WEATHER REPORTS
Will
Received Regularly and
Properly Displayed.
The most autheutic weather reports
will be received in Athens and posted
and displayed properly as is evidenced
by the followir.g communication:
Mb Editor:—I bave succeeded in
perfecting arrangements by which I
shall De able to display the U S.
Weather Bureau Signals, giving fore
cast of weather. The flAgs will be dis
played from a forty foot pole on top of
the Moore College.
The key to the signals Is as follows:
A square white flag indicates fair
weather.
A sqsre blue llag indicates rain—
(general.)
A half white and blue indicates local
rain or cloudy weather.
The temperature flag is black and and
triangular. If displayed above the
square flag it indicates warmer temper
ature ; if below, colder; if not displayed
the temperature will remain stationary.
A square white flag, with a black
square in centre, indicates a cold wave
and is displayed with one the the square
flsgs, first mentioned, acccording as
the accompanying weather will be clear,
rainy or cloudy.
I hope that, as a matter of general
interest, you will give to this, a place in
your cdumns.
Respectfully,
L H. Charbinnier.
The bold, bad burglar will get in bis
work occasionally.
And Sunday nignt he went at it in
the most approved stylo. ,
It is net known what color he was,
whether he was black or white, but it
was quite certain he was determined.
Messrs. Percy Ezelle, of Eatonton,
and E C. Fleming of Augusta, two
students of the University of Georgia,
reside at the home of Mr. Potts, on
Pulaski street.
Sunday night they went to bed at
the usual hour and in a short while
were asleep. They slept on and in the
wee small hours the burglar eame tnd
chloroformed both of the sleeping
young men.
Mr. Fleming awoke while the bur
glar was in the sot almost of finishing
bis work on him. A atrorgodor of the
drug pervaded the room and in bis
half- dszed manner, Mr. Fleming could
see the form of a man speed across the
room and out of the window.
He turned to Ezelle to wake him up,
but be bad gotten so completely under
the influence of the dreg that It re
quired some time to bring him around
The burglar did not succeed in car
rying off anything. Na clue as to bis
identity can be found.

From eastern limits to western su
burbs in our beautiful city today there
is sorrow and grief in the hearts of the
people. — A.
The rich and poor, the great and
small, the old and young, in fao% every
class and condition of sooiety, are' sor
rowful from the realization of the fact
that the grim Reaper has passed this
way with his relentless sickle.
It was with saddened hearts that the
people learned the tidings yesterday,
and with grief-stricken spirits thby
realize today that when the fieger of
God touched the tired eyelids of Mrs.
John W. Nicholson into their eternal
sleep, there passed away from earth one
of the noblest characters that ever
adorned a home or beautified a Chris
tian life.
For weeks and months, Mrs. Nichol
son had been slowly wasting away un
der a combination of pneumonia and
bronchitis. It was thought a week
since that she was on the road to recov
ery, bnt a week since she beesme worse
and from her last attack nevtr rallied.
She was conscious almost to the mo
ment of her death, and talked most
beautifnlly of the life beyond the grave
Sunday afternoon she gathered her
children around her, gave them her last
instructions and advice, and then pro
nounced upon each her parting bless-
inp. It was a glorious eight. Happy
indeed the children who possess the di
vine heritage of such a mother’s im
perishable life!

Was the Instrument that Did
the Deadly Work—An
Exciting Time After
the Killing.
Watkinsville was the scene of great
excitement Sunday afternoon about
five o'clock.
Four pisto 1 shots rang out in quick
succession and the citizens rushed to
the point from which the sound ema
nated.
There was found a white man with a
imoking pistol and a negro with the
ife blood streaming from his breast.
The white man was Marshal D. N.
Matthews, the negro was Felix Davis,
and the tragedy had ended in the lat
ter’s death.
Davis was a rather turbulent charac
ter, and had often occasioned much
trouble for the officers of Oconee coun
ty. Sunday morning he came into
Watkinsville in a state of intoxication
and was soon stirring np strife.
Marshal Matthews went to him and
made him keep quiet. The negro went
off, but laterr in the afternoon, about
four o’clock, be came baok in a worse
condition than ever and meeting Mar
shall Matthews at onoe began to abuse
him, at the same time striking him with
a heavy stick.
No qu'cker was that done than Mar
shal Matthews drew his pistol and,
placing it close to the negro’s body,
fired four times. The pistol was so
close to the body that the negro’s shirt
caught fire from the discharge. He fell
in his tracks and death was almost in
stantaneous.
For a while excitement ruled su-

THE BARN BURNED-
Dr. Wade Loses Heavily by Fire.
Sunday morning about 1 o’clock the
large barn on the farm of Dr. R. M.
Wade about four miles from the city
caught Are and despite all efforts to
save it, burned to the ground. Every
thing in it was destroyed except the
cattle that were in the stables. They
wore all that was savfd from total
destruction. There was no insurance
whatever on the barn or its contents
and hence it was a total loss to Dr.
Wade.
The cause of the fire is unknown Out
it is be’ieved that some person careless
ly struck a match and threw it among
some inflammable material which ig
nited and started the bnr.fUgration.

and other similar language, attracted
Policemen Ssye, MoKie, Jones a n d
Hays to a negro dive near the G, C &

seemed eminent.
Pistols were being flourished in the
May bretzs with a vigor that indicated
“trouble in the camps” as a big ugly
negro made a dash for
a more fortunate rival
shouting, “lie down Molish.” A qjar-

SOME TOWN TALK.
If Athens needs any one thing in this
world worn than another it la a good
city directory. There is probably not
a city to be fonnd in the oonntry of
like size and' importance that don’t
afford a good accurate city directory.
Every day I hear drummers and vis
itors at the different hotels ask for.a
city directory, and when they arc in
formed that there is not one in print
their comments are usually anything
tut pleasant to a loyal native Athenian.
Then, business men meet me daily on
the streets and inquire about the ad
dress of their customers, and their
oolleotors spend enough time in a year
hunting up people on atreet inquiries
to work out in the house the pnoe of
twenty copies of a city directory.
Besides the economy of a oity directory
to business men, and the accommoda
tion it would be to visitors, there could
be many things embodied therein that
would do the city a vast amount of
good as an advertisement
City fathers, enoourage this sugges
tion and lets be metropolitan and have
a nice, handsome, accurate city direc
tory.
Prof. Bond, what about onr night
school? It wouldn’t take much money
to conduct the school and the small
amount needed could be secured some
way.
One of the best teaohers in the oity
told me that if such a school was started
he would offer his servioes, that is what
time be could spare free to enoourage
it. I have no donbt others would do
the same thing, and I think the school
could be gotten np with the right kind
of efforts.

If there is one loyal, true and patrio

man is Col. Evan P. Howell.
With characteristic frankness and
patriotism he has declined to allow his

keep and a mission to fulfill, and this
he can do better free from the handi
caps and contamination of politios, or

Sam Small says the oity council of
Athens is by the men who put their
money in the new opera home for the
sake of giving Athens a creditable thea
tre like other cities, with no hope of
ever realizing a cent of profit, like a
western council was by one of its con
stituents : A water main bursted,and;the
water run into a citizen’s cellar, drown
ing about 75 bead of fine ohicken. The
citizen went to the council for dama
ges. After several hours debating and
wrangling over the case, the oounoil
settled it by passing a resolution to the
effect that the oitizen ought to bave
raised ducks instead of chickens so
they could have swam out.
“If Editor Myrick ‘had only known..
If he could have looked ahead. If he
oould have killed those paragraphs
calling Cleveland a mugwump. If he
could bave seen that Cleveland was to
be a winner. If he could have had
somebody in bis office to hold him on
the right track. If he could only, oh,
if, if. if, a thousand ifs, how happy,
happy, happy he would be. Bnt he
didn’t know, and so he has been turned
down. Woe unto him that gets on the
wrong side in politios I”—Atlanta Her

Good gracious! Hasn’t the Herald
learned long ere this that it doesn’t
matter who a man wss for, or who he
wss againBt in the matter of appoint
ments in Georgia?
Why there was the Herald’s own
Blackburn, who was the “onliest” ' and
original Cleveland man of the state,
who got an “exclusive interview” with
him when south, who surrendered his
position as editor-in-chief of the Her
ald because the president of the Herald
<^>mpany was not wilting to endorse
Mr. Cleveland unqualifiedly against all
the rest of the world, who folded his
little arms around the massive and
over-loaded white-house chest of the
president, who went to Washington,
called him “my friend Grover,” and
played a regular peek-a-boo Bosnian
act with baby Rath, still oat of a job.
The Herald ought to have learned long
ago that it doesn’t matter what .“side’*
a man was on in the matter of appoint*
meats in Georgia, bat all hingea ou the
personal preferences of certain “official
Georgians” who possess s “oynoh” on
the administration.
