appear hi our next issue.
i
Don't Leave Vcur Children Alone.
The sad fate of the three Birdchil-
dren given in an other column should
teach the parents both white and
black a lesson in regard to leaving
their children alone. It is too late to
be careful after you have lost your
children. It is trying on parents to
lose thoir children by what appears
unavoidable sickness, but to have
them burned is heart-rending, it is
hideous, it is terrible. Dont leave
your children alone.
A Good Paper.
I'roni the Atlanta Constitution.
The Carnesviile Kxtkkpuis n of
this week is the best issue of that pa¬
per that has reached the Constitution
office in many months. It is well
Idled witii news, and is unusually well
printed. The people of Carnesviile
should feel proud of Tun K.vmu'iusK
It is doing much good for the section
in which it is published, and is, no
doubt, being hansomely sustained.
HORRIBLE BURNING.
Three Negro Children Meet Death in
a Burning House.
Last Wednesday while Hut Bird
and wife were in the field a half-mile
from home their house caught on tire,
burning their three children to death
before the house could bo reached.
This horror is the greatest Franklin
county has had since Frank Sanders
killed and burned the entire family
of John Swilling. The occurrence is
.ghastly to think of. Mysterious fate
has dealt hard with them. AYe ex¬
tend to them our sympathies, but re¬
alizing that human expressions are too
weak to give comfort to them, Hut
and his wife arc said to be hard wosk-
mg negroes, They live 4 or 5 miles
north-east of Carnesviile on U. T.
Brown’s farm. The white people
arc freely giving them provisions,
bed clothes etc. The oldest child
C and the youngest about 2 years
of age.
125 cook stoves, 500 joints stove I
pipe, “Never Break” skillets, and a
full line of stove trimmings, at the |
Hardware Store, Harmony Grove.

Everybody is fcu-v finishing up
their cat sowing, j’.reparatory to set¬
ting thoir cotton and other crops.
Our people contemplate planting
largely of sorghum.
Tlie population of Enstanolleo has
increased. A stfanger put in its ap¬
pearance at S. W. Mosley’s the 14th.
it was a girl, and Sam is quite ani-
ihated, as the more girls there arc in
the family the greater will be the
number of admirers, especially among
the young men.
An Alliance lodge was organized |
at Eastar.ollee the loth inst. with a

is being made largely on the people
for the hawk and owl.
The academy at Eastanolleo is
nearing completion, and applications
are coming in for positions as teach-
tT) j )Ut som ebody will be left, as our
people do not intend to have child’s
pla.v in the matter, by employing in-
boys with a certificate
from college, sent out for mere noto-
rioty. AYe want a man that has the
back-bonc and nerve and knows what
he is doing.
Our farmers are making some close
calculations j«*t ndw, as the time is
j approaching to lay in their supplies,
j Tli£J M al<e »' ot -reckoning on what they
; need, but what they can do without.
Buys looking out for a life partner
should bear in mind that there is one
up this way that is true blue. She
was engaged in burning some rub¬
bish when her dress caught on fire,
: and she had the presence of mind to
; j„ m? into the creek near by, and ex-
| tinguished the flames, thereby com-
jug out unharmed.
