On Monday afternoon of last week our town marshal received a telegram from Fenn instructing him to arrest three negro boys that were coming this way, search them for money and hold them. The boys soon came along and were locked up. Tuesday morning Mr. Thos. Turlington came up to investigate these boys and told of a daring deed that had been com mitted near Fenn the afternoon be fore. j)/r. R. L. Paschal, a watermelon buyer at Cordele, had some busi ness at Fenn and decided to walk up the railroad XVlien near the water tank about a mile below Fenn a shower of rain came up and he stepped off the railroad and sought shelter under a tree XV’hile stand ing there three negro boys came along. XVhen opposite him two of them turned and went directly toward him and when in a few feet of him one of them pulled a pistol and pointing it at him demanded, “Your money or your blood!” Mr. Paschal replied that he had no money, so they would have to take blood and grabbing a limb struck the negro's arm that held The returns of taxable property in the various counties show a very heavy depreciation of values. Nearly every county shows a con siderable decrease and the whole makes a considerable difference; so much so that the rate of taxa tion levied by the last session of the legislature will not be sufficient to pay tile expenses of the state and a higher rate will have to be taxed. The returns for Dooly have not not been sent in yet but it is estimated that our property values will be at least a half mil lion dollars lower this year than last year If this be true the tax rate for the county may have to be increased correspondingly. And this brings us to speak of the law authorizing a board of tax assessors that was tried only one year and then abolished by the legislature. The Progress plead for such a law a long time before it was passed by the legis lature. It was a good law and we begged the people to try it a year or two longer. But they conceived an idea tint it was odious and had it almost unanimously repealed. IPe thought then it was wrong to repeal it; we think so yet. And now the poor people must pay- for its repeal with an increased tax rate. And so we truly, “Go buy wild >m.” Georgia’s Normal and Indus trial School. Our Girls’ Normal and Indus trial school at Milledgeville though only two years old is the pride of the State. Here our girls may re ceive an education that will ben efit her, not only as a society but terfly, but in the home, kitchen, sick-room and parlor and may learn any of the trades that are to be filled by girls and thereby gain a livelihood for themselves. Over four hundred girls took advantage of these opportunities last term and many new ones are daily en listing for the next term. If a girl simply want6 a college educa tion she can get it here to as good advantage as anywhere. Not only as good but better; for they are taught in addition to literature, dress-making, cooking and house keeping. If a girl wants to learn a trade whereby she may gain a living she may learn teaching, dress-making, telegraphy or ste nography. And the beauty of the whole is that it is.a school for poor girls. They all wear the same uniform, live alike and the difference be tween a millionaire’s daughter and the poorest girl there could not be told. The whole expense for a sciiolustic year is $100,00 where they board in the dormitory and $135.00 where they board in pri vate families. This includes the incidental fee of $10.00, fu«.l, lights and washing and all Georgia girls that are healthy and over fourteen years of age are admissible if they Judge U. V.

Stovall & Forbes Wo Trouble About Money The fear has been repeatedly expressed lately by the leading statesmen, financiers, cotton fac tors and newspapers over the en tire cotton belt that there would possibly be trouble about getting money with which to move the cot ton crop, because there was no money in Southern banks and the Northern banks had closed down and would not loan any. XX'e are glad to state that this is not true in Georgia. Our banks have plenty of money to move the crop with. Our local bank, the Bank of Vienna, auticipates no trouble about furnishing all the money necessary here and advices from other points are to the same effect. Savannah banks say, ship the cotton along and there will be no trouble about the money to pay for it. It the mills will only give the orders in the Uaited States or England— and pay for the cotton when it reaches them there will be no trouble at this end of the line— unless the situation changes. This is good news to our section Bring your oottoa to Vienna and you will not only receive the money for-it promptly but the very high est market price. Wholesale and Retail DRUGGISTS.

Maggie Sumerford, eldest daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Sumer ford, died in Sumter county July 30th 1893 of malignant malarial fever at the age of 14 years, 9 months and 3 days. Maggie was born in Dooly but her purents moved to Sumter when she was about eight years old, though Maggie has been in Dooly going to school at Snow, Drayton and Unadilla. At the time of her sickness and death she was on a visit to a girl friend. Maggie joined the Baptist church at a tender age and was one of the sweetest girls I ever knew. Tender, loving, unselfish, devoted, kind, confiding, noble, above reproach, gentle and true to her instincts of right, she was a lovable girl. Having been from home for several years she boarded in many families while she went to school and all say, as well as her teachers and school-mates, that she was the purest, sweetest, most obedient and kindest girl they ever saw. XX’hen the news of her death reached Unadilla, where she had been going to school this year, it cast such a gloom over the town as I never saw there before; all loved her devotedly and mourn her death as one of brightest and purest of all. Her death was a sad blow to her many friends; then what must, it have been to her loving father who idolized his child. In her were wrapped his bright anticipations of future happiness and joy. In her he saw the culmination of all his ambitions. And now she is gone—and all is gone, of bright ness from his life. May the wounded hearts look up to Him who only can comfort and heal. Her remains were laid to rest in the cemetery at Snow, this county, on Monday July 31st, witnessed by many friends who loved her and sincerely mourn her death. D. L. I.

Mr. Cleveland’s rheumatic leg is causing the people who are interested in -kicking the rascals out to be very much interested in his recovery. They think that he has not kicked enough of them out yet to disable his leg by rheuma tism or otherwise. That unwelcome visitor, death, has again laid his hand upon one of our loveliest, purest and sweetest flowers, In the evening of July 30th. inst., Maggie Susan Sumer- ford’s pure spirit took its flight from her earthly home and re turned into the realms of Eternal Day. XX r e cannot understand these dis pensations of our good and kind Heavenly Father now. but “when the mists have cleared away” we shall then be enabled to under stand all mysteries. * Maggie is not dead: she lias just begun to live, and stands to night waiting and watching for us. XVe have lo-t a dear friend and sweet school-mate, but we bow in submission to the Divine will and ask for grace to help us say, “They will be done, not mine,” and help the sorely bereaved ones to look up amid their tears and say, “The Lord gave and the Lord taketh away, blessed be the name of the Lord.” Upon this cloud of sorrow which has hushed in silence all the world and made it so strangely dark, God’s bow of mercy gleams through the stillness of gloom and solitude which death creates. He bids his children to Iook up. His way is perfect, and in sweet submission His children bow. If there be one that shares the riches of a Father's presence more than another it is the chastened one. Shall we then repine that he leads us in shadowy paths? In love he gave, in love hath taken away our darling, Maggie. He took her in the radiant morn of life, while her heart, like the whole earth, was beautiful and glad; He called her ere the shadows came or the busy workings of life clash and mar; cloud with doubt her faith and trust in a Father’s wis dom, or the XVorld’s great heart. Every one loved this noble girl. Bright she was, kind-hearted, lov ing and true. Attractive in mind and heart her life absorded many noble and tender qualities. May we all meet our dear school-mate in that bright and Heavenly home where there will be no more part ing and no more tears. Gone, while her life was filled with song. Plucked by an Angel’s hand, was our beautiful flower, while in the heart, still sparkled the dew which Heaven distilled. In our brightest dreams we see her. She is smiling; we are weeping. She is singing; we are sighing. She is calling; we bend to listen and— Over the river she beckons to me, Lo'-ed one that crossed to the fur ther side. The gleam of her snowy robe J see. But her voice is lost in the dashing tide. Over the riyer the boatman pale Carried sweet Maggie, the house hold pet. Her golden hair waved in the gentle gale; Darling Maggie, I see her yet. She crossed on her bosom her dim pled hands. And fearlessly entered the phan tom bargue. We felt it glide from the silver sands, And all our sunshine grew strangely dark. Over the river, the mystic river. My childhood friend is waiting for me. Dear Maggie has left us but we will not forget her. Time will heal the wound that bleeds to-day. but we will always think of the Angel that is waiting on the gol den shore. Look back over her past life we see much that was beautiful and nothing to regret. She bloomed in our hearts only a short time, but the rich fra grance of her sweet character lin gers around us. She was only fiifteen ; but those fifteen years are golden links in memory’s chain. Our hearts are filled with sorrow but we know if we are faithful we will meet dear Maggie on that glad to-morrow, to sing praises through all eternity and never to part again.

If a Georgia belle 1 wants an accomplished husband Sandersville is the place to catch the prize.—Sandersville Progress The Macon News,of a recent date, contained a ringing editorial denouncing the convict lease sys tem of Georgia. Among other things, it says: “White and negro women are worked together indis criminately and driven by guards •md tracked by blood hounds. There is every reapon to believe that the bosses are in the habit of taking advantage of their helpelss victims in the vilest and most legraded manner. Women are -eported to have made their escape whose condition precluded the >ossibility of such a thing, it bein nerelv a pretext to cover up t' facts in the case.” I the spirit of millionaire making, of gambling and chance, has permea ted all through society until men have come to mistrust each other. There is universal distrust, and today we have a panic which every body says is caused by “want of confidence.” This is just it. Men have practiced evil ways and sought gain so long by illegitimate meanp. until their confidence in each other is gone. The law of God is working itself out. A na tion cannot practice evil contin ually and escape the penalty. Dr. M r. is si es in fiese troublous times a cause back of the McKinley act and the Sherman act.
