What llroke t’p the Recitation.
The following story is going the
rounds: A prominent professor of the
Arkansas Industrial university while
hearing a class was interrupted by the
janitor. After returning to class work
the professor remarked, “lly the way,
young men, that janitor is related by
blood ties to the distinguished govern
or, Tillman, of South Carolina.” The
next day some incident brought up
another name and the professor
remarked that the professor of
the same name in the college
was related to the distinguished
author, Leverett. The next day it
was shown that another professor was
of near kin to a distinguished novelist.
On the next day the professor, desiring
to caution them against hero worship,
began by saying: "I follow no man
save Jesus Christ.” Quick as lightning
young Askew said: “Professor, will
you be kind enough to tell us to what
member of the faculty this distinguish
ed individual is a kin?” That broke
up the recitation.
If They Hud Only Known How.
Our farmers move slow, but they
move. They have been selling straw
berries, early potatoes and other vege
tables at a profit this year. But they
might have been doing the same thing
for years past. Crawford county farm
ers have shipped this spring hundreds
of carloads of strawberries, and Craw
ford and Sebastian farmers have ex
ported hundreds of carloads of early
potatoes and string beans. Their
lands were just as rich, perhaps richer,
ten years ago, and they could have
been making money all these years if
they had only known how.—Little
Bock Democrat.

SOUTHERN GLEANINGS
A Georgia Komanee.
The following love romance comes
from Atlanta, (la.: The marriage of
Stonmore Brooks Townes, a prominent
young lawyer, and Miss Fannie Rosa
Atkinson, is the culmination of a
romance. Miss Atkinson was deeded
to Mr. Townes when she was 1 year
old, and he was 2. Their parents were
close friends, and the mother of the
little girl so loved the little boy that
she made a formal gift in
writing of her cliil(\ to him.
The families separated shortly
after this. It was not until Townes
was 20 that he saw the charming Miss
Atkinson. Knowing nothing of the
peculiar gift of eighteen years before,
he fell in love with the young woman.
He was then a student at Columbia
college. After graduation he came to
Atlanta. She in the meantime had
come here to teach school. When he
heard of the deed of gift he declared
that he was going to hold her to it,
and the mother who had written it was
present at the wedding which came as
a fulfillment of her peculiar prediction.
l’ro«perlty of the South.
Says a Washington (D. C.) special:
Mr. Wr. R. Amos, of Philadelphia, who
recently returned from a tour of the
principal southern cities, said:
“The south is in good financial con
dition, and the state of trade in the
cities is very satisfactory. I was agree
ably surprised with the situation, par
ticularly in New Orleans and the lead
ing trade centers of Texas. In that
state the outlook is for one of the big
gest crops on record. The cereals
yielded abundantly; the corn crop is
going to be immense and the cotton
ditto. That will put a goodly share of
money in the pocket of the agricultur
ist.”
Canned by Heat and Cold.
John Carpenter, an employe of the
Armour Packing Co., at Atlanta, Ga.,
has become insane as a result of being
submitted to the extremes of tempera
ture between that out of doors and that
in the cold storage room. Carpenter
complained of pains in his head, and
was allowed to go home. By the time
he got there he was so violent that his
wife was compeled to flee in terror,
and it took half a dozen police oflieers
to tie him to a bed, awaiting the ar
rival of a police patrol.
Heath In a Storm.
Near Smith's Mills, Ala., William
Methvine and wife were returning in
a buggy from a visit to a friend, when
a storm overtook them. They under
took to drive out (ft it. when lightning
struck and shattered a dead tree. It
fell upon the buggy, crushing Meth
vine to death. This frightened the
horse, and he ran away, demolishing
the buggy. Mrs. Methvine was so bad
ly hurt that she died.
Convict Kills a Guard.
At McRae’s lumber camp, near Val
dosta, Ga., where convicts are em
ployed, Henry Williams, a guard, was
in the act of tying a chain with which
the convicts were chained together,
when Sam Johnson cut his head open
with an ax. Another guard was at
tacked by Abe Williams at the same
time. The convicts literally cut their
way to liberty. One guard is dead and
the other will die.
Site for ail Industrial Sghool.
The trustees of the recently-created
Georgia industrial school for white
girls met at Montgomery and selected
Montevallo as the location. That lit
tle city offered college property worth
over $40,000 and many natural advan
tages for the school. Miss Tutwiler,
of Livingston, was elected principal.
Beaten hy Masked Men.
Five persons in disguise entered the
house of Sain Chandler, colored, who
lives near Monroe, Ga., and, after put
ting a sack over his head, administered
150 lashes, beat him with a wagon
standard, tied hitn and left. Chandler
will probably die.
Mistook Morphine for Quinine.
At l'aducah, Ky., Mrs. Mary Roland,
aged 40, took a large dose of powder,
which she supposed was quinine. It
proved to be morphine, and when the
doctor reached her she was beyond
medical aid.
