The train on the Covington and Macon

the band ataod in the park, Captain John

the cit;. He was responded to b; Itev. O
A. Thrower, of Monticello, who thanked
the committee in fitting terms.
After a short rest, Mr. George A. Smith
took charge of the children and soon had
them as happy as if the; were in their own
bailiwick. There were games in which the
older peoplo were drawn, and which the;
seemed to enjoy, and by amusement that
could bo devised. .Macon has a number of
Jasper connty residents, and the; went
down and met their friends and relatives,
and then some of the people strayed op
town to see more of the sights than were
prominent at the park, and so the time
passed until -the dinner hour was an
MMll The nod matrons who bm

BUD MITCHELL KILLED.
THE STATE FAIB.
A Well Known Engineer After Miraculous
Escapes Finally Dies on the Bail,
A telegram was received yesterday by Ur.
Bam Hoge, master of train tervioe, that Mr.
A. W. Mitchell, better known as Bad
Mitchell, conductor on the Colambns dlvis
ion, had been killed. The Information ai
to the accident was quite meagre, knt trom
all thBt can be learned the particulars are
abont as follows: Mr. Uitohell left Msoon
with bis train at 7 o'olock yesterday morn
Ing. Ho was dne at Joniper at 232 in the
afternoon. After leaving Jnnlper and whin
between the 75th and 70th mile past, the
ear next the cab j ntuped the track and carried
the car with it It fell over and Mr. Mitchell
either fell oat or jumped oat and was osqght
by the car as It wss turnsd over and crushed
to death.
At a late h- nr tho body had not been re
moved Irom the wreck. The remalna will
be bronght to Macon on the earl; train doe
here at 0 o'olock, bqt which may be delayed
for the pnrpoae as the remains will be taken
to Colambns to be prepared for hnrlai
The funeral will take place from the real-
^•nce on Elm street at ^ o'clock this after
noon.
SobYethlng over a year ago Mr. Mitchell
was an engineer on the Southwestern rail
road, and wss qnite popular as a runner all
along the line. Ooe night bis engine struck
a rail that some fiend had placa l across the
traok, and the rail in some way was thrown
into the cab with terrifio violence, striking
him on the head. He was so badly injured
that It was thought that to live was a mat
ter of impoe-ilbilUy. For several days bis
death was looked for at any moment,
but to everybody's surplus bs lived,
bat the Injury left him with only one eye
and a frighlfal scar on the head and face.
Vi’heu he bad eo far recovered that he
conld get abont, he was given a conductor's
plaoe on the Columbus line, whioh he held
up to the time of his death. He leaves a
wifs aud two children.
Funeral of Mr. Mitchell.
The remains of Mr. A W. Mi'.chell ar
rived in Macon yesterday morning at six
o’clock, and were met by a number of bis
friends. It wss learned that while descend
ing from the upper part of the c,b he wai
crashed by the tracks breaking through
the floor of the car. He was badly braised
abont the bead and body and one of his
arms was broken.
The fnnerai took place in the afternoon
and was largely attended. The servioee
were conducted by Bev. W. C. Lovett, of
the First Street Mc-tbodiat Church. The fol
lowing were the pall-bearers: Msssra. Wi
ley Wagnon, Wii.y Arden, H. L. Stanley,

A. Ban.
It IVss Not Our Kltupsou.
In the Tri.xoaaVH's Atlanta correspond
enoa mention is made in tho report of the
convict investigation of Whipping Boss
Kiu-pvin, une of the boss* s of the J.uu s
camp. AsCapt. J. A Simpson, of Mvcon,
was st one time employed by the peniteo
tiary Issues, and aa no initials are given it
might tie inferred that he was the S.mpaon
referred to. He asks that it be said tint ne
is not the Simpaou, was never employed by
T.L. Jamas, but was with Capt. J. W.
English anl Cel. Sunt,, both of whom
always commended his conns tovarJ the
prisoners, and was also Cumplimented by
Col. Towers, the principal lm-tper of the
penitentiary.
A Cliat with Superintendent Nlsbet About
What Is Being Done.
General Superintendent Kisbet was in
town Saturday and tarnished some informo-
ti .n a* to the coming State fair. He is the
viee-pn aident of the National Trotting
Association, and has recently appointed Mr.
Cbas. Collier of Atlanta, snd Msj. W. A
Wilkes of Burke connty, as a board of re
view from Georgia.
Msj. Wilkes has already secured twenty
stalls at tbo park for bis display of fine
horses, and be will also send some other
fine animals from his stock-farm.
A note was received Saturday from Col.
John B. Gorman of Talbotton, saying that
Talbot oonnty would be fairly in tbs oon-
test for county premiums. There are now
eight counties on the list, and the display
they make will be a show that sbonld be
Seen by the people of the North and West.
Since the Isst report forty applications
have been received from chicken men all
over the oonntry for coops. It is now qnite
certain that this feature of tho fair will be
the largest and finest display of chickens
ever seen in the South.
Two Atlanta men have recently seonred
space for displays, one for machinery and
one for meronant’s displays.
Superintendent Nisbet has in view some
changes in tbo affairs on the grounds that
will add mnoh to the general appearance of
things. There are to be no more rough
plank booths h. atily gotten np for the oc
casion, bat neat booths and pavilions
that will be attractions instead of eye
sores.
In the way of amusements ho will have
more than ever on the ground before and of
a mnob higher ebarsoter. Heretofore tbo
tent shows, with the exoeptioo of the Bat
tle of Gettysburg, have been merely side
shows detaohed from some ten-ent circus.
This year they will be first-class or they
oannot show on the grounds. In this en
deavor Snperintendent Nlsbet will receive
the endorsement of every visitor.
During the coming week Captain B. J.
Powell will visit Macon, and with Superin
tendent Nubst will make arrangements for
advertising.
It is reported that at the annual meeting
of the society, which meets in convention
in August, Colonel Liviogston will not be a
candidate for re-eleotion to tbe presidency;
that Colonel W. J. Northcn, of Hancock,
will succeed him. This Information, how
ever, is based only on rnmor.
Secretary Grier is receiving applications
for space all over the entire country, aa well
as letters indicating that the park will bo
one vast store houso of attractions.
All About » Hen.
Editors Tkoiobapii: I see a great deal in
tho papers lately about hens, their remark
able size, their beautiful plumage, eta Now
I have a hen that fills the bill and comes
up to the scratch tbe best of any hen I ever
■aw.
Shotsnota miighty henasfaraseizsgocs.
Neither is she a ben of brilliant plumage,
bnt she Is not a hen to be laid on the table
for all that. Speaking of laying, therein
lies her gift. She emerged from her shell
in April, '86, and late in September com
menced laying. She made a daily offering
of hen frnlt nntil tho middle of N vember,
missiog a day occasionally, when the would
oomo to the front the next day with a don-
blejyolker. After a rest of a few wicks I
decided tbe had made her another nest and
followed her np nntil 1 found her
neat of thirteen eggs. I abstracted |t part
of them, and she continued tho good Fork
for several weeks longer.
Early in April she went on duty again,
snd has continued her task of one egg dally
■ ver ni: iv, mill mill ill- po »1 work ii g..ing
on, with never s word abont setting, Sho
takes her daily rations of corn and osts
with an occasional scrap of fresh meat,
gratefully.
Now if any of the “Poultry and Bench
Association' 1 have a hen that can beat that
they have got something that will do to
oackle over.
