Sudden Death.
Mr. -Jacob Boro, who was taken
suddenly ill with an attack oi appo-
plexy about noon Thursday, died
about i o’clock Friday morning. It
was^apparent from the first that he
could not live, but his illness was of
such short duration thafhis family was
totally unprepared for it. Mr. Boro
was in his usual good health Thunday
morning and waa seen about half past
ten o’clock laughing and joking with
hit triends ov the streets. Shortly af*
terward ne was stricken down. A
carriage was procured and he waa
taken to his home in an unconscious
condition. Dr. McIntosh was sent
for, and, seeing the crtical condition
of his patient, at once brought into
nse all his medical skill to save the
man’s life, bat it was of no use. He
was beyond human aid, and as stated
above/ passed away about midnight.
Mr, Boro, “Take,” as he was familiar
ly called, was fhe very picture of
health, and no one dreamed for a mo*
meat that his end was so near. He
moved to Thomasville about a year
ago iron Bainbridge, since which time
he has been running a boarding house
here. He was oi a genial disposition
and enjoyed the acquaintance
and friendship ot nearly every
citizen oi the place. He was fifty-seven
years old, and leaves a wife and seven
children to mourn his death. To
these.we extend our sympathy. The
remains were taken to Bainbridge

by the family of the decased.

The Brunswick Times of yesterday
gives a graphic description of the
storm in and around that city
Thursday. The storm lashed
city and the shipping with the fray
of a hurricane-
Speaking of how the Thomasville
party reached St, Simons, the paper
lys:
The Pope Catiin left Brunswick
about 2 o’clock with part of the
Thomaaviile excursion, numbering
about 125, and after a rough experi
ence across fit. Simons sound, it was
found impossible to land at the Ocean
pier, aa the high seas were then
breaking over it. She pat in for St.
Simona mill, and-landed her passen
gers, who were carried to St. Simons
Hofei in carriages. The Catiin did
not attempt to make the run baek,
and it is believed is suf&nentiy pro*
tec ted from any serious harm.
This additional reference is made
the party from this place:
Clever Tom Bottom’s excursion
train came yesterday afternoon on the
Brunswick and Western Railway at
2:30 o'clock with about 150 of Thom
asville’t best people, who have come
to enjoy a week at the peerless St.
Simon.
About half of the party left imme
diately on the Pope Catiin for the
Island, and, though they had a taste
of the roughest sea we have had for
some time, they are doubtless now
under the care of the Prince of Hosts
Route Agent Kuder, ot ttte South
ern Express Company, informed us
last night that the express business
was so heavy that the regular
express trains could not pull the can
and that commencing with to-day he
would put a messenger on Ho. 18, the
freight leaving here early in tbe
morning. Last night's passenger
train for Savannah carried five car
loads of peon. One of these came
from Whigham, one from Cairo, one
loaded here, one at Boston and one at
Dixie.

crates which they will be glad to sup
ply to all in need of them.
General Freight Agent Papy of
the S. F. & W. Ry., returned from
over the Albany division yesterday.
His information ia that the melon
crop has not been seriously hurt by
the storm*
The party had to bo taken from
tbe Mills to the hotel in carriages, as
the sea was too rough for the Pope
Catiin to land at Ocean Pier.
The daily melon bulletin complied
and posted by the Savannah, Florida
and Western Railroad, in the ticko!
office at the depot, shows that 9$ car
loads of melons were shipped on
Thursday, the 15lh, while only 1)0
were-shipped on the same date last
pear. The total number of cars
shipped np to that date was 254,
against 427 for the same date last
pear. It will be seen that shipments
so far this year are considerably be
hind those of last year.
Among others registering at the
Stuart yesterday, were Messrs. J. E.
McGriff, Tallahassee; Miss Reid, Au
cilia, Fla,; Junius W. Young, Win
ston, N. C.; W. E. Estes, C. P. R.;

Rawls, Savannah; F. J. Malone, Chat

Lee Brown, the well known drum*
mer for the Savannah Grocery Com
pany, had quite a rough experience

to swim out. The water was very
high.
It is said that tbe Boston and Al
bany railroad is to badly washed that

next week than usual? They gener
ally do, daring court week.
The girl that plays tbe flute is an in
novation. She came to tbe front in
the commencement orchestra tbit year
and was an instantaoeons success.
Girls are at home at tbe piano and
graceful with tbe violin. They have
done well even with the cornet and
base drum—but tbe girl with tbe flat*
is something new in melody.
And yet th$re is no reason why the
gtri and the flute should have been
apart so long. The soft velvet lips ot
the mountain beauty and the rare
melting notes of the flute are yokefel
lows, pure and simple. Why shonld
the flute be monopolized by man,
when the brochure seems shaped for
something soft and tender like the
riant, rosy mouth of the sweet girl
graduate?—Savannah Press.
Thomas A. Edison, the inventor,
says that no peison can be brought in
close connection with the mysteries of

convince-' that behind all is a supreme
intelligence.
Mothers will not forget that they
can check their babies at the World's
Fair just as they could have their
umbrellas or bundles checked. Great
place, that!
Eulalie should come down here
and test the qualities of the South
Georgia watermelon before return
ing to Spain. That would be really
democratic.
The Mississippi river is on another
tear. Yesterday the water flowed
over the levee in iront of New Or
leans in three places.
The South took first houor at West
Point this year. 'The cadet was from
North Carolina. It. is a hard matter
to down a Tar Heel.
White—“How do you suppose
Eve managed to dress herself without
a mirror?” Greene—“The devil only
knows.”—Brooklyn Life.
General election took place in Ger
many Thursday. It is doubtful if the
emperor will have a majority in favor
ot his army bill.
Thursday was German day at the
World’s fair. The vast grounds were
thronged with that hardy race from
Europe and this country.
The melon and pear crops of this
section have not been benefitted by
the heavy rains and accompanying
winds.
Tbe state has closed, and the de*
(ense in the Lizzie Borden case is
