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. POLITCAL GOSSIP* UP AT HOLTON. Meeting of the Formers' Club on Satur day, and Other Items. At 3 o'clock Saturday Holton farmers’ Club was called to order by President It, .'.Tibet, Mr. B. E. Bowman acting as secretary. Among others the following gentlemen were present, Meters. C. W. Howard, J. W. Myrick, R. E. Park, J. W. T. Howard, Joseph K. Johnston, R. E. Benson, J. U. Drake, William F. Holt, Jr., and Dr. J. P. 8teven». Dr. Stevens and Messrs. Benson and Holt were elected members of the club. Messrs. R. A. Nisbet, J. K. Johnston and E. R, Price were elected delegates to repre sent the club at the State Agricultural con vention, to be held at Rome August 12th. Tlfe hour of meeting was changed from 3 p. m. to 9 o’clock a. in. in fnlure. On motion of Vlce-PresidentC. W. How ard, the club resolved to enter the contest for the best club display at the approach ing State fair in October. C. W. Howard was elected superintendent and manager of the club exhibit, and the following committee appointed to canvass for arti cles to be displayed and to assist tbe su perintendent, viz: J. K.

The premium offered is one hundred dollars, and Holton Club proposes to win it. The regularly chosen speaker being ab sent, by request Dr. J. P. Stevens, of Ma con, entertained the club very highly in a brief address upon the best methods to make farming profitable. He advocated heavy fertilization of smaller areas of land. 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. The Holton hotel Is now ready for sum mer or transient boarders. p 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'/ stables and telephoned his suspicions to the police barracks. Col. Wiley te'epboned back to officer Dpc Fennell to arrest the man and then tent officer Murphv to as sist him. They arrested the negro and he R ve hie name as Willie Garner, and said was from Haddock’s station, Tbe police made Inquiries of the persona with whom he had talked and found that WilUe had not told the same story all around. He was therefore locked up, and Col. Wiley is now awaiting a reply to his note from Haddock'* Officer Murphy is confident the horse is stolen. and Negro Labor in the South,'' by 8. H.

Address Dr*. Starkey A l’alen, 1100 and till Girard street, Philadelphia. One of the sulkies is that which Rosa Wilkes pulled over the track in 2:18%. Rosa Wilkes was a special pet of Major Anderson It was his great care and bis trainer's (Cook's) skill that gave the mare a record which caused her rale last year to a Boston man for $11000. Tbe Major parted with the mare with a sigh Her picture adorns the walls of his residence. Last fall he went to Kentucky to replace Kosa and to pnt other horses in his stable. He purchased three colts, after looking at them gambol on tbe blue grass award, and tne flrat, agray gelding, was received here last March, the other two arriving the other day. It was to see these. colts that 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 have ordered the election of officers. Col. Wiley baa written to the Governor to have the election ordered, after which the com missions will be made. —We have received a catalogue of Mer cer University for 1883-84.

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.

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.
