ing of this week. The loss is
about $20,000 with only $4,000

* 00 They had about $7,000 in¬
surance on the building, and the
Methodists of that little city have
already gone to work to rebuild.

Do unto others as you would
others should do unto you; do
not bear false witness against
your neighbor; keep the com¬
mandments; obey the laws; tell
truth; be honest to yourself as
well as your fellow-man; bear no
malice, but judge all men with
charity, and life will be sweeter
and more profitable, and the
world will be better and your
neighbors’ faults will not seem
quite so unpardonable.—Valdos¬
ta T ; lnes.
The latest addition to our ex¬
change table is the Quitman Grit.
It is a neatly printed six column
four page paper to be published
monthly, and is edited by Dr. .1.
H. Boozer, who thinks that Quit
man and Brooks county needs
reforming along Some lines and
.building up in others, which he
claims cannot be done by the two
papers already published in that
town, because they are the or¬
gans of factions and cannot do
and say needful things that will
be said in the Grit, whose col¬
umns are open for the free dis¬
cussion of all questions that may
be of vital interest to Quitman
and Brooks county.
Can some one tell ua where the
Mitchell county candidate is?
We are confident there are office
seekers hid among the bushes
and elsewhere if they can only
be smoked out. All over the
statb gentlemen are announcing
for office but the aspirants in the
good old county of Mitchell are
strangely quiet. Two news¬
papers are wailing to publish
your announcements gentlemen,
and you should not keep us long¬
er in suspense. —Peiham Jour¬
nal.
Come to the front, gentlemen,
and let the public know who you
are and what you want. It will
only cost you $5.
Jeff Kenton, Caught and Com*
mitted to jail.
Jeff Kenton, who has been a
fugitive from Justice since April
1902, at which time he was
charged with having killed John
Trent, another negro, was caught
by Sheriff Fordham, of Decatur
county, on Saturday night of
Feb. 6. He was in a bar and
was in the act of taking a drink
when Mr. Fordham captured
him.
Sheriff Smith was at once
notified of his capture and im
mediitely went after him and
brought him back to Mitchell
county where under a special
warrant issued by Judge Spence
he was arraigned for committal
trial on Wednesday morning of
last week, and after bearing the
evidence he was committed to
jail without bail to avail the ac¬
tion of the Grand Jury at the
Spring term of Mitchell Superi¬
or Court, which convenes on
Tuesday after the 3rd Monday
in April.
The State was represented by
Mr. E. M. Davis while Messrs.
Sam S. Bennett and E. E. Cox
represented the defense.
Kenton w; s c ir ied to Thomas
ville for safe keeping.
Dr. Lee Hand Dead.
News was received in Camilla
on last Monday afternoon that l)r.
Lee Hand, a cousin of Mr. J. L.
Hand, of Pelham, had died at his
^iome4n Faceville, Ga., of Pneu
that morning. Dr. Hand
was a brother-in law of Mrs. W.
N. Spence, who with Judge
Spence left Camilla Tuesday
morning to attend the fu.-.eral.
SENATOR HANNA IS DEAD.
The distinquished Ohio Sena¬
tor and^ Republican Leader pass¬
ed away at 6;40 o’clock Monday
evening at the family apartments
in the Arlington hotel in Wash¬
ington, after an illness extended
over nearly two months filled
with appai’ent recoveries, follow¬
ed by relapses and finally drift¬
ing into typhoid fever, which, in
his weakened condition, he was
unable to withstand.
The funeral services over the
remains of this noted man were
held in the senate chamber at
noon cn Tuesday after which
they were taken to Cleveland,
Ohio, his home, in a special train
provided for the purpose of con¬
veying the remains with the fun
eiul party.
The death of Senator Hanna
removes from the stage of politi¬
cal as well as pub ic life, onetf
the most conspicuous persons at
present known to this country.
He was campaign manager fer
the late William McKinley, and
it was no doubt due to his able
management in which he applied
practical business methods to
politics, that resulted in center¬
ing upon his friend the highest
honors within the gift of the
American people.
This brought him prominently
before the people and his own
s ate at once honored him with
a seat in the United State’s Sen¬
ate, which he was serving his
second term besides which he
was. at the time of his death,
serving his second full term as
Chairman of the Republican Na¬
tional Committee
Marcus A. Hanna’s place in
the councils of the Republican
party will be hard to fill, for he
was undoubtedly their strongest
man so far as practical purposes
in politics are concerned.
His death was not as tragic as
that of his warm personal friend,
the late President McKinley, byt
has gone to be with him in
the other world, if we are to
judge by these words spoken ol
him by commissioner C. A. Evans:
He was a man whose private*
life was above reproach and as
an executive he was a mest re*
markable man. His loss is sure
to be felt by the entire country.”
