SUNDAY BLAZE* AROUSES MCDONOUGH. Servant House In Judge Harris's Yard is Destroyed. Fire Com pany Did Well. The Sunday Schools in Mc- Donough Sunday morning were interrupted by the alarm of fire. It was found that a servant house in the rear of Judge A. G. Harris’s residence was ablaze. The fire orginated on the inside of the house, and was pouring through the roof when the alarm was given. Our volunteer fire department made a quick run and with the hose and a good pressure soon extinguished the flames. Only the hull of the house was left stand ing, the contents of the house being entirely destroyed. DR. NOLAN S FATHER WILL INVESTIGATE DEATH, i. Q. Nolan Will Go To Mexico To Solve Mystery Of Son's Sudden Death There. We copy the articile below from the Macon Telegraph. It throws a little more light upon the death of an old McDonough boy: EATONTON, March 21.—Not entirely satisfied with the meager information contained in the letter announcing the death of Dr. Frank Nolan, on March 6th at Tampico, Col. J. Q. Nolan, the young man’s father is seeking to arrange for an immediate trip to Tampico for a further investiga tion. The seal on the letter, the word ing and other facts taken into con sideration, and the fact that the letter was mailed under difficulties, being sent out on an oil boat sail ing from Tampico, gives ground for suspicion that full facts were suppressed. Dr. Nolan was a splendid specimen of young man hood and has all his life been of an unusually strong and robust con stitution. That he would have stayed in a hospital several weeks, and later returned to the hacienda where he has lived for several years past, and again returned to Tampico critically ill without ever notifying his father, whose only son he was, is difficult to believe Col. J. Q. Nolan, is of the opinion that his son was probaly wounded and later died from the effects of the wound. The letter from Dr. Pressley, the Presbyterian minister, stated that he was rushed into a fast mo tor boat to Tampico from his ha cienda, and peacefully passed away in route. An effort will also be made to secure Dr. Nolan’s body for burial in the state, al though there are international complications that may prevent this bieng done. Mrs. A. C. Sowell has been spending sometime'with her sis ter, Mrs. Price, who lives near town and is seriously ill. Mrs. Sow ell has brought Mrs. Price’s little infant to her home and is caring for the little one during its moth ers illness. MISS RUBY WALKER WEDS MR. BENTON THOMPSON.

WALTER WISE STARTS BALL ROLLING. Former Solicitor General And Excellent Gentleman Announces For Congress in this Issue. The Hon. J. W. Wise makes his announcement for Congress in this issue of The Weekly. We do not have to tell anything about Mr. Wise in Henry County, or, for that matter, even in the Sixth district, and his public ser vice and its benefit to the people have extended farther than that, for the whole State has been the beneficiary of his statesmanship. He was born and reared in Henry county and our county is truly proud of him and his achievement. Two years ago he had cast fbr him enough votes to send him to Congress but enough votes were lost in the count or consoli dation or in some way to deprive him of his well and honestly earn ed victory. Mr. Wise is not asking support because of this injustice, for we have not heard of his having re ferred to it at all. But his merit is such that it make its own ap peal. He is honest to the core and any interests can be intrusted to his care by one who would sleep un disturbed by fear for their safety. He is one of the State’s ablest men and has already impressed his legal skill on the statute books of Georgia. In the office of Solicitor General of the Flint Circuit he cared well but fairly for the interests of the State in all matters and showed himself to be a lawyer of the high est rank. The people know him and re member his superior fitness and will surely give him a splendid vote this time. SI.OO A YEAR
