Death of Leroy Brown.

At about half past one o'clock
last Saturday afternoon, Mr..
Leroy Brown died at the home
of his parents, Mr. and Mrs s. V.
Brown, in this city, having been
confined to his bed with typhoid
fever several weeks. The burial
took place at the city cemetery
Sunday afternoon, the Dawson
Guards, Of which he was a mem
ber, having charge of the cereno-
ny. The following members of
the company acted as pall-bearers:
l.. d. Hatcher, T. R. Thornton,
L. A. Hatcher, E. L. Rainey, 0.
|. Chambers, d. ID. Davis. After
the rites of the church had been
performed by Rev. A. NJ Williams,
the company fired three volleys.
A large crowd of people of Daw-
son end vicinity attesteG their es-
TEEN for the deceased by attend
ing the burial.
Mr.. Brown was IL his 2lst year
of age. Besides being a member
of our military company, he was
one of our fremen, and always dis
charged every trust with fidelity
and credit to himself. He merit
ed the esteem and confidence Of
his associates, besides all others
who knew him.
He was not member of any
church, but for some time before
his death he became anxious for
his future welfare, and more than
once expressed desire for
prayer and the belief that he had
made peace with the Supreme Be
ing.
An estlmable young man has
gone to his reward, and let us
hope that his home is now in "t1at
mansion not made with hands
May this be a consolation to the
scrrowing parents, brothers and
sisters.

We propose to have an eating
match between r. E. Wilkerson,
of Chickasawhatchee, and the
champion eater Of the State, and
if Mr.. Wilkerson eats as much
as he did ON last Saturday at
the basket dinner at New Hope he

Our literary school will be re-
sumed on next Monday, the 2lst
inst. A full attendance is expect
ed.
Among those who joined the
Primative church at Union last
Saturday was our young friend,
Mr.. c. G. King, and Mr.. Mark
Miller, both from the Methodist
church. Very interesting services
were held there Sunday.
The Third Quarterly Conference
for this district was held at the
New Hope church last Friday,
Saturday and Sunday. Four min
listers Were present, and though
the crowd was not as large as was
expected, on account Of sickness
in the community, the house was
comfortably filled at each service.
A large basket dinner was spread
on the ground, Saturday to which
your reporter and r. E. Wilker-
son, as we'll as a good many 9TH
ers, did ample justice. At the
conclusion of the business portion
OF the conference a rising vote of
thanks was rendered your report
or and all those who assisted in
buying the horse for Mr.. Lewis.
The sermons curing the confer
ence were very fine, especially the
one delivered by DIR. Mcdonnell
at IL a. m. Sunday. Collections
for missionary purposes were very
gratifying. The next Quarterly
Conference will be held at Caper's
Chapel. On Sunday night DIR.
Mcdonnell preached to large
crowd at the academy.

Four Interesting Items.

We get the following four items
from the Macon Telegraph, writ
ten from BrOnwood under date Of
the 1lth inst:
MIR. A. W. Flemming brought
the first bale of new cotton to
Bronwood this season, and has
gathered fifteen bales from 4 two
mule farm to date. He was in
town yesterday to pay for his Tel
egraph and Messenger, and to an
nounce that there was a new boy
AZ his house, twelve pounds heavy
and one day old.
4 negro boy and his dog, while
hunting on Mr. George Hills place
last Saturday, were bitten by a
rattlesnake. Both have since
died.
Cane, potatoes, peas and turnips
promise splendid yield in this
section. Cotton pickers are scarce
at 40 cents per hundred.
Mr.. w. H. Prince, who lives
north Of Dawson a few miles, runs
two mules on his plantation and
thus far has hired no help this
year. He will make rs bales of
cotton, $50 bushels of corn, 800
bushels Of oats, 100 bushels of
field peas, five barrels of syrup
and has raised SO many potatoes
that they are roofing out all his
fences.

Iniullctinn.

Thursday an injunction against
the A. p. & l.. r. r.. was fled in
office, at the instance of DIR. S. b.
Hawkins and Mr.. G. G. Sheppard.
1t seems that the company was
proceeding to CROSS the lands of
the complainants in Webster
county without their consent, and
was taking such liberties as were
OF great injury to the property;
such an injury as was irreparable
at Common Law. A rule Nisi
was had, and the road meanwhile
is stopped from working upon
that part of the road. The case
will be heard at Chambers in a
few days. Damages are also al
legged in the bill to the amount Of
several thousand dollars. The
public will await the result with
great interest, and whatever may
be the ultimate outcome of the
case, certain it is, if the complain
ants so desire, they can keep the
road at a stand still for a very
long while. Americus Republi-

When the time arrives for us to

Of the few who have not settled by

duty to perform, in fact, we be-
lieve that it will just break our

boo-hoo-ing right now, but must
restrain our emotions long
enough to give timely warning.
If, after the first issue in January,
you fail to receive the JoURNAr,

1t is an Infallible Cure for I'll

Not cure-all, but an excellent tonic,

OF this popular preparation, the Tele-
graph and Messenger, of Macon, says:
Most Of our druggists handle the prep
aration called 0. l. c., which simply means
Old Indian Cure, and many of them are
selling large quantities Of it. This medi-
cine has a strong hold upon the confidence
of our people, who regard it as an honest,
reliable old remedy. 1t is manufactured
by company in Perry, Ga, who own the
original Indian recipe. The rapidity with
which the demand for it has increased,
since its introduction in our community, is
simply wonderful, and can be truthfully
accounted for upon but one ground, and
that is the real merit of the article, for its
advertising here has been limited, as COM
pared with many other preparations that
have been left far in the rear in the race

The Eminence Constitutionalist
pays the following tribute to VIM. NJ.
Cravens, Esq, who has just been
nominated for the State Senate from
the district of which Henry county
is part:
ale is poor, without wealth or in
lluential friends 10 push his claims,
and we are assured that in canvassing
four counties, that he had but thirty
five dollars TO eXpend, that he never
asked a man to vote for him, and he
says that he never made use of an cx-
preston or was guilty of an act dur
ing the canvass for which he would
have cause to blush if he were on his
diving bed. All honor to such men.
In him the people will find fearless
and able advocate of their interests.
Ills powers Of oratory arc above
mcdiocrity. lie is well posted upon
all questions of interest TO the public.
But once on the floor of the Senate,
though fearless, he will be as modest
as a girl of sixteen years. lie will
not be frequent speaker upon the
floor of the Senate but when he does
speak all will recognize the fact that
he has something to say, something
that should be heard, and from
which something may be learned"

"A Bunch Of Keys"

Flora Moore's Bunch of Keys Co.,
will appear at the Opera House next
Saturday evening, 2Sth. The Terra
Haute Courier has the following to
say of the Company: =
"Of all jolly, rollicking, FULFILLED
combinations of nonsense that dram
artists have given us, the "Bunch OF
Keys" given at the Opera House last
night, is certainly the most mirth-
provoking. There is laugh from
the time the curtain goes up until it
falls on the last act, and there were
many sore sides after the ridiculously
funny scenes in the Grand View
Hotel in the second act. Miss
Flora Moore as Teddy Keys proved
a great favorite, being a graceful
dancer and possessing sweet voice
so well displayed in popular airs.
If the old saying be true, that every
laugh draws nail from ones coffin,
then every member of last nights au-
dience will be buried without a cof-
fin"
This is one of the best shows OH
the road and should be honored with
good house. Tickets on sale Fri
day morning at Hollands Il Rodgers.

Preston Slayden, the Dickson coun-
ty forger, who was sentenced to the
penitentiary at the last term of the
criminal court was shot and killed
on the 18th at Tracey City in an at
tempt to escape from the guards, af-
ter serving four weeks of his time.
Slayden it seems, made break for
liberty and had gotten about seven
ty-five yards when the guards seeing
he was about to escape opened fire
upon him, and he fell from one buck
shot in the brain and four in the
back. The circumstances attending
the arrest, trial and conviction of
Slayden are still fresh in the minds

was lynched by mob of his own
race. He was taken to a railroad
trestle and all old negro in the crowd
knelt down and offered up a prayer
for the "Po' misfortnate brudder
about ter vacuate this yearth." He
protractcd his prayer TO such a
length that, after waiting half an
hour, an impatient member of the
mob called out to him"to cut dat dam
prar short" The rope was then adj
justed around the murderer's neck,
he himself assisting in placing the
knot, and he was showed off the tres
tie and dropped fourteen feet. His
neck popped like dry stick. The
body was cut down the next morn
