BoNAzAx, April 8.-The two-year-1 old child of Tyra Tisdale, colored,:j was burned to death last Thursday. The old story: shut up in the house alone, mother gone, no one near, the house is burnt, and everything in ashes before it is found out. We un derstand that the child was almost entirely consumed. A portion of the intestines only could be found. We understand that the youthful pair who were defeated in marrying* a week ago, made an attempt again last Friday, and another on Sunday. but they are at this writing still en joying single blessedness, and we are informed that it is now given up for goo and all.

Davis thought the assess nent of country property in Manning town .hip was too low, but as compared with ther townships he desired either that this e lowered or the others raised. Maj. H. B. Richardson said most of the ,and in Fulton was swamp or inferior land, here being not more than 13,000 acres of he valuable red land in that township. Mr. Davis moved that the assessment of ulton be raised 20 per cent., and that the sessment of the other townships remain he same as reported to this board. Maj. Richardson protested against any such indiscriminate raising. He thought he assessment should he raised on certain zinds, and to leave other parts as made. Mr. q. B. Barrow moved an. amendment that he assessment be raised 3.1; per cent. The Lmendment was rejected. Mr. J. H. Mc Kight amended that swamp lands be raised n Fulton from 50 cents to $1.00 an acre, 6nd increase the balance 20 per cent. Laid >n table.

Every man, whether he be the strong aict mighty or the weak and lowly, is a dependent being, liable to be cut down at any nioment and called to his reward. Whether he be young and in the vigor of manhood, or hoary with years and beyond the age of maturity, he is but a borrower of time, subject to t.be will of otd, who is the Divine Ruler of the universe and the mez worshipful master of us all. We, as a ma sonic brotherhood, are banded together to perfect ourselves in masonry by lending obedience to his will and carrying out those mandates which he doth decree; to meet each other on the square of justice and to part on the plumb of friends.hip and broth erhood; to do honor to those for whom we can voueb, and to revere the memory of those who have been called beyond the portals of that gate where all things are done on the square, the plumb and the level, and directed by the guiding hand of a true and merciful God. Now, whereas, we have been called upon to place to ashes the remains of one of our brightest and most respected brothers, Bro. William J. Clark, who departed this life at his home among his loved ones on Wednes day. January 29th A. D. 1890, and A. L. 5890; therefore be it resolved, That in the death of Bro. Clark this Lodge has lost one of its best members, one of its brightest masons, and one who was ever willing and ready to advance the order or extend a token of brotherly friendship. That we do greatly sympathize with his widow, and all those who, by his death, have been left in grief. That a page in our minute book be in scribed to his memory, that a copy of these resolutions be communicated to his widow and children, and that they be given to the press for publication. J. H.

Peso!red, that a page in the minutes book of this lodge he insribed to the memory of our deceased brother, and that our charter be draped in monrning for the usual length of time.

Thme Terrible D~eath of an Old Lady. ] Mrs. Tempe Lochimy, a widow lady about 65 years old, w'ho lived just out of town, met with a most distressing accident on Mon day, which resulted in her dem'th on Tuc:;-' day. She was found about 12 o'clock Mon day morning in the fireplace of her dining room, feeble an d helpless. Her clothes were. almost entirely consumed by fire, and her face. body and hands were horribly burned. Her head was completely charred by the flames. The old lady ,vas subject to epilep sy, and it is supposed that, while preparing for dinner, she wats seized with a fit and fell1 into the tire. Di'. W. J. Garner was called in and didi everything in his powier to re lieve her, but of no avail, for' she lived only a day. She was conscious all the time, un til death p-ut an end toi her intense suffer ing.--Darlingb'n Xeir. Disease lies in ambush for the weak; a feeble const~tution is ill adapted to encoun ter a malarious atmosphere and sudden changes of temperature, and the least robust are usually the easiest victims. Dr. J1. H. McLean's~Sarsaparilla will give tone vita ity and strength to the entire body. Distress after eating. hearthurn, s'ck headache, and indigestion are cured by Dr. J. H. McLean's liver and kidney pillets (lit. tie pills). If you feel unable to do your work and have'that tired feeling, take Dr. J. H. Mc-. Lean's Sarsap~arilla: it will make you bright, active and vigorous. The most popular liniment, is the old re liable, Dr. J. H. McLean's volcanic Oil Lin iment. M any' people habiitually endure a feecling of lassitude, because they think they have to. If they would take Dr. JT. H. McLean's Sarsaparilla this fer-ling of weariness would give place to vigor and vitality. No liniment is in better repute or more widely known than Dr. J. If. McLean's Vol canie Oil Liniment. It is a wonderful rem eson advanced in years feel younger and stronger, as well as freer from the in.: firmities of age, by taking Dr'. J . H Lean's Sarsaparilla. A Great Persuader. Rleeently a father in Williamsburg used a .hotgnn on a young mani to compel him to marry his daiughter whom he had won and ilien jilted. And a fat herm ia C2olleton uisedi a shotgun on a young man to prevent his mari'ying his daughter, whom he he had I onrt d and won. As the Johns5on .Monior say~s the shiotgu n is a great persuader.
