A man who is a farmer, and who

It is saida railroad will be construct

this be done it will doubtless revive

dersville, would place our good old
town on the genuine boom for which
our enterprising citizens have been
laboring so long.

Death of Mr. King Champion.
We record with sorrow the death
or Air. King Champion which occur
red at ills home in this county on last
ilmrsday, after a short illness. His
disease was a malignant form of dys
entery which bafiled the skill of his
physicians. A lew short weeks ago
there was, perhaps, no man in Bald
win county who enjoyed a fairer pros
pect of a long and prosperous life.
. robust health, full of business ac
tivity, and surrounded by the endear
ing charms of a happy home, lie look
ed forward to the future with bright
anticipations. He was about thirty
j ears of age, and lmd been married
only a few years. When least expect
ed the Destroyer came.
When tlie well at McComb's Mount
caved in, covering up a negro man,
on the 5th inst.. Mr. Champion who
lives in the neighborhood, went to the
E lace and made an effort to rescue
im. He was let down into the well,
when it again commenced caving and
nearly covered him up. He escaped
by climbing the rope. Soon after
this we heard that he was stricken
with the prevailing disease. A few
days later and it was known that he
was seriously ill. In tlie meantime
his child, about 19 months of age was
attacked with tlie same disease, and
died on Tuesday last. The father
survived the child two days.
The funeral services of Mr. Cham
pion took place in the Methodist
church in this city on Friday after
noon at 3 o’clock, conducted by Rev.
J. It. King. A large congregation
testified their respect for tlie deceas
ed. The remains were buried in our
city cemetery. The following gentle
men acted as pall-bearers: Messrs.
S. Barrett, T. L. McComb, L. H.
Comptom, C. M. Wright, H. E. Mc
Comb and Hatch Turner.
In the prime of life, our friend lias
gone to that ‘bourne from whence no
traveller returns.’ He will be greatly
missed not only by his family, but by
the whole community. He was J us-
tice of the Peace in nis District, and
was an efficient and faithful officer.
He was a good citizen, a kind neigh
bor, a true friend, a devoted husband
and father. The deeply afflicted wife
has the heartfelt sympathy of the
community.
FIRE.
Spring Has Opened
Peter O’Neal’s residence in Sinton-
ville, was destroyed by fire last Sun
day night. The alarm was given
about 11$ o’clock. At that time the
fire had advanced so far that nothing
could be done to suppress tlie flames.
Sintonville is a community of colored
people who live in the western part
of the city, only a few white families
living in the neighborhood. O’Neal,
who was preparing to move to Ma
con, returned from that city and
spent Sunday in this city, going back
to Macon by the 4.12 p. in., train.
His wife was left in charge of the
building. She is quite an old woman.
Nearly all the furniture had been re
moved to Macon. The negroes iu the
neighborhood say the house was set
on fire from the outside. O’Neal had
the building insured for six hundred
dollars in the Southern Mutual In
surance Company. He had been of
fering his place for sale and his best
cash offer was $430.00. If the house
was set on fire, it is not believed that
any white person had anything to do
with it. The whole matter will be
thoroughly investigated and it is be
lieved the solution is easy. We for
bear, under the circumstances, to pub
lish the reports and suspicions dis
cussed on the streets.
-AND
Dr. C. W. Buck spent last week at
the Oconee House in this city. By
the use of a new discovery, Eleotro-
dentis, he extracts teeth without pain.
He extracted teeth for a number of
our citizens who testify that it was
done without paia or injury. The
Doctor left here for Eatonton last
Friday.
Peter O’Neal, who was warned to
leave this city on account of his con
nection with'Hoover’s visit, has mov
ed to Macon. He has been a disturb
ing element in our community for
many years. He acted wisely to
leave. It is to be hoped he will profit
by the lesson he has learned.
Ladies are taking advantage of the
great inducements offered by Miss S.
E. Bearden in Millinery—she has in
stock and to arrive this week the most
beautiful line of commencement hats
to be found in the city—all will be
sold at astonishing low figures.
P. J. Cline & Co. will open this
week a great many new and pretty
goods for Coimnen’ceiuent. Tlie la
dies will find it to their interest to call
early.
The Masonic Hall is undergoing re
pairs. Mr. E. P. Creslein was engaged
in painting the cornice of this fine old
building the past week.

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh
that Contain Mercury,
As Mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely derange
the whole system when entering it
through the mucus surfaces. Such
articles should never be used except
on prescriptions from reputable phy
sicians, as the damage they will do
are ten fold to the good you can pos
sibly derive from them. Hall’s Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, O., contains
no mercury and is taken internally
and acts directly upon the blood and
mucus surfaces of the system. In
buying Hall's Catarrh Cure be sure
that vou get tlie genuine, it is taken
internally and made in Toledo, Ohio,
by F. J. ‘Cheney & Co.
