A THREE-YEAR-oLD HERoINE.-A re
markable feat was performed by the little
three year-old daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs
Frank Smith Of Pelican, Mimi, and niece
Of Mr.. and Mrs. S. NJ. Woodwork, Of
Audubon. While Mrs. Woodwork was
on q visit to her sister, one night Mrs.
Smith WAS taken alarmingly Ill. Mr.. Smith
was away from home at the time, and 10
one near the house to render assistance
save Mrs. Woodwork and the child. Mrs
Woodwork could not leave, so she called
little Angie and asked her to go to the
house Of q neighbor, three-quarters of q
mile distant, and summon assistance. The
child did as directed in an incredibly short
space of time, and upon her return with
the neighbor it was found necessary to
summon physician. Ii was now nearly
dark, and storm brewing; yet this brave
little heroine again took the road and went
to the nearest neighbours house, a distance
of one and d fourth miles in the opposite
direction from her first trip. where size
found a man to go for a physician. Ere
her return to her home the storm had so
increased as to rendered her progress very
slow, and the vivid and constant lightning

heart Of manyIan older pedestrian yet this
three-year-old child bravely and faithfully
performed her mission and returned in

ISL YOUNG KENTUcKIANs--BoTH
KILLED.
[From the Franklin Yeoman.l
Daniel Brown, was a local for the Shelby
ssSentinel,'' two weeks ago burlesqGed u
Younger brother Of Bryon Yount, who had a
fight with a young Perry-both boys being
under fifteen years OF age. Saturday even
ing last. John Yount, the boy, met Mr..
Brown at Cooper's, and, taking him asid :.
asked him something in regard to the az
ticle in the etSentiI,el." MI. Brown not
making the matter satisfactory, John
Yount expressed his boyish indignation
Brown slapped Johnny over and walked
off. John reported the affair to his older
brother, Byron, who espoused his quarrel
and during the evening he and Brown
passed some high words. Each knowing
the others disposition we'll, parted and
prepared themselves for the next meeting.
Brown borrowed little fOur-ShOt pistol
from his friend James EdWards,and Yount,
after seeking in vain for a weapon, took q
pistol from his private drawer.
Thus prepared, the two walked toward
each other and met at the railroad. one on
one rail and the other on the opposite rail.
In this position Brown asked Yount when
be was ready. Yount replied, s'Now," and
both fired simultaneously into each other
only five feet apart. Yount's ball entered
Browns right breast. Browns ball enter
ed the lower part of YOunt' abdomen and
ranged downward into the leg. BroWn'con-
tinued to fire, and emptied his four barrels,
| one ball entering Yount's wrist, another
entering his right side. Yount's pistol re-
| fused to .revolve, and while under fire he
| spat on his thumb and endeavored to
wrench the cylinder around, but failing he
closed with Brown, and they pounded and
pummelled each other with their pistols
until they were parted. They again ran
| together, and fought until both fell from
| exhaustion. When taken apart Browns
grip was still upon Yount7s arm, which
had to be opened by friends forcing open
| the hands.
| Both parties were laid upon the platform

) doctors summoned, but no relief could be
afforded Brown. While lying thus, Yount,

him out the way. Brown died ut 2 o'clock

eted until Sunday evening, when he, too,
died, after suffering great pain. Brown
was graduate Of Eminence College, was

A letter from President e. L. G. Minor,
of the Virginia Agricultural College at
Blacksburg, states that there are several
vacancies in that institution, which can
be filled on application to the faculty ac-
companied by testimonials as to character
and preparation of applicant. The unu-
sual and unexpected success of this valua-
BILE school for farmers sons, makes any
notice of the peculiar fitness of It's presi-
dent and faculty, and its merits as an edu-
cational institution Of the land, a useless
task on our part. The courteous and en-
ergetic president, solicits correspondence
from the farmers of our Valley who have
sons to educate.
The County School Board of Augusta,
as officially announced by DR.. r. S. Ham

SOMETHING THAT CAN BE UNDER
STOOD AT THE SoUTH.-The changes in
social position at the North in consequence
of the stringency of money seem to be like
those that we of the South lave seen re-
sulting from the war. Jennie Collins,
founder of Boflin's- Bower, the home for
Boston working girls, has just made her
annual report, in which she notes the diff
ferences in wages between the present and
ante-war times, about which so much is
said as respects girls wages. Formerly a
girl received from SIS to $40 per week, and
paid So for board. Now her wages range
from So to 500 but she is also obliged to
pay SIS for board and higher rates for all
other expenses. Miss Collins says:
s'Many kind ladies who have hired thei1
servants of me in past years have been OBJ
liged to apply for employment themselves
of late. l sent lady to hotel as house.

it was that her room was in the attic with
two of her former servants. Another case
was that of girl who learned that her

out home. She Immediately consulted
her husband, and assured the lady that it

| made her what she Was, therefore, she was
| welcome to the best that her house afford

HARD TIMES IN GERAANY.-Those who think
the times are hard here in the United States,
especially as connected with our leading in
recently published statistics of the iron trade of
Germany. The capital invested by thirty-two of
the largest iron and steel manufacturing com.
p1nies in that country amounts to $75 OBS OOO
and the net loss, exclusive of interest and de-
probation in the value of property, was
81, 795, 900. Only six of the companies paid any
dividend whatever, and the most fortunate of
these six was one of the smallest companies,
which divided 60 per cent. The PFussian Iron
and Mining Company of Dusseldorf, with a
capital of 81 100000, actually lost S605 600 on
last years operations, and S215 900 on those of
the year before. The net loss of the thirty two
com pAuies IN two years has been 50 770 0O0.-

In an Ohio circuit there -four
ished once, like a green bay tree, a
preacher by the name of Burdsell,
who showed his earnestness over a
theme by the amount of clothing he
removed during the discussion of
the text. When the Sunday was
rather warm and the text was a
pretty good one, such as elbow can
ye escape if ye neglect so great sal
vation?" this brother would take
off his coat early in the hour of the
calculation. AS the terrors of the
world, from which man ought to
to escape, would open up to his ru-
raj imagination, his long, black
'neckerchief, which was more like a
bandage for broken limb than for
clerical decoration, would be sud
denly nnwoppd aud be hung across
the high blx in which the elocption
was taking place, and onward
would move the language if not the
thought. By the time this memo
rable preacher had reached the
close, and was pounding the Bible
by way of peroration, there was
nothing left on the man except a
few of the essential articles of the
toilet.-Prof. Saoing'8 Alliance.
