returned on Wednesday evening
last from a visit to his daughter
living at Selma, Alabama, stop
ped at the residence Of Mr.: G. r..
Hays, his neighbor, and at whose
house his only son was sojourn-
ing After spending the even
ing in social chat they retired, all
in good health, Mr.. Courtney
and his son occupying the same
room and same bed. At early
dawn on Thursday morning the
son spoke to his father, and re-
ceiving no response, placed his
hand upon him in order to arouse
him, and failing in this, felt of
him and found. that he was cold
and lifeless. He called to Mr..
Hays who entered the room and
examined the father whose posi-
ton and features indicated that
he died without a struggle. The
Coroner held an inquest and re-
ports that he came to his death

A FamiIy,s Terrible Suffering.

It develops that the blizzard
of last Saturday, when it blew
moderately hard with the mu..
curry from 81 to 40 degrees be.
low zero, was the severest in h Il.
man history. The particulars of
the fate of the German family on
Elm River were received tonight
They were moving from a
shanty into a new house, and
Were anxious to get settled il
better quarters before Thursday.
and before the prevailing biz
zard grew worse, and the mother
was confined. The little boys
we're bundled up and placed in q
dry goods box. The father ami
mother were carrying thugs into
their new house when the over
exertion made her sick aud
caused her suddenly TO give
birth TO a child in the new cold
house. 4 The father stopped with
her for some time and then went
after another boy aud girl girl tth at Il
were making their way from the
shanty to the house. He sue
ceeded in bringing them to their
mother. He then went after the
two little boys in the box, who
were wrapped up more securely
than the larger boy and girl that
he had pi!oted in first. The
storm evidently blew harder and
the man got numb and Devil
dered. When found he was by
the box, and apparently had at
tempted to raise it on his back to
carry it and the boys to the
house. In that effort he failed,
and losing control of his faculties
fell down and passed into dream
land. One little boy was found
sitting upright and the other
with his head dropping forward
into his brothers lap. The for
mer had bit his lips while his
teeth continued to chatter. The
boy and girl we're badly frozen
n the legs, arms, and face, but
,ot fatally. The father not re-
turning to the house told the
mother his fate, and she, after
several hours of physical and
mental suffering, started for Il
half a mile distant.
She walked part way and rolled
! part. How she got through is
more than she knows. The
went IN search Of the
ather and boys, and found them

"There is tide in the affairs
of men, which, taken at the flood,
leads on to fortune" This say
ing has passed into the famil-
iarity of a household phrase, and
there are, no doubt, in all de-
grees and circumstances, people
earnestly impressed with its
teaching; but there is one class
in particular which, decidedly
averse to burdening itself with
any affairs whatever, seems the
most inclined to place its implicit
reliance upon an idea so alluring
to it's INDECENT soul, and to await
vainly, even through a lifetime,
the fullfllment CT it's cherished
dream.
Yet it is possible that there
happens at some time during the
experience of every man an oc-
currence which prompt and
proper action may make, in some
special walk, the foundation of
future success; but it is a ques-
ton as to how often this favor
able occasion is made to serve
its purpose. It is certain, how
ever that failures to grasp the
feesing moment are not as fire.
quent, and, doubtless, as much
distress has followed the embark
ing at an unpropitious season as
from failure TO take advantage Of
an suspicious event. Many have
thus been carried off on the ebb,
to struggle and toll for return
to the point from which they
made their unlucky plunge. Some
men seem to be always catch
ing up.." If there Was half the
discretion and vigor displayed in
going ahead as there is in the en-
deavor to regain lost ground, we
should have to record fewer vic |

Discrimination to discern, and |
decision and tact to turn to &C.
count the valuable opportunity

may indeed feel that he has at
his command all the elements
which constitute this ma gic food
