PRANK OF LIGHTNING.

Lightning at Arab struck the resi-
dence of c. ]. Kimball, in the most
thickly populated section of the city,
tearing the structure almost to pieces.
The bolt entered a bedroom where Mrs.
Kimball was confined to her bed and
in which was her 4-day-old child and
Mrs. Ruth King, nurse. 1t struck the
bed on which Mrs. Kimball and the
child lay, tearing it to pieces and
dropping the occupants to the floor.
Mrs. King was sitting by the bed
side. The bed and the chair on which
she was sitting was sent spinning from
under her. Mrs. Kimball and the
child were not hurt but we're consid-
erably shocked. They were protected
by the feather bed. Mrs. King did not
fare so we'll and is rather painfully
hurt. 1t is believed that piece of
the shattered bedstead struck her. The
bed is equipped with steel springs and
how it's occupants escaped death is
a mystery. There was no rain and
the bolt came almost from clear sky.

THE RIFLE TEAM.

Albany Daily Herald The Georgia
rifle team at Fort Riley has not set
the pace for the marksmen of other
states and of the regular army and
navy. This is not as it was a few
years ago, when there were no rifle
men on earth who could keep the flies
on Georgia's invincible Seagirters. The
oldtime enthusiasm seems to have died
out, and on the occasion of none of
the big meets in recent years have
the Georgia marksmen come up to the
expectations of their admirers at home
and abroad.

The refusal Of the postoffice de-,

Speaking of the matter a few

at "A correspondent OF the Gazette,
writing,of Senator Kings speech
at Guion last weak sin answer ,tc
H. H. Myers, says: l
Senator King was introduced
. amid hurrahs for Davis. Lie
spoke for one hour and a half,
and within a few minutes after
: beginning he had the crowd
worked up to the highest pitch OF
enthusiasm. He met and answer
ed every accusation made by
Myers against the governor and
the Democratic party. He de-
" clared that Mr.. Myers knew but
little about either state or natl
onal politics, and completely de-
molished Myers protective theo-
ry. He had his hearers worked
up to a high pitch when he drew
a picture of the bloody scenes or
the dark days of reconstruction,
and then compared the record and
achievements of the democratic
party of Arkansas since the days
of reconstruction, and stated that
if Myers were elected governor,
as he belonged, body and soul, to
Clayton and his gang, that we
may expect a repetition of the
same misrule and 1ebauchery.
He drew a picture from the scene
at the Republican convention,
with the negro boy and white girl
on the stage together, as repre-
senting the sentiments of the Re-
publican party and the intention
of the Republicans 10 force social
equality. He made the Republi-
cans who stayed to hear him very
sick, and put it so strong that it is
safe to say that all Of the dissatis-
fled element of the Dem ocrats Of
lizard county who heard him will
support the ticket from beginning
to end. Senator King made one Of
the strongest speeches that was
ever made in lizard county, and
wan many friends here. His
speech will do much good for the /
party IN this part of the state.
