TRAGEDY AT TENNILLE.
Sensational Affair Occurs In Georgia
ToBn.

DR.. T. NJ. Kelley, one of the most
prominent physicians of Tennille, Ca,
was shot and instantly killed by Pro.
fessor N. H. Johnson, principal of the
Tennille Institute, in front Of DR..
Kelley's office.
There were no eye-witnesses, and
the entire affair seems surrounded by
more or less mystery.
It is known that DR.. Kelly and Pro
fessor Johnson had had a quarrel at
the institute building about the dis
ciplining of Kelly's son, and it is sup
posed this led to the tragedy.
Both men are particularly promt
nent, and the affair created a great
deal of excitement.

The Story Humorous and Witty.
The humorous story is strictly
work of art-high and delicate art
and only an artist can tell 1t, averred
Mark Twain. But no art is necessary
in telling the comic and the witty
story; anybody can do it. The art of
telling humorous story-understand,
mean by word Of mouth, not print
was created in America and has re-
manned at home.

Ida.
HE is MoN-COMMITTAL.
However, II Is Said, He 10 Considering
the Matter, and May, at the Proper
Time, Announce Himself a Can.
dldate.

It Is stated at Tallahassee that Hon.
Park Trammell, the present attorney
general Of Florida, and who, prior to
his incumbency Of the office he now
fills, was for several sessions strong
and prominent member of the Florida
legislature, will doubtless, at the prop
er time, announce as candidate for
the governorship, to succeed Gov. AL
bert W. Gilchrist.
Mr.. Trammell is non-committal as to
definite announcement, saying there is
plenty of time; however, he says he is
considering the matter, and expresses
himself as being very much gratified
and grateful for the voluntary assur-
ance of support which has come to
him from people in every walk of life
and from every section of Florida.
Mr.. Trammell says that in his public
career Of ten years the people have
been kind enough to advance him step
by step from the minor, yet important,
Office of mayor of his home town to
the office Of attorney general, which,
in importance and responsibility,
ranks among those next to the gov
ernorship, and that 1t is now possible
that he shall, at the hands of the peo-
pie, seek the privilege Of being gov
ernor of the state.
