' Wednesday evening late, Coro
ner Oaerry waa summoned to bold
an inquest over the body of •
drowned negro boy In the north-
eaatern portion of the eity. About
noon, its mother, Ellen Frazier,
left her bouse to go to work, and
carried her children to the bouse of
a neighbor, where there was a girl
about seven years old. Some time
alter the girl took the boy down to
a little stream in the neighborhood
where she left him to play. Some
time afterward he was heard
screaming, but stopped very sud
denly. A few hours af(^rward, a
negro woman went to look for the
boy and found him lying on the
edge ol the stream, covered with
mud and nearly dead. As soon as
possible, Coroner Otierry was sum
moned and a jury empanelled. The
verdict ol the jury was that the boy
came to liis death by drowning,
from causes unknown to the jury.
His* very common habit among
the negro women to leave their
children at home alone, or at
neighbor’s house, where they re
ceive no care or notice. This it
often the cause of negro cabins
being burned, the children being
burned with them. It is a great
evil, but there seems to be no way
to stop it.

You know, and we know, that a con

dent that onr customers will be as well

doing so. We notice that the com

Judge Bower, at Isabella last
Tuesday, granted an injunction re
straining the city council from
breaking the Mitchell mill pond,

OBITUARY.
R. F. Wiggins, of Schley oounty, Ga„
departed this life October W, 1884.
The subject of tbfc notice was boro la
Warren county, Ga., January 37.1824.
During his long and nseful life he had
gained the friendship of all that knew
him, and his death caust>d genuine team
of regret to flow from the eyes of his score
of mends. Our friend and neighbor
made a devoted hnsband and father, and
he leaves a grief stricken wife and seven
children to miss his kindly end affection
ate ministrations. He joined the Mis
sionary Baptist ehnreh in 1854 nnder the
ministry of the Rev. Isaac Hart, his
father-in-law, who has preceded him to
the glory world. The burial services
were conducted by Rev. MoDonald, who
spoke touchingly of (be noble man whose
soul has fled to the higher realms of life,
where sickness and sorrow pain and
death is felt and feared no more Wearied
with the burden of this Ufa be nan laid
them down. Chilled by an aim sphere
filled with evil, he basremov .d to aoli-
mate where leaves never die and where
he may enjoy forever the balm breathing
gardens of the eternal. It was never onr
lot to witness so much self composure
and calm resignation to the will of God
as was manifested by our departed friond
and neighbor. He seemed perfectly con*
scions of hia condition. As evidence there
of, he called hit sons together and gave
directions concerning bis business, sny
iog his end was near at hand, but be did
not dread it. Two of his friends being
called to minister to his dying wants, h»
asked that they would pmy with him.
Being asked if he would like to have any
portion of the Scripture read, he suggest
ed the third psalm. Alter the psalm was
read and the prayer offered, the entire
family and friends were astonished at th<
hearty and audible amen that he uttered.
The evening preceding bis death, seeming
perfectly conscious of bis condition, he
expressed a desire to have his children
all assembled and give him the last part
ing kiss while he was yet able to appreci
ate the token of aftection. This was in
deed a vory touching scene to see the
wife of his bosom and the children he
loved approaoh the head of a dying fatbei
and bestow the last kiss. All in accord
ance with his request, who could wjtnes*
the above scene and not exclaim with th<
ANNOUNCEMENTS.

Tk* Reason
Why, I. W. Harper’s Nelson County
Whiskey is preferred above all other
Brands is because it is tbe most regular
and most perfect Product, incontestably
ever made. A long experience in the
manufacture of the Harper, the large
capital of the Distiller which .enables him
to bold his Whiskey until it is fully ma
tured, togelher with the fact that the
Whiskey is bought by and shipped me to
