of the dentil of Cnpt. Edward
Spaw Avis, United States Army,
retired, which occurred at Dahloue-
ga, Ga., on Saturday, April 2, af
ter an illness of but one week of
pneumonia. Capi. Avis was a son
of the late Capt. John Avis of this
place, a veteran of both,the Mexi
can war and the War between the
States, and a direct decendcn>t of
Peter Haines, the last Revolution-
! ary soldier who lived in Charles
; Town. 'He was bouti at Harpers
j Ferry, May 15, 1857, and received
: his early education at the Charles
Town Academy, where ho was con
sidered one of the brightest stu
dents attending that institution of
learning. At the ago ot 18 he was
appointed a cadet to West Point,
afti rwai’d graduated with disting
uished honors, and was commis
sioned a captain in the regular
i army, where he did efficient ser •
vice. He was, during Ilk active
service, detailed as military in
structor at,Jhe West Virginia Uni
versity, where ho also served as
instructor in mathematics. He
subsequently served successfully
as military instructor at Peckshill
Military Academy, Now York, as
commandant of Delaware College,
(where ho also held a professor
ship in mathematics), and instruc
tor in the Military College at Wil
mington, Delaware. At the time
of Ails death he was president of
the North Georgia Agricultural
College, at Duhloncga, in that
State. He was a profound student,
and was the author of several
books on military tactics. The
wife of Captain Avis, who sur
vives him, is a daughter (if Cap
tain Carter, of Virginia, an officer
of the regular army. An only
son died several years ago. He is
survived by six brothers and three
sisters—Janies L., of Harrison
burg, Va.; J. Randolph, tfcd John
J., of San Francisco; Braxton D.,
of Washington City; Joseph C., of
Berry ville, Va.; W, Walter, of
West Virginia; and Mrs. Lizzie
Cockrell, Mrs. Elmer E. Stone-
sifer and Mrs. Richard II. Taylor,
of this place.
The Newark (Del.) Ledger of
Saturday, in noticing the death
and burial of Capt. Avis, says:
“The residents of our town were
shocked to hear the news of the
death of Capt. Avis, which occur
red in Dahloncga, Ga., last Satur-
.day. After his retirement from
the active seryice because of an in
jured limb he was detailed to Dela
ware College as commandant, also
holding the professorship of math
ematics, .which position he resign
ed a few years later to become in
structor of the Military College of
Wilmington, and then accepted the
call to the presidency of the Agri
cultural College of Georgia. A
few days ago he was attacked by
what appeared to be a mild case of
grippe, which suddenly developed
into pneumonia., and soon ended
the life of the sturdy soldier.
“The funeral services were held
on Tuesday afternoon, at his late
residence on Main street. A
quartette, composed of
Worth and Wilson, and

.tei’y, according to the boluvo
dead all the military honors due
his rank. After the religious cere
mony the American Hag and the
sword once worn bv the deceased
officer were removed, and the
coffin gently lowered: after which
the cadet corps (ired threo volleys,
and then the bugler standing at
the head of the open grave souud-

military services were solemn and
impressive.
“We are but echoing the senti

when we extend to the bereaved
widow our sympathy, especially
as tho death of her husband follow

of her son, thus imposing on her a
double burden.”

In electioneering some would
have the impression that there is

wrong in principle. To thus en

Discussing the contract which
he has made to deliver $20,000
worth of bullfrogs in St. Louis for
use during the World’s Fair, Mr.
Nat Wetzel is quoted un follows:
“I am on record now and al
ways as saying that the medium-
sized frog of Louisiana and Texas
commands a higher price in the
markets of this country than his
fellow-croaker of the protesting
Northwest ever will command. I
reiterate that the Louisiana and
Texas frog is the most sought-af
ter species of his kind in the mar
kets. Nothing could possibly
show this plainer than the fact
that the Northwestern frog, the
frog found in Winconsin, Minne
sota, Illinois, Iowa, and, indeed,
place or position our talents and "ay up in Canada, is a unit and
energies best tit ns for, but we not the table equal of the frog we

of $1.25 and $2 per dozen, while
the thin-legged little fellows fish
ed out of ice-bound mudholes of
the Northwest can only induce the
price of 7 and 11 cents per dozen
out of the pockets of commission
merchants in all the markets of
the country.
“Natural laws govern the pro
duction of the frog crop exactly
is the as they govern the production of
; any other crop. The frog of the
Northwest can no more be the de
sirable product of his kind than
cotton would be if planted up
there. The bullfrog is stunted in
his growth in that section. He ,
has to go deeper in the inud in
winter in order to protect himself
from a condition of temperature
that lie was not made to with
stand. Down here he is in his
proper element for development.
He gets richer food in ,tho warm
waters of the Louisiana bayous
and lagoons, while in the multi
tudinous mud holes of the North
west he finds himself cheated of
what is his just due in the way of
provender. Down here also he
can come out of the ground earlier
and have more chance to develop
than is afforded him in any of the
States of the Northwest or in Can
ada.
“What better evidence does one
want of the superioty of the Lou
isiana and Texas frog over his
dwarfed brother of the Northwest
than the fact that we now liavo
orders to ship all the Louisiana
and Texas frogs we can possibly
secure to such places as San Fran-
.cisco, Atlantic City, Toronto,
Canada; Portland, Ore.; Boise
City, Iowa, and Seattle, Wash,?
This fact shows plainly tl\at the
Northwestern frog is pet doing
active duty on the .tables -of this
wide section of country.
“Really, however, this proce
dure of mine to collect $20,000
worth of frogs in Loisiana and
Texas -seems to have awakened
echoes from quarters that might
have with more profit to them
selves kept silent. A case in point
is that of tho editor of a newspa
per in Lake Charles, La. A.busi
ness enterprise which I am .con
ducting seems to have thrown th;e
gentleman into a nightmare fropi
which ho seems to have difficulty
in recovering. He seems to live
in an atmosphere of frogs, despite
the fact that we only expect to
catch a few in his neighborhood.
“If this'genfcleman will reflect
more, however, ho will realize
that the frog-eatehing enterprise
means something substantial to
the subscribers of his newspaper.
To illustrate, I may cite the fact
that wo now have contracts with ,a
great many rice planters in that
section to supply us with the frogs
which, according to nature’s laws,
abound in wet places. Now, why
1 should the editor of this newspa
per object to his subscribers limb
ing two crops instead of one?”
