An amusing incident occurred at
the intersection of Ant and Sandy
street Friday afternoon, when a dry
goods and novelty fakir opened up
his goods and commenced selling
them to a crowd that had been gath-
ered by the music and dancing of a
family of soap fakirs. The soap fa-
kir was indignant and endeavored
to draw the voice of the other fakir,
which he did successfully for a few
minutes and then pulled up and left
for the next corner, carrying moat of
the crowd with him, for music has
charms, and will draw a crowd.
sad smciijk !
If there be a hereafter, and there
is, concience uninfluenced and suffer-
ed to speak out, tells every man that
while it is an awful thing to die, it
is yet more horrid to die by ones
own hand, for duty requires that we
calmly wait the summons, nor dare
to stir [until heaven shall give per-
mission. Life is like a sentry,"that
must keep ita destined stand and
await its appointed hour to be re-
lieved, and it is not bravo to run
away. It is mad and desperate
frenzy venture on a world unknown?
pluDgiug headlong in the dark, but
men, and women too, continue tojtake
the fatal pluuge, and the community
of Gay Hill is wrapped in the sable
garments of gief over such a step
taken by Mr. Ed. D. Mills at his
store at an early hour Friday morn-
ing, where he went from his house
about 4 o'clock, making a pallet of a
blanket between the counters, he
layed himself out, placed a pistol to
his temple and sent a bullet crashing
through his brain, and his
soul into eternity, the one
false step bereaving a kind and lov-
ing wife of a husband, who ne'er be
fore had forgotten his duty, and or-
phaning three children.
The news of his death was re-
ceived here in a telegram to his
wife's uncle, Mr. S. A. Morris, who
went up at onco to render what as-
sistance he cou'd and console his
grief stricken niece. Mr. Mills was
a merchant of Gay Hill, and it is
said that worry over his financial
embarrassment led to the rash act
that freed him from the worry of
creditors. He was about 32 years
of age, a man who stood well among
the people with whom he lived, and
has many friends throughout the
county who will regret to learn of
hie tragic death.
On Thursday morning he was
talking to Mr. Calvin Miller, and
seemed to be in such a state of de-
spoudency over his financial trouble
and his inability to make the neces-
sary collections to meet his indebt-
edness that after his departure this
gentleman remarked that if he didn't
quit worrying over his troubles that
he would go crazy, and who knows
but that reason did totter from her
throne before he committed the rash
act, for it is a debatable question
whether a perfectly sane man will
take his own life, while yet he has
one glimpse of reason or of Heaven.
His remains will be brought here
for interment to-day (Saturday.)
DKEI) FOR LICENSE.
There was probably a disappoint-
ed prospective-bride and groom
some where in this county Friday
afternoon. Some of the numerous
visitors to the office of Messrs.
Campbell & Pennington laid a mar-
riage license on their desk, and
when they went to leave picked up
an important deed that had been
made out and signed by all the con-
veyors but one, for whose signature
it was being held, and Friday
night when he came in to
sign the deed the mistake
was discovered. The gentleman
who wanted to sign the deed and
Messrs. Campbell & Pennington
were considerably bothered, but
immagine the happy couple before a
minister, at too late an hour to send
to town last night, and him opening,
up that deed and reading "know all
men by these presents" etc. and the
revelation when tho names of the
conveyors and purchasers names are
read out. But wasn't there a disap
pointment.
SCIENCE IN HKEAD MAKING.
At the recent annual meeting of the Ameri-
can Chemical Society, held in Washington,
D. C., the question of the value of carbonic
of ammonia as a leavening agent in bread, or
as used in baking powders, came up for dis-
cussion, in which Prof. Barker, of the uni-
versity of Pennsylvania, and President of the
Society; Dr. Richardson, late of the United
States Department of Agriculture in Wash-
ington; Dr. Wm. McMurtie, late Prcf. of
Chemistry in the University of Illinois; Dr. E.
H. Bartlett, late Chemist of the Brooklyn, N.
Y., ot Board of Health, and Prof, of Chemis-
try of the Long Island College, and others
took part.
The consensus of opinion was overwhelming
in favor of the employment of ammonia. U
was stated as .•> fact that ammonia rendered
the gluten of the flour more soluble than the
original gluten, and that the bread in which
this action was produced by carbonate of am-
monia must be more digestible and hence
more healthtul, and because of the extreme
volatility of carbonate of ammonia and its
complete expul^jpn from the bread in the oro-
cess of baking, it is one of the most valuable
leavening agents known.
These conclusions, are borne out by the
very elaborate and exhaustive experiments
made by Prof. J. W. Mallet, of the University
of Virginia, which show conclusively that
bread made with a baking powder in which
one percent of carbonate of ammonia is used,
in connection with cream of tarter and soda,
is not only of uniformly better color and tex-
ture, hut a product more wholesome, because
the ammonia serves to neutralize any organic
or hctic acid* present in the flour.

Mr. Herman Cohen has returned
from Bellville, where he has beon at-
tending the suit of Cohen Bros. vs.
M. A. Tynborg & Co. and Ed. New-
bouer, which has been through the
courts until it is becoming famous.
It is a suit for damages and at the
last term of the court the jury gave
Cohen Bros, a judgement for $12,000
but the supreme court reversed the
case on the ground that the judg-
ment was excessive.
This time they asked for less in
the hope of making it stick, and so-
cured a judgment against Ed New-
bouor for exemplary damages for
§1,500 and against M. A. Tynberg
& Co. and Newbouer for $75 actual
damages.

The readers of this paper will
be pleased to learn that there is at
least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in
all its stages and that is Catarrh,
Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure known to tho medi-
cal fraternity. Catarrh bein^ a
constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Hall's
Catarrh Curo is taken internally,
acting directly upon tho blood and
mucous surfaces ot tho system,
thereby destroying the foundation
of tho disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting na-
turo in doing its work. Tho pro-
prietors have so much faith in its
curative powers that they offer
One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list
of testimonials. Address:
