Cheney was dead. The call was sudden and unexpected, for on Wednesday afternoon he was able to be up and about, and sat for some time on tbe porch. Mr. Cheney had been in feeble health for along time, and bad travelled to some extent, and visited health resorts, but in spite of it all, he steadily declined. On Wed nesday night he went to bed in.anotber apartment from the one he usually oc cupied and at twelve o’clock Mrs. Clie- ney was in tlie room, and h© se©med to be resting very well. She did. not visit the room again until five o’clockThuis- day morning when she found him cold in the arms of death. Mr. Cheney was one of the best busi ness men of oar city, and for years had been the faithful and efficient agent of the Athens MTg Co. These works un der hia management were very popular aud prosperous. Some time ago, ol account of ill health, we suppose, he re signed his postion as agent of the fac tory. He was a most kind and humane mac and distributed charities and relief tc many among the needy. We are in formed on reliable authority that his benefactions have been known to swell up to large sums ol money. Mr. Cheney was a native of Chattoo ga county, but has lived in Athens fur several years, and by his uniform cour tesy and gentlemanly bearing won tbe good will of all who knew him. He was about 35 years of age, and leaves & stricken wife and four children to mourn his early death.

Gleland Kinloch Nelson, D.D., Bull op of Georgia, haa evoked consid eraole comment. Here it is: “So while some very important priv ileges and customs, and such as the communion of women, the chanting ol the psalter, the nse of distinctive vest ments, rests rather upon tradition than upon any act of synod or council, there are other usages not so peremptory but yet deserving our attention, and which the reverent mind will be disposed to conserve. “To give one of these specific author ity,! herewith adopt this for the diocese of Georgia, thus relieving the clergy ol individual rulings, that, according tc ancient and continuous custom, nv marriages be celebrated in advent or from septuagesima before easier, and that burials be cot attended on Sun day.” / utterance will be criticised, and one impudent word may lead to his death. Generrd Weaver's course during the war made him extremely obnoxious to the people, and his hitter language about his accusers has created intense excitement. He states that he will burl defiance in the face of his enemies. The threat has been openly m i le that he will be killed if he uses any insulting language, but the third partv men from *11 "over the country, including many confederate soldiers,* are arming and preparing to go to Pulaski, swearing that they will protect him in speaking and defend him against an assault.

Cary, Fish Commissioner of the State of Georgia, is now in this city. Dr. Cary, however, is not at tnis time particularly on the fish business, but as general solicitor of the Georgia State Fair, is working up an interest in said fair, which will open in Macon on the 25th day of this month and close on the 4th day of November. The doctor states that the fair will be the most in teresting and instructive of any ever held in the state. There will be ten county exhibits, showing the superb and varied exhibits of the products of the state. There will be one exhibit, and that very instructive, never before seen at any fair in Georgia. A large dairy will be on the ground, and the whole process of butter and cheese making will be daily sbown by experts. Dr. Cary is superintendent of the fancy or needle work department, and is very anxious to have the ladies of Athens and vicinity make exhibits in this department. A one-cent-a-mile rate has been secured on all the rail roads leading to Macon during the fair, and ample ariangemeu?* will be made to take care of the vast crowds that will be in attendance. Any one desiring premium list will have them sent by wiitiDg to Dr. H. H Cary, LaGronge, Ga. It may be added that the experiment tation cf the State of Georgia, is now daily making cheese tf an cnce’.lect quality; so much so that the merchants of Griffin buy every pennd-as fast as v can possibly be m-de at wholesale prices. KANSAS EOlTERS. A Convention in Toceka to Break Up the Fusionista- Topeka, Oct. 7. — The anti-fusion straight-out bolting Democrats of Kan sas have met here in state convention. The convention has been anticipated with joy by the Republicans and cor responding misgivings by the pcpuMst and fusion Democrats, for upon its ac tion it is generally conceded the fate of the fusion ticket depiends. September 15 last the bolters attempted to hold e convention, but the attendance was very small, and this convention was then called. The bolters have been read out of the party in their own counties. The call for the convention protests against the surrender of the Democratic organization to the People's party. The regular Democratic state com mittee met here Thursday and threw a bombshell into the bolters’ camp by pro ducing correspondence showing that the Republicans were aiding and abetting the straight-outs, and that the Republi . _ ■ - - Ax - - V n.l krv T—1 . 11 — A T1C IT WtfTt There are those who believe that Gen eral Weaver may use such temperate language as to forestall any trouble, even the tension and the strong feeling would in all likelihood lead to trouble. Every effort is being made by the state Democratic committee to secure a quiet hearing for "Weaver and prevent an out break, but late advices say that no argu ment will avail and that if Weaver ut ters one imprudent word he will be killed, and that all conservative people in Pulaski cannot prevent it. They urge that only safety lies in successfully urg ing Weaver not to fill his appointment. The state Democratic committees are very much disturbed over the situation. A CHICAGO MILLIONAIRE Who Died In a Whisky Cure Establish ment in That City. Chicago, Oct. 7.—A young man by the name of Moans died in a whisky- cure in this city.

Della Owen was shot and instantly killed on the side-walk in front of the Joplin Club Theater. The shot was fired by W. D. McBride, and was intended for John Manning, his rival for the favors of Miss Annie McKee. McBride, Manning and Miss McKee live at Belleville, six miles west of Jop lin. Manning had accompanied MisS McKee to the theater. McBride, in a jealous frenzy, armed himself with a revolver and awaited the close of the performance to wreak vengeance on his successful rived. Miss MeKee, escorted by Manning, had reached the main en trance when McBride suddenly seized the lady and so ring: “Come with me," point-: 1 his revolver at Manning, utter ing a profane threat. Manning jr, iped int - the crowd that thronged the side walk. and McBride fired. The ball cat Manning's coat on the right shoulder, and passed entirely through Miss Owen's head. Foliceman* Stout wrenched the pistol from MeBude's hand and took him to the c y prison.

Smith was taken into custody, but as the south-bound ex press left Dunsmuer at 6 o'clock Friday night about fifteen men boarded it with a rope and had everything ready for quick work, and as soon as the train slackened speed at Castella they jumped off and rushed to the spot where the deputy sheriff of Shasta county stood with a guard and Smith, the murderer, ready to board the train and take the prisoner to Redding. With drawn pistols a party forced the deputy sheriff and guard to stand aside, and while some of the party kept the officers covered the others took Smith a short distance away and hanged him to an oak tree. Within ten minutes after the train had halted Smith was a dead man. He said: “Gentlemen, 1 deserve it. I did wrong." Before nightfall the avengers were back in their homes. Mrs. Smith died at 7:30 o'clock. A PATENT MEDICINE CASE. The Kins’* Koval Gcrmateur Company Sues a Druggist for Damage*. Atlanta, Oct. 6.—A petition has been West Chicago Street Railway shops.

Inventors are proverbially the sport of fortune. A poor fellow of this class named Jobson was once a boarder in a house on Washington place, New York. He bad invented a lot of clever things which were of no use to anybody, and he was very hard up. The landlady was a fciudiy soul and she did not press him for a long time, but at last his debt was so large and his hope of paying it so small that he vanished from the house. Two months later, in the middle of win ter, the man reappeared and begged shelter for the night. In nis old room he committed suicide.
