JOHNSON KILLED
BY ACCIDENTAL
firing OF GUN
IN HANDS OF A SMALL BOY
TRAGIC Death of Farmer Near
AmefiCuS

Mr.. F. w. Johnson, a young farmer
residing seven miles north of Ameri-
Gus, met tragic death Sunday even
ing, resulting from the accidental dis
charge of a shotgun in the hands Of
one of several small boys. The entire
load of birdshot penetrated Mr. John
sons face, tearing away his right
cheek, and death resulted soon there
after. The tragedy occurred in the
presence of sevral neighbors and
friends of the deceased, and was very
genel ally deplored.
Several men had armed themselves
and gone in pursuit of an alleged mad
dog Sunday afternoon. Later the par
ty assembled at the home of Mr.. N.
w. Wellons and were discussing the
dog chase, their guns having been de-
posted near the gate. Small boys pres,
ent picked up one of the guns and
discharged it accidentally.
Mr.. Johnson fingered until II O'Clock
Sunday night, when death relieved his
suffering. He was a young man OF
excellent character and generally es-
teemed. His wife and little babe sur,
vive him, as do his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Henry Johnson, and a brother,
Troy Johnson, who reside at Midway
Ala.
The funeral services were conducted
Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock at Shi-
loh church, on the Americus-E -Ellayille
road, of which the deceased was a
member

By a decisive majority in each in
stance the various divisions of the
school and bond issue voted upon at
yesterdays election was carried Not
only was the requisite two-thirds ma
jority secured in each instance, but al
so a safe margin over the requisite ma
jority, ranging from 81 to 81 votes.
From the time when the polls open
ed at o'clock the work of getting the
voters to the polls was vigorously and
diligently cared for by the members If
the committees appointed for this pur-
pose. 1t became manifest early in the
afternoon that the bonds would De
carried by good majority, and, the f.
nal balloting served to roll up an even
larger margin than had been thought
probable by many. Alderman Tom Bell
cast ballot No. /, the total of $40 bal-
lots having been cast altogether.
A feature of the election day was the
parade of the children of the various
public schools at noon. Every class
and grade in the Furlow and High
schools that could do so joined in the
parade, each class carrying banner
with an inscription. Vote for Us,
vote for Bonds, Nothing Like Good
Schools" and similar notices appear
ed on the banners, while that which
foated above the division of students
who wear glasses bore the legend,
Look at Our Eyes"
1t was an inspiring sight to see the
youngsters of Americus in such a pa
rade and to witness the lively interest
shown by them. The sidewalks We're
soon thronged with people who were
eager to see the youth of Americus On
parade The value of the parade il
arousing public interest was evidently
great, and no doubt good part of the
large vote accorded the bonds was due
to their appearance.
