The city council at its recent
meeting repealed the ordinance
levying one-quarter of one per
cent. school tax and passed a
new ordinance levying a tax of
onc-sixtcenth of one per cent.
for building purposes for the
public schools and three-siX-
teenths Of one per cent. for. the
support and maintenance of
the schools proper. Thus it will
be seen the tax levy for schoo
purposes is not in the least
changed and docs not effect the
tax payers, except that by this
division Of the fund we secure
the benefit of the Peabody fund
and make a saving to that eX-
tent. In our report Of the coun-
Gil proceedings published yes
terday morning the repeal of
the one-quartcr per cent. tax
ordinance was omitted.

Horrible Death.
T act Werin

Last Wednesday week or
Mr.. R. T. Flewellen's plantation
near Whitman in this county
a negro girl about twelve years
old was engaged in making a
fire in the cooking stove fol
dinner, when to accelerate the
process she applied coal oil
from a can. 1t caught fire and
exploded tearing off two fin
gers and setting her clothing on
fire as well as setting the kitch-
en- on fire. She ran into the
house with her clothes ablaze
and jumped into a bed setting
it and musquito bar on fire; she
then run out into the front yard
and ran round in a circle till
every vestige of clothes was
burned from her person when
she fell from exhaustion; quilt
was thrown over her. She was
then taken into the house and
after suffering intense agony
died at 6 o'clock the next
morning. Her flesh was liter
ally roasted and fell off her
hands and feet. She retained
consciousness to the last and
shortly before she died called
for a looking glass, and after
looking at herself bid all those
present good bye and peace
fully expired At the time of
the accident no one was at
home except Mr.. Flewellen's
grandmother and a hired man,
Mr.. J. T. Brown, who by his
presence of mind and prompt
action succeeded in cxtinguish-
ing the flames in the kitchen and
house and thus saved very

Pretty and Young

In every feature but the hair, which had
grown white from fever. This lady at IS
writes us: Il have used Parker's Hair
Balsam six months and am more than pleas
cd with it. 1t has restored the natural
brown color of my hair and given it silky
softness, nicer than ever before. There is
no dandruf, no falling hair, and it leaves
the scalp so clean and nice and cool that l
am ever SO much pleased, and l feel and
look like myself again" Disinfectant prop
critics that enter chemically into this prepa-
ration render it healing, cleansing, healthful
and the beautiful, fresh and vigorous hair
it produces, together with its property of
resto ing the hair to its natural youthful col
or, leaving the head entirely free from dam
druff. clean and healthy, surprises no less
than it pleascs. Buy a bottle OF your drug
gist, X. Z. Luhn, and test its merits.
