The large two story dwelling on
Capt. J W. Matthews’ place, known
as the Major Miller place, two miles
south of Fort Valley, on the Mar
shalville road, was destroyed by fire
on the morning of tbe 20th. Tbe
building was occupied by Mr. J. F
Hodges, with whom Capt. Matthews
boarded. Very few articles were
saved from the conflagration.
There is a little negro girl in Cal¬
houn who goes up on the side of the
mountain every day to have a talk
with an angel whom she says meets
her there and reveals to her some of
the things that shall be hereafter.
The latest piece of information is
that on the first Saturday in Decem¬

a terrible cyclone and earthquake,
and afterward by a fire which will
conBnmo all that is left by the cy¬

Through Mr. J. II. Fulghum we

M. F. further informs us that Don i
ovan <fc Perkins propose to continue
their road which will cross the big
Ohoopio near Odom’s bridge.

Onr Position.
Friend Jernigan, of the Sanders'
ville Mercury, in tbe last issue of
his paper defines bis position in the
following strong language. After
perusing the sarao the reader is led
to believe that Mac’s vote and influ¬
ence in tho late election assisted ma¬
terially in making Washington a
dry county. He’s on the right line,
however. He says:
If some people object to our paper
because we stood up for prohibition,
to those who have these objections
we say, that we will always be an
tbo side of temperance and all other
questions that uphold the morals of
the people and sustains our churches,
the Mercury would sink before it
would tell your children that bar¬
rooms were right and that it is es
•eutial to have them to build up
towns. You will vlwaysknow where
to find the .Mercury on all subjects
that leads to the promotion of marals
of country, sustains education and
upholds religion, you need not fear
to let your children read the Mercu¬
ry. —Sandersville Mercnry.
Let Him Go.
A postmaster in Michigan, desir¬
ing to be relieved from the duties of

General Vilas as follows:
’•When does my sentence expire?
It can't bo that I am doomed for life
unless I find a Pythias to take my
place. Twice have J resigned, but
tbo felon might as well try to shake
off his fetter, as silent contempt has
boea tbo fato of my epistles. Oh,
phase Mr. Postmaster General le*.
me go, and I promise never to do so
again. I will never sign another pe
tition to atari a postoffice on a cross¬
roads if my name figures as its mas¬
ter. Qttidek I am au offensive parti*

LAURENS COUNTY TRAGEDY
THE PLOT THICKENS!
New Deveolpments la the
Tipten Case.
^he following further
ments of the above tragic affair
reproduce from tbe Atlanta
tution as a Wrightsville special
that journal. We dislike to
on distant newspapers for our
news, but in this instance we
that we can do no better, hoping
Wrightsville correspondent will
don us for appropriatiug his
ty, second-hand though it be.
Here’s what he says:
News has reached yonr
dent that others besides Joseph M.
Weaver are implicated in the shock¬
ing tragedy of Friday night of last
week, in Laurens county. Mrs.
ton, the wife of the killed constable,
acknowledges to have made the uni¬
forms foi^the disguis^of her husband
and Joe Weaver, with a knowledge
of the purpose for which they were
to be used, thereby making herself
an accessory before the fact. She
claims to have tried to dissuade her
husband from bis act, telling him
that old man Joe Perry would shoot
him. To this he only replied that he
guesed not, and that Joe
who, by the way, is tbe nephew of
old man Perry, wanted money to run
away on. Your correspondent is fur¬
ther informed that Mrs. Tipton says
that Seaborn Weaver, tbe father of
Joe Weaver, arranged and did the
planning for this wicked work of
Tipton and Weaver.
Seaborn Weaver, Andrew Hobbs
and a man by the name of Ranfield
have been arrested and are under
bail for their appealence at the July
term of Laurens superior court, to
answer to the charge of harboring a
convict, Joe Weaver. It is thought
that when the facts are fully devel¬
oped, Hobbs and old man Weaver
will have to answer to the charge of
accessories.
Diligent search is being made for
Joe Weaver, and bloodhounds have
been sent for. He is still in thccoun
ty, having he is been seen last Winches¬ Tuesday,
but now armed with a
ter tide and danger is apprehended
when the arrest is made. Th e great
est excitement prevails over this mat
ter.

A singular and romantic story,
comes by telegraph from Windbm,
Minn., a small town in the southwes¬
tern part of the State. Two young
children wandered into the town Sat¬
urday evening, 'lhey gave their
names as Charlie and Bertie Byers,
<?f Rochester, N. Y. It was soon dis¬
covered that they were girls in boys’
clothing, and then they admitted
that their names were Katie and Lil¬
ly Byers. Their story was that when
very small they lived at Lindsay,

ter their parents’ death, being taken
there by a brother, W. A.
now a resident of Calgary, North¬

The Pass Question.
In view of the fact that the Inter'
State Commerce bill puts a damper
on passes generally, the Macon^ele
grapb contains the following as be¬
ing suggestively and seasonably per¬
tinent:
The Georgia statesmen before
leaving home for tbe summer session
may find it pleasant and profitable
to paste this in their valented hats:
Thou shalt not pass.—Numb, xx.,
18.
Suffer not a man to pass.—Judges
iii., 28.
The wicked shall no more pass.—
Nahum i., 5.
None shall ever pass.—Isaiah xxxiv.
40.
This generation shall not pass.—
Mark xiii., 30.
Though they roar, yet shall they
not pass.—Jer. ii., 42.
So he paid the fare and went.—
Jonah i., 3.
General Manager HainA, eft the
Plant system, has issued au order in
regard to free passes, in which he
says: “Annual passes and trip dasses
issued before April 4, by the Presi¬
dent, General Manager or superin¬
tendents to officers or employes of
these companies, or in excKange with
other railroad companies for their
officers and employes, will be recog¬
nized as heretofore. Annual passes
and trip passes issued prior to April
4 by the President, General Mana¬
officials ger or superintendents to persons not
will or employes be of railroad com¬
panies recognized as hereto¬
fore, except that they will not be
good for passage from one State in¬
to another. Trip passes issued by
heads of departments to employes
will be recognized as heretofore. Af¬
ter April 1, no trip passes will be is¬
sued for passage from one state to
another except to railroad officials
and employes.”—Savannah Times.
A Grand Record.
We pall your attention to the advertisement
of a remedy which hasjstood the test\>f more
than a half century with Increasing populari¬
ty and is universally admitted to have no
equal as a romedy for the cure of diseases or¬
iginating pepsia, Biliousness, in a disordered Liver, sucli as Dys¬
Colic, etc, Simmons Liver Constipation,‘Headache, Regulator
is simple
and harmless, purely vegetable, and can be
safely and advantageously It acts mildly list'd under any cir¬
cumstances. and elloctually and
is which especially valuable us a Family Medicine,
position know it holds in so many homes. We
do not another preparation which can
bring forward such indorsements from heads
of families and those holding the highest offi¬
cial Regulator and social positions. Keep Simmons Liv¬
er in your house, it will reduoe your
doctor’s bill and insure for your families
health and happiness.
Ir seems strange, but it is nevertheless true
that the world contains people who will try to
imitate, eounturfot or substitute something
else for a Genuine, making meritorious article, even
to the extent of a spurious medicine,
risking life and health and it behooves every¬
one to look that they buy only the Genuine,
/ofiln & Co, have have used the precaution to
put on the front of each wrapper their trade¬
mark of a ourved Z entwined around the mor¬

and the true remedies only upheld.
