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 torment, Hold of Christian Ceivu .tei’y, according to the boluvo dead all the military honors due his rank.

Both the church and military services were solemn and impressive. “We are but echoing the senti ment of the entire community when we extend to the bereaved widow our sympathy, especially as tho death of her husband follow ed within three years the decease of her son, thus imposing on her a double burden.” General Merchandise.

I ' In electioneering some would have the impression that there is no laudiblo ambition or futuro honors for the bright eyed, strong minded hoys of our land save that of politics and tilling of political offices, and that faithful and ex perienced office holders should bo oast aside to make place for somo new and untried man so as to en courage the young to aspire to office holding. Such teaching is wrong in principle. To thus en courage the young does them an injury, and, if the advice were fol lowed, goon would (ill our state and the nation with political time- servers and demagogues.

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 should not look to office holding as | Hud in the Southern States. all there is in this life worthy our ■ Another and insurmountable evi- best efforts.

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?” Aired Couple Take Trip. Lon; ,J. \V r . Harrison and wife, an aged couple who have traveled from New York to Atlanta in a wagon, stopped over in Ac word h last Saturday and Mr. Harrison preached to a good size crowd on the streets Sunday afternoon.
