Thomas Oaf lor lias crowned bis long list of sacrifices for Sewatiee by refusing the bishopric of Georgia’ Sewanee is beside itself with excite ment this morning. Hells have been ringing and the most uncontrollable emotion is exhibited on all sides. The students and people vie with each other in attempting to show* their love and devotion to the one man who has thought it worth while to lay his life and talents upon the altar of .Se- wance’s good. With tears In bis eyes Mr. (Jailor told the boys thisfniorning that there were some things that were greater than wealth, than honor, than ambition, and prayed God they would learn that Wesson. He said, too, that the people of the south would find out that Sowanco and her aims were worthy of being i.acri Deed for. The exercises of the university h|ve been suspended, and to-night three hun dred students will give vent to their feelings and testify their abiding love for a man whose heart beats so warmly for them/ Georgia has lost a noble bishop, but the University of the South lias gained a splendid future. Mr. Gailoi's letter to the committee, 9 declinitig to accept the bishopric on the ground that ho felt that duty demanded hint to remain at Sewanee, has just been forwarded. A convention to elect his successor will probably be held iq Atlanta within three weeks. A cyclone passed near Leesburg Fri day afternoon. The furious wind was accompanied by rain and hail and much damage resulted. A mule and a horse I t j i(; a j ar belonging to Hill Daniel, colored, were struck by lightning and instantly killed. The hands who w r ere plowing them had scarcely hitched the animals under tree and ran in a house near by when the fatal stroke came. Lightning also struck the colored Methodist church, 1 ^ car t j ie j tearing the front end entirely away. The barn, stockade and gin house of Mr. K. A. Forrester were blown down, as was a large amount of fencing on his place. Watermelons, cotton and corn on the places of Messrs. K H. Martin, J. W. Forrester, A. H. Duncan, K. A. Forrester and I). A.

Senator Colquitt is just back from New York, where he has been in consul tation with Governor Hill, and taking an insight into politics generally. When an interviewer asked him, on his return, os to Judge Crisp’s chances for the speakership, ho said: r il Judge Crisp is being talked of very much In New York. Ho is recognized by them as a man of eminent ability nud thorough qualifications for spoaker. I have no doubt but that tho New York delegation will vote for him. It seemk to be tho impression throughout the north that he will ho elected.” The.llca«o» Why. * “Amon J.

Mrs. Forrester has lived a long and upright life. Al’ who knew her loved h?£ and it was to ,those who knew her bdst that she was most dear. The un timely ending of such a consecrated Christian life is most sad and her taking, away will be‘keenly felt by her largo circle of children and grandchildren. This morning her body will be laid peacefully to rest beside that of her hus band, who made the last long voyage some years ago. Believes la CrUp. Ed Barrett in the Constitution has ibis to say of Mr. Cummings’ visit to Americus: “Amos Cummings tho New York con gressman and newspaper correspondent, is down in Americus to write a letter to the New York Sun on Judge Crisp at homo. Cununiugs wants to mix with the people and learn just what they think of Mr. Crisp. Ho will* also write a letter on wiregrass Georgia. Mr. Cum mings is for Crisp for speaker. He be lieves the Georgian will be elected and an interesting letter may be expected from him.” It was not necessary for Mr. Cum mings to come from New York to -ascer tain that tho people of this section, and of all Georgia, for that matter, regard Mr. Crisp as tlie giandest Georgian and the greatest democrat of them all. • A Card.
