STALEY. a nd choice styles in Lawns and Mus.ins, at Joseph’s, 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.
