Sunday morning: about II o’clock
there approached the home of a Negro
family who live on Mr. T. N. Wool
folk’s place, two and a half miles
north of the olty, a white woman, ap
parently twenty-three or four years of
age, who bore In her arms the emnol
ated, drooping form of a little girl,
who was so poor and weak as to be
soarcely able to twine Its arms about
its mother's neck to better support it
self.
Before she came near the house, the
mother was seen to approach a pile of
pine straw that had been rudely drawn
together under the spreading shade of
a large tree, and after inovingsl thick
green bough, to take up the form of
the child, where it hnd lain for a long
while.
She requested that the tenants allow
her the use of a bed for her child to
rest upon, until it should grow better
and be able to travel. The request
was grnuted; but, in the evening,
while the sun was drawing slowly to
wards the western horizon and oool
breezes fanned the woods and fields
without, the innoo nt soul of the child
took Its flight to realms of lasting
peace and rest.
Perhaps the mother loved the child;
all mothers do, ’tis said, but there was
none of that tenderness of heart there
that makes 'the soul cry out when
those we love depart. The mother
showed no signs or grief. The little
dead body was covered with a faded
oloth, and little more was done, noth
ing said.
The facts of the case became known
in Albany, and a jury was empaneled
by Coroner Grandson Winn Monday
morning to make investigation, for it
seemed to be the opinion of several
who had scon the woman, that she had
killed the child through neglect, and
by compelling it to walk in Its siokly,
weak condition. She had been seen by
different parties hanging around the
edge of the city for several days, but
no one inquired her bus.ness or asked
wiium'Wir'Buuj,..-.....——
She gives sevcr.al names—Mathis,
Teasley, and others; tells different
tales about how she came to be in Al
bany, but claims to hail from Dawson.
Her repute is not spotless, though she
is not well known in Albany. She is
without either olothes or money, and
is indeed to be pitied.
Sunday night Bhe was not allowed to
leavo the Woolfolk plantation, though
she deolared her intention of seeing
tbe child decently buried, and did not
seem desirous of getting away.
After deliberating for over two
hours, tbe jury returned a verdict to
the effect that the child had died from
exposure and lack of attention, the
fault of Its mother.

A VERY WINDY HAD HATH
When Old Mir Dorcas Whistled and Ike
Dun! Rode the Air.
In the newspapers of Saturday,
there appeared predictions from diff
erent weather bureaus, to tbe effeot
that a severe storm would pass up the
ooast of tbe South Atlantio States on
yesterday, Sunday.
Persons who read these accounts
were very forcibly reminded of them
when tbe wind began to rise in its
might, yesterday morning, and, grad
ually inoreasing from a cool soothing
breeze, rose to a steady whistling
wind, that was highly calculated to
turn every mail’s fur the wrong way,
>0 to speak.
That a storm was, or had been in
progress on tbe Atlantio and probably
in tbe gulf, was very evident, but tnat
it was a severe one all felt sure on ac
count of the strong, steady rush of air
to the southwest to flit the vacuum
oreated by the blow from that quarter.
Many thought the Equinox at hand,
so constant and lasting was tbe com
motion in the air. Not until the early
hours of morning was there an abate
ment of the blow, and all to-day a stiff
breeze that shows the storm to be still
bolding its influence, has continued to
fan tbe face of the earth.
Thx recent new ordinance of tbe
City Council, making it a misde<
meanor for any one to Circulate false
rumors about yellow fever has had
tbe desired effeot; and now, when'a
fellow lets his tongue slip he is very
careful “to take It back’’ on tbe spot.
Thb farmer who brings in four or
five nice, fat hogs and a few bushels
of corn will receive a larger batch of
bank notes than the one who fetches
into the city a bale of cents cotton,
a few dozen eggs and an old setting
hen. And tbe reason is very plain.

Flora Quick Mundls, alias “Tom
King,” the noted horse thier of Okla
homa territory, who has gained such
an unenviable notoriety, is well known
in this locality, says a letter train
Holden, Mo. She is about ID years old
and a daughter of the late Daniel
Quick, a wealthy farmer who died
three years ago, leaving an estate or
2,40(1 acres cf land and about $13^000
worth of personal property. This es
tate was situated ten miles south of
Holden on Big Creek. Mr. Quick was
honorable In his dealings, but rough
and uncouth in his every day life. He
was married twice and had fifteen
children, bIx dying in their infancy
and nine surviving, six boys and three
girls. Several of these are now resid

Johnson eounty, respected by neigh

Flora was the youngest daughter of
the last wife and wns a favorite of her
father. She was a splundjd rider, full
of nerve and energy, and assisted her
father in heeding cattle and at other
duties. At the age of 14 she was sent
to the llolden College, but remained
only a few weeks. Confinement was
too muoh for her, and she went home
and resumed her outdoor life on the
farm, and continued this mode
of living until her father’s death.
Soon after that event the ad
ministrator, her half brother, sent her
to Sedalio to school, where she re
mained only one term. She was rest
less, and about this time became ac
quainted with Ora Mundis, whoso
prinoipal object seemed to be to get
her estate. She married him against
the opposition uf her brothers and sis
ters. The oouple resided here about
three months. During tilts time they
led a fast life, and it was nothing un
usual to see them together night after
night in the saluons drinking. From
this plaoe they left for the Indian ter
ritory in a covered wagon, ostensibly

sold their farm. When they came
baok both had a small armory on their
persons, but were not allowed to wear
them by the Marshal. Mundis and his
wife said to Borne of their former ac
quaintances that they were bad peo
ple, and were not to be trifled with.
After this they departed for the Okla
homa country, and have since lived a
oheokered life.

“Dear Mr. Kuditker:
“Will you please give us your ideas
of a son’s duty to Ills mother, at your
earliest convenience, and greatly
oblige many of your readers and ad
mirers?”
I will, with the greatest pleasure.
To love and oherlsb, above all else,
is a boy’s duty to his mother.
There should, at no time, be a single
soul dearer to tbe heart of a son than
the sonl of his dear old mother.
No one should ever be fairer or more
beautiful to his eyes.
A boy that loves and honors his
mother, will, in nine cases out of ten,
make some woman a mighty good
hUBband.
The boy that negieots his mother, he
that neglects ever so small, will, in
nine oases ont of tan, negleot bis wife
and ebildren in after years.
No one is entitled to more consider
ation at the hands of a boy than his
mother.
The older a boy’s mother grows, tbe
more attention he should show her,
and the more tender love he should
manifest,
Nothing makps the life of a good old
mother, tottering with age and suffer
ing with the infirmities of life, bright
er or lighter than the tender love and
affection of a strong son, radiant with
tbe energy of manhood and the bright
hopes of a long life before him.
Boys, don’t forget mother. Don’t
trample her heart under your feet.
Make her happy. There’* nothing too
good for her. She will not be with
you muoh longer, maybe. Hake ber

One Night's Experience In the Fever
Mtrtaken C’liy.
Tuesday evening’s Brunswick
Times-Adverliser, which did not reach
us until this mornlug, brings the fol-
lowlug discript ion of the scene pre
sented by the people who were fleeing
from the yellow fever on Monday
night:
“There must have been fully six hun
dred people ’mid the rushing din at
the East Tennessee passenger station
lust night.
The writer, unaooustomed to suoh
scenes of panic, looked upon the mass
of humanity—old and palsied men and.
illations, youths and cooing babes—
with bewilderment. It was bo with
the coder heads too. There was a
perceptible sympathy evident on every
faoe that remained at home, for the
surging crowd that were to paok
themselves In the delnyed coaches.
When the train backed in, tile mad
rush wns made, the eoacbes not being
unlocked gray-haired women oiimbed
into windows over men’s shoulders,
some of the ooaohes being half filled
in (Ins manner. In one instance an
attempt was made to break down n
door, tile glass being shattered. As
soon as the doors were opened, the
ooaohes were jammed full.
When the train baoked into the sta
tion the steps struok.a pile of trunks,
demolishing several, and in falling
over, injured several persons.
Those who know were free in saying
they had rather risk Brunswick than
to undergo the tortures of suoh a jam.
From the number of trunks around
the station, one might have considered
the littlo olty depopulated.
A PATnKTIG INCIDKNT.
In the orowd of refugees last night
was ah old and enfeebled man, with a
little dog as his lone Companion.
When the inob was made for the train
be was crowded out, and upon learn
ing that his dog could not be in the
ooaoli by his side, he determined to re-
lance of forty miles. His companion
was the precious dog that he would
sacrifice ills own comfort for rather
than leave behind.

“Not many years ago,” says a writer
in the Philadelphia Record, “the
beauty of a woman's neck or arms was
of less Importance than It Is nuw.
True, every woman desires to be beau
tiful for her own sake, and so the girl
who has a prettily rounded nook ami
well-shaped arms felt an innocent
pleasure in them, and an equally iu-
nooent pride that the square pr tri
angle or neok revealed by her party
gowns and the bit of arm that showed
between elbow sleeves nnd gloves were
oomely to view. A great oliange has
been wrought by tile almost universal
fashion of low-neokod and short-
sleeved gowns. To bo a la mode- the
party-goer must wear them, and she
mourns with great mortifloation if her
throat Is long and has n ’salt-cellar’
conformation, if her shoulder blades
are painfully prominent and if her el
bows are slinrp nnd thin. The last
defect may be partially oonoenled by
long gloves that Join the shoulder-
strap and hang loosely enough to
leave room for the Imagination. The
shoulders nnd throat may, indeed, bo
veiled by gauze or lane, but in that
ease the low-neoked-gown is no longer
a low-necked gown, and while the
high-out costumes may do very well
for matrons and elderly maidens bare-
neok shoulders nre decreed to be
oomme il faut for buds and half-
blown roses. Tile best way to make
the arms and neok round, says a
writer in the ‘Bazar,’ is to increase the
plumpness of the entire figure by flesb-
produolng diet. Moreover, Inunotions
of oil are reoommendud by some pby-
siolans. These consist simply of ap
plications of olive oil rubbed Into the
skin by vigorous friotion, The oil Is
applied not only to the parts that
especially need filling out, but to the
entire body impartially, slnoe wlmt

oil is absorbed by the skin, wlilohthus
