Rheumatism OF the Heart Carries Him
Gu Suddenly.
Fremont, o.. Jan. l7.-Ex-Prssident
Rutherford B. Hayes died at II O'Clock TO-
night. Early In the evening an inquiry
elected the response that the
general had passed a fairly we'll
day and was resting nicely. The
change from better 10 worse was
rapid. and at IL o'clock the ex-President
passed away. The first intelligence Of this
was received when Webb G. Hayes went
downtown and quietly announced that his
father had just died.
Ex-President Hayes was brought here
last Saturday, suffering from an attack of
rheumatism OF the heart. 1t was the
second attack OF the kind he had suffered
within two weeks and his condition was
regarded as somewhat serious and excited
the alarm Of his family. announcement
given them by the family physician
led them to believe the general would soon
recover. For this reason all knowledge of
ex-President Hayes illness was kept from
the public, and the fact that he was suffer-
ing from heart trouble did not become
known until yesterday afternoon. While
DR.. Hilbert remained almost constantly at
the patients bedside no alarming symptoms
appeared until this evening, when be be-
came rapidly worse.

The Result of Merit.

When anything stands test OF fifty years
among a discriminating people like the
Americans, it is pretty good evidence that
there is merit somewhere The value Of q
medicine is best proved by it's continued use
from year 70 year by the same persons and
families, as we'll as by q steady increasing
sale. Few, il any, medicines have met with
such continued success aud popularity as
has marked the introduction and progress
OF BRANDETH's PILLS which, after a trial
OF over fifty years, are conceded to be the
safest and most effective purgativc and
blood purifier introduced to the public.
That this is the result OF merit, aud that
BRANDETH's PILLS actually perform all that
is claimed for them, Is conclusively proved
by the fact that those who regard them
with the greatest favor are those who have
used them the longest.
BRANDETH's PILLS are sold in every drug
and medicine store. either plain or sugar

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 1.-THE state board
Of education to-day held an important
meeting, at which the question of making
history part Of the course of study in the
common schools OF the state came up for
final action, this matter having been dis
cussed at q meeting held a week ago. At
the former meeting it was practically de-
cided that history should be added to the
course OF study. but at the meeting to-day an
order was passed making it compulso y
on the various boards of county schools
com missioners TO adopt a history and
compulsory on students Ia the
common schools of the state
20 study the history prescribed. The board
nlso requires that all teachers ia the COM
mon schools shall be examined on history
the same as they are upon other studies OF
the common school curriculum before thew
are granted license to teach. In referring
20 the action of the board Commissioner
Bradwell said that the adoption of history
ms part of the studies in the common schools
meant the outlay Of about 500, 900 on the
part OF the people Of the state who are

The State School Commissioner Work
ing to Secure the Fund.
ATLANTA, GA. Jan. 17.-On Feb. 5a cese
will be decided by the court of Glasgow,
Scotland, which will probably result in
about $4,000 being sent to the state Of
Georgia for the education Of the negroes of
Chatham and neghboring counties along
the coast. The case to be passed upon
at that time is the disposition of
money left by John McClearn OF
Glasgow for the education OF
the descendants of negroes living on what
wss, in 1884, the tune OF the beQuest, known
as the GOwrie plantation. This plantation
has been located on Argyle island on the
Savannah river, eight miles from Savau-
nah. The state school commissioner, who
has been negotiating TO secure the legacy
through the United States consul at Glas-
gov for several months past. to-day re-
ceived the final papers TO be fled in
the case. These papers simply set forth
the authority of the state board
OF education to take charge of
the money and the authority OF the state Of
Georgia to educate the negro. The money,
which was derived from the sale Of part OF
the Gowrie plantation, was beoueathed to
negroes or their descendants residing on that
plantation for educational purposes As 1t
will be exceedingly difficult to apply the
money strictly as IL was intended, IL is be-
iieved that an effort will be made
20 have IL turned over TO the negro
normal and industrial school at Savannah.
AT all events the money will be used for the
negroes of Chatham county and border
counties. as Commissioner Bradweli in in
stituting bis claim TO the fund, set forth TO
the Scotch court that in distributing it
there 1t would in ali likelihood reach those
for whom it was intended on account of the
pecnliarity Of coast negroes. who rarely
migrate to other parts permanently.

Dixie, Ga, Jan. 17-That of the past
three weeks has been the longest cold spell
that we have ever had in this section. The
cat crop is reported badly damaged, es-
pecially in low lands. This icy cold weather
has offered our farmers grand opportunity
for saving meat and many fine old yorker
has been consigned to the slaughter. The
farmers in this locality are In fine shape
having an abundance of home-produced
supplies. Having raised an immense
grain crop the past season and having had
such fine weather for saving their meat
there is no complaint In the "hog and
hominy" question. Germ has been selling
here this winter as low as 80 cents bushel,
and ew seventy-five bushels sold at pri-
vate sale this afternoon at $40. Corn 10 be-
ing loaded in this town to-day in bulk for
shipment 10 Dothan, Ala, and q few days
ago a shipment in bulk was made from here
to Lenox on Georgia Southern and Florida
railway.
Hartman g. Clark have bought out the
variety works at Boston, and will remove
the entire plant TO their mills at Dixie at
once, which is quite an addition to their
building supply trade.

ingly to see him leave.
Miss Marca Austin who has been on a

returned home Saturday evening.
Judging from the very large quantities
OF fer tilizers that are being received at this

another season.
