A Surplus of Gold.
The Americus Times-Kecorder
complains of a surplus of gold in
that city. It says: “The banks
of Americus are now paying out
stacks of gold com for cotton, vnd
with the gold comes a howl,
Farmers do not want it, mer-
chants prefer silver or bill, and
the‘standard of the country, is
not in demand here at all. The
northern banks, which howled for
gold, dump it upon the south dur¬
ing the winter months. As a cir¬
culating medium gold is a nui¬
sance. It is not wanted by the
trade in the north, and whatever
is not wanted there is dumped up-
on the south. Every bank in
Americus lias a stack of .$20 gold
pieces to get rid of here. 5 7

An Odd Egg.
Mrs. J. N. Stanford has in her
possession a hen egg that is liable
to cast a damper on the record of
old Speck and old Don, i n ink ft
is two and a half inches long,
three-quarters of an inch in diam-
eter at the large end, and tapers
to the size of a child’s finger. Not
only does it resemble a finger in
size, but it has a nail on it also. I
was called on to investigate the
curiosity, and after exhausting all
oi my henology and eggoligy I
pronounced it a prohibition egg
with an index finger pointing to
the writing on the wall that de¬
throned Belshazzar and sent him
to the boneyard a pitiable wreck.
Candidates will please take warn¬
ing.—Si Otis in Oithbert Leader.

In these statements are embraced
the consumation of an awful tragedy
and the historic event by which the
entire administration of govern¬
ment is changed and a new adminis¬
tration comes into being.
But for the moment the transfer
of the government is forgotten in
the great sorrow which has fallen
on the nation in the passing of
President McKinley, Soldier,
statesman, president, devoted hus¬
band and friend, he was loved by
all who knew him.
The death of President McKinley
came in the small hours of the
morning under circumstances of
peculiar wierdness. For hours he
had lain unconscious with all hope
of his survival abandoned.
As early as 6 o’clock last night
the doctors had pronounced him a
dying man, arid soon thereafter the
rigors of approaching death began

Mrs. Vining Gets Verdict for $13,000 Against

Monday morning and nearly all of
the time of the court has been
taken up in the trial of the case
of Mrs. Emma D. Vining against

This case arose over the killing

tration of powerful stimulants was
maintained until 7 o’clock, hut with
no effect. It was seen that the end
was near at hand and those nearest
and dearest to the president were
Hummoned for the offices of the last
farewell. He came out of a stupor
about 7 o’olock, and while his mind
was practically clear there occurred
the last endearments, the last sub¬
mission of the sufferer to the will of
the Almighty, the last murmured
expressions from his dying lips and
the last good-byes.
In this interval ol consciousness
Mrs. McKinley was brought into
the death chamber. The president
had asked to see her. She came
and sat beside him, held his hand

ment and comfort. Then she was
led away and not, again during his
living hours did she see him.
The president himself fully realiz¬
ed that his hour had come and his
mind turned to his Maker.

to Thee,” the words of the hymn
always dear to his heart. Then in
faint accents he murmured, “Good-

A Notable Bridge.
Cabin John bridge, 7 miles from
Washington, is the largest single
arch stone bridge in the world,
the arch being 220 feet, It was
constructed in 1850, when Frank-
|j„ pierce was president and Jef-
ferson Davis secretary of war, and
the engineering was under the di¬
rection of Mr. Davis. A tablet
was placed on the structure con¬
taining the names of the president
and secretary of war and the date
of the completion of the bridge.
During the civil war some uli¬
known person chiseled the name
of Mr. Davis off the tablet. There
is now a movement afoot to have
the name restored as a simple act
of justice long delayed.—Savan¬
