Only; in : stature, however,-, for Prof. Chas.. Lane, at tire academy Wednesday night,, measured away beyond expectation. The lecture was what might he called an electric display of wit and humor and took the large audience by storm. It lasted about an hour and a half, and never did the same length of time appear so short. There was not a dull moment, from start to finish, nor were there.many dry eyes in the audience. It would not be fair to-the. fa¬ mous lecturer to publish any of the button-bursters which kept the crowd convulsed, as they constitute part of his stock in trade, hut we can say that the lecture contained more solid fun to the square inch than anything in that line we ever heard. It was the hit of the year, and'we only regret that the Prof, is mot for sal*, sm that we might buy him and keep him here permanently. At the earnest solicitation' ®£ friends, he also lectured Thurs¬ day night, his subject being “Talk and Talkers.” The academy was crowded and the audience delighted. Prof. Lane will always find a genuine southern welcome in Ocilla. Last Saturday night a cyclone passed over a portion, .of Tennessee, Alabama and upper Georgia, killing a number of people in the two states first named and destroying much property all along its track. Neal and Oliver Mobley were both acquitted in Pulaski superior court last Saturday. Neal was tried for murder and Mobley for volvntary manslaughter. It was shown by the testimony that he killed E. F. Bag l>y, but the bill was for killing E. T. IJagby, Prof. M. Dickson and bis charm¬ ing daughters, Misses Rachel and Annie, spent part of Wednesday ami Thursday in Ocilla. Prof. Dick¬ son, who is our worthy county school commissioner,.speaks in high terms of Oeilla’s- eebools and its ten i,her s Mr, Jesse Luke has in his posses¬ sion a watch that tells the time of day, the month, the day of the month and the changes of the moon. By a mechanical contrivance the moon appears at an opening, in its different phases. It is a unique time piece. Rev. L.-M. Lawson, of Abbeville, preached'two able and impressive sermons in Ocilla Sunday. His evening sermon was on “Expan¬ sion,” and he handled the subject in a masterly way. His compari¬ sons were clear and concise and none could fail to understand them. Lumber is being placed on the ground for a 30x40 audition to'.the academy. This will be built just back of the music department and library, and is made necessary by tbe , steady , increase . in the ^ number , of pupils. Work on the addition j will commence Monday or Tuesday. | ELDER MATTHEW SIKES, Sick. Eclito.i’.

Did you ever have it? “How are your sick folks?” is the greeting now. But, after all, it might he much worse, No one has died from it, hut when it has handled you for ten days you will be gripped all over. Well, it is only by affliction that we learn to appreciate good health. It has handled me pretty softly and I would be thankful if I could. But my wife is onc.-of the worst suffer¬ ers, nor is she much better yet. But we are in hopes of coming out at the better end of it soon. I write this to tell you that I cannot appear this week. M.

Burch, of Arthur, Ga., was in town the latter part of last week and informed us of the sudden death of the little son of Mr. J. R. Lindsey, of near Reedy Springs, which occurred on- Mon¬ day, the 13th inst. The little boy, was, to all appear¬ ances,. in perfect health, and had not even complained of feeling the least unwell. He was out in the yard running about as usual, when he suddenly fell over and expired before any one could reach him. An extraordinary fact in connec¬ tion with this death is that the little boy makes the fifth child Mr. Lind¬ sey has lost in exactly like manner, three of whom died within the last year. They were all strong, healthy children, and their sudden deaths have been a great blow to Mr. and Mrs. Lindsey. Mr. Burch informs us that one of the children- dropped dead at his gin house last year, and that up to the very moment of death nothing un¬ usual was noticed about the child. Mr. Lindsey and family have in¬ deed been very unfortunate, and they have the deepest sympathy of their friends and neighbors in such dark and gloomy hours of distress. —Eastman Times-Journal.

How to Prevent Pneumonia. You are perhaps aware that pneu¬ monia always results from a Gold or from an attack of la grippe. During the epidemic of la grippe a few years ago,. when so many cases re¬ sulted in pnaumonia, it was- ob¬ served that the- attack was never fol¬ lowed by that disease when Cham¬ berlain’s Cough Remedy was used. It counteracts any tendency of a cold or la grippe to result in that dangerous disease. It is the best remedy in tho. world for bad colds and la grippe. Every bottle war¬ ranted.
