Old-Time School Bows

"J. B." in the Fort Payne Journal.
 In my meanderings my memory was car- ried back to the days of long ago, when heard of prank some school boys played on their grim old professor. The pious old teacher opened his school by having all the pupils stand while he read chapter from the Bible, after which he spent an hour on his knees asking the mercies of an Allwise God upon the bad boys and rude girls of his school. He made it obligatory for every pupil who could read to study the lesson for the following mornings exercises. One day the boys noticed that the lesson was about Noah ana his wife and the following chapter was description of the ark. They saw that the lines that were last on one page road, Noah took unto himself wife. She was," and by placing the two leaves

 head. He experiences no i'll effects.

 Appeal of the Negroes
 The executive committee of the McKin- ley and Hobart alliance Gan organization of colored mem, has addressed an appeal to the constitutional convention. The commit tee says:
 I've realize that you have signally demonstrated your superior administrative abilities, that by reason ofIcenturies of ad- vancement over you have become a more intelligent people, and we are willing to abide by the fruits of your superior civilization asking only that the constitu- tion of the United States, that the sense of justice inherently universal in the higher races, and that the will of God, in whose sight all men are created equal-be not vio- lently dealt with. We plead with you to grant us at least common rights and in the largest manner consistent with good gov ernment.

A Bolt of Lightning

From the Thomasyllle Argus. sfs3ii
 Mrs. F. NJ Dunnaway and relatives in town were shocked and saddened very much on Sunday last by the receipt of telegram announcing the death of Murfee Dunaway, a lad 13 years old, and son of Howard Dunaway of Lamison. The noon train north carried a number of relatives to Lamison, where full particulars of the sad death was learned. It seems that between and o'clock on Saturday eve ming young Dunaway was attending to his duty of feeding the stock in the barn. A young brother was sent to see what was detaining him. He discovered him lying on pile of corn, apparently asleep He reported this fact to his mother, and she sent him the second time to awaken the boy. He returned to his mother and told her that he could not wake him. At this the mother took alarm and went to see for herself. When Mrs. Dunaway reached the barn she found that her hus- band and two other gentlemen, who had returned in the meantime with their horses, and had been told by the boy that his brother was asleep in the barn, were carrying the boy down. They thought at first it was a case of heart trouble, and set about to revive him, but on a closer examination 1t was discovered that he had been struck by lightning. The light ming had struck the barn and hit the boy on the back of the head, and passed down one side and across the abdomen to the right leg, leaving a scorched mark in it's path. The lightning bolt which killed the lad was the only one of a very light storm, and hardly noticed by any one of the family The remains were laid to rest in the family burying ground on Sunday. The sudden taking away of their promising boy has plunged the family into the deepest sorrow. The sympathy of the whole countryside goes out to the bereav- ed parents and family in their time of sorrow. The same stroke killed valua- ble mule in the stall directly beneath where the unfortunate boy fell

 Today I asked one of the fleet com manders concerning the defences of Key West
 "Key West Is easily to be defended from Spanish attack" he replied. "A shift of the channel buoys would do it. It would stop a hostile fleet twenty miles from shore. The artillery here would hold any small boat attack in check, and before an enemys fleet could feel it's way in with lead lines, our own vessels could be here."

A ShOt-Proof Chicken

From the Florence Herald.
 While the Colbert was lying in port Sun day morning a chicken escaped from her deck and took to the bank. Bob Cranche, the engineer attempted to kill 1t with Q shotgun and fired on it at ten steps, the charge tearing a hole in the roof of the warehouse. Bob fired another shot which brought down the danger signal on top of the drawbridge, and then retired mad at the jeers of the spectators and the defiant manner in which the chicken was crow ing as the Colbert backed out of port.

HELP THE COMMON SCHOOLS.

The following letter from the Rev. s. M. Hosmer, presiding elder of the Talladega district, shows how the efforts of The Age-Herald are appreciated throughout the state:
 Talladega, Ala, March 8, 1898. Editor Age-Herald:
 I wish to express my hearty approval of your position in reference to our pub lie school system and funds The state should by all means increase the common school fund, instead of making large ap- propriations to schools that can only benefit the communities where they are located. Let us have better common schools schools of longer terms with com potent teachers, and higher education will take care of itself. The state owes it to herself to improve the common schools that she may have better and more in- telligent citizenship.

ing these paroxisms it seemed that every
moment would be my last. I he best
doctors aud all the celebrated Asthma
cures did not give me even temporary
relief I used six $500 bottles Of one
cure, but the first relief obtained was
in using ByasiHW ~ Balm. That was in
