BURIED TO DEATH.
THE HORRIBLE FATE OF A LITTLE
BOY SATURDAY MORNING

Nesr PARROT Some Successful Farmers.
Interesting News and Personal Items
From Parrott--What Has Hap
pened There the Past Week.
Wehave to chronicle one of the saddest
and most horrible occurrences that ever
happened in our community. The three
year old child Of Mr.. w. V. Perry, one of
our most esteemed citizens, was fatally
burned Saturday morning. The little
fellow complained of being cold while
eating his breakfast and his mother sent
him to the fire to finish eating, and went
about her domestic duties. Soon she
was startled by the cries of her child.
Hurrying into the room she found him
enveloped in flames. When he saw her
he said, Mamma, | am burning upm
She tore the burning clothes from him
and summoned a physician. Everything
that could be done for the little fellows
comfort was done, but all to no avail.
He died about sunset. He was a remark
ably bright and affectionate little fellow.
Even while suffering the most intense
pain he explained how he caught fire.
He.said that stick of wood rolled down
and he kicked it back with his foot. His
tragic end has cast a gloom over the
whole town. The parents have the
deepest sympathy of all our people.
PERSONAL AND NEWS ITEMS.
Here comes another successful farmer,
Mr.. B. B. Bridges. When it comes to
farming he is one among the best in the
county. He says he has made this year,
from six plows, ninety bales of cotton,
six hundred bushels of potatoes and has
plenty of everything else at home, and
has on hand one hundred hogs.
Messrs. Jim Hays and Dave McCrack-
en-, two of TerTelPs young and popular
men, were shaking hands with their
may friends here a few evenings ago.
These men never make less than twelve
or fifteen bales of cotton to the pillow, and
plenty of hog and hOminy in proportion.
Judge Greene, of the Twelfth district,
spent the evening here some time ago.
Jude Greene is one of TerrelPs best and
mos tsuccessful farmers. We were truly
glad to have the Judge with us and hope
be will come oftener.
Mr.. r. W. Terrell received his new
saw mill few days ago. He is gong
ahead putting it down. He has one OF
the best in the country, and will soon be
ready 20 serve the public.
Mrs. C. E. Smith and Mrs. Flowers,
both of Weston, have located here. The
good people of Parrott are glad to have
them here and welcome them as neigh
borS.
Capt. j. H. McClelland, one of Daw-
sons popular business men, passed
through here Friday on his way TO Col
umbus.

A Former Dawson Man Captures Two
Incendiaries.
In Do1gherty county, on the night of
goth ult., the stockade of lessee Land, a
prominent planter of Dougherty county.
was destroyed by fire together with sew
eral horses and mules and large guam
tity of corn, fodder and hay.
Since the burning Mr. B. F. Aycock, a
former citizen of Dawson, has been act
ing in the role of private detective, and
a few days ago warrants were sworn out
by him for j. w. Williams and Henry
Mack, charging them with the crime.
Williams, who is white man, and has
been tenant on the Land place for sew
eral years, has made a confession to the
effect that he watched the road while
Mack, who is negro, set fire to the
stockade. The loss was not covered by
insurance, and fell heavily on Mr.. Land.
There is private reward of $50 for
the arrest and conviction of the incendla-
ries, and one by Governor Northen of
$3.50, all of which goes to Mr.. Aycock.
There is very little room to doubt that
both Williams and Mack will receive the
full limit of the laws sentence.

they all succeed, the tax would be 1T

amount 100000 as the amount won by
the book-makers, not as mathematiclans,

that the bOOk-makers take from the pub
lie in an ordinary race-meeting II IS
probable that there IS a small and select
ring Of bettOrs who win az pretty nearly

must average $4,000, at each meeting.
This would make a grand total Of $780,
900 that the public pays for the privilege
of betting at n race-meeting Of fifteen
days. II would be hard 10 get at the vol
ume Of betting al each race-meeting, but
half a million dollars is a very large sum

have to be emptied 90 make IL up. The
ordinary visitor 10 a race-track probably
