Mxiiicd *»y the Train.
On last Sunday night the down passen¬
ger train killed Mr. Tom Bowman at
Gaillard station, this county, Mr. Bow
man was standing on the track holding a
lantern which, it seems, ho thought would
be signal enough, without waiving, to stop
the train. Ee stood on the track until the
train earns thundering along, and then
attempted to cross the track, when he was
struck by tiw engine or a car and bruised
to severely that he died in three hours
afterward.
Engineer Mitnrns says that he saw the
men on the track with a light but, could
see no signal for him to. stop, so he only
slacked up a little. When he got close to
the man with the light, he says the man
attempted to crosss the track, He lost
sight of Mr. Bowman and thought he had
bceu run over. Mr. Bowman was found
able to sit up an d able to talk after being
struck but must have been hurt internally.
Mr. Bowman was single and bad no one
dependent upon him for support.

Mr. M. H. McElmumy was in town the

on his place.
The tree was a very large one and had a
cavity in its trunk about 12 inches diame¬

tree. It had been inhabited by bees for
several years, and they bad stored away
lots of delicious “sweetuin” in the hollow
trunk, Wheu cut down it was found.that
*he honeywas stored in nine feet of the
hollow. There must have been about
twenty gallons cf comb and honey. Ever¬
ybody, white and black, had more honey
than they, knew what to do with.

For some weeks wa have been hearing
talk of building up a high school here,
only a few however seemed to he agitating
the enterprise, and we feared that it would
bo several years before a flourishing school
would be conducted at Knoxville.
But today we learn that our fears were
groundless. Several energetic spirits had
canvassed the community and substantial
backing was gotten up
Professor Charles G. Power, of Hillsboro,
a thoroughly trained instructor and taleul
ed gentleman has been engaged to teach
the school for a good salary, and patronage
from different parts of the country has
been promised.
One gentleman in town tells us that he
has promised to board thirteen scholars,
aud the prospects for a large school are
first class.

Dr. CliRoa on the SSnd.
The date set for Dr. Clifton’s lecture is
the 22nd prox 1 and not the 2Gtb, as was
stated in the paper last week. On Satur
urday, the 22nd this, learned gentleman
will deliver the lecture here for the benefit
of the Crawford Guards. A small sum
will be charged all at the door who come
to hear the lecture.
Even if we had an ordinary speaker for
such an occasion, the fact that we would
be helping the military company by ^at¬
tending ought to be enough to impel us to
patronize the occasion with onr presence.
But this is not th* case. For that occasion
we wilhhave one, of th most distinguished
and talented citizens of Georgia for onr
lecturer, and even if the public had to pay
a large price for admission there would be
a big audience. People from a distance
will come to hear such a scientist as .. Dr.
Clifton, for it is rarely the.- ease that geology. one
hours a lecture from, apply anyone science on familial
Dr. Clifton will to
subjects in a manner that, will surprise .and
enlighten ail who Rim.. . Come out
anu briug all your friends. It is not like¬
ly that you will ever have a chance to hear
another lecture of this kind.
