A Peculiarly Sad Occurrence That Removed a Manly
Young Citizen. The Funeral Held Yesterday Af
ternoon at Four O’clock. The Remains Will
be Interred This Morning in Atlanta.
Yesterday morning at an early hoar
Strickler McGregor, the young ion ot
Mr. D. W. McGregor, died after a brief
llloess.
Last Friday it was noticed that the
young man was getting very pale and
once or twice he vomited a little blood.
The trouble was diagnosed as haemo
philia, a condition of the blood that pre
cludes its coagstation it a hemorrhage
was started.
The probability is tbat the vessel from
whiob tbe hemorrhage took plaoe was
%ot larger than a hair and that the young
man had been bleeding for at least three
weeks before death ensued. The entire
abdominal cavity was filled with blood.
Knowing the peouliar condition of the
young man’s blood, the physicians from
the beginning were satisfied that there
was no hope for his reoovery.
The occurence of cases of haemophilia
is very rare in this country. It is proba
bio that there are less that one dozen
such cases in the United States. Very
few cases have ever been reported to the
medical journals. Young Mr. McGregor
had in the past few years come near
bleeding to death, onoe from sticking a
toothpick in his fiuger.
The funeral of Mr. McGregor was

The University Btudents will endeavor

"Some of the happiest days of my life

these institutions at the next session.

going to accomplish great things for the

VERY FINE RADISH
Hrs. F. H. Bowden Raised
One Weighing Over
Eight Pounds.
A Good Cough Medicine.
[From the Gazette, Toowomba, Ans.
tralia ]
I find Chamberlain’s Oongb Remedy
is an excellent medicine, I have been
suffering from a severe cough for the
last two months and it has effected a
cure. I have great pleosnre in recom
mending it.—W. O. Wockner. This is
the opinion of one of our oldest and
most respected citizens, and has been
voluntarily given in good faith that
others may try the remedy and be bene-
fitted, as was Mrs. Wockner. This rem
edy is sold by all druggists.
Mrs. F. H. Bowden sent to The Ban
ner office yesterday afternoon a very
large and very fine radish, weighing
eight and one half pounds. This radish
with a great many more nearly as large,
was raised in the flower garden of Mrs.
Bowden and did not receive more than
ordinary attention. The radish was
seen at this office yesterday by a large
number of persons who were unanimous
in declaring that it was the largest rad
ish they had ever seen, and that Mrs.
Bowden was easily entitled to the bine
ribbon as a vegetable gardener. Tbe
beanty abont the large radishes grown
by Mrs. Bowden is the fact that they
are as tender and sweet as the ordinary
sized ones usually raised through this
section of the oountry. Mrs. Bowden
resides on Dongberty street, and her
flower and vegetable garden is a thing
of beanty and will be a joy as long as
these large radishes last.

Are little snrprisers.

Coffee was first discovered in the sixth
century by an Arabian shepherd who
having observed the goats of his flock
skip about and display other signs of in-
toxication after eating the coffee berry,
concluded to try its effects on himself,
and thus discovered its exhilarating
property.
This discovery proved the poor shep
herd's nudolng. for he indiscriminately
need large quantities, green, for its ex
hilarating effect and soon died, poisoned
by its use.
In the sixteenth century, it was intro
duced into France, and was used so
strong and excessively, particularly by
tbe Parisians that it was found to injure
alike tbe complexion and digestion.
This discovery prevented its general in-
trod notion into other European oonntries
for the next centnry.
Since that period, its growth has grad
ually spread tnrough theoivilized world,
despite the fact that pain and destruc
tion follow its path, dyspepsia having
lieen hardly kaown before its introduc
tion. It Is a "nerve stimulant" and
narcotio poison, and though in no sense
a food, is used for its stimulating prln
eiple, Caffeine, which excites the nerves
unnaturally and wastes the reserve foroe
of the body. Coffee drives the nerves for
a time, stimulating them beyond their
natural fanetion, and using up all their
reserve force. After the first effects are
past, comes breaking down of the nerve
centres and general nervous derange
meat. Following this in many bnt not
all cases 1b a long train of misery, among
which the principal symptoms are dry
ness in month and throat, headache,
biliousness, pains in stomach or abdo
men, pain in eyes and head, loss of
appetite, dyspepsia and so on through a
long, long list, but the one cause of all
the different Bymptoms is the same.
The nerves have been broken down
their reserve force is gone. Many of the
symptoms of poisoning are — extreme
nervousness, restlessness, angnish of
mind and heart, excessive relaxation of
body and brain, gloominess, Inability to
think correotly, sleeplessness at night,
drowsiness in the morning, eto.

At the meeting of the board of direc
tors of the Athens Yonng Men’s Chris
tian Association Thnrsday night. Secre
tary W. T. Forbes made his annnal re
port, covering in detail a most successful
year’s work.
The report shows 85 senior members,
97 student members, 53 junior members
and 15 members of the working boys’
olob, making a total membership of 250.
Daring the past year the association
has collected in oash the snm of (5243.25.
Nearly three thousand dollars of that
amonnt was collected as special contri
butions to retire bonds on the association
building. Fonr (500 bonds and several
hundred dollars of accumulated interest
were retired daring the year.
Daring the year the Ladies’ Auxiliary
baB made improvements aod additions
at the hall at a cost of (797 30. There
are now in tho library 198 volumes, iu
the reading room, 41 newspapers and
periodicals.
During the year there were held 51
men's meetings, 79 sessions of personal
workers’ classes, 51 sessions devotional
Bible class. Thirty-seven yonng men
were personally dealt with, twelve were
oonverted. There were held 16 boys'
Bible class sessions, 51 boys' Sunday
meetings, and 17 boys were oonverted.
In the physical department there'were
held 342 gymnasium Classes during the
year,- during which time the j^nasiM* < ■
was used 4,801 times.
In the sooial department there were
held two senior receptions, three junior
receptions and fonr working boys’ socia
bles and suppers.
The Young Men's Christian Associa
tion never was in a more satisfactory
condition as to good work being done
than now. There will be needed for
ourrent, expenses; for the ooming year
the sum of (3,200. Of that amount (I,-
700 will be raised by subscription among
the people of Athens and the canvass
will be made by members of the board
of directors at an early date.
The association now has only (4,000 of
bonds to meet, (500 every two years and
it is believed that the income from the
building will in a few years be enongh
to take care of all fixed oharges.
The current expense fund ran a little
short last year and an extra effort will
be made this year to augment that fond
by Bnbsoription to an amount that will
make the association move along with
perfect ease financially.
Secretary Forbes deserves a great deal
of oredit for the excellent condition of
the association. He is a careful, com
petent, oonseorated, tireless worker.
The Ladies’ Auxiliary has been espe
cially effective daring the past year.
Through the work of that organization
two junior rooms have been furnished,
a new piano purchased, six dozen chairs
added, new matting for parlor and read
ing room bought, a hat rack, new rugs,
clock, games, book covers, plates and
forks and other things famished.
There is a movement on foot to pro
vide a swimming pool on the basement
floor of the Y. M. O. A. building and
towards that fand the Ladies’ Auxiliary
nave already secured (164.40.
Dnring the coming year it is the wish
of the directors to make several needed
improvements in the way of extra
shower baths, better closets, etc., which
will be done if the money can be se-
onred.
A stud; of the work aooompllshed this
year by the Y. M. O. A. will conyinoo
anyone that it is one of the beat institu
tions in the oity and will lead the people
of Athens to make generous contribu
tions when the canvassing committees
approaoh them.
