GONE TO aEAP THE REWARD OF q
WELL SPENT LIFE.

Professor VIM. Lyon, who ia SO we'll
and favorably known throughout this en-
tite section as teacher, died last Thurs
day afternoon after an illoeas of several
mouths. He was a teacher by profess
sion, not having given his time or atten-
ton to any thing else. Since his gradu-
alton from the South Carolina College in
1S49, he was engaged in the school room,
until about two years ago. when his
health began to fail. Few teachers were
ever more successful than Prof. Ligon,
and very few ever enjoyed the re0ard of
seeing more of their pupils take high
position in the various callings of life.
In entering Colleges Prof -Ligon's pupils
invariably took and held favorable posi-
tions. In competitive examinations his
stIdents we're generally successful.
There are now in this County hun
dreds of men engaged successfully in the
various callings of life, who got their
education and training under Prof.
Lyon. And he leaves behind him thou.
sands who will ever remember him as
their friend and instructor, and whose
love and respect and admiration for their
deceased teacher is the best testimony
that be could leave behind bin of a we'll
spent life. His pupils loved him notwith.
sanding he was strict and firm in disci'
pline:: Professor Ligon was Christian
gentleman of unimpeachable character,

Henry Ward Beecher once said: "I
plead for education, not because it is the
highway to prosperity in Law, or in med
icine. or 10 the pulpit, or in political
life, or in science, but because it means
manhood. Iplead for education as the
indispensable condition Of continuing,
complete and perpetual happiness" OIL
how do wish our young people could SO
see education, and seek it for the happi-
ness its possession gives, and not for the
dollars and cents they can see in it. So
often we hear young, men say, II don't
need education, for I never expect to be
anything but a farmer, or blacksmith, OF
carpenter, OF s.,me other mechanic y

Entering the hall separately they took

his utter ignorance of America soon be-

Finally, however, statement concerning
the size of Americans was too absurd to
be endured in silence. The speaker had

short of stature, never exceeding at the

A Rich Colored Woman,

Richmond, VA, January 5.--Judge
Leake this morning rendered decision,
which if not set aside by the Supreme
Court, makes Bette Thomas Lewis the
richest colored person in Virginia. The
suit has been pending for two years and
involved the estate of the late W. A.
Thomas, worth s25O,00O. Mr.. Thomas
was retired dry goods merchant of this
city. Bette was his daughter. Before
his death he gave his bank book and the
key to his box in the bank, containing
all his otocks and bonds, to her. The
legal fight turned upon the question
whether thi. constituted a gift of all the
property. Judge Leake holds it did.

Fad Of Boston's Dusky Bellies,


The colored @omen of this city have
learned that it is possible to take tie
kink out of their hair, and there is quite
q sensation over the discovery. The
rush to have crisp locks straightened is
becoming general, although hut few of
those who have successfully been smooth.
ed out are willing to admit that their hair
was ever otherwise than straight and
glossy. The fad as yet has not reached
the male sex, and at the Sunday evening
meeting of the A. NJ. E. church one Of
the deacons warned the sisters against
their sinful pride in attempting to i'm
prove on the Lords handiwork. He VAS
followed by an aged sister, who said:
"If God had. intended us to have
straight hair He would have given it to
us in the beginning. God never intend
ed it, and I, for one, shall be contented
with whatI've got. It's sin before the
Lord and a vanity to have your hair
Strengthened"
The idea was introduced by young
colored woman from Virginia. She her.
self has glossy bang and back hair
as straight as that Of the late Sitting
Bull. She says her own hair was for
merly crisp and kinky, but that an old
Canadian woman told her how. to make
it straight, and this information she is
now imparting for consideration. The
customer is told first to wash her hsir
and come with it well dried. She does

Clever Capture.

Martin Menke, who keeps the butcher
shop at Tenth and \ streets, has for some
time past-in fact for over a year-been
regularly missing large and choice chunks
fmeat which are let every morning T.
the hooks in front Of his place by the
slaughter-house men.
He watched for the thief or thieves, but
was never able to effect 2 capture. lie
complained to the police several times,
but the officers were equally unauccass-
full.
Lately the depredations became more
annoying, inasmuch as the thieves carried
off large and more choice chunks than
formerly. MI Menlle hurried down 10
The Police Station again and registered
another complaint. This time the police
resolved to do or die, so those indotatiG-
able thief catchers, Officers Maley and
Gibson. were detailed to do the old sleuth
business.
The vigil of the Fidocqs, wednesday
night and yesterday morning, was cold
and weary one. The slaughter-house
rlen came, left their wares and went
away The officers became the more
watchiul, even though their pedal eX-
trenities were becoming the more numb.
''Ihis is another one OF those fakes, l
gueSs,'' remarked Detective Maley TO
his cOmradn. Il never knew OF a case
YET that"
"Sh-h-hr Gibson clapped his hand
over Maley's mouth, and pulled him into
the dark recesSes of neighboring door
way, pointing up the street at the same
time.
The shadowy outlines of a man could
be seen stealthily approaching the meat
10 or hapaI1Cn
he was approaching nOiselessly, and he
was glancing around iurtively in the
dark to see if he was being followed or
watched. He stole up to the hooks and
unlocked gigantic piece OF liver, and
| was about to tlGat away when the doughty
officers sprang upon him and bore him to
the earth.
Tie liver purloiner nearly expired
from fright. 'Wha-what's the matter?"
he gasped as the officers jerked him TO
his feet and headed him for the Police
Station.
"Oh, nothing's the matter. my friend
only we're going to take you down and
see what judge Cravens thinks about this
little transaction Of yours replied Otfi-
Ger Gibson.
But, gentlemen, Pm friend of

| lieve Black Bart was a friend Of Wells
| Fargo's, too," he added,
| 1t was no use demonstrating. The pris-
oner was waltzed to jail and thrown into a
] dungeon cell. He was surely one of the
desperate crooks who intest the city at
present, and the officers had made an iIn-
! pOrtant capture.
But the prisoner managed to get word
to Menke, and the latter called at the
Jail. Hello, Smith said the butcher,
shaking hands with the prisoner. ~ es,
| forgot to tell you," he resumed, turn
ing TO the officers. that Smith here is a
friend of mine. and | allow him to take
one of the liyers from the hooks when
ever he wants 'em. He's all right. It's
