ically the central figure at the Con

Orleans last Week. Whenever ho
appeared an ovation was given him,
and he was unanimously re-elected
commander-in-chief of the associa

most successful ever held, with a
larger number of veterans and other
visitors attending. The place for
the next reunion will be selested by

Dunbar School Closes.
With the most prosperous term in
its history the Dunbar school closed
last Friday afternoon, The chapel
•was filled to overflowing with the
patrons and visitors. The stage was
artistically decorated with stnilax,
bamboo and lovely roses. The pro
gramme, which was interspersed with
music, declamations, eto., was one
which delighted the audienoe and
gave‘the students a chance to dis
ctnduish themselves. Prof. Kilpat
rick was ably assisted by Mra. Kil-
ipatrick and Miss Mattie Pattishall,
who had charge of the musical part
of the programme. The programme
was excellent in every part, well ar
ranged and pleasingly exeouted. It
oaibraced 26 pieces, consisting of
vocal and instrumental music, reci
tations, motion songs, drills, eto.
Coder Prof. Kilpatrick’s manage
ment our school has greatly pros
pered. The enrollment at one time
‘reached 76, with a number of pupils
>froitn a distance, There have been
many enquiries from adjoining coun
ties in regard to entrance of pupils.
Mies Pattishall has also made an en
viable reputation as a music teacher,
and her pupils have largely oon trib
al ted to her success by their efforts.
Wo are glad to say Prof, and Mrs.
Kilpatrick will be with us another
year. Y.

A Representative, Not a Boss, Want-
. ed.
At this remote distance from the
fountain of political influence, it
seems to us that the trend of demo
cratic discussion is altogther per
sonal. Too much attention is devo
ted to the supposed ability of Cleve
land, Bryan, Parker, Hearst, etc., to
exeroise winning influence as a dem
ocratic candidate for the presidency
next year. Nothing is said relative
to the attitude of these gentlemen,
respectively, toward democratic prin
ciple and policy.
This is hitching the team wrong
end foremost There is time enohgh
to discuss candidates when the cam
paign policy has been outlined. The
fundamental principles need no ad
justment. When the policy has been
arranged, the man to suit that and
the principle will be forthcoming.
No man need place himself in the
pathway, nor need his friends pro
claim his merits.
Democracy is too great and true
to submit to the dictation of one
man, nor oan we afford to attempt
any trimming process to make it fit
a oandidate. The candidate must fit
the party; he must be the represen
tative of demooracy, not its boss.
Democracy does not need a boss
in any position, but men who truth
fully and earnestly represent demoo
racy in all positions. The oandidate
must accept ths dictates of the par
ty, instead of dictating to the party.
The oandidate must serve the party
instead of the party serving the can
didate.
If there be a prospective candi
date who thinks he is stronger than
the party, he is not the man needed
•he would develop into a boss. We
want a man who represents democ
racy in all its truth of principle and
justness of polioy.

Death of Mrs. Hendley, nee Miss
Maggie Hodges.
Monday evening,, May 18th, Airs,
Maggie Hendley, wife of Dr. John
J. Hendley, died at their home in
Abbeville, Wilcox county.
About ten days prior to her death
she suffered injury from falling
hgainst the mantel piece, and from
that injury concussion of the brain
resulted, says the Abbeville Ohroni-
ole
The burial was in Hawkinsville,
the former home of Dr. Hendley
and family.
Mrs. Hendley was a native of
Perry, a sister' of the editor of the
Home Journal. In 1881 she went
to Hawkinsville with her parents,
Mr. and Airs. James H. Hodges, and
there lived until two or three years
after her marriage to Dr. Hendley.
It is not the province of a brother
to write much of praise, but we oan-
not refrain fre m giving testimony of
h6r true worth. As a girl, young la
dy, wife and mother we know that
sue Was true, loving and devoted to
her duty. She was a member of the
Methodist' church, a Christian in
word and deed. A truly good wo
man has been called to her eternal
reward.
The bereaved family consists of
the devoted husband and five chil
dren, one of these an infant only a
few weeks old. Also her aged moth
er, four brothers and a sister feel
the profound sorrow.

Grovania Gleanings
By Joo Bcdgo,
On going around this
over our little tovyn,
n J nl, >
morning
which is noted
for its piety and Charitable deeds, I
met the treasurer of the Grovania
Oil and Fertilizer Company, who in
formed me that they “shut down”
their business about two weeks ago.
Alaj. Benson says they have shipped
five tanks of oil—about 36,000 gal
lons—for which they received from
26 to 34 cents per gallon; bought
about 880 tons cotton seed; made
about 340 tons guano, and have a
lot of cotton seed meal and hulls on
hand. The company- seems to be
content with their dividends. They
work from fifteen to twenty hands
eight or nine months in the year,and
adds much to the business of our
place. May the Grqvania Oil & Fer
tilizer Co. prosper, and be an exam
ple to other towns that are afraid to
invest in home enterprise.
We commend you, Mr. Editor, in
regard to making repairs on our
court house, and hope our county
commissioners will take an up-to-
date interest in this matter. These
are progressive times, and we must
keep up with the advancment of the
times, or we will be left with the
timeB|and]|noJadvaucemeut. Multiply
by {{tunes and we have advancement.

Tlie readers of this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded disease
that science has been able to cure in all its
stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu-
tional disease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Hall’s catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving the pa
tient strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so'much faith in its curative
powers, that they oiler One Hundred Dollars for
rany ease that it falls to cure. Seudfor list of
testimonials.
