OF the speakers of the day were a lit
tie old and their voices not being as
strong as of yore, it was impossible
for them to be heard at some times.
| can't express my feelings of morti-
location when the venerable teacher
OF forty years ago was forced to take
his seat because he could not cons
mand sufficient quiet for the audi>
ence to hear him, and when looked
about me saw that the participants
in this disrespect to old age were those
who are preparing themselves to
guide and instruct our children.
Young people, you are thoughtIess,
l admit, but stop and thlnkl Re-
member that you stand next to the
parents as guardian and that the ins
tellectual is nothing without moral.
AT the closing while the choir
sang "God be with you the pupils
came around and bid their honored
and beloved teacher sad farewell,
some, perhaps, said goodbye for the
last time on this earth. May God
be with them, and their footsteps be
guided to home where parting is
no more.
This Is an annual reunion and |
will be held again August 10th, 1894. |

Notwithstanding the unseasonable-
ness of the hour, old man Jones was
awakened from his peaceful sIumbers
and compelled to "let the strangers
in.' Murphy Jones, son of John
Jones, was also in the house, both
of whom were placed under arrest.
A man by the name of Kerr was
also arrested, but managed to escape.
A still with ninety gallons capacity
on John Jones place, and seven bar
rels of liquid were destroyed. The
next morning whiie retracing their
steps. the officers heard some loud
talking and swearing near where the
still had been destroyed, and on near
ing the spot they saw several men,
among the number was w. A. Rush,
who was arrested. The other MEM
bers OF the party eluded arrest by
taking to the bushes. Several shots
were fred at them. During the
melee, the muzzle of Marshal Browns
shot gun bursted. The officers ar
rived here Saturday evening with
the three prisoners, who were placed
In jail until the next morning, at

-Abont six weeks ago we publish
ed an account of an entrance being
made and goods stolen from D1.
Nuckolls' drugstore at Toone. On
the next day subsequent to the night
on which the robbery was committed,
tracks were seen leading from the
drugstore and were traced within a
short distance of Martin Daniels
house. This clue proved an impor-
tant factor in ferreting out the matter.
Circumstantial evidence was such as |
TO cause Robert King and William
Daniel. son of Martin Daniel, to be
of committing the robbery,
and that their booty had been placed |
in Daniels house. On Tuesday of
last week the house was searched and |
most of the stolen property recovered. |
King aud William Daniel were not
found until the following Friday, |
and were on that day arrested and |
placed in jail. When arrested King
had seventeen rings on his person.
Both King and Daniel have con-
fessed to being guilty of the charges
brought against them. All the par
les connected with the case are white.

The Reunion at Marathan Academy
SchOOI

| had The pleasure of attending the
reunion of the Marathan Academy
school, which was taught in 1854, '55
and '56 by j, L. Bailey.
The house in which the school was
taught has long since been dilapidat-
ed, 80 the reunion was held at Need
hams school house, this being the
nearest public house to the place
that is dear to Mr.. Bailey and many
of his pupils. 1t was pleasant to
watch the old scho6l-mates meet after
long years of separation. How they
enjoyed talking of their happlest
days; when they were bare-footed
boys and girls studying the blues
back speller and Rays arithmetic;
when they sat on straight back
benches with no desk, and at noon
ate their dinner from little Tin
bucket or homemade basket.
During the three years taught, there
were one hundred and twenty
names enrolled; this year about forty
we're present at roll call. Since last
year one of the pupils. the beloved
wife of Mr.. j. T. Hundley, has de-
parted this life. Who of us thought
that she would not be with us this
year?
The speeches and essays were Very
much enjoyed by all who heard
them. Ii Mr.. BaiIey's pupils did
study the blue>back speller, they
show up to as good or even better adj
vantage than the educated of to-day.
Rev. d. a. Ross lecture was elo-
quent. His touching remarks made |
the tears flow freely from the eyes of
many of his hearers.
DIR. Smith is fast becoming the
orator of our county. His speech |
was we'll studied aud convinced US
all that he is man of much learn
ing.
Mss Pearl Johuson's recitation
was well rendered and showed that
she fully understands the art of elo>
cution. The singing led by Mr..
Oscar Smith was excellent aud
enjoyed by all.
The speeches by w. A Carnthers,
G. A. Duncan and S. q. Eeedham In
defense Of the blue back speller was
by all their hearers, es-
pecially the old school mates.
Hiss Martha Ross read beautiful
and impressive essay. The spelling
match by the pupils would have been
very interesting, but the heat and
tense crowd made it so uucomfort-
bic for the spoilers that they were
'orced TO stop before reaching the

ating crashing across continents and seas,
the earth will give one fearful ghudder
and the door of the family vault. with
out being unlocked, will burst open. and
all the graves of the dead will begin to
throb and heGve like the waves of the
sea, and the mausoleum of princes will
fall into the dust, and Ostend and Sc
bastopol and Austerlitz and Gettysburg
stalk forth in the lurid air and the ship
wrecked rise from the deep, their wet
locks looming above the billow, and all
the land and all the sea become one
moving mass of life-all generations, all
ages with upturned countenances-som
kindled with rapture and others blanched
with despair, but gazineEn one direc-
ton, upon one object. and that the throne
of resurrection.
On that day you will get back your
Christian dead. There is where the COM
fort comes in. They will come up with
the same hand, the same foot and the
same entire body, but with a perfect
hand, and a perfect foot, and perfect
body, corruption having become incor-
ruption, mortality having become i'm

his voice was heard clear across to the

we could easily hear the voices of the

they were using ordinary tones. And
as we come today and stand by the riv-

friends who are gone it seems to me we
stand on one bank, and they stand on the

and our voices go, and their voices come.

Durham Sprague's Sudden Death Y,
terday Afternoon

Durham Sprague's Sudden Death Yes
terday Afternoon.
Death made sudden demand on this
community yesterday, and selected for
its victim Durham Sprague an old and
respected citizen and well-known con-
tractor.
Mr.. Sprague had been at work during
the forenoon and went home to his din
ner at the usual noon hour. He was then
IN his accustomed health, but shortly
alter he had finished a rather hearty
meal he complained of numbness in his
hands and arms and found it necessary
to lie down. He sent word to his part
ner, Mr.. Elliott, that he would not be
able to go out during the day. A few
minutes later he was dead, and when a
physician arrived all was over.
Deceased was a man of apparently a
more than ordinarily robust constitution.
and his death was a terrible shock to his
family. he was a native of Vermont
and AZ years of age. He leaves wife and
four children. the eldest being about 70
years old. The little ones were sadly
distressed as soon as they realized that
their father was dying, and in the frenzy
of their grief ran to the street screarninfr
for help for him.
Mr.. Sprague was member of Sacra-
mento Lodge, l. o. o. F., and also of the
Ancient Order of United Workmen. He
was man ofsterling character and up-
rightness, and his untimely death canses
widespread regret
