Stovall has been in fail ing health for a year or two and his many- friends will regset to learn that lie was overcome by heat and nervous prostration last Fri day that many thought for awhile would prove fatal. He had been up at the closing exercises of the closing exercises of the Seminary during the morning about eleven o’clock started home. When the grove in front of Judge J. D Hargrove’s residence, Mrs Har grove, who was sitting upon the front porch saw him stop and sink down by a tree as if exhausted, Fearing that he might need help she ran out to him and found him speecless. She hastily summoned help from the schoolroom near by*. When friends, reached him they thought he was parilyzed. Secur ing a horse and buggy they took him home at once where his good wife and soil, Dr. C. T. Stovall applied restoratives. It was soon found that his trouble was not paralysis but nervous prostration and he was soon resting comforta bly except for a considerable feve r. KILLED. The sad intelligence reached here Wednesday that Mr. James A. Perry had been killed. Upon investigation it was found that he, in company with his little son and a negro man, had started from his home to Cordele, 3 miles distant, witii a load of melon4. The little boy was driving the pair of spirited mules. Mr. Perry opended his umbrella which frightened the mules and they broke to run. Before assist ance could be given they shied from the ruts and the wagon wheell struck a log, throwing the three occupants from the wagon head foremost to the ground. The boy* and negro jumped up quickly but Mr. Perry, did not rise. They tried to help him up but he could not stand and they soon discovered that his neck was broken and help was obtained as quickly as possible and bis body carried home. When his wife realized the awful truth she was frantic with grief. Mr. Perry was a prominent roan of his community and the county for a number of years and leaves a wife and several children to la ment the unfortunate accident which deprived them of husband and father, He was a member of the firm of Smith, Perry* & Co., merchants at Cordele ant place for the ladies to do their Millinery* trading.

A. McElreath Bi? Fire at Ricliwood. Saturday afternoon when our citizens were returning from din ner they were attracted by* a dense black smoke a few miles down the railroad. Many thought that the woods were on fire, but soon a tele gram came and the news spread apidly that the mills of the Par rot Lumber Co, at Ricliwood were burning. This set everybody wild to go, for these mills are pos sibly the largest lumber plant in the South and our people feel a deep interest in them. Many caught the south bound passenger train and went down on it. Oth ers secured their horses and bug gies and drove through while still others walked. Arriving upon the scene it was found that the fire originated in the shaving room of the paining mills and in 6 min utes from the time it caught it burst 100 feet high through the roof of the building. There was no possible chance to put it out and the only plan was to cut it off from the other buildings and ma chinery and confine it. 125 con victs and many freemen, white and black, went to work. The compa ny have very fine fire protection on ordinary occasions, consisting of water tank, pumps and hose. These were all put to work and streams of 'men with buckets fought the fire demon. There were great quantities of kiln-dried and dressed lumber stacked ready for shipment near the planing mills that burned like tinder and the flames leaped rapidly in every direction. The Parrott Lumber Co., have a plant worth at least .$100,000,00 scattered along the railroad for several hundred yards. The saw mills are situated at the extreme ends of the plant and between them, some distance behind, was the plaining mills. Directly be tween the sawmills were the log run, lumber yard and railroad tracks belonging to the company*. By heroic work the fire was cut off from the mills at both ends. But to do this the bold fighters had a hard struggle for several hours, standing in intense heat and suf fering their bodies to become se verely baked and scorched. The total loss is estimated at $17,000.00 with only* $3,600,00 in surance on the property burned. that are going soon Rev. J. C. Parker is conducting a protracted meeting at Unadilla this week.

Schoolhouse Versus Penitentiary, Does education help morals? is a question that has frequently been discussed. It is, in the opin ion of the New Orleans Times Democrat, somewhat surprising, in this age, to find persons reply ing in the negative to this proposi tion, and holding that our schools are having very little effect in re ducing the amount of crime and vice in this country : and they even point to the criminal records in sup- t x>rt of their view and to the large number of crimes committed in Boston and other cities where the school systems are practically perfect and where every one can get a good education. If we ex amine the criminal and police sta tistics, however, as the United States Commissioner of Education Mr. W. T. Harris, has just done, we will find that they make no such showing as pretenc-ded, but quite the, contrary. Theres are, of course, some educated as well as illiterate persons arrested, but the difference in the number of arrests of those two classes shows how great is the effect of the schools in the elimination of crime. The number of prisoneis confined in seventeen states which have com plete statistics on this point—four teen of them Western or middle states—is 110,538.and among these the illiterates in proportion to numbers contribute six times quo ta. The records in the towns show an even greater proportion of crime among the ignorant, and the illiterates for the whole country furnish to each thousand of per sons eight times as many prisoners as those who can read and write. It is plain from these facts that our schools have already greatly reduced the amount of crime, and that when we shall have succeed ed in getting rid of all illiteracy we will still further reduce the number of criminals.

In fact, Stovall & Forbes are doing the Drug business of this town and section, and will continue to do so. And why? Because the people know their medicines are full strength and reliable; fresh and pure,- and have found out that it is as im possible to get cheap er prices any where else, as it is to get money on long loan at 2 per cent. See? Remember we are cutting prices right and left, and now is your time to buy Drugs, Medicines etc. Respectfully, Stovall & Forbes, Wholesale & Retail Druggists. Vienna, Ga. Exciting Run of an Old Squirrel VTho Not Used to Practical Jokes. “In Memphis,” said Charles F. El- mire of Union City, Tenn., to a re porter, “there is a little park called Court square situated in the center of the city. The park keeper told me that there were e. er 500 squir rels that made their nests in the big, shady trees. “They afford boundless amusement to the children and to the weary foot travelers who stop in the park to rest. One day I bought a bag of pea nuts, and while I sat down on one of the seats eating them the squirrels gathered around me like blackbirds would flock to a cornfield immediate ly after planting time. “I concluded to try an experiment. I blew up thp paper bag, tied a string around it about G inches long, and to the other end fastened a ‘goober ’ and threw it on the ground. There was an old bobtailed squirrel—the father of the flock—that tackled it. He picked up the ‘goober’ between his paws and started to open the shell when he discovered that there was a string tied to it. Then he be gan to run, still holding the nut be tween his teeth. “He jumped off about 50 feet and turned his head around to see if the bag and string were still behind. They were. “Well, sir, you should have wit nessed tho actions of that squirrel after ho saw that the bag still pur sued him. Up a tree ho went; down one side and up another, away he went. After ho had chased himself about 10 minutes he stopped ard sort of turned his head around 6low- like to seo if tho bag was still there. It was. Then ho started again, and of all the running I ever saw that squirrel did it. He moved about among the branches and limbs like a streak of lightning. “Finally, out of breath, he stopped again, and the expression he woro on his face seemed to indicate that he was saying to himself: ‘Well, whatever you are, you are not in it now. I guess I've got you.’ But when he turned liis head around and saw that the hag and string were right there he fainted dead away."— Exchange. Bravery of tho “Red Dogi’* of Asia. The quality of courage possessed by hunting dogs of Asia appears in a marked difference of habit from that noticeable in all other carnivorous beasts. Asa rule, each ferocious ani mal has its natural and favorite prey, which may vaiy in different localities, but is in each w*e the easiest and most profitable victim. Tigers, for in stance, are cattle slayers or deer kill ers just as cattle or deer happen to be most abundant in their district. Leopards prey on goats, sheep and, when they can get them, on tame dogs; wolves on sheep and cattle, stoats or rabbits and hares, and wea sels on rats and mice. But, though the jungles which they visit abound in defenseless animals, the wild dog does not limit his attacks to these. Tho packs deliberately pursue and destroy both the black and Himalay an liears and the tigers, affording per haps the only instance in which ono camiverous sj-fs-ies deliterately sets itself to hunt down and destroy an other. From their rarity, the unhab- itated nature of jungles which they haunt and their habit of hunting at night—which a probable suggestion iprkes the basis of the early legends of the demon hunter and “hellequin” at a time when the “red dogs" still remained in Europe—observations of their habits are rare. ^Loudon Spec tator. ' 'v. "X The Formation of Yacht Club*. Yachting first came into existence in the eighteenth century, when a considerable number of clubs were formed in the United Kingdom. The first was the Water club in Ireland. Then in 1810 the English Yacht club appeared, and in 1833 this club be came the celebrated Royal Yacht squadron. In America the New York Yacht club was organized in 1844. From the very first year of its existence re gattas were started, and the contests were so brilliant that they were fully recorded on our side of the Atlantic. In France in 1840 Alphonse Carr and the Comte de Chateauvillard intro duced yachting, hut the yacht clul of France was not formed until 1867. —Paris Figaro. -IFREE COURSE BY MAIL- WITH THE LEAVENWORTH usiness College.

It can’t be sent to Massa chusetts, because it is already there, and there is.no warrant in the super scription. if it bears the name of no 6tate, for sending it out of the state. —Boston Transcript.
