In connection with the death of Grover
Cleveland, it is interesting to note that only
twice before in the history of the nation
has the United States been without
living ex-p president George Washington died
in 1885, when John Adams, the second presi-
dent was in Office Andrew Johnson, at the
time the only surviving ex-chief executive,
passed away in 1876, two years before General
Grant retired to private life-Albany Herald
Speaking Of near beer and other things near,
here is nearly near as we can guess an unanswer
able argument against the use of alcohol:
Douglas, Ga, June 29.-Dennis Paulk Jr.,
who is highly connected in Coffee and Berrien
countless is in Jail here while his wife lies fatally
wounded by her husband
Paulk came home Saturday night under the
influence of drink md aimed his gun at negro ser
want. His wife said: "Dennis, don't do that"
when he turned the gun on her her saying, 81 will
kill you, then" and fired the whole load of shot
into her left breast.
In memory of Grover Cleveland, former presi-
dent of the United States, whose death occurr-
ed on the day the assembly opened new Geor-
gia county will be named if bill by Mr.. Cliff
ton of Toombs becomes a law. 1t provides
for new county, to be called Cleveland and
created from parts of Montgomery, Emanuel,
Laurens and Johnson counties, with Soperton
as county seat
Mr. Clifton introduced the bill at the
quest of citizens of the territory affected lie
says the name of Cleveland was decided upon
in honor of the former president, and some
time before his death.-Atlanta Georgian.
The man who gets mad and stops his paper
shouldn't slip around and borrow his friends

Chenille Observer.
A man who would do a thing like that is too
small to notice, yet when the time comes for
him to wind up his earthly career he expects
the paper to say something nice about his de,
parture and predict safe landing in up,

his kind and where he is sure not to CO.
