after midnight. The best of feeling prevail
ed, and not an unpleasant word marred the
evening. To the managers of the ball, Messrs.
Tollman, Rapp, Ahrens and Cary, must be
given credit for the excellence Of the arrange
ments; while the pleasant face of Mr.. killa-

On last Friday night about o'clock, the
old mansion house on the Moses p. Collins
place about three miles south of Ironton, was
burned.
The fire seems to have caught from the
stove pipe, and the building being altogether
of lumber, and being old and dry, and the
wind high, the whole thing went in hurry.
NJ. Joseph Collins, who lived in the house,
saved nearly all his household property. In
Guiding the house, the loss would be about
seventy-five dollars.

Don't Brighten Children.

The Macon Graphic tells the following
sad story: Those who were al the depot
last evening might have seen sight that
would have forever acted as a terrible
warming against the senseles5 and almost
criminal practice of frightening children.
Mr.. c. T. Armstrong, of Heard County.
was carrying to Milledgeyille a dwelling
idiot only ten years old, that lew months
since was a bright and intelligent boy.
Itappears that he and his older brother
were in their bedroom one night, when
some one thoughtlessly or maliciously
stuck horse head or masked head of
some kind in at the window frightening
the little boys so badly that they at once
lost their reason and shortly afterwards
went blind. The older brother was first
taken to Milledgeville where he died, and
now the younger is going over probably
to share the same fate. Death, in fact,
would be relief to him, blind and idiOtic
as he is.
The perpetrator of such o hideous piece
of folly will, no doubt, carry through
life the lesson thus learned, and it is to be
hoped that this sad story will De circulated
and have its due effect.
