By request we reproduce the fol lowing from the Times and News of Eufaula, Ala., concerning the recent death of Mr. W. B. Powers, whose wife, nee Miss Julia Hill, was reared in^Honston county, near Perry. “Under the direction of Mr. W. B. Powers, Supervisor of the M. & E. and E. & O. division of the Cen tral of Georgia Railway, some ditch ing was being done on the yard at Union Springs, and he left Eufaula Tuesday afternoon. Wednesday af ternoon an extra work train, assist ing in this work; switched onto a side track for the passenger train to pass on the main line. Mr. Powers was standing on the rear end of the caboose, when a sudden putting on of brakes threw him to the ground and before he could get up, the car lunged back, the wheels passing over the middle of his body, which was horribly mangled. * * * “Mr. Powers came to Eufaula two and a half years ago, and by his in tegrity and genial personality made many warm friends. His interesting family—wife and three beautiful youg children, father and mother— became identified with the city so cially, and their friends are numer ous. This terribly sad dispensation which takes from them’in such a hor rible manne.t, husband, father, son, has cast a gloom over the entire city. He was about 35 years old, in the 'full flush of prosperous manhood. “The remams were carried to Ma con, Ga., for interment. Superin tendent Hall sent his private car to carry the family. Mr. and Mrs. Ezel and Miss Hill, sisters of Mrs. Pow ers, came in this car from Macon, returning with the family” Colored Mutual Aid Society. At Macon last week 300 delegates of this society from all sections of the state assembled in annual meet ing. Of the societyjthe Macon Tele graph says: “This society has its own coffin factory. The members pay 10 cents a month, and are entitled to help during sickness and a decent burial at death. Out of their own funds they estabbshed their own factory at LaGriange, where is made all the coffins used. Formerly these were purchased of undertakers, but the members were dissatisfied with the make and price, and concluded to manufacture their owp^ “The society is now endeavoring to organize a cotton factory compa ny among the members, and the en terprise is under way.” On Thursday evening, July 11, at 3 o’clock, the angel cf death visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. W. English, of Powersville, and took their darling, Sadie Maud. She had been confined to her bed only about three days, with scarlet fever. Sadie Maud was only three years old, and was the light of her home. All was done for her that could be done by her devoted parents,, rela tive's and a skillful physician, but God took her to rest. The remains were brought to Wellston, where the burial took place at 9 o’clock Friday morning. Oh! how she will be missed by her loving parents. But look up to the Creator and iet him fill your life. To the bereaved family the sin- cerest sympathy is cordially extend ed. Farewell, fhongh ever so dear, Thou hast left us all behind; Thv memory will be always new Until the end of time. Wellston, Ga. M. W. One of the best yields of wheat-we have heard of in Hous ton this year is that of Mr. W. C. Lewis, at Havana. He harvested 1464 bushels from 6 acres. On the six acres he used §30 worth of fer tilizer and planted 6 bushels of wheat. ' _ Mrs. M. C. Hook leaves home 1 thiq afternoon for a trip through Q Macon district m offi- cial cSioity as secretary of the Woman’s Home Mission Society of the M. E. Church, South, for this district. The Register, of Mobile, Ala:, ar gues that the Chinese exclusion act should be repealed, and that south ern congressmen should work to that end for the benefit of southern agriculture. The contention is that the labor situation is so entirely un satisfactory that it would greatly benefit the south to displace the sniftless and unreliable negroes with Chinese laborers. The Atlanta News combats the suggestion with the declaration,-based upon the experi ence of California and other sections where the Chinese have been in large numbers, that the Chinese are worse than negroes, and that to make the change would be like “jumping out of the flying pan into the fire.” —Mr. M.

Tnis will give the citizens of Perry an drvicinity a re re opportunity of having their EYE SIG-HT TESTED FREE by one of the most renowned and successful as well as reliable Opticians in the U. S. Mr. Hawkes has the modem appliances for the scientific adjustment of glasses to the eye. There is no optician in the U. S. who enjoys the confidence of the people more than Mr. Hawkes. His name is a familiar word throughout a sec tion of country inhabited by over twenty-five millions of people. Mr. Hawkes has probably adjusted glasses to the eyes of more people of national and interna tional fame than any other Optician living. This firm was established in 1870. EYE STRAIN is often the cause of hea lache, dizziness, nervousness and dimness of vision. This can be cured in many cases by the correct fitting of his Crystal lenses to the eye. Call early; he positively remains but three days, as he has other engagements for later dates. CAUTION.—I would caution the public against buying spectacles from ped dlers, going from house to house with a lot of spectacles, representing them to be Hawkes’ or selling the same grade of goods. Hawkes’ Spectacles are NEVER peddled. Many of the inferior glasses that flood tho country are positively injuri ous to the eye. Prom Ex-President of U. S., Grover Cleveland. Executive Mansion, Washington, Dec. 2,1895. A. K. Hawkes, Esq.—My Dear Sir: I find your Cry stalized Lenses well suited to my eyes for far seeing.
