Senator Hanna is said to have left an estate worth seven or eight million dollars. Mr. Merritt, State School Com¬ missioner, has sent out an excel¬ lent program for the celebration of Washington’s birthday in the public schools. The plant jf the Albany Pine Product Company, was destroy¬ ed by tire on Wednesday morn¬ ing of this week. The loss is about $20,000 with only $4,000 insurance. The fact is brought out by the Educational Review that over 13 , 000,000 persons are enrolled in the Sunday schools of this country. In the public schools t,he enrollment is of nearly 16, 000,000 or only 3,000,000 more. Valdosta lost, by fire, her hand some Methodist church on last Monday morning. It was built a few years ago, when building material was cheap, at a cost of about $12,000, but to duplicate it. now would cost more thar> $1(5, * 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.

TheCommissionersof Lowndes county have let the contract to Algernon Blair, of Alabama, for the building of a handsome court house to cost in the neighbor¬ hood of $70,000.

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.” LOCAL OVERFLOW. Mrs. S. E.
