by, .as scarcely any other kind is thought
of now—unless it be a four or live story

many more still are in contemplation.

A well known gentleman from that throne,
neighborhood was in Americus yester-1 Her funeral will take place Saturday
day, and to a Tlmks-Rk okdkk reporter
gave a ffew additional facts about the
case which may serve to throw some
light upon it. The strange beast, he
says, is nothing more nor less than a
fierce anil wild hyena.
Last Friday a fisherman saw the terri
ble monster as it came down the bank j
on the opposite side of the creek to ;
drink. The man was very much fright-1
ened. but dared not run until the ani
mal finished drinking and had slipped ,
back Into the almost impenatreble jun
gle that stretches tip and down the
stream for miles.
This solution, or explanation rather,
is a very plausible one, and accounts
fully for the presence of the terrible
animal there, as the following facts will
show.
Several years ago, during a general
fight at a circus in a town a few miles
below Sumter City, several animals
broke from their cages and escaped,
among which were four very large and
tierce hyenas. The next day, however,
all the animals were recaptured except
the hyenas, who have since continued to
roam the swamps in that locality.
These animals are very ferocious, and
when hungry will attack a man as well
as a dog. The gentlemen here yester
day is positive that the wholesale
slaughter of the dogs is the work of one
or more of these beasts, p irticularly
sinco one has been seen within a mile or
two of that place. The negroes are very
much alarmed since this fact was made
known, and scarcely one of them will
venture out of doors at night on any ac
count.

N MEMORY OF 31 KM. G. W. GI.O
Theday was Hourly dying far .Imv
w« ; the clouds with their gllmlngs of crlm-
h >n and gold bcjewele.1 tliesky'Jike mosaic
from lie-*von'n lair realm; the billing note
of bird songs were hushed; the Mowers at sc
of sun had bowed their heads, and a holy
hush rested like a benediction upon earth’s
weary children. In a in.me once so bright
and Joyous our dear one was gently passing
away from us; yet there shone upon her face
a “light that ne’er was on land or sea.” Much
a seem* as that can never t>e forgotten.
All the loving ministers of affection and
care had failed. We could not keep her wltii
us, for her Father had need of her, and bravo
ly and calmly she met the insatiate foe,
whose touch of blight had despoiled the hap
py home. Her sufferings ended, she was en
terlng Into perfect rest, forever toenjoy with
her Lord t fie rich rewards of labor well done.
Oil. the light that fell around that dying
pillow was heavenly in its radiance. Her
words of love and comfort, of perfect submis
sion to Divine will, were very pre lous to the
bleeding hearts so crushed by this provl
deuce. She spoke of the light that iilumlm d
her way, of the glimpses of loved ones who
were “waiting and watching at tho beautiful
gate,” bin above all she said “I see the (ac»
of my b'essed Savior, so full of compassion
and love," and extending her feeble arms,
she whispered, “I want to place them around
His neck, tor He has pardoned iny sins, and
I am so happy In His love.” As Iran angel
had tuned Its harp strings, her feeble voice
began losing, “Jesus, Lover of my Houl.”
The song was left unsung to mortal enrs, for
she had gone to Mulsh It forever among the
angelic choir in the celestial c*ty.
