BIT BY A MAD DOG.
Frightful Experience of the Little
Daughter of Mr. Bol> Culpepper.
The mail dog excitement has agaiu
spread among our people.
Another victim has felt the fatal
fangs of a diseased canine.
On last Sunday morning the fifteen
year old daughter of Mr. Robert Cul
pepper, accompanied by her father,
started out to carry the cows a short
distance to the pasture, and not a one
iu that household had the faintest idea
of the terrible occurrence that would
befall her before she again r* ached the
portals of home
After reaching the pasture and se
curing the cows their attention was
called to the fact that a mule had bro
ken out, and was iu the corn field near
by.
I hey immediately started out with
tho intention of driving the inule away,
the daughter going around in one di
rection aud the father iu another.
In passing around the brow of the
hill the father was startled to hear
screams coming from the dii action in
which iiis daughter had goue—the bill
having caused him to Use sight of her.
What was his borrow when gaining
a point where he could witness what
was occuiriug, to see a large dog, with
blood-decked foam Hying from his
mouth, spring from a clump of hushes
that bordered a small “wash” through
the field, and catch her with his cruel
teeth by the right shoulder, throwing
her to the grouud.
It was hut a second before the father
was at her side, and with a strength
and energy bom ol the moment soon
succeeded in causing the rabid animvl
to relinquish his hold, aud seek safety
iu flight.
As soon as the occurrence became
known in the neighborhood a number
of citizens armed themselves aud went
in search of the dog, hut whether they
succeeded in killing him or uot your
reporter has failed to ascertain.
Upon examination it was found that
the dog had inflicted several severe
wounds on the young lady’s person,
one on the right arm, between the
shoulder ami elbow, another on the left
hand, between the thumb and fore fin
ger, and a third on the calf of the leg.
In the afternoon Mr. Culpepper left
for Campbell county, whither he car
ried his daughter to test upon her the
wonderful aud far famed mad stone, in
possession of a citizen there.
We learn that upon the first applica
tion the stone adhered to the wound,
sticking, perhaps, for about fifteen min
utes. The second time it wao applied
it Temaiuul for something over three
hours.
Mr. Culpepper, and his daughter,
are now at home relieved of all un
easiness of any further trouble from
the bite, having been assured by all
who are acquainted with the virtues of
the above mentioned stone that it has
ever proven infallible.
It was a strange dog, never having
been seeu in that locality before.
On Saturday a dog, which, from its
appearance and actions was supposed
to he mad, entered the yard of Mr.
James Fos’er, who lives about three
miles west of town, and a'tacked his
dog, biting him severely. Leaving Mr.
Foster’s he went in a southern direc
tion, and is next heard of at Mr. Si.
Oglesby’s place, where he bit one or
more dogs. From there he came in
the direction of town, passing through
the southern portion of it, and is repor
ted to have bitten nearly every dog in
t'Jacksville. lie next made his ap
pearance on Mr. A. A Lemon’s plan
tation, cast of town.
On this place an old negro and his
son weie engaged hauling wood, and
i heir dogs being with them in the
woods had “treed” a'rabbit in a rock
pile some distance from where they
were engaged loading their wagon.
The younger negro left his father with
i he intention of going to his dogs to se
cure the rabbit, if possible. Just be
fore reaching them he was confronted
by a strange dog that made at him.
The rock pile being handy he grasped
a large one and flung it at the dog with
all his might, knocking him to the
ground. With a growl the dog sprang
to his feet and was at him again, and
once agaiu the negro laid him low
with a rock. At til’s juncture of the
proceedings the attention of the other
dogs was attracted, and dog like “they
waded in to the under dog.” 'The ne
gro then “longed to throw himself into
the arms of his father,” —went, and
“stood not upon the order of his go
ing.”
In speaking of the affair he says,
”1 neb-r looked back, but fum de fuss
dey was keepin’ I think dat ole mad
dog wooled ’em like de dickens.”
From this place he is reported to
have gone in the direction of Mr. G’ul
pepi er’s, which is about four miles east
of town And it is generally thought
to be-lhe same dog that attacked his
daughter, lie has not been caught.

“Oh, no!” replied'the little one,

And now I have no jacket.

In the liroad field of cotton.”

With money iu your pocket?”

But haul some loads of wood to town

“RUGGED HONESTY.”
A Debt of Thirty Years Raid With
Compound Interest.
“An honest man is the noblest work
ot God.”
It is quite refreshing in this day,
when men are scrambling for wealth,
and thinking hut little of honor, to find
one of the rugged old types of southern
manhood who still has such u just ap
preciation of honor that he counts his
word his bond.
Ou last Sunday morning Mrs. S. W.
Brown, proprietress of the Brown
House, received a letter, written in a
rough, cramped baud, that site was un
able to recogn’ze What was her sur
prise upon opening it to find enclosed
twociisp tens and a five dollar hill fold
ed together with ihe following note of
explanation, which we give verbatim.

Mrs S W Brown
I think I owed Aa Brown your Hus
band two dollars aud Sixteen cents that
has about 30 yea:s ago I Send you in
this $25 dollars I think that will pay
the principle and Intrust please accept
it iu payment
Mr. Asa Brown was for a number
of years and up to the time of his
death, in the mercant’le business at this
place, and the letter is supposed to be
from some one of his old debtors.
The identity of the sender has been
well concealed ; not only is the ch’.rog
raphy unfamiliar, but no name whatei
er is signed to it, and the postmark was
also undistiuguishable, so it will ever
remaiu a mister} as to who thig man is
who believes so strongly in honesty.
The sum, as stated in the letter, just
about reaches the amount due, adding
to the principal the interest compound
ed
The old adage “Honesty is the best
policy,” would hardly be apropos, it
seems to us, iu this case.
Take it all iu all it is one of the
strangest incidents that has ever come
under our knowledge.

Mrs. J. D. Spencer, of Jackson, nar
rowly escaped death from poison hv
drinking coffee last Tuesday morning.
She detected a bitter taste iu the coffee,
aud setting it aside after a swallow or
two, thereby saved her life. The
cook, an old negro woman, drank two
cups of it and died iu about three
hours How the poison got into the
coffee is a mystery, but it is supposed to
have been from painted grains. No
oue thinks it an attempt to kill the fam
lly. Mrs. Spencer is well known here,
where she has relatives.

■ receive the benefits of endowment lie
j lore tlie home order was instituted.
I lie enterprising citizens of the
State, realizing the great good like or
ders had done otlie" sections, organized
a Georgia order under the name and
style of The Mutu.il Endowment Or
der—promising, as all other like orders
do, to pay SIOO in twelve months for
the least possible cost, and 5? 12 per
week sick benefits for five weeks dur
ing the year. The order is chartered
for twenty years by the Superior court
of Fulton. The original twelve mouth
order paid one SIOO for 130 the first
year, and is still doubling its members’
money in twelve months.
Mr. Geo. M, Spencer, deputy sit
prerne organizer, has organized a lodge
iu McDonough, and as iuformalion the
following about the liostou Progres
sive is taken from the Atlanta Journal,'
as it operates on the same plan as the
Mutual Endowment:
()u the 12th of May, 1800, the Pro
gressive Benelit Order was incorporat
ed under the laws of Massachusi Us re
lating to fraternal beneficiary organiza
tions, and has a reserve fund of $250,-
000 iu interest-bearing securities with
the treasurer of that State. During
the first year of its corporate existence
it reached a membership of 37,000, and
at the present time it has over 58,000
members throughout the States and
Cuuadas. This phenomenal growth
within so short a time is unexampled iu
the history of fraternal, benefit or in
surance associations, and this large
number is being augmented by an av
erago of 1000 new members each week.
Mr. Davey, the supreme president, may
well receive congratulations upon his
brilliant success.
The nature and character of the or
der is essentially co-operative, and as
lion. Geo. 1). Robertson, ex-governor
of Massachusetts, said, referring to this
system of endowments and heuefits :
“ The same ua'ural laws apply to them
as apply to any other company doing
an insurance business. I'liey have just
the same stability, and are governed
by just the same averages, and are
mauaged by men of experience and
judgment. The averages upon which
they are based are just as unerring as
the laws of gravitation ”
There lias been disbursed in relief
claims up to the present time the sum
of over $40,000, and made a division
of over $(>00,090 among its members,
and the order is now the largest and
strongest of its character iu the coun
try. At least 90 percent.of the mem
here receiving their endowment renew
their certificates, which uo such favor
ahle percentage is maintained in any of
the older insurance companies. “Dur
ing the lirst sixteen mouths of our ex
istence,” says President Davey, “we
have thus far fulfilled every obligation
incumbent upon us as an order, we
have endeavored to conform to the
statues made and provided for our gov
ernment, we have never screened our
selves from the eyes of criticism, never
dodged the blows of antagonists, have
always courted investigation from lion
est seekers after truth, and have been
iu the largest measure successful ”
