STRANGE DEATH.
A COlOred Man Predicts His Own
Death.

Our Upshaw correspondent relates the
following strange death in that community:
One of our noblest colore6 citizens is
dead. Some two or three weeks ago, Call
win Edwards, living on Mr.. John Hewitt
place, while working on the new house of
Friendship Baptist church, of which he was
a consistent member, mashed his finger,
and thinking to ease the pain, put. some
paint on the wound. 1t caused what was
supposed to be blood~poison; the pain
spread over his body. almost paraIyzing
him, and on last Tuesday he died He
told his family and friends at noon, that he
would die at 4 o'clock. He counted the
hours as they went by, telling those around
him, Il will leave you at A." And sure
enough, about o'clock he breathed his
last Calvin Edwards was raised by Mr.
Simeon Edwards, one OF our oldest and
most respected citizens, and all Of Mr..
Edwards family bear testimony to CaIvin's
rare worth and fidelity. There were so
few negroes like him that our community
1
can i'll afford to give Up, and we feel that
when such characters are SO rare, it is the
duty Of their white neighbors to pay a
willing, loving tribute to their worth. We
do this deliberately and most gladly, and
point.to him as an example to bis race
Industrious and economical, he made a
good living tor bis family, and mutteripgs
of discomfort we never heard frem his lips.
Kind ard respectful to all, he realized tina,
the white man was his true friend, and for
this confidence nereceived the confidence
of those around him. He died happy,
triumphant death and was buried of Rock
Springs the following day. bis pastor Ed
A. Penn officiating. God bless his memo
ry-his life ard death, and give US more
like him EARNEST WILLIS.

AFRICANS WITH TAILS.
From the Popular Science Monthly.

From the Popular Science Monthly.
Various stories have been told of
the tails Of the Nam Mans of GEN.
trail Africa, who have also been as.
serted to be cannibals. Their tails
have been described as smooth and
IS hairy, IS peculiar to the men, and
as possessed by the men and women
both. The most interesting and
circumstautial account of this fea-
ture is given by Dr.. Hubsch, of Con-
stantinople, who examined tailed
negress. Her tail was about two
inches long and terminated in q
point The slave dealer who owned
her said that all the MAN Mans
had tails, and that they were some
times ten inches long. DR., Hubsch
also saw a man of the same race who
had q tail All inch and a half long
covered with a few hairs; and he
knew at Constantinop|e the son OF a
physician who was born with a tail
an inch and half long and one Of
whose graudfathers had like ap.
pendage. The phenomenon, he
says, is regarded generally in the
east as g sign OF great brute force.

IGNORANCE VS.. KNOWLEDGE.
[For the Marietta JOURNAL

For the Marietta JOURNAL
knowledge will ever govern ig-
norance, and If you mean to be your
own governor, you must arm your.
self with the power which knowledge
gives. Education gill be the sum
shine Of your home. Many Of us
are growing up and when arrived to
manhood will be unable to read the
tickets which we will annually pre-
sent at the polls. You may think
yourself free, but in fact you are
slaves. Ignorance always has been
and always will be the slave of
knowledge. If information is gen.
orally difused among the people the
people will always be their own
masters. Enligh tened people:never
have been and never can be enslav-
ed, but if the door of knowledge is
closed upon the poor, the great mass
OF the people, if education is confin>
ed to the circles of the rich, the few
will govern. You may for awhile
be fattered with the idea that you
are free and rest contented under
the delusion, but your dream will
soon openly be constrained to wear
the chains which ..your ignorance
forged. But study at home and our
liberty is perpetual. IF We close our
ears against the admonitions of his
tory and shut our eyes against the
light of experience the tairest pros
poets that ever opened upon the
world will be blighted and the hopes
of humanity and the prayers of the
plous will be fruitless and unavail>
ing. Remember if the bud is blast
ed, the tree will yield no fruit. If
the springing corn be cut down,
there will be no harvest. So il the
youth be ruined through fault in
their education, the community
sustains loss which cannot De re-
paired, for it will be too late to cor
rect then when they are spoiled.
We are wrecking our liberty by
sleeping in ignorance. Study at
home and light and knowledge will
be extended in the succeeding. 1t
is q great enjoyment to known what
is going on in the world. If you
can read you can know it without
some one telling you, Has your
schooling been neglected then you
must rectify it by course of read
ing. 1t will be a blessing to you
rather than burden and it will
throw light and knowledge around
your domestic hearth.
