YEARS OF oUCLAwRY.

blood and thunder stories is Dr. Dacus' authen
tic Lives and adventures Of Frank and Jes-
Sc James" With The death Of Jesse aud the
surrender OF Frank James, the record Of the
remarkable band Of outlaws whom they led
passes into history, where it will always form
one OF the most thrilling pages in American
annals. As one OF the editors Of the st Louis
Republican and a member of the Missouri Leg

ting at the inside facts of their extraordinary
careers, and even spent many weeks among
the friends and family of the outlaws in WEES

concerning their autecedents and ancestry, and
also "A vast amount Of information, at first hand
concerning their numbefless train and bank
robberies their dashiug raids and vengeful
murders during the twenty years Of their ca
reer in az many States aud territories. Bold
dashing and seemingly reckless, their marvel,

shadows in the background, reminding him

A woMAN's TRICK
To Rescue Her Husband from Jail

To Rescue Her Husband from Jail
Special to the Constitution.
GAINESVILLE, October 3d. At
the August term of the Hall superb
or court, Bri, Osborne, we'll known
character of this community, was
convicted of robbery and sentenced
to five years 10 tho peniteutiary
He has been lyiog in jail since his
sentence pending an appeal on a
motion for a new trial. His wife
has frequently gone to visit him and
to carry him some special article of
food.
She came last Saturday evening
about dark and asked sheriff Gaines
if she might be permitted to stay all
night 10 the cell with her husband.
After some hesitation her request
was granted, but she was told that
such frequent visits would not be
permitted hereafter. All was quie!
in the jail during the night, and af
ter sun up Sunday morning the
sheriff lot the woman out. He did
not notice her face nor look at her
particularly close, as it is his habit
when opening the gate to let any
one out to keep his eyes on the
crowd of prisoners inside to prevent
a rush from them. The woman
slipped quickly out and 30 more
was though, of the affair, until o.
bornc's little girl came to the Jail
with lot of woman's clothing, and
said her father had sent them to her
mother. She was told her mother
had gone, but when the child insists
ed that she had not the sheliff's sus
picions we're aroused and he went to
Osborne's cell. There hc was sur,
prised to find Mrs. Osborne
crouched up in her night clothes
and her husband nowhere to be
seen. The woman had dressed him
up 10 her clothes and thus secured
his escape. He had gone by his
house and left the woman's apparel
to be returned to his faithful spouse.
Two circumstances made the decep-
ton very easy. Osborne's wife is
woman of large frame, and fully as
tall as he. Then she always wears
very large sun bonnet, and when
meeting person, keeps her eyes
invariably averted. When the sher>
if discovered her trick be felt badly
sold, but after so ne deliberafion let
the cunning woman out of jai! in the
same attire that had served to liber
ate her husband. Search has been
made for Osborne but he doubtless
has made good his escape. His
wife seems to be very proud of her
successful scheme to get him out OF
jail. Hereafter Sheriff Gaines will
be suspicious of petticoats.

PLANT OATs.--Now is the time to
plant cats, and it ia the universal
hope Of all interested in the pros,
perity of the farming interests
that this will not be neglected. The
splendid cat crop made this year has
been worth thousands of dollars to
the farmers and as the next crop
of corn may not turn out So abund,
antIy as the present, another good
and extensive GA! crop would come
in very oppOrtuuely to supplement
it and suppl, the deficiency. As a
crop most easily made, and one Of
the most economical of all, oats
stands at the head of the list.

An example worthy of imitation
is thus recorded by the Dawson
Journal: Owe presented small
account of three dollars to a good
citizen 10 our county few days
ago, aud he answered that he had
no money. Knowing him to be per-
fectly good and reliable, while we
very much needed the money, we
said nothing more about it. A few
minutes after we left the gentleman,
he said he got to thinking about
the matter aud began to count up
his little accounts around town and
he felt like he was not doing right
to be holding his cotton 10 the ware
house when he was owing money to
men who nee led it probably worse
than be did. He wen. straightway
and sold bale of cotton and paid
up bis accounts"

To See the Handsomest Woman in the World,
and % Performing Elephants. 1000 Wild
Colossal Circus in Two Rings, and Grand
Procession Of Industry.
The Great Forepaugh Show exhibits at Allan
ia, on Saturday, Nov. Ilth. In addition 10 a
grandly great circus in two great rings, and a
monster menagerie Of 1000 wild beasts, all
transported by four great railway trains, there
is 10 be great, grand, free Procession on the
day Forepaugh exhibits there. Every town in
this county will b. represented in this huge,
highway, holiday parade. IN addition to this
the great pageants of "Oleopatra" and "Lalla
Rookh" will be presented in the show parade.
This latter spectacle is described as being the
| most gorgeous ever seen upon the streets Of an
American city. The loveliest lady in the land
has been secured TO personify the beautiful
Eastern Princess, Lalla Rookb, whom poets
describe as more beautiful than any Of those
heroines whose names and loves embellsh the
songs of Persia and Hindosan more perfect
than the divinest images of the Houss OF Azor."
In this gorgeous, glitterinG, Oriental pageant,
Lalla Rookh is seen reclining in her sumpIu0us
howdah. borne aloit upon the back Of ponder
Gus and kingly elephant, the largest on this
continent, whose embroidered velvet tTappings
touch the ground; IA fair young female slave
sits tanning the Princess through the rose col

wings, and the lovely troupe Of Tartarian and
Casbmsrean n aids Of honor ride upon each
side Of the Princess upon small Arabian horses

by Cavaliers in costly armor, mounted upon
"Steeds with their housings Of rich silver spun
Their chains and potrels gttering in the sun
And Csmels tufed DER with Yemen's shells
Shaking in every breeze their light toned belly"
In keeping with the author OF Lalla ROokb's
description of this grand, gittering, lavish and
luxuriant spectacle, are seen the Guards of the
great Kedar Kahn, with their silver battle
axes and maces Of gol1, followed by the Great
Nazir, or Chamberlain OF the Harsm, and the
retinue of the Court Of Delhi mounted upon
elephants, camels and Arabian horses, decora-
ted in Oriental trappings and bearing aOft the
royal standards-the entire scene recalling to
the beholder the glores and the grandeur Of
the distant Indies the whole forming the
most magnificent, picturesque and realistic
Oriental spectacle ever presented in the New
World, requiring the expenditure Of a hundred
thousand dollars in its preparation, eclipsing
all displays Of pageantry ever produced by any
exhibition, and in itself worth miles Of travel
to b hold. Remember, this superb spectacle is
presented daily, between the hours Of and ~
a. m. and is q great, grand, gorgeous, tree
public festival for all to look at and admire.

These cool nights when a young
man kisses his girl good night about
1870 a. M, he may have nearly a
mile to walk before reaching his
home, and he envies bis girl, who,
he supposes, jumps into bed and is
fast asleep ten minutes after he
leaves the house. He doesn't know
that she must first fish 70 hair pins
out of her head, one at a time, and
twist her hair up into bits of paper
so that it will crimp nicely next day
and that he is 10 bed snoring before
che turns off the gas. If he was

healthfulness and delicacy, in which qualities
am justified in saying that 1t has never been

THE GRsAT SHOW.

Nearly everybody for miles around Atlanta
came into the city Yesterday TO see 3. H. Bar.
rett 81 Co.'S great show. For weeks this cir
Gus has been advertising its great attractions,
and yesterdays exhibition disclosed the fact
that their advertisements were but the truth.
Their street parade, which started out at 10
OclOch II m, was the largest that was ever
seen in Atlanta and took fifty inmates to pass
given point. Under the canvas there was no
disappointment. The meuagerie was excellent,
both in number and variety of animals exhibit
ted, and il is certain that better collection has
never come south with any circus. The circus
pLoper was above the average, the bareback
riding, the acrobat feats the dog show the
trained horses, the Malay gymnast's antics the
tight rope walking and velooipsde riding, the
trapeze performances and all, were IA good AS
ever seen in Atlanta. The circus tent il about
double the ordinary size, having two center
poles, and the seats will accommodate 5000
people While the day performance was good,
that at night was still better and it was wit
messed by rs large crowd as was eyer seen
under a circus tent. Not even old Jonn Rob
inson, in his palmiest days, ever drew such
crowd. One commendable feature OF Barrett's
show is its decency. The men are quiet, or
DERBY and well behaved, and there is IA marked
absence Of rodyism, that usually characterizes
shows. Brrrett's circus is good one-all who
saw ii say so. In fact, every thing that is good
with circus, was found with Barrett 81 Co.'s
ye sterday.-[ Atlanta Constitution, Oct. 10Th.
