PARROT PARAGRAPHS.
Occurrences of the Week in and
Around the North Terrell Town.


The recent cold weather has caused
a great deal of pneumonia and grippe.
We are glad to note that those who
have been on the sick list are much
improved.
We suggest that our city council and
citizens generally plant trees on
each side of our streets. We think it
would add greatly to the beauty as
we'll as to the comfort of our town.
Mr. w. r. Pinkston has set the ex-
ample by planting trees on the street
in front of his lot. He is also putting
fresh coat of paint on his house.
There has been no guano shipped to
our town yet, and our farmers are de-
termined to cut acreage in cotton.
The surplus will be planted in food
stuffs, and our people will be more in
dependent than ever next fall.
Prof. Crowell has heard that he has
won eight prizes on the chickens ne
sent to the Montgomery exhibit. He
has some splendid fowls for sale
cheap.
The new pastors of both churches
have preached their first sermons, and
our people are delighted with them.
Miss Elvie Jennings visited her
parents in Dawson Saturday and Sun
day.
Our school is progressing finely
under our most estimable corps OF
teachers.
Mr.. w. H. Fletcher, who has been
sick with blood poison, is now out OF
danger.
Miss Hattie Wimberly visited her
mother in Oglethorpe Saturday.
Miss Clark of Atlanta has been Wis
iting Mrs. Mrs. r. F Cook.

Clermont, Oct. 13.-To the Episcopal
church society of Clermont, is be-
queathed a large portion of the prop
erty of the late Mrs. DR.. Lewis, whose
estimated value ranges from $4,000 to
$4,000. Mrs. Lewis was one Of the
pioneers of Clermont, and her will
which relatives are now trying to have
set aside, includes in it's gift to thu
church society, the very fine home
stead adjoining the monumental park,
provided by Ex-Governor Larrabee.
The relatives also seek to restrain
the custodians of the estate from coll
lecting the moneys and rents from the
estate in litigation. The legal bene-
ficiaries of the estate claim that undue
influence was exerted over the mind
of the deceased, while her mental con-
dition was unsound from the effects Of
long years Of enfeebled health, and
that she was incapable of disposing OF
her possessions in a just and sane
manner.
About two years ago Mrs. Lewis,
being In feeble condition of mind and

rector Of the society at Clermont, Rev.
Caldwell, to remove, with his family,

problem of providing better and more
economical government for the grow

time was the startling admission of
the railroad men who testified yester-
day in the investigation.
The cause of the wreck as brought
out in the testimony was the fact that
the watches of both the engineer and
the conductor were slow, that of the
former four minutes and that of the
latter seven minutes. The running
time between the stations of Upton
and Iowa City was fifteen minutes and
according to the watch of the conduc-
tor the train had twenty-one minutes
to make the latter point. The fatal
loss of time by the watch was unno-
ticed and the wreck was the result.
