GRIM REAPER CLAIMS
Mr.. CLARENCE PERRY

There were many hearts saddened
In Lakeland this morning when the
news came over the wires from Tam
ia that Mr.. Clarence Perry was dead,
having passed away shortly after 3
. clock, surrounded by his wife,
mother and other loved ones.
II Is with deep sorrow that the
ritter pens these lines. We had en-
joyed the pleasure OF Mr.. Pcrry's ac-
GCaintance for several years, and
during that time had learned to ap-
preciatc him at his full worth. lie
was a young man of high honor and
principles, was gentlemanly in his
bearing, and possessed many sterling
qualities and traits. No more be-
loved young man ever left Lakeland.
and with his hundreds of friends
here, we extend deepest sympathy to
his bercaved wife and other members
vi Hlo ldully.
Before going to Tampa, where he
held a position as salesman in the
Drawdy Grocery Co., Mr.. Perry was
head clerk at the fremont hotel.
Prior to that time he had been a val
ued attache of the Pillans grocery
store and there made many friends
for himself and the institution with
which he was connected. Three
years ago he led to the altar Miss
Lee Orion Ormsby, and their happy
married life had often been remark
ed by their friends, each being par
ticularly happy in the Others love
ard cOmpanionship. The heartbrok-
en- wife has the deepest sympathy of
host Of friends in her sad hour of
bereavement.

Mr.. Vickers was denied the pleasure
OF leading his loved one to the altar.
He bore his disappointment like a
man, however. and doubtless now
feels amply repaid for former failure
by present success. Indeed. at the
time Mr.. Vickers had a card inserted
in the Lakeland News to the effect
that he was very we'll satisfied at the
way things turned out. We are sure
his satisfaction is now doubled and
trebled.
The Telegram wishes the couple all
JOY and prosperity, and trusts that
not even our excellent fire depart
nent can ever quench the fires of
true love so auspiciously lighted.

SCHOONER BURNED AT SEA;
CAPTAIN AND. CREW SAVED

Savannah, Feb. 5.-The steamship
Suwannee, of the Merchants and
Miners Transportation company, ar
rived in port this morning having on
board Capt. w E. Donovan and SIX
of the crew of the schooned Frank
M. Low, which was burned at sea Sat
urday morning, after midnigt. Capt.
Donovan, who was part owner OF
the vessel, gave very graphic story
Of the catastrophe.
The vessel, he thinks, caught fire
when the cook stepped on a match
shortly before midnight Saturday
night when all hands were called out
to shorten sails on account Of a
blowing gale. In few momens the
entire cabin was on fire. The men left
the ship IN a yawl, very thinly clad
and suffered a great deal from cold
and hunger before being rescued
AS Capt. Donovan made an effort to
ret from the schooner to the yawl,
he lnderestimated the distance, and
fell into the Sea" Re was rescued
with difficulty.

ENTIRE FAMILY
WAS MURDERED
HOME SET ON FIRE TO CONCEAL
CRiME-JURY FAILS TO I'M
PLIcATE ANYONE.

Oklohoma City, Okla, Feb. 5.-Har-
Eey Hurst, his wife, and Miss Elsie
Adams, 16, who lived with them at
their home in Delaware, Oklahoma,
a small town nearNoowata, were muir
dered last night and the house set
On IRE. All three bodies were fright
fully burned. Wounds on the heads
indicated that they had been killed
before the house was set on fire. The
authorities are investigating.
An inquest was held today on the
bodies of Hurst and his wife and
the girl and it revealed the fact that
both Mrs. Hurst and the girl were ex-
pecting the stork. This fact may ulti-
mately lead to the arrest of young
man who is known to have kept
company with Miss Adams, although
the coroner's jury failed to fix the
guilt on any person.
The investigation has revealed that
the only wound on the three bodies
Were in the top of the head, appar-
emily made with Ratchet or pick
1t is also stated that a man was seen
running from the house at II o'clock
at hight, some hours before the fire
was discovered.

SECOND SCHOOL TERM sEG1Ns
Nu nber of New Pupils Enrolled at
the Public Schools.

Quite number Of changes took
place in the public schools yesterday,
when the second half of the term
commenced, many children going to
higher grades and others being ad-
mitted to the school.
The second half Of the term shows
quite a large increase in attendance
which is good evidence that Brunswick
has been growing during the past
few months. There is rule in ef-
feet at the schools providing that il
a pupil does not enter when the
schools open in September, he must
wait until the second term, which be-
gins the first Monday in February,
consequently children who have re-
moved to the city since the opening in
September, had to wait until yesterdy
in order to enter, and there we're
quite a number of them.
A number of pupils were also pro-
NOTED from the Grammar to the High
school and took up their duties in
the higher branch yesterday.

CONVICT GANG
WORKS ON DRAIN
COUNTY PRISONERS BROUGHT TO
THE CITY TO LAY DRAIN
ON MONK STREET.

The entire county convict gang un-
der superintendent Higginbotham, is
now at work in the city and will be
here for few weeks.
At present the gang is engaged in
laying a new drain on Monk street,
from Newcastle to the bay. This drain
which has been very expensive to the
city, and which was placed only a
few years ago, was found to be in
bad cond ton and general repairs
We're necessary. The city made re-
quest of the county authorities for
the use of the convicts to do the ex-
cavating work, and, as the prisoners
have not been at work in the city
very much lately, the request was
granted.
The convicts can do this class of
work much quicker than paid labor
and rapid progress has been made
on the new drain, and at the same
time the city is saved large amount
of money which would have to be
paid to labor in the event the convicts
could not be secured.
New pipe will be placed in the
drain all the way from Newcastle
street to the river and it is hoped
that this time the work will be of
such class that it will not have to
be done over again in such a short
time.

RUMORED THAT THERE WILL Be
OPPOSITION FOR SOME OF
THE OFFICES.
Registration Books Will Close Withiu
Few More Weeks and Thus Far
Very Small Number of Voters in
the County Have Registered.

While none of them are yet ready
TO announce, various prospective can
didates are said to be in the held
for various county positions and 10
cal people may soon see the begin.
ming of what promises to be real.
live campaign
1t is almost certain that all of the
present office holders will stand for
reelection. in fact it is known that
tAey are all well pleased with their
present positions, and are willing to
serve the people for the next two
years, but, from all reports, there
are Others who believe they can BET
ter serve the county, and consequent
ly will see if they can defeat some
OF he present officials, and the yo-
ters will be called upon to decide
the question.
Much TO the delight of the people
of he county generally all candi-
dates have been slow to announce,
and as yet, not an announcement has
been published, while in many other
Georgia counties the campaign has
been on for weeks. Glynn, however,
cannot expect this quiet political sit
uation very much longer, and it is ex-
pected that the announcements will
begin to roll in within a few weeks.
And in this connection, it wudfd
be we'll for the voters who have not
already done SO 20 qualify for .-a
primary. The law now provides that
the books must close six months
before the election, and.~ the pri-
mary is generally held along in Au-
gust, only a short time remains in
which to register. Of course all of
those who have already paid their
1911 taxes and registered, will not
have to do SC again, but there are
many voters who have not as yet done
this, and, in order to participate in
the summer primary, they will have
to do it within the next few weeks.

NOTHING HEARD OF THREE PER-
SONS SWEPT BY NIAGARA
ICE BRIDGE.
Of the Man and Woman
Young Hancock Arrives But Has
No Hope for His Sot,

Niagara Falls. n. Y, Feb. 5.-Al-
the Whirlpool Rapids early today. it
was not expected that the ice churned
waters would soon, if ever. release
the bodies of the man, woman and boy
who were swept down the gorge with
foes from yesterdays sudden disin-
tegration of the Niagara ice bridge.
Today's appearance of the whirl-
pool was ugly. The grinding of the
ice jam racing within it echoed
through the gorge. Great cakes of ice
whirled on down stream under the
bridges where still dangled ends of
the ropes which had proved useless
in the endeavor to rescue the trio as
they were being swept down stream.
Nothing developed today to make
more certain the identity of the man
and woman supposed to be Mr.. and
Mrs. Eldridge, Of Toronto, excepting
those persons had not returned to
the hotel.
1t is known that they started for
the ice bridge about an hour before
the sudden release of tons of ice be-
fore the falls swept it away.
The father of Burrell Heacock, OF
Cleveland, the third victim, arrived
today. After a look at the ice-piled
gorge he said he had no hope of ever
seeing the body of his son, who, after
being drawn by rope part way up
to the cantilever bridge, slipped back
exhausted into the river.
