Miss LiDbie d. Kelsey, one OF the teach
ers in the Lewis Normal School in Macon,
writes letter to the OHIO State Jottrndl
detailing the recent burning of a negro
college at Quitman. She says:
'To-day { Wednesday, the 18th we were
shocked at seeing Prof. Ayres and family
and six lady teachers at our door asking
for shelter. They presented a grotesQue
appearance. They were clad in what
ever they could catch while flying from
the burning building. They lost every
thing excepting what they had on or could
catch in their flight. Some had only a
sacque over night clothes, and
one lady mad one shoe and
one slipper. The railroad kindly
passed them here to-day. The white peo-
pie OF Qutman gathered in a mob at the
hour OF midnight around the A. Nj. Asso-
cations home and school buildings while
Prot. Ayres' family and six young lady
teachers were quietly sleeping, poured
coal OIL on and around the buildings, ma
king escape from them next to impossible,
and then set fire to both the home and
school buildings. 1t was with difficulty
that they saved themselves with what
they had on, or anything they could catch
in their flight. The last teacher that was
taken out has received such n serious
shock to her nervous system that her
physician here lsdOuhtIulof her recovery.
Zone, and only one, house in Quitman
opened its doors at the dead of night to
those homeless ones, and that was IA min
ister's home. All night long squads Of
the mob marched in front Of his house and
threatened HIM with violence, and swore
that they would burn his home the next
night.
1.-The Governor Of Georgia is very bitter
against these missionary schools, and
nearly the whole white population join in
this hatred toward them.
The teachers here in Lewis normal
dare not go out even in the very early
evening without a gentleman escort for
tear of personal violence. Some OF the
clergy here in Macon call the teachers
white niggers, the slum Of the North
etc. The Lewis normal school is doing a
grand and noble missionary work here in
educating these heather and down-trod-
den ones in our own country, and it is at
our own peril, as much 30 as if we were
in the wilds Of Africa. We know not
when we may fare the fate of Quitman.
at is very strange that these Southern
people cannot see that in the education
and Characterization of these degraded
ones that their own lives and property
Will be more secure"

very indignant and refused to touch the
'possums, and threatened to withdraw
their allegiance from the cause. Horton
proved to their satisfaction that his pos
sums were not cats, when the feast was
resumed amid genuine applause, and in
Few moments every voter was full of
'possum and peace.
Eleven persons were arrested at Atlanta
wednesday for violating the election
laws. c. p. Johnson, the Decatur street
saloon man, was the first one arrested.
Soon after dinner Capt. Grim was APP
preached by prohibitonist, who COM
planned that Mr.. johnson was using
money to procure votes. The complain
ant averred that he could establish the
fact that Mr.. johnson had bought votes,
and asked for his arrest. Captain Grim
escorted Mr.. johnson to police head
quarters, where he gave bond for his APP
pearance, and then went 10 work again.
Mr.. johnson denies that he attempted to
buy votes. Bob Sims, colored. George p.

AT first he got 500 per 1000 for his young

A few days ago a novel and amusing
chase was witnessed on the writer's plan
tation. A COW with a 2.weeks-old calf
was turned in the plantation with other
cattle: there we're also some mules graz
ing at large in the place. The calf began
TO run and frlsk around, which attracted
the attention Of the mules, and soon they
gave chase 10 the calf. Toe calf, when
pressed, began 10 bleat. Then four cows
went for the mules, and set up vOcifer-
Gus believing, which started a little dog
after the crowd, and two little negroes
who were at the spring near by, being
frightened, mounted trees and called
loudly for help, so that the believing Of
the COWS, the bleating Of the calf, the bark
OF the dog, and the screams OF the negroes,
all combined, presented a rare musical
iargon. Strange 10 say, the calf and one
mule jumped into gully six feet deep,
with perpendicular walls, without injury
TO the mule, but at the expense OF the little
eairg life,

THE DUTIES OF THE CENTER SEX
HOW BEST FULFILLED.

HOW BEST FULFILLED.
What great task is assigned TO wo-
man. Its dignity can not be elevated. 1t is
not her province to make laws, to lead
armies, nor to be at the head of great en-
terprises, but to her is given the power to
form those by whom the laws are made.
to teach the leaders of mighty armies and
the governors of vast empires. She is
required to guard against having the
slightest taint of bodily infrmity touch
the frail creature whose moral, intellect
ual and physical being is derived from
her. She must instil correct principles,
jncuIcate right doctrines, and breathe into
the soul Of her offspring those pure senti-
ments which in time to come will be Z
part of themselves, and bless generations
vet unborn. Yes, to woman is given the
blessed privilege of aiding the sufferer in
all the various stages of his existence. She
smiles serenely at the christening, and
weeps at the burial, while she soothes the
bereaved heart. This is her province and
duty. Q Y ct how can she fulfill her mission
unless possessed Of strong and healthy
body? The preparation of DIR. ;. b.
Hartman, and known as PERUNA, rs Just
the thing for persons suffering from a ma
iority of the complaints incident to this
climate. 1t is invaluable to women, and
Mrs. 7. w. Reynolds, of New Lisbon,
Columbiana county, Ohio, is noted ex-
ample of what the medicine can do. She
SAYS she has suffered for years with con-
gestion Of the lungs, catarrh in the head,
and was troubled with bad cough. She
had tried number of physicians, but
they all failed toscure her. She was in
duced to try PERUNA, and Immediately a
marked change took place. After using
one bottle her cough ceased and in short
time her other ailments were cured. She
is now completely restored to health, and
gives all the credit to PERUNA. Mr.. J.
w. Reynolds, her husband, was a con-
firmed invalid. He could not sleep well,
neither could he work. He used PERUNA,
and as result, was completely restored
to his former vigor and strength. He
SAYS he now feels like a new man.
Mr.. Bernhardt Seubs, st. Clair, st.
Clair county, Mich, says: have thor
oughly tried your PERUNA in the various
diseases to which parents and large fam
ily of children are ever liable, and l find
iii every case to be just the thing needed.
No family can honestly be without It"

OUR NEXT FAIR.
TO the People of North Alo5anaa :

10 the People Of North alabama:
1t is now fully assured that the An
nual Fair Of the Huntsville Agricul-
tural and Mechanical Association will
be held in the city of Huntsville IN
the early part Of next October. The
success OF this Association is fully evil
aenced by the fact that it has sur
vived all other kindred associations IN
North Alabama. It's benefits have
been felt not only in the social feature
Of gathering the people together, but
in the marked improvement in agricul-
ture and stock-raising. 1t has given
an impetus to the breeding Of fine
horsvs, cattle and hogs, which has
done a great deal in advertising the
superior advantages of the Tennessee
Valley as a stock-raising and grass
growing country.
We can restore the beauty and fer
tility of our farms if we will but di-
versify our crops and give more atten-
ton to the improvement CT our stock
and the culture of grasses. In this |
see the only hope Of the farmers OF
this county.
/ earnestly appeal to the people OF
North Alabama and Middle Tennessee
to give an earnest and liberal patron
age and support to this Association.
The Directory will use every effort to
make our next Fair excel ali previous
exhibitions. Our time and attention
will be given unstintedly to the ac-
complishment of this object, and we
| feel assured that crowning success
awaits US.
To the people Of the city OF Hunts
vile it is useless for me to say that
our Annual Fairs have been great
benefit to our city. A few kind and
liberal citizens have always responded
to tne calls of the Association, but |
feel that | should urge our citizens to
give US more general patronage by
personal attendance during the Fair.
This / think but reasonable request.
IF the citizens OF Huntsville will give
US their earnest support and cooper
ton, l can safely guarantee that our
next Fair will surpass anything OF the
kind ever held in North Alabama.

tnral and Mechanical Association.
