A school teacher down the valley
asked a small boy to parse the word
“kiss,” aud here is the way be did it:
“Kiss is a noun though generally used
as a conjunction. It is never declned.
It is more common than proper. It is
not very singular and is generally used
in the plural number, and agrees with
rue.”
The man with a standing advsrti.se
inent is the backbone of the newspa¬
per and the solid man of the communi¬
ty. In the summer or winter, in sun¬
shine or rain, the name greets the
public eye with every issue of the pa¬
per and people come, in time, to re
gard him him as well established in a
successful business, whether they have
been patrons or not. “Nothing sue
ceeds like success,” and the public,
once getting the idea that a man is
doinz well, stands ready to patronize
him naturally if they want anything the in
his line. In this simple fact lies
whole secret of persistent advertising.
CRAWFORDVILLE, GA., FRIDAY. ANUARY 24 . 1890 .
A SAD ACCIDENT.
Last Sunday morning Mr. and Airs.
J. U. Chapman were run into by the
fast taain ou the Georgia Railroad as
they were crossing the railroad at
what is known as the “Nancy Gunn
Crossing.” They were on their way
to church aud did uot see the train un¬
til they were ou (lie track. The train
was coming around a curve in the
road at such a rapid rate they did not
have time to clear the track before the
train struck the buggy. The buggy was
entirely demolished and Air. and Mrs.
Chapman were thrown some distance
on the gtound. Investigation showed
that they were both badiy hurt; Mrs.
Chapman being speechless and not
able to get up. They were carried to
M r. Ross Gunn’s and Doctors Daniel
and White were at once sent for.
When the doctors arrived they found
Mrs. Chapman iu a dying condition,
and aboot 12 o’clock she breathed her
last. Mr. Chapman was bruised up
soine.Jbut no bones were broken and
it is hoped he will soon recover.
Mrs. Chapman was about 84 years
old. She leaves a large number of
relatives and frieuds to mourn her loss.
Her remains were interred in the
family' burying ground near her home
Tuesday morning at 10 o’clock.
The Advocate extends sympathy
to the bereaved ones.
A Matter of Opinion.
A gentlcmau was greatly surprised
and pleased the other day at the reply
a lady gave to the question: “Do you
plant Vick’s Seeds ?” Her answer was:
“I always plant Vick’s seeds in the
front yard, but we get cheap seeds ,in
the back yard, which I know is a mis¬
take.”
It pays to plant good seeds, and we
advise our jriends who are thinking of
doing anything in this line to send
cents for Vick’s Floral Guide for 1896.
This amount may be deducted from the
first order. James Vick’s Sons,
Rochester, N. Y., are the pioneers iu
this line.
This sound advice comes from the
Trenton (Neb.; Register:
Young men, when you see a youug
lady pass along the street, refrain
from making insulting remarks about
her. Your sister may be the next one
to pass along and some fellow in the
crowd, who may not happen to know
who she is, might make a remark that
would make you fighting mad in an
The same may be applied to
married men als», with regard to their
wives.
Editor Facklcr geographically locates
his town as follows: “Doggone every
body and everything—we are mad !
No deaths, no marriages, no lights, no
drunks, no improvements of any kind
going up, nobody visiting or going
away; not even a country dog will
come to town so the boys can attach a
tin box to his tail, 12 miles from a rail¬
road, a million miles from heaven and
about two miles from hades, how in
the thunder can the public expect us
to get up a live local page under these
circumstances ? We have drawn on
on our imagination in the past until it
is about played out.”
An exchange tells of a fellow who,
every time he gets on a spree, insists
on payiDg a year’s subscription to his
town paper. He has already paid to
January 1st, 1917. Au effort should
be made to ascertain the brand of
whiskey the fellow is usiDg, that it
may be more generally put on the
market.
Thomas Allen, one of the oldest
men in the world, celebrated his 150th
birthday on Sunday last. He lives
near Morgantown, at the little village
of Flemington, in Taylor county, West
Virginia, and to see him walking about
his premises one would not suspect,
says a correspondent, he was more
than seventy-five. He is a war vet¬
eran of more than ordinary distinction,
having been a messenger to the duke
of Wellington at the|battle of Water¬
loo, and served in the English army in
their campaigns against Spain, France
and Portugal in the early part of the
century. He was a soldier in the
United States army during the war
against Mexico and fought in the Third
Virginia regiment during the civil war.
He was never married.

A sad calamity happened on the
Georgia Railroad between Barnett and
Crawfordville at the Gunn crossing in
which Mrs. Nancy Chapman lost her
life, and her husband Uncle Jimmie
was badly injuried, and no doubt he
may die from the shock and effects.
The place where the accident took
place is a bad one. Several persons
before have come very near losing
their lives there, and we think our
county Commissioners should change
the public road leading from Crawford¬
ville to Barnett, so as the public road
would cross the railroad below where
Mr. It 06 s Gunn lives aud run up on the
right hand side going to Crawfordville.
Y r e scrib came very near being killed
at this old crossing some time ago. We
deeply sympathize with the relatives
and friends of Uncle Jimmie and Aunt
Nancy. She is gone to rest no doubt,
and Uncle Jimmie will meet her when
be is called to go. Aunt Nancy was 83
years old UdcR Jimmie is 80years old.

A special t the Constitution from
Augusta, on last Sunday, says:
A brutal murder was discovered this
morning at the store of Y r ip Sang, a
Chinaman, on Campbell sticet, a lew
doors from th$ Union depot.
The dead body of the Chinaman was
found in Ins little store, bearing evi¬
dence of the most brutal and ferocious
assault. The skull was crushed in
three different places by blows with a
hatchet, and these were followed by
stab after stab with a knife—one in the
eye, one severing the nose, another
severing the jugular vein, and two or
three other stabs in the neck.
The Chinrman slept in a room above
ills store and the murder occurred at
the foot of the stairs leading from tlie
second story into the store. A ladder
was placed against the side of the
house to a window entering tlie bed¬
room, and it is supposed the murderer
entered that way. As the Chinaman
was killed in his store and was dressed,
it is inferred that the murder took
place immediately after the closing up
of the store for L the night. Probably
the murder 9 elite red the window
above, crept down the stairs and se¬
creted himself on the stairway until
Yip Sang clospd his store, put out his
lights and si: led up to his bed. No
other motive f lhan robbery has been
assigned.
The murdered man was a quiet, inof¬
fensive Chinajman and for two years
has been a member of the Chiuese
Sunday School of the First Baptist
church. To-day the ladies in charge
of the sunday school held a meeting
and decided tb spare no effort to find
the guilty party and briDg him to pun¬
ishment. Judge H. C. Roney, Charles
Z. McCord and F. T. Lockhart offered
their services^o conduct the prosecu¬
tion.
An old negro living in the neighbor¬
hood was arrested on suspicion, but it
is believed that he is innocent. Yip
Sang was a w«il-to-do Chinaman about
forty-five years old.

and lilthy clothing, while several pairs
of good trousers were hanging on the
wall. A mass of old bones which had
been boiled several times, were found
in a corner, When neighbors found
him very ill and without lire they built
a tire iu the old hearth, but the old
miser pleaded with them not to burn

This is a glorious civilization! The
genius of man has burst all houndsl
Because, when we have an overpro¬
duction of all good things to eat, and
the people who produced them with
tlicir labor, must ’go hungry and in
rags. Recause, during war times,
when men are called to leave the plow
bread is easier to procure; and when
men are called from the factory to the
battle grounds, clothes are more easily
had. Because, when people leave
productive industry to dig in mines for
yellow metals and curious stones, food
hunts for throats to slip down and
clothes seek bare backs to cover. From
the appearance of things, the easiest
way to get food and clothing is to stop
producing them. Verily man is a
genius and this world a mystery ! The
fool hath said in his heart, there is no
solution lo these questions.—Caroline
