On ‘yesterday afternoon, about
half past two o’clock, the alarm
of fire was heralded through the
streets. Smoke was seen boiling
from the roof of the Ambrose
Hotel, and nearly every man in
town, aud many of the women,
rushed to the place and did all
in their power to stay the fire.
It was soon iound out that the
entire building, consisting of the
Ambrose Hotel, T. L. Ambrose’s
st( re, J. A. Ambrose’s store and
dwelling, could not be saved, and
everybody, both white and colored!
turned their attention to the sav
ing of everything else but the
building. Of course, excitement
prevailed, but not as much as
usual on occasions of great fires
like this.
Nearly everything of any value
was removed from the building.
Some things were considerably in
jured, but when it is remembered
that so many things were brought
out in such a short time, it is but
just that the people of Lawrence
ville be highly praised fo‘r their
most excellent management of the
entire affair.
For a while, it seemed that the
entire eastern half of Lawarnce
ville would be burned. The flames
were leaping high into the heavens
and it took heroic work to save
the Globe Warehouse, the home of
J. G. Brown, andjthe lumber house
of the Ambrose Lumber Co. If
any of these houses had caught
fire, it would have meant the burn
ing of a good many more build
ings.
T. L. Ambrose carred S6OO in
surance on his store an<lslooo,soon
his hotel. The sl,ooo,sopolicy was
out about a month ago, and Mr.
Ambrose didn’t know that he
would recover for this policy, but
Mr. L. M. Brand, his insurance
agent, informed him that he had
forwarded the premium on policy
for him, and Mr. Ambrose will re
cover the entire amount.
J. A. Ambrose carriedsl,soo on
his store aud dwelling and $250 on
his furniture.
A. N. Shackelford, who occupied
a portion of J. A. Ambrose’s store
with his jewelry establishment,
succeeded in saving most of his
goods.

E. V. Wood, of Cains district,
says that while a new' ditch was
being cut on his bottom land last
week, more than trto feet under
the ground, about a handful of
musk-melon seed was found in a
sound condition.
The home of Mr. John Swords
came very near being destroyed by
fire on Tuesday morning. The fire
originated in the kitchen, and it
is supposed that it was started
from a defective flue. As soon as
the alarm was given, plenty of
help was on hand, and the fire was
quickly extinguished,

Dr. J. H. Conway, who has been
successfully engaged in his pro
fession here for four years, has
moved to Lawrenceville, Ga., not
to better his condition financially,
for he was doing well, or in point,
of health because each member of
his family has red and rosy cheeks,
but to live in his native county
and be near his mother to lend a
helping band in her declining
years. As a Christian and high
toned gentleman and physician,
Dr. Conway ranked with the first
among our people, and it is pain
ful to realize the fact that we-may
never meet again. To him and
his interesting family the well
wishes of our people are given,
joined with the hope that He who
controls our destiny will abide
with them.—Lee County Journal.

J. R. Cain, of Lilburn, says that
some young fellow came into his
community a few days ago and
persuaded Wady Stephens, George
Nesbit, and Gilbert Nesbit’s wife,
all colored, to accompauy him to
Atlanta, where he would arrange
for them to get a pension of $147
each. The negroes wiiliuglv ac
cepted his offer, but when they
reached Atlanta, they were inform
ed that the person from whom
were to get their pensions had gone
to Macon, and that it would be
necessary to give him money to
buy tickets to that place. The n -
groesgave him all the rnouey they
had, aud, as he disappeared to the
ticket office, they looked upon him
for the last tims, for he never re
turned.
Pony—Smith,
On yesterday afternoon at the
home of Mr. aud Mrs. G. N. Han
cock in Atlanta, Col. Jas. A. Per
ry and Miss Birdie Smith were
married, Rev. Stradley offici
ating.
The groom on this occasion, as
on all others, presented a hand
some appearance. Mr. Perry is a
native of Ben Smith’s District, iu
this county, is twenty-four years
of age, and is a lawyer, Mayor of
Lawrenceville, and Associate Ed
itor of News-Herald.
The bride wore a traveling dress
that was very becoming her bru
nette type of beauty. She is the
daughter of the late John H.
Smith, who came to Atlanta from
Canada in early life and accumu
lated a large forture before his
death. Her refinement and cul
ture have won for her a large cir
cle of friends.
The wedding was a quiet home
affair, on account of the recent
death of Mrs. Smith’s sister, and
only a few of their intimate friends
were present. Those present from
Lawrenceville were Messrs. Wesley
Clower, Dr. John M. Jacobs, M. M.
Sammons, N. L. Hutchins, Jr., and
Solicitor C. H. Brand.
The happy couple left for Wash
ington, D. C,, on the noon train
over the Seaboard Air Line, and
after a ten days’ bridal tour, they
will return to Lawrenceville, their
future home.
The Twentieth Century Question.
Editor News-Herald: In your
last issue the Carl correspondent
asks the question, “Who says this
is not the 20th century ?” and
then proceeds to show by an ex
cellent mode of reasoning that we
are now living in the 20th centu
ry. But, while his reasoning is
all right, the conclusion which he
draws from it is altogether wrong.
He says: “The first year was the
beginning of the first century,
which it took one hundred years
to complete.” Certainly, and if
be will multiply one hundred years
by nineteen, he will readily see
that it takes 1900 years to make
nineteen centuries, aud that only
1899 years aud a few weeks have
passed since the birth of Christ.
M. Flammarion, the great
French astronomer, says:
“This seemiugly difficult problem is
really very easy of solution. A dozen
consists of twleve units. The number
12 is a part of the dozen. One hun
dred consists of one hundred units and
the number 100 is a part thereof. Now,
it is clear that there never was a year
oin Christian chronology. The first
year was No. 1, the tenth year was No.
10, and the hundredth year of the first
century was the year 100.
“What had led many persons astray
has probably been the change in the
first two figures of the year, as we see
in the case of 1799-1800 or 1899-1900.
A similar change, however, is made
when 9 becomes 10, or when 99 be
comes 100. If any one gives me one
hundred cents I have a dollar, but the
hundredth cent is just as necessary to
my first dollar as the ninetieth. My
hundredth and first cent is the begin
ning of my second dollar. The hun
dredth is, in fact, a necessary portion
of the dollar.
“In like manner the hundredth year
belongs to the century which is dying.
Exactly, therefore, at midnight of
December 31,1900, will the hour glass
of the nineteenth century run out and
at the next moment the twentieth cen
tury will start on its career.”
Now, the brother at Carl and
the Pope may both believe we
are living in the 20th century, but
it will take a ten foot pole to beat
it into the heads of some of us.
However, the newspapers have
literally worn out the subject, so
lets discuss the dog luw or some
thing else awhile for a chftDge.

The Infant of W. H- Thomas Bead.
The many friends of Mr. W. H.
Thomas and wife, who recently
moved from this county to Ala
bama, will be sorry to know that
they have had the misfortune to
lose one of their children. Below
is a clipping from the Gunters
ville (Ala.) Democrat:
On December 23, death entered
the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. H.
Thomas, at Mid, Ala., and took
away its sweetest flower. She suf
fered only a few days with croup,
aud death came and bore away the
pure spirit of little Ree. She was
only two years, three months and
eleven days old. While iu her
earthly home we find a vacant
chair, aud no more will we listen
to her childish voice, we believe
Heaven is made brighter by her
presence. Weep not, fond parents
aud sisters, your little one has
been taken, but she is in stronger
arms than yours.
Good bye, little Roe, till we meet thee
Your pathway Is purity, while ourg is pain.
When life la o’er we’ll see thee once more.
And many dear one* who have gone on before.
To Har That’s Awa’.
The melancholy intelligence of
the death of Mrs. Jesse S. Pate
caused a sad gloom to over-shadow
our little town. Truly we live in
a world where solemn shadows are
continually falling upon our path
—shadows that teach us the inse
curity of all temporal blessings,
and warn us that here “there is no
abiding stay.” And she died in a
strange land, afar from those who
loved her devotedly; away from
mother, sisters and brothers. Away
from those who would have been
readiest to smooth down her lone
ly pillow. She had goue to the
“Land of Flowers,” and there
death came on the lisping winds,
over summery seas and her soul
was wafted into eternity thereon.
In shadow aud sunshine alike,
her’s was alw'ays the same cheery
smile that greeted us.
She has gone from among us,
aud we know that no words of ours
cau bring comfort to the sorely
tried hearts of those who loved her
best, yet we express our deep and
heartfelt sympathy.
You have the hope of meeting
her one day in a better and hap
pier union than the ties that
bound you here on earth.
She waits for you, and, reunited
there, you will know no parting.
May God temper your deep af
fliction, aud give you strength to
endure it.
May He in His own good time,
give you the peace that will enable
you to wait with patience until He
shall call you to meet your loved
one in Heaven.
Mrs. J., Carl, Ga.
NOTICE.
The News-Herald of the 18th
has made a bad blunder or an
awful mistake in its calculation
of the true amount of the expen
ses of this county for the year
1899. It says that the amount
expended was $12,807.19. Where
is the Tax Collector’s commission
of S6OO ? Where is the Receiver’s
commission of S6OO ? Where is
the Treasurer’s commission of
$600? Where is the County School
Board and County School Commis
sioner’s SSOO ? You will find that
the tax payers of this county pay
$14,707.19 instead of $12,807.19,
I find from the tax books for
1899 that the state has collected
$20,000 for state tax, the county
has collected $12,000 for county
taxes, making a total of $82,000
for the year 1899. Supposing
Gwinnett to be an average of the
187 counties, and the tax the
same, it will amount to $4,884,000;
the W. & A. railroad rent, $1,000,-
000, mailing $5,884,000 for the
year 1899. If this is not robbery,
what is it ?

Teachers' Association.
Owing to the cool weather and
the coolness of spirit that most
teachers manifest in these month
ly Teachers’ Association, the at

same time Bible teaches us that
where there are as many as three
“gathered together in Thy name
there will I be also.”
Dinner was the most important
feature of the occasion as it came
first. Nothing was done toward
carrying out the program uutil
after dinner.
Then the program was carried
out in part only.
The welcome address by Prof.
Morgau of Trip, was very short
and concise, yet a welcome indeed.
The address or lecture, delivered
by Dr. Bsiley, of Centrnville, on
“Practical Teachers,” if we are to
judge by the iuionse interest and
close attention manifested by all
present, was certainly enjoyed.
His lecture coutaiued many valu
able hints. “A hint to the wise
is sufficient.” But I sometimes
feel that some of us are not wise
enough to take a hint.
Our County school commission
er, W. T. Tanner gave us his views
