With music of anotner day.

And present joys are far away ;

Beware of modern joys, I vow

Big Fire at McDonough.
McDonough, .eighteen miles north
of Griffin, had a most disastrous
fire Bunday afternoon, when a
whole block of business buildings
was entirely destroyed.
The fire started about five o’clock
and originated in the building of
the D. J. Green Company, fronting
on Macon street, which was soon
destroyed. The fire spread west
and burned a row of five other
buildings fronting on Griffin street,
in one of which the Henry County
Weekly office was located

heaviest losers. They lost 115,000
worth of merchandise and about
16,000 worth of notes, while Mr.

was totally destroyed. It was own
ed by Fouche & L :i mon and edited
by Col. J. A.. Fouche, on whom the
loss falls heavily.
The livery business if J J. Smith

ing, was destroyed.
The loss of property isestimat-d
at 1100,000, with less than SIO,OOO
of insurance.
The wind happened io be blowing
in a westerly direction »r the whole
business portion of the town would
have probably been laid in ashes.

And Closing Exerclgeg of Brooks Station
High School.
ByN. D. Huckaby.
Brooks Station, Ga., Sep*. 21.—
The closing exercises of the summer
term of the Brooks Station High School
was one of the best closing exercises
that has ever been held here and too
much can not be said in praising Prof.
J. D. Smith for the way that he has
taught and trained his pupils lor .the last
year. His assistant. Miss O’Dessi Ga
ble, also deserves much praise for the
way she has assisted him.
The closing exercises began last
Thursday night with an exhibition by
the primary department and it was a
grand success in every way. It was
largely attended and all seemed to en
joy it very much, as all of the little pu
pils acted their parts well.
On Friday was the oral examination
and on Friday night was one of the best
exhibitions that has ever been held at
Brooks Station. There were between
1,000 and 1,200 people present and all of
them were well entertained until after
midnight.
Saturday was the school rally and it
was largely attended. State School
Commissioner W. B. Merritt delivered
one of the best speeches that has been
made here in many years, and we might
say the best one that has been made by
any State school commissioner, and it
was one that will long be remembered.
Hon. Chas. L. Bartlett was sick and
could not get here and Judge Roan was
engaged in holding court and could not
get here, but nevertheless the exercises
went on just the same.
There were only three schools in the
county that made the oratorial contest
for a prize, Brooks Station, Mount
Springs and Fayetteville. James J.
Woolsey represented Brooks Station,
Miss Minnie Mitchell Mount Springs
and Lem M. Hickson Fayetteville. The
prize was given to Fayetteville school.
The next educational rally will be
held at Fayetteville at the closing of the
next spring term.
The school here has been one among
the best in the county this year and
Prof. Smith expects to have a better one
next year. He is one among the best
teachers in the State and lias so far come
nearer suiting the entire community
than any teacher that has taught here in
many years.
Prof. Smith, accompanied by bis wife
and baby, who came down to attend the
closing exercises of his school, left Sun
day for Fairburn, w here he will spend
his vacation on his farm.
PURSUED BY MAN
HE KILLED.
Kill* Moore, Who Killed Heflin in Fx.yelte
County Sevrral Year* Ago, ll».
Ktcuino Maniac.
Fairborn, Ga„ Sept. 21 — Ellis
Moore, a citizen of this county, was
brought here by parties living in
Rivertown district, of this county,
and lodged in jail a raving man ac.
Soma years ago Moore, while liv
ing at Favor’s mill in Fayette coun
ty, shot and killed a man by the
name of Heflin at that place, for
which be was exonerated by a cor
oner’s jury. There were no eye
witnesses to the killing and Moore’s
statement claimed self-defense.
It seems, however, that the kill
ing has preyed on Moore’s mind
ever since, causing him to take to
the use of morphine and whisky,
which he has used excessively until
his mind could no’ longer stand the
strain.
He imagines that Heflin, his vic
tim, is heading a mob who are after
him trying to lynch him, and he
cries out in great fear of Heflin and
his mob.
When first taken into custody he
ran wildly from his captors, think
ing they were the mob, and had to
be overpowered while resisting his
pursuers.
Mooro was wounded in the Bir
mingham mob that tried to lynch
the famous murderer Hawi sat Bir
mingham several years age.
