THE WEEKLY TELEGRAFTI AND MESSENGER, FRIDAY, AUGUST 8. 1884.
A FUNERAL INSTEAD OF A WEODINC.
The Tragic Ending of a Bright and Prom
ising Romance.
A recent issue of theColumbas F.nguirtr-
Sun announces tbe death in that city o
Jlisa Georgia A. Law. Tbe sad event oc
curred last Thursday evening at 7 o'clock,
after a brief illness of nine days. Tbe
death of thia young lady, so bright and
promising, is enveloped in a chapter of
pathetic Incidents, and possesses an inter
est at once mournful and touching.
For years Miss Law has been an ac
knowledged favorite in the social circles of
our fair sistet city. Being possessed of a
sprightly mind, and a character pure and
shining, she soon drew around her a large
circle of admiring friends. Wherever she
went, and in'whatever circles she moved,
she was beloved and respected alike for her
many graces and accomplishments. She
had just touched the point of developed
womanhood, and imited with her mental
characteristics, the beauty of an almost
perfect physical development.
About a vear ago she left home to visit
some friends and relatives in a neighltoring
eection. Tbe visit was extended, during
which time she met a young man, who
was not slow to recognize those qualities
which we have just described. The young
man in question was well-to-do and united
in himself many oi those virtues that are
desirable in life—young, handsome and
iMLtctive, lie combined with these sobriety
and integrity and a necessary share of the
goods of this world.
It was soon discovered that thereexisted
between the two an unusual congeniality,
which seemed to ripen and thrive nnder
the influence of a more extended acquaint
ance. It was not long before tbe visit of
Miss Georgia came to an end, and she re
turned home.
Tbe suspicion that existed before with
regard to the attachment that was sup
posed to exist between them was soon veri
fied. The young man, the hero of onr
story, made frequent visits to tbe home of
Mias Law. and soon there was whispered
something of an engagement. February
last she paid another visit to iter friends
and received undivided attention from her
betrothed, whose admiration was aa deep
as it was genuine.
Unlike the usual course of true love,
which is said to be auything but smooth,
affairs moved along nicely, and the day for
the celebration of the nuptials was soon
arranged. Preparations for a happy mar
riage were all fixed, including the usual
trip afterwards. The day appointed was
last Wednesday, tbe 39 h of July. The
young man, who was in Gainesville on a
business mission, wrote to his friend, who
was to accompany him to the home of his
intended, to meet him in this city Tuesday
morning. From here thiy were to go to
Columbus to be present the next day, tbe
time appointed for the ceremony.
Accordingly his friend met him, and
Tuesday morning they took their depart
ure for the scene of tbe happy occasion.
Bolb were in high spirits, and anticipated
, much happiness anu pleasure. Little they
■ knew then to what disappointment they
were doomed. They arrived in due time
in Columbns, and were met at the train by
the brother of the young lady, who con
veyed tbe sad intelligence of her sickness.
Ni tiling serious was apprehended, how
ever, as tbe malady was not considered
necessarily fatal, and it was thought that
everything would in due t me work out all
right.
In the afternoon of the day on which lie
arrived, the yonng man paid a visit to the
home of his afHauced, and was permitted
to see her on her bed of sickness. A touch
ing and lengthy interview followed, in
which their plans and prospects were dis
cussed, and the marriage postponed until
the following Tuesday. He leftthe house
cheerful, believing that all his hopes of
bspplness would yet be realized.
From the moment he left the house,
however, Miss Law continued to grow
worae, and the next summons he received
was to call him to her death-bed. Tbe
scene around the dyiDg bed ii descrilicit
by the papers, and those who witnessed
it, as exceedingly touching and heart
rending. The EnquirerSun says: “There
stood the grief-stricken family and the in
tended groom, watching in agony
tbe yonng Ufa ebb out.
which they gladly would have
laid down thiir own to save. But
death had marked her for Ita victim, and
all the skill of pbvaiciana, the tender care
of loved onca and kind friends, and the
agonizing prayers of those who bowed
around her bed, were.o( no avail. She
would have lived that others might be
happy, but abe meekly eubmltted to the
will of Him whom she had always loved
from her childhood, and peacefully closed
her oyes, and fell asleep in Jeans.’’
The funeral, which was one of the lar-
■Mt that ever occurred In Columbus, took
place Friday afternoon from tbe First Bap
tist church. Sunday afternoon's train
brought the wretched yonng man to Ma
con, where he was joined by hie friend,
who had preceded him. They left hut
night on the Atlanta train, both aaddened
by the presence of a bitter fate.
The young man, lowborn we bare so
frequently alluded in this article is well-
known in Macon, and baa a large circle of
friends and acquaintances over tbe State,
who will regret to learn of tbe ltd be
reavement that baa befallen him. lilt in-
ltlals are AUen W. Janes, and those who
know him know that a more upright, de
serving gentlemen never claimed the love
of a lady or the friendship of a gentleman.
We have dwelt upon this slory because
we thought the general acquaintance of
those concerned tn it would possess It with
a tad. peculiar Interest, and for the addi
tional rtaaon that we believed a story more
tender hes never met tbe oubUc'e eye.

MAJOR BILL ANDERSON'S HORSES.
A Trio o( Trotters Who Will Soma Day
Astonish the People.
Our reporter spent an h iur yesterday at
the elegant stables of Major W. F. Ander
son, in the rear of bis residence in Vine-
ville. Wc were carried out by Mr. Gua
Stewart, who drove a gray mare of Wilkes
pedis ree, and tbe li a strong, fleet stepper
No whip was necessary to coax her along,
and one word of enconragement caused
her to rattle over tbe street as if she really
enjoyed a chance of an airing.
Few men are more devoted to horses
than Major Anderson. He loves them,
and this fact ia evidenced by tbe elegant,
well ventilated stables he has put up for
them. Tbe building Is of brick, with a
ventilated root similar to that of a sleep
ing car. The floor is of brick, and ia kept
as clean as a dining-room floor, ft has a
harness room, a bed room for the trainer,
hay and bran bins. There are four stalls
10x12 and two 12x12, and these latter are
so arranged that there can be no
communication with the other stalls.
This is done in case a
horse should be sick, when these
rooms serve as hospitals. The size of the
stalls give a horse all the room he wants,
and are much easier to keep clean.
Upon the walla of tbe office, or large
room wherein Is kept the sulkiei, one sees
lithographs of some of the fastest flyers of
the turf, and a photograph of the famous
Joe Bunker, with whom the majority of
our readers are familiar. On one wall
were fifty varieties ot horse hoots to tit any
sort of halt, limp or gait, and some of
them cost as much as $12 per pair. These,
as well as several varieties ot harness, are
selling off surplus land, the employment of kept in good oVder and oiled trom time to
fewer laborers and use ot mute improved time by Nat, the hostler.
agricultural implements. He recommend
ed tbe use of the disc harrow. Dr. Stevens
stated that he had adopted the above ideas
and made one hundred percent, more now
than he did seven or eight years ago, and
cleared 20 per cent, everyyearon the value
of hia lands, stock, implements, etc., over
and above all expenses on his farm o’ five
hundred acres in Lee county. His speech
was so well received that he was reques ed
to write it out for the Southern Cultivator.
President Nisbet was called upon to ex
plain his plan of gathering cotton, and in
a few very interesting remarks stated tnat
he had for years abandoned the use of the
expensive and cumbersome old-fashioned
white-oak split baskets, and used osnaburgs
or Macon sheeting, sewed in sheets about
the size of bed sheets, to hold
tbe cotton as picked. The
sheets were spread in the center or at
the end of the row, and the bags emptied
as filled by the pickers. The cotton thus
had an opportunity to be dried of the
dewa and rains by action of tbe sun and
evaporation. The filled sheets were more
easily carried on the shoulders and in wag
ons, the four corners being lied together.
The plan was indorsed by the club, and
Mr. Nisbet was requested to address a
communication to the "Young Farmers’
Club” column ot tbe Southern Cultivator,
giving its advantages. White oak baskets
last only one year, while the sheets will
last several years, if taken care of. and
can be used for many other purposes.
Committees were appointed to examine
and report at September meeting, upon
craps of J, K, Jonnston and M. P. Hol
man.
Secretary Bass is now absent in Florida.
Mrs. R. E. Bowman ia quite sick.
Mr. F. M. Johnson has torn down and
is rebuilding his residence near the rail
road, and nearer to Holton. He has 130
acres of good land to rent or sell.

Whose Horse.
Yesterday morning a negro offered tj
sell Mr. Ben Jones in East Macon a horse
for $75. He dropped from that amount to
313 and said the horse belonged to bia
father who had sent him to town to sell it.
Mr Jones said be would give the horse a trial
and getting on him rode over to Davis'/

One of the sulkies is that which Rosa
Wilkes pulled over the track in 2:18%.
Rosa Wilkes was a special pet of Major

a record which caused her rale last year
to a Boston man for $11000. Tbe Major

our reporter risked himself behind Gas
Stewart’s thoroughbred.
"Nat, show Tom Harold to the gentle
men!" *
And Nat brought out the gray. He is a
half brother to Maud S„ who made her
mile last Saturday at Cleveland, Ohio, in
2:09%. Tom Is a gray gelding, was foaled
in 1391, and is therefore a three-year-old.
He was sired by Harold, sire of Maud 8.
first dam Belle Ericsson, by Ericsson,
sire of Doble; second dam by Vandal, a
thoroughbred ; third dame by Pilot. He
was broken to harness this spring, and he
gives promise of a tine record.
Nat next brought out a sorrel filly, Fan
nie Ross. This colt was foaled in 1832 and
sired by Red Wilkes. First dam by Shel
by Chief, (sire of Rolls); second dam
Myra, by .Marion, thoroughbred son of
Lexington; third dam Florae by imported
Mickey Free. Fannie Ross is a two-year-
old, and Is a halt sister ot Phil Thompson,
who made his mile in 2:10% and won tbe
purse at Saturday's races at Cleveland, She
was broken a little last November, but en
joyed a breathing spell until last Monday,
when Nat gave her a tarn around Major
Anderson's privste mile track In Vinevlll*.
She is extremely awkward now, but be
haves well tor tbe little service she baa
done in the shafts.
, “Jessie Wilkes" was the next colt brough
out of her luxurious stall. She is a bay
filly, amall star in face, two white feet be
hind and a little white on heel of left fore
foot. She was foaled In tbe spring of 1882,
sired by George Wilkes, first dam by Look
out. sire ot Keen Jim. She it a half sister
to Harry Wilkes, who won the poise in
Saturday's races at Cleveland, making bis
mile in 2:20%.
Both of tbeae colts are beauties in the
way of horseflesh. Jeseie has on her first
shoes, and she baa vet to feel the harnese
on tier back. She •- Is*, aa awkward
aa a girl with her first long dress, and yet.
terdajr she didn't seem to know whether to
back or go forward when Nat clucked and
tried to lead her with the heller.' 1
“These bones cost you considerable
money, Major?”
“Yes, bnt the horse 1 paid the most
money for is not here. She la pasturing
in Kentucky and I'll not take neraway
until next fall.”
Tbe co't referred to la a yearling named
Lizzie Medium.” She la bay. amall atar,
right hind leg white and right forefoot
white to ankle. She wae aired by Happy
Medium; first dam Aliena, by Almont;
second dam Bello Goddard, by Mambrino
Chief; third dam Woodtord llclle, by Mir-
ahean, son of Medoc, he by American
Eclipse, eon ot Dnroc, son of Imported
Diomed. Major Andereon la thoroughly
in love with this colt, and thtnka aha will
make a startling record.
"1 want to show you a Georgia horse
now," said tbe Major, as be directed
Nat to bring out "Captain
Raoul.” Thia horse came trom Griffin,
and la seven yeari old. He was sired by
Kimball Jackson, and has no record as
yet. He ia a tine stepper, and when he
geta regularly on the turf wilt do some ex
cellent work.
The public will not have an opportunity
of seeing these fine horses for some time,
except at tbe State fair, when they may be
exhibited. They will be broken and
trained on the Major'! own track until
they are ready to receive the plaudit* of

Wiley baa written to the Governor to have
the election ordered, after which the com

Cholera and Cowardice.
London Lancet
It is a most deplorable proof of the
weakness of human nature that
it is at all times prone to fall into nstate
of panic when brought face to face
with the inevitable. We must all die,
and we are not ignorant of this our des
tiny ; nevertheless, the instant a dan
ger to life is recognized, we fly from the
peril with the impetuous haste of crazy
and cowardly creatures, forgetfut alike
of duty and decency. It is
vain to argue in favor of self-posses
sion. Philosophy has no charm for,
nor power over, the man who impul
sively turns his back to the enemy.
Nothing we < ould urge would have the
slightest weight witii the multitude bent
on escaping from the ports and cities
which are just now supposed to be rife
with the infection of cholera. These
flying crowds, on safety all intent, must
be left to their own devices. It is man
ifest that they will spread the malady,
and it is scarcely less certain that they
will, many of them at least, lose their
lives in trying to save them.
With regard to theso matters, how
ever, it is useless to speak. Suffice it
to point out that, although in the pres
ence of an epidemic of cholera there is
always and unquestionably some per-
srnal peril of contracting thedieense,
it is by no means certain that this is
increased by remaining in association
with the sick, or that the danger is to
be avoided by running away. During
severe epidemics it has been noticeable
that' the mortality has not been by
any means greatest in the very center,
so to say of the disease. In tlio hos
pitals and among the cholera patients
scattered throughout the population,
medical officers and nurses have gone
about doing their duty with no greater
mortality than that ot those who have
kept aloof. Indeed, it is probable that
a certain amount of immunity from
disease has been enjoyed by those who
have not feared the danger of infec
tion.
The great secret of success in want
ing off disease is the preservation of
health. We mean that if, heedless of
danger, men and women do thoir duty
to those around them—keeping up a
cheerful temper and a trusty spirit,
neither abusing the good things of life
nor avoiding them, in short, living as
ail should live, whether in the midst
of a healthy population or in the pres
ence of an epidemic—they have a far
better chance of escaping disease than
by falling into a state of panic and
"hastening to leave.” The true policy
is to kill die germs oljthe disease on the
spot, whether they be in the water or
in the air. Every particle of the dejecta
should be destroyed—not limply de
odorized, but destroyed by a powerful
agent capable of burning up organic
material. Thia should be done at once
and instantly on the spot, not merely
with the choleraic, but with every pa
tient who may have diarrhcea, whether
specific or simple. If this be done, and
the general sanitary conditions and the
average health of tho community
looked to, there is no peril that need
scare any one out of ids or her solier
senses in an epidemic of cholera eitiier
on the continent or at home.

THE VIENNA INSTITUTE—TltE CLOSING
EXERCISES or A PROSPEROUS SCHOOL.
August 5.—The commencement ex
ercises of Vienna Institute, last Wed
nesday and Thursday, attracted the
largest crowd seen in this place in
years. Every portion of the county
wss represented, and numbers were in
attendance from neighboring counties.
For several years past Vienna has been
sadly deficient in educational facilities,
and no donbt this fact had its influence
in retarding the growth of the place.
Last winter the citizens determined to
hsv» a school, and a movement waa in
augurated which resulted in the erec
tion of a splendid school edifice on a
beautiful lot near the centre of tho
town, lionght for the purpose. Prof.
John II. Brantly, u veteran educator
of acknowledged ability, was given
charge of the school, which was opened
March 24th (after all neigldMriiig
schools were under full headway), with
an attendance of thirty-five, which rap
idly increased to sixty-three. The ex
ercises of Wednesday last consisted of
recitations by the various classes,
whose proficiency in their studies was
put to a severe test by the close and
thorough examination of the teacher,
assisted by the board of trustee* and
County School Commissioner Swearin
gen. The manner in which the
examinations were made precluded
the possibility of any collusion between
teacher and pupil, the questions being
taken at random and irregularly. Dur
ing the two days 1,H09 questions were
propounded and cxampleifgiven and
only twenty-one were missed. This
speaks volumes for the untiring energy
