The Columbus Euquirer-Sun re-
ports that horrible accident occur
ed Brownsville late Friday evening,
by which Willie, the thirteen year
old son of Judge w. a. McElvey,
lost his life. He climbed up on q
wagon loaded with wood, aud unfor
tunately his foot slipped aud he fell,
catching on the tongue. This frigbt'
oned the mules and they dashed of
with the wagon, throwing the little
fellow to the ground. The wheels
passed over his head, crushing his
skull, and he died almost instantly
Sever al persons witnessed the scci'
dent, but were powerless 30 prevent
the terrible result.

SOLD,

One of the lumber dealers in
Michigan has for the past three years
been supplying dealer 10 Albany.
For the first year everything went
we'll, but at length the Albany man
began to complain He found a
shortage of "culls' in every car load
sent him ard demanded DISCOUNTS
therefore, and last spring it was i'm
possible 10 please him NJ matter
how carefully lumber and shingles
were Ecu led and billed there, he
was sure to write back that they
were not up to the stand ~rd
a few weeks ago 81 car load OF
"star' shingles were sent him The
star shingles beat anything made
in the country, and they knew it in
Albany as we'll as in Michigan, bur
AS soon az the car arrived the shluN
giles were hardly clear butts, and
he could not unload the car until as
sured of discount of twenty-five
cents thousand The Michig auder
had suffered long, but the end was
nigh He had inspected every bunch
of shingles on that car, and he made
up his mind to go to Albany and 10
spect them over egain The dealer
had never seen him, and the VOL
VERNE walked into his office as
would be purchaser of some extra
fine shingles.
"'ve got exactly what you want,
promptly replied the Albanian, Ave
got carload Of Michigan stars out
here, which lay over any shingles
you ever saw"

as straight as the ten commandments,
and be has never sent me a stick of
second class stuff. Como and SEQ
them"
The Wolverine quietly pulled out
his business card aud laid it down on
the desk. The dealer took it up,
read tho name and eat down with
queer feeling in bis knees There
was an awful silence as they glared
at each other, and it was a full min

A WEEK. POINT IN FIRE INsU
RANCE.

Here is the wesk point in fire in>
surance. contained in a nut shell, -
The Willingness to issue a policy be-
fore fire without protecting the
company. and then trying to protect
the company after the fire by bar,
raising the policy holder. The time
for company to protect itself is be-
fore it issues po!icy--the same as
merchant does before he sells a
bill of goods When mau applies
for credit atary we'll regulated sto' e,
his standing and reliability are Look
ed after before credit is granted -
So should il be in fire insurance,
When a man desires a policy, bis
standing aud responsibility should
bs known before policy ia granted,
and tho value of the goods insured
fully understood to be enough to
cover the amount of good loan.
But in the unseemly competition to
issue policies, risks are not ca efully
selected, and the result is that in
case of fire all claims are liable to
be contested, 10 which event the in
nocent are generally the sufferers,
while rognes and thieves are the
gainers.- American Railroad Jour

THE DEADLY PoLITICs. Tho
man who has once been addicted
to politics finds it hard to reform and
break the letters that bind him lie
makes resolve, IN his mind, thai
never again will he touch the fetaI
politics, and he goes along fcr
months without thinking Of indulg,
ing, but 10 an unguarded moment,
after the campaign opens, he tLiaka
of something that can be played on
the opposition, and he takes the first
step, and then he goes down, until
election day be is peddliog tickets
like an old stsger, ut night he is
around hearing the returns, at mid
night he is whOopiug it up with the
boys, and at a. m. he goes up
stairs at home on all fours, bis hat
overw helmed by good majority,
bis head as uncertain aud wavering
as the chances of his party, his
tongue as thick as opposition votes,
and his breath as strong as the al
mosphero in q malt house. After
the election, and his patty is beaten
as usual, he swears upon stack OF
bricks 10 his hat that be will touch
not, taste not, handle not the intoxi~
eating and demoraizing politics
but he lies and he knows it. What
the couory wants is society for
reforming men WHO are addicted to
polltics, a society whore he Gao go
whou he feels the ola appetite com
ing on, and have BIZ. thaughts turn
ed to different channel. He 10
weak, and he wants his brothers and
sisters TO take hlm by tho hand -
particularly the sisters-and brace
him up and make him strong against
the enemy. When he feels like
taking part 10 campaign where he
knows he will surely fail and com
ing out with the emell Of kerosene
and beer on his garments and cheese
on his breath, be wants to feel the
strong arm of the society around his
waist, end hear the members singing
songs of Zion, instead of hurrshing
for somebody for office. Bot If euch
a society we're formed for the re
formation Of the politicians, just
about the time it got the converts
strong enough to walk alone the
confounded society would nominate
a ticket of it's own, and 60 into tho
campaign making more noise than
all the other political parties, ard
the reformed politicians would fud
that they had jumped out Of the
frying pan INFO the fire. Twas ever
thus since cbiIdhood's hour.

a CANNON TO MACH JOE
BROWNS PIKE.
From the Alhens Watchman.

Laying 10 the streets Of Athens,
Georgia, is queer>lookiug old
double barrelled cannon, that is a
source OF wonder to the passers,by,
as no one over before saw a weapon
of that peculiar make. This gun is
the patent of an old gentleman named
Gilleland, the father of our present
Clerk of Council. The inventor
thought he had discovered weapon
that would revolutionize the mode of
war, and he had this gun cast as
experiment. His plan was this :
H moulded two barrels together and
loaded them with shot linked to.
gethel by chain. He claimed that
this shot would sweep down whole
companies at a lmo and carry all
before it, When his trial gun was
cast be invited his friends to witness
the test. Selecting an old field near
this city, he planted biS cannon IN it,
and aimed his shot at a pine thicket
through which he expected to clear
road at single sweep Of hia
deadly shot. But it not ouly proved
a disastrous failure but a dangerous
experiment There seemed not to
be "a good understanding between
the two barrels, and one went off 10
advance of tho other. Hence one
shot went forward while the other
flew back wards, narrowly missing
the head of the daring man who un>
dertook to touch it off The gun
was brought back to the city in dis.
grace aud no further use made of it
until the late war, when il was noun
ted TO do duty in The event cf Stones
mans raid. When the Yankees
came hero they found the weapon,
and not knowing it's back acting pros
clivities spiked it with rat,tail files.
Afterwards some of the boys drilled
out one OF the touch. holes and used
il TO fire Christmas, salutes.

Judge Winfree made the race as a
Democrat, though he was not the oan-

ty, by vote of over eleven hundred
majority, defeating a man who was
elected four wears ago by thirteen
hundred majority. The main cause Of
Judge Longs defeat was The alleged
unfair manner in which he was nom.
mated in the Republican convention
It's stated that five delegates from
Pembroke, who were instructed fol
another candidate, sold out aud voted
for Long for $l2 each. Whether
this was true or not we do not pre-
tend to say, but certain it is that there
was great disaHeclion. Judge Win
