that therefore the bank might easily be in some

fair, to say it is the most shocking
which theyThRye ever been called

We areTaboht torelato is enough to
chill the blood of the most hardened
person on che ,rfaco Of the earth. Mr..
Jno. Pore, who lives in the lower
part Of >Lumpkin county, had two
little children, aged respectively
thre6'and7 six. They were engaged
in'their customary play, few days
ago, while the mother was at the
we'll. The Oldest child, for what
reason'fe Will~,neyer be known, pick
ed up sharp Ratchet and hit the
baby in the side, leaving it sticking
in the wound. Tue child, seeing
what he had done, ran and told his
mother Who was drawing mp bucket
of water at the time. This 40 fright
eped her, that she let 60 the windlass,
and lthe revolving crank struck the
boy on the head and literally knocks
ed bis, brains out, killing him instant
