A LITTLE Idaho three-year-old fell
into a well recently, where the water
was only six inches deep, and remain
ed there some time before he was dis
covered. When he was finally res
cued, his pent-ap wrath knew no
bounds. There was crying about it,
and such volley of invectives upon
the heads of neglectful parents never
before fell from childish lips. Here is
a sample "You fink I kin tay in a

A DESPERATE.

Chas. Harden Escapes the Chain Gang
t4THE negro, Charles Harden,
whA,. about three weeks ago, stab
bed an another negro by the name
of Harris, and was arrested by a
squad of freedmen and brought to
Marietta and turned over to the
Sheriff, was placed in the chain gang
to serve out a previous sentence for
a misdemeanor. On last Sunday
night, he managed to slip his shack
less, climbed out the stockade chin
nsy at Wither's foundry and escap-
ed. He went back to the neighbor-
hood of his cutting affray, for the
evident purpose of ''getting even"
with those negroes who had arrested
him. On Monday night last he
drove off the negroes on Col. A. 3
Atkinson's farm, and applied torch
to a cabin, burning it to the ground,
then decamped. He is bold, bad
desperate, and would not hesitate tc
commit any crime opportunity might
afford. He is terror to the people
10 that settlement and his speedy
capture is earnestly desired.

Sale of Kennesaw Mills for $24o1o.
The bankrupt sale Of Cook "
Cheeks Kennesaw Mills, including
appurtenances, office, ETC., took place
last Tuesday at - NJ, in front Of
the property in this place. A large
crowd was present, some as Interest,"
ed creditors, others as contemplative
buyers and many through natural
iosily. Col. George Adair, OF
Atlanta, was the auctioneer, under
the direction OF r. II. Richards and
Ben. K Crane, trustees. Alter
reading the advertisement descrip'
tive of property and stating terms,
bids were called for. One gentle
man in the distance cried out So, 900.
This occasioned a witticism from
Col Adair, who thought $4,000
were entitled to more consideration.
One of the trustees threw in the re-
mark that the property cost S52,-
600. Mr.. w. II. Tucker next bid
$4,000. That "good looking gem
tlemau," stranger, inserted the
next offer Of $4,000. And then
bids run along at SIS, 200, $4,000,
900 and S23, 900, when Mr..
Tucker bid so, 600. Mr.. John r
Winters added ten dollars to the last
bid, and after considerable counting
and coaxing, the property was
knocked off to Messrs Winters &
Whitlock, of Marietta, for the sum
of $24,0l0. The terms being one
fourth cash; one fourth in six
months; one fourth in twelve
months, and one fourth in eighteen
months, with interest on deferred
payments at the rate of : per cent.
per annum. Bonds for titles and
property to be kept insured until all
payments are made. Some small
sales of coal, iron, safe, office furni-
ture, ETC., were made, most of which
were purchased by Winters & Whit
lock. The mill property could not
have fallen into better hands, and
we are glad that these, clever, en-
terprising and stirring business men
should be so fortunate as to possess
themselves of such a valuable piece
Of property.
