the Z. S. Naval Academy. These cadet
ships belong to the 18th Congressional Dist,
and they each pay, besides tuition, $40. 90

spectfully by Mr.. Harris, of Cedartown,
and Mr.. West, of Rome. The course OF
instruction is very thorough and comprehen-
sive; the cadet graduating as End Leuten.

A party of land plospectors recent
ly came upon some ancient works
near Shawano, Wis. They first
found what appeared to be the ruins
of an old well, walled up with stones,
IN which Il moderate supply of cold
water was found. They removed the
stones, which had eayed in, to the
depth Of about three feet, Further
examination revealed the fact that
the ground around was regularly
paved with stones for at least an acre,
varying from three feet deep in the
centre to foot at the outer edges.
The stones are covered with moss.
which may be rolled up like u blank
ct, disclosing the stone as clean as If

is timbered and trees two feet in di.
ameter are growing above the ruins,
while the forms of "a prior generation
OF trees even larger lie in moss and
decay at their feet and above the
ruins also.

A REMARKABLE NEGRO.

About five weeks ago a negro man
died in the Providence neighborhood
who has record that is hardly ever
equaled and never excelled. lie was
- years of age at the time of his
death and left an aged wife who died
a few days ago and who is said to
have been 70 years old. This old
man was former slave of J. A. B.
Ward and his father and he and his
wife lived with the Ward family
nearly fifty years. lie was never
heard to swear an oath, never accus-
ed OF lying or theft, never had dis
pute or quarrel with his wife, never
had a whipping during slavery nor
was he ever known to take u drink
of whisky. Was always faithful and
obedient, peaceful and reliable. He
and his wife had Is children and
they lived to see 100 defendants who
are now living. Occasionally heroes
are found in the humble walks of life
and but few can point to a brighter
and clearer record than this unpre-
tentious old negro who now fills an
unmarkable grave among the old red
hills of Stewart county. Lumpkia
