j
200 to 1,000 people in Paradise Park, j
any fair day iu winter. This number
is made up largely of visitors, inva-1
lids, ladies und children, who are at- j
traded there by the bright sunlight!
that plays at hide and seek througli i
the sighiug pines.
To breathe the pine laden air is a !
luxury aud while the pines ' cannot
bring back litc, they have given a
longer lease of it to hundreds that
have visited the Park in years past,
aud these same pines, almost in the
heart of the city, ought to perform
the same office for years and years to
coinc.

Johnstown, Pa., June 5,1 p.m.—
Conservative men are of the opinion
that the number of people destroyed
will reach from 12,000 to 15,000.
This view is based upon fragments of
evidence obtained from over 100 cit
izens, carefully selected from as intel
ligent men nnd women as could be
found. They were chosen from as
many occupations as possible,- and
from as many social classes. They
were asked to estimate the per cent-
age ofloss to the total population, to
tell liow many people of their ac
quaintance had disappeared and how
tho gathering of residents on the street
and public places compare with the
snmc in former .time- 0 - Their state
ments of iacts aud estimates were
proved as far as could be, and a calcu
lation shows a fist of 12,000 to 15,000.
It must be remembered that, a very
large proportion of this loss is made
up of children. How strikingly fre
quent is the reference in the death
list to “Mrs. Jones and six children,”
Mrs. Smith and five children.”
In the morgue little ones lie in doz
ens, where adults are in half dozens.
There is and has been much difficulty
in recovering the bodies of children.
Being lighter and smaller they have
often been swept into out of the way
recesses that arc almost inaccessible,
and arc more easily carried away. A
very great proportion of the children
have been swept down the river, and
their bodies driven under overhang
ing hanks, under thickets and in oth
er places where there is only sparce
population, and whero the scureh is
not carried on iu a careful and sys
tematic manner.

niulished. Hail stones as big ns
goose eggs fell in great profusion,

of the storm was southwest to south
east.
Perry, Ga.. Juuc 5.—Tho Wool

sulipieuerd for to-morrow morning nt
8:30 o’clock.
