total Indebtedness $50 $3.50 $4,000 of
the above Indebtedness comes due this
year and it will be necessary for you
to make some provision for this.
We also have a floating Indebtedness
Of $4,000 with unpaid taxes of S34 900
to pay it. Our schoolhouse will cost
us some $4,000 and n large sum of
money Will have to be expended upon
the bridge. 1t seems to me that it
would lie wise for the city to fund a
large portion of this: money can be
hired at less than four per cent and it
Will be saving to the city to have the
greater part of the amount funded on
a term OF 20 years as the interest
would be less than on floating debt

Death From Joy.

A tragic affair occurred at Rock
Run, in Floyd county, Ga, last Thurs
day. There was a middle-aged wo-
man living near the furnace whose
son, Charles Vincent, had gone out
West several years ago, and from
whom no tidings had reached his fam
lily in such long time that he had
been given up for dead. Thursday
he reached home, having planned a
pleasant surprise for his mother, who
had so long mourned him as dead,
She was absent from home, calling on
a neighbor, at the time of his arrival,
and messenger was hurriedly dis
patched TO carry the welcome news to
her. When the message was deliv-
cred the shock was too much for her,
and, with cry of JOY, she arose to
her feet, staggered forward and fell
heavily to the ground and died in
stantly. The young man is almost
wild with grief over the sad and
tragic result Of his homecoming.

Not a Good Gift"

a young man, who was to make his
first political speech, arranged with a
friend in the audience that at the first
indication Of embarrassment on the
part of the speaker he should pretend
to have fit, 50 that during the ex-
citement created the speaker should
have time to recover.
The night came. The young speak
er began to stammer. The chum, Sit
ting in the second row of the audi
ence, started a twitching of the face
and jerking of the muscles that was a
very good imitation of a man about
to fall in fit But it happened
that next to the pretended sick man
sat a doctor. He at once began an
examination, and within two minutes,
rising angrily to his feet, he said TO
the curious crowd:
Gentlemen, this man is no more i'll
than you are. His illness is wholly
pretended, and doubtless is simulated
for the express purpose Of preventing
our young fnend"-poiuting to the
man on the platfonn-"from finish
ing his speech"
The crowd roared with anger. They
beat him and kicked him, tore his
clothes, and threw him down two
flights of stairs to the street.
