DEATH OF GoyErSon STEPHENS.

GOVERNOR A. II. STEPHENS, of Gsor-
gia, died at Atlanta, Georgia, March 1,
inst. Mr.. Stephens was one of the
most remarkable men ef his time. lie
was born in Taliaferro county, Georgia,
February II, 1872, and was II years
and % days old at tho. time of his
death. In 1882 he was graduated at
Franklin College, Athens, Ga, studied
law and was admitted to the bar in ls-
81. He entered upon the practice Of
his profession at Crawfordsville, and
soon established lucrative practice.
In 1886 he was elected TO the lower
house of the Legislature of his State,
and was reelected for five consecutive
terms. In 1912 he was elected TO the
State Senate, where he took a leading
part in promoting the principles Of the
Wing party. lie was elected on the
Wing ticket to Congress in le43, where
be continued to serve bis party with
marked ability, and conservative de-
pertinent until 1850. He Supported
Dir. Clay for President in 1914. In
1854 he was chairman of the committee
on territories where he clearly estab-
lIshed'the extent of his ability and i'm
huence in securing the passage of the
Kansas and Nebraska act. After tfe
disintegration of the Wing parts, he
identified himself fully with the Demo-
cratic party. He was an earnest and out
spoken advocate Of the policy Of the
administration Of President buchanan.
lie favored the election OF Douglas and
johnson in 1860, and fearlessly de-
nounced those who favored secession in
case of the election of Mr.. Linceln. But

crate government was organized, he
was elected Vice President. During

close of the war he has served in Con.

questioned, his honesty of purpose and
purity of character were above reproach

As it has been two weeks since my

There was large and Intelligent
audience In attendance at tho Blue
Ribbon Club on Saturday evening oi
last week. The program being one
OF the best performed here, we notic-
cd some marked talent iu the music.
Little Floe Smith In her song and
chorus was more than excellent.
"When 'Tis Moonlight" solo by Miss
Minnie Morrow. She took the audi
ence by storm. Minnie has beanti.
fully symmetrical and melodious
voice, and will ere long DO ono OF the
leading singers not only OF ScIo, but
OF the Pacific coast. Miss Matte
Shields, of Albany, sang a beautiful
solo, with chorus. The title OF the
piece we are not able TO gIvo. Nc
doubt you have already received the
report from the Sec'y., as II was voted
by the Club, to furnish the county pa.
pers. So we will not comment fur
ther at present.

THE LOAN.

We understand there is talk already
among some local capitalists to take the
bonds which are authorized to be issued
by the directors with the proceeds eI
which new school house is to be built
A proposition has already been received
from Portland capitalist to take the
whole amount, bnt we are quite sure
that these bonds Can be negotiated on
more favorable terms than are offered
by this gentleman. This loan, we think,
will be much sought after, and we would
advise our directors to take ample time
in which to place it upon the market
upon the most favorable terms.

The snow Is slowIy going of. Feed

will not be 10 great as il would have
been had this storm continued much

The fruit-men inform me that the

loss will be great in this valley.

Times are dull here at present, and
the cold weather has given almost every

one man shovel down bank seven
feet high TO his door so that he could

A dance Of death occurred here in
which one man shot Clay Miller instant
ly killing him and Henry Green was
seriously wounded. Last night the
Hot Lake House, situated about six
miles west Of Union, was the scene Of q
fearful tradgedy.in which Clay Miller q
young man well known in the commun
ity was instantly killed and Henry
Green also well known was seriously
wounded, the ball entered the left
cheek and went through to the skin,
just in front of the right ear
Some eighteen couple had congregated
from the adjoining country to partici'
pate in dance, which up to the time
Of the shooting, was passing off very
pleasantly. The shooting began in one
of the bath rooms over bottle ot
whiskey, the crowd consisting of Clay
Miller, Henry Green, Temple Garner
John Green, uncle of Henry Green
w. j. Gabriel, (the man who did the
shooting) and Collingham. After tn,

The pleasant weather is the wonder
and surprise of even the oldest settlers.
II affords splendid opportunity for
the farmer in sowing grain and plough-
ing. Quite number have their grain
oil sown. A car load of wheat was ro-
ceIved from Salem last week and. was
soon all taken by those in need. A few
yet NEED seed.
The school election was held on
Monday, ID. Andrews the outgoing
director was again elected, also the old
clerk q. w. Smith. The report of the
clerk showed that there were nearly
$50 children Of school ago in the dis
trict, and of that number 125 wero
enrolled in the public school, 100 in the
Academy and l5 attending no school.
II seems hardly credible that one third
Of the children are out Of school, receive
ing no advantage Of free education. A
compulsory law should be- passed in
justice to the tax payers who maintain
tho schools AS well an the children
themselves.
Several changes in business have
taken place. @. w. Cruson and +. II.

hardware, and also intend keeping on
hand full supply OF agricultural imple-
ments. John Hlick has purchased the
building two doors south Of the post.

During the week some $50 has been
added 10 tho funds Of the City Treasu-
ry, by fines imposed by the recorder.
In last weeks issue appeared n com.
munieation signed by several Of our
leading citizens, the sub ject Of which
was TO correct what they were pleased
10 term sn unjust criticism on Miss A.
II. Luse passed by "Leb." some weeks
ago. We do not Edesire To discuss
further the merits OF Miss Luse as an
elocutionist nor the judgment Of the
signers Of that article on elocution, but
will leave it to the public here as well
as elsewhere TO judge whether she CON-
pares in any selection with the mos,
finished eloeutionist. It has been onr
privilege TO hear the lady some three
times and we have heard some of the
leading elocutionists Of the country, aud
our Judgment is, that she, as compared
with them,is nothing more than c clev-
er reader. We have no disposition 70
drive Miss Luse from Lebanon nor 10
deprive any one from having her come
either on her own suggestion OF on in
vita.ion at any time, and those who
desire arc perfectly free TO attend and
she as a public reader has right TO be
criticised. We would further add that
churches, benevolent societies, and
associations, frequently furnish good
appointments for large audiences azd
compensate to parties, who If dependent
on their own merit. would fail 10 have
even fair public patronage,

Two.thirds of the men who 80 to
Congress, the Mobile Register declares,
are completely lest when they seek to
discover the true inwardness of
economic aud financial questions.
Senator Mahone's supporters deny
that his relations with the President
are in any wise strained. Il Is to be
hoped, then, the Baltimore Americam
suggests, that the President will at
least filter them.
People fond of noting remarkable
coincidents viii, the Brooklyn Eagle
thinks, make record of the fact that
the year which is memorable for the
election Of Keifer rs Speaker of the
House of Representatives is also the
year in which the first load of Spanish
jackasses wss landed in this country.
There is danger, the Cincinnati
Inquirer asserts, that Indiana may

Harrison. Indiana seems to be the

not crowd the soil too fast.
