KILLED by A SCHOOL TEACHER.

Gainesville Eagle: Mr. William r.
Boone of Platte City, Mo, the eldest
son of Mrs. Elmina Boone of this city,
and a nephew of Mr.. j. r. Boone, met
with a tragic death near Linkville,
Mo-, last week, being shot to death by
Z. A. McMonigle, a school teacher.
From a report of the Platte County
Argus, the shooting grew out of the
teacher having punished Mr.. Boone;s
child. Daniel, for clipping the ends
of a girls hair with a knife. Mr..
Boone had said something to the teach
sr about the matter, and a few days
later they met on horseback near
Iinkville and Mr.. McMonigle began fir
ing, emptyinS his pistol into the body
of Mr.. Boone, who was unarmed and
fell dead from his horse. The affair has
created a tremendous sensation in the
community where the tragedy occurred.
On hearing of it. friends went to the
scene and took Mr.. Boones body to his
home. 1t was buried the next day by
the Masonic order in the presence of
an immense throng of people. McMon-
igle is in Jail awaiting trial. Mr.. Boone
left Gainesville for the West about ~
years ago. and has many relatives and
hosts of friends here who will deeply
regret to learn of his assassination.

COL. EsTILL on PROHIBITION.

Thomasville Times: Col. EstiH occu-
pies a similar position to thousands of
Georgians. Local option comes nearer
solving the Vexed problem than any
other law ever has. II is good Demo-
cratic doctrine, too, as il leaves each
county TO settle the question accord
ing to the wishes of it's own citizens
This is local self-government, and is
a right which should never be denied
any people. If the people want county
dry, let them vote it dry; if they want
dispensary, let them vote for one:
and if they think barrooms are no
more harmful than dispensaries let
them vote that way. Under Georgia's
local option law more than one hum
dred counties have voted whisky out
That's their right and privilege. Col.
Estilfs position is right, and we be-
Heve the people of Georgia will in

st. Augustine Record: Clad in
an old rose gown. tremulous
with excitement and the memory
of other days long past, Mrs. Frances
Lindley stood beside Charles H. Tobey,
her lover of long ago, and listened to
the words of the beautiful Episcopal
service, which made them man and
wife. The couple, although seventy
two years of age, were apparently as
happy when the pronouncement was
made by Rev. c. NJ. Sturges, which de-
clared them one, as If it had happened
when first they knew each other and
dreamed of the long delayed consum-
nation. The service took place at the
residence of Mayor E. E. Boyce and
was witnessed only by a few chosen
friends. Mr. Tobey, the groom has just
arrived from his home in Wisconsin.
He is a prosperous lumber dealer and
it is stated that in his youth he paid
court to the lady of his choice in her
old Connecticut home. Their lives were
widely separated, however, and both
married others. But now after many
years they have been reunited in ties
which only death can dissolve.
