Burned to Death.

Mr. Richard G. Hunt, bar. tender for Mr..
Wade IL. Wallis, met with horrible death
on Wednesday night of last week. About
twelve o'clock that night there was waited
to Marshal Banks oliactories an offensive
stencil of burning flesh and cloth. He was
impressed at once that there was a fire in
some of the buildings on the east side of the
square. He saw light in Mr.. Wade Wall
lis barroom, but thought nothing strange
of that as he knew that Mr.. Dick Hunt
slept there. About this time Mr. James A.
VIM, deputy marshal, came on duty, and
Mr.. Banks called him and said he smelt
something burning. Mr.. Winn replied
that he did too. These gentlemen then be-
gan to make an investigation, and became
satisfied that all was not right in Mr.. Wal
lis saloon. Using Mr.. WINS shoulders
as a ladder, Mr. Banks peered over the
transom, and discovered Mr.. Hunt PROSTATE
in the fire place, while the flames were
steadily feeding on his clothing and crisp
ing his flesh. Going to the Kennesaw mills
and borrowings crowbar, the two marshals
and negro man, named Valentine, broke
open the door and entered the saloon The
spectacle that met their gaze was a sicken-
ing one. They pulled Mr. Hunt out of the
fire, not only to find him horribly burned,
bat dead. The following morning, coro>
ner's inquest was held but no additional
particulars were learned. save that Mr..
Hunt had been complaining of being sick on
Wednesday. The supposition is that after
building the fire. that he either fell dead or
had an apoplectic fit and fell into the fire
There were no visible signs of death
struggle to get out of the fire, which leads
one to presume that he was preciptated into
the fire in an unconscious condition. The
death of the unfortunate man is indeed
sad one. He was an old and well known
citizen, and had seen prosperous and happy
days, but as time plowed wrinkles in his
face and enfeebled his frail body, adversely
and sorrow crept in upon him, and there
was but little to cheer and comfort him.
He moved about among our people quietly
and unobtrusively, and was man of clever
disposition and kindly impulses He leaves
wife and four children.

The Atlanta Musical Festival.

We call our readers attention to the at
tractive advertisement of the Atlanta Mu-
steal Festival in to>day's paper. This Fes-
tival, which opens November 18TH will be
the greatest musical carnival ever given in
the south. An Atlanta exchange says:
Every few people in Atlanta have an
idea of Just what magnificent treat is in
store for them in the coming Musical Festi-
val TO be gwen in November. Last night
full rehearsal was held in the Young
Mems Christian Association hall, fully two
hundred voices being present. Professor
Barli directed the chorus, and if we could
Judge from his pleased countenance, as that
big crowd of vocalists caught up the spirit
of the songs and gave them sweet and per
feet rendition, he certainly anticipates an
overwhelming success. Already it is charm
ing to hear these choruses, but when the
volume is augmented by trained orchestra
of fifty pieces and the delegation from other
cities, 1t will simply be what has never been
heard in the south. The reporter last night

Another Negro Child Burned to Death.

On last Tuesday noon, while Jack Jones
and his wife, colored, were from home
engaged at work for some of their neigh
bors, their three children amused them
selves by playing in the fire with straw
broom, which blazed and caught on fire the
clothing of the oldest one, who was about
five years of age. The child ran frightened
to the bed, setting it on fire and soon the
blaze shot out through the roof The. faith
err and mother ran with all possible speed
to the house, and when they arrived there,
they found the oldest child outside Of the
door dead with all of it's clothing entirely
burned of, and its flesh crisped. The
mother rushed into the burning building
and barely had time to rescue the two
younger children, who were severely burn
ed and may not recover. The contents Of
the house were burned, and these two
industrious negroes lost all their clothing,
bedding, cooking utensils, etc, and were
in sad and pitable condition, when some
of the citizens of Upshaw, in this county,
where the fire occurred, came forward and
rendered needed and timely assistance,

Addenda to Report

Ofdiscussion of Phoenix Club on Wheat.
One fact was omitted in the report on
wheat growing by the Phoenix Club, which
we now present, as the JOURNAL has an
abiding interest in the success of this club
and the advancement Of our agricultural in
terests. and we here state to the club that
we will at all times publish all matter OF
general interest to our farmers, elected by
the experiments or discussions Of the club.
The reporter omittedt to state conclusion
of the club, from facts and arguments pro
dueed, that "cheat," or "cness, is not the
product OF wheat, but a cheat of its own
kind. and a curse to this great industry;
that by proper preparation and selection Of
the seed the value of this product will be
greatly enhanced; that one bushel OF good,
sound seed OF the proper variety, on well
prepared and fortified land is sufficient;
that an acre of land properly prepared for
wheat will yield a good crop of clover and
that the clover sod will usually insure a
good wheat crop.
