PITTSTON.

The alarm of fire which was sounded
Friday night at IL o'clock, and second
alarm about two hours later, merely
"for the fun of the thing" has called
forth howl of Indignation from the
press and public alike who are adverse
to such jocular methods. 1t appears
the Eagle boys We're entertaining their
friends in their hall on the evening in
question when one of the number
slipped out unobserved and turned in
the alarm. OF course 1t had the effect
Of abruptly ending the festivities and
also of putting the firemen, not only
the Eagles, but the entire department
to a great deal of unnecessary trouble
Smarting under the joke, 1t Is alleged
several of the members of another
company, to get even, turned the joke
upon the perpetrators by turning in the
second alarm.
AS the local campaign draws near the
question of political timber for the
various offices to be filled begins to be
a subject for discussion. While there
are several names mentioned in con-
nection with the mayoralty rs prac-
tically fitted to discharge the duties Of
that important office none, as yet, have
publicly announced themselves. Dur
ing the past week the names of ex-
President of Council j. ]. Hart has been
| proposed and has met with much favor.
The argument advanced in his behalf
is that despite the many insinuations
hurled against him during his nine
years as president of the council there
is the first discourteous act, moral or
legal, to be charged against him.

"All that is brightest must fade.
The brightest still the feetest,
All that's sweet was made
But to be lost when sweetest.
How true are these words and how
deeply felt in the bosoms, of the friends
and relations of w. d. Bone.
This young man was born at Mays
vile, Madison County, Ala. Oct. 2Sth,
1869 His earlier life was spent in his
native state, but in the year of 1887.
Sept lst, he removed to Chattanooga.
During his stay in this city, he has
made many friends and was highly es-
teemed by those who knew him. He
has held some important positions in
society circles. He was at the time OF
his death president of the Joint Stock
Investment and Banking Company. He
was also secretary of the South Chatta-
nooga Republican Club and G. NJ. E.
Sunday School.
His health began to fail about May
|, 1894, and though as many as seven
able and skillful physicians were em>
ployed their skill was baffled and on
Aug. 10th, he sank to rest from all earths
ly cares and anxieties.
That body that had been tortured
with misery for four months, was stilled
in death. That soul that for twentys
five short summers, had been imprison-
ed, was loosed TO appear before its max
er unfetered.
His remains was carried to Maysville,
Ala. and put by the side of his mother
and two sisters to await that great Res
surrection. He was buried with all the
honors of the Ancient Order OF A. F. &
A. NJ, of which he was member.
He was a member of the G. M. E &.
Church and received Baptism by the
hands of Rev. F. A. Alexander. He
leaves father, step mothor, three
brothers and one sister, host Of other
relations and friends to mourn his
lost. The grave has won thee
Sleep on, dear boy, sleep on,
He'll know the way was dreary. When Jesus
comes
He'll know the feet grew weary. When Jesus
comes"

VERNON, Sept. 13.-Governor Henry

phraseology of Mr.. Jockeys commits
sion, Secretary of State John L. Craw-
ford ordered the election notice publish
ed, which was done i'll the Chipley Ban
ner, five times, giving notice to the
voters. Professor Charles was lmme-

notice taken out of the paper, and there
