Death of An Excellent Citizen

Our people we're filled with deep re-
greet Monday morning upon receiving
intelligence of the death Of Hon. John
C. Burdine of Smithville, late Sunday
night. Having been almost an invalid
several months he was enroute from
his home for consultation with a
Memphis specialist when he fell dead
in his room at Amory hotel. A few
friends with whom he was conversing
were aware of his feeble condition but
were in no wise prepared for his sud-
den passing away.
For many years Mr.. Burdine has
been n of the foremost citizens of
his immediate community and a prom
inent figure in affairs of the county
and State. Broad-minded and liberal
in his views, he was ever in accord
with the spirit of advancement and de-
velopement that hehas prevailed among
our people since his appearance on the
stage. He was an active participant
in the political revolution of 1875 which
redeemed our county and State from
mongrel, rule and contrary to his ear
nest protest was placed on the Dem
~ocratic ticket for County Assessor and
with the balance of the ticket was
triumphantly elected. Afterwards the
party conferred upon him the honor Of
a seat in the lower branch of the Leg
islature, and still further advanced him
to the State Senate, in both of which
positions he served a numbe. OF terms
with credit to himself and honor to the
country and State.
A progressive citizen, a true friend
faithful and conscientious public SER
want, MIR. Burdine's death will be GER
orally and sincerely deplored-Aber-
deem Weekly.

Poor Prospect for continuance of

Poor Prospect for Continuance OF
League.
Americus fans "view with alarm
the prospect of the early collapse of
the Cracker League and the end of
balloon for the season. To fac, it ia a
matter of some doubt as TO whether
the games can be kept going much
longer, and this week or next may wit.
ness the collapse of the tottering tower
of bats. Yesterday the news came that
Valdosts, supposedly ons of the
staunchest teams in the league, had
tossed up the sponge, the local man
agemenf, which bought the franchise
from some SavannahiaD, having drop
ped all they cared to lose. Pitcher
Barber alone remains of the team, the
other play ers having hustled for green
er fields. Some of the other towns,
including Americus, appear to be about
all IN and the finish may come shortly.
Another season let the south Georgia
towns o-ganz3 league, independent
of Savannah franchise holders, and get
in position to play ball to the close of
the season.
