A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.

Mr. Wyatt f. Buse who lives about two
miles below this place, met with a horrible
accident last Tuesday morning which result
ed in his death. His cotton gin was in mo-
ton and he reached under to clean the
notes out of the saws, when suddenly his
arm was caught by the sharp revolving saws
and drawn in up to his shoulder, cutting
off his fingers and horribly mangling his
arm. The arteries were jerked out and left
hanging in strings. The gin was stopped
and men came to his assistance to rescue
him from the savage teeth of the saws. They
attempted to pull him out, but his arm was
so securely wedged that they were unsue-
eessful, and not until they took the gin to
pieces were they enabled to extricate him
from his perilous position The severe
shock to his system and loss of blood, caused
the attending physicians to refrain from am
putating the limb, and they remained and
worked with him all day, hoping that he
would rally from his precarious condition,
but he died about II clock that night. He
leaves wife and several children. He
was an upright, industrious and good citizen,
and his death is to be deeply regretted.

DESTROYED BY FIRE.

The dwelling of Mr.. V. A. Handy.
about seven miles east of Marietta, was de-
stroyed by fire on last Thursday afternoon
about one o'clock. The members of the
family were in the field picking cotton,
when the fire was discovered When they
arrived at the house the building was en-
tirely wrapped in flames, and nothing was
saved except one bed Furniture bedding,
wearing apparel, cooking utensils barrels
OF syrup, some wheat provisions, and the
moneyed proceeds of one bale of cotton,
were all consumed. The building was a
seven room, neat and well constructed
dwelling, and the loss is heavy one to Mr.
Handy and his family. He is an upright
industrious and deserving gentleman and
we deeply sympathise with him in his mis-
fortune He had an insurance of SllOO
with Mr.. King. His loss is about $500 or
Sl7O0.

AFTER THE MATRIMONIAL SHABPEBs

"A citizen of this place who invested
largely IN Matrimonial Insurance Associa-
tons, when that kind of money-making was
all the rage, has made notification to some
Mississippi and Louisiana companies, that
he will institute suit in the United States
Court for the full amounts due him, as ac-
knowledged by the defunct matrimonial as
sociations And the beauty of it is the par
ties are worth the money They have tried
to effect compromise for less per centage,
but our Marietta man will not let them off
until the last farthing is paid, or the courts
decide otherwise.

PROSPECTIVE MlLLloNAIREs.

Every now and then it is reported that
there is large fortune in England Tor
American heirs, and Immediately there is a
correspondence and tracing of kinship to
the third and fourth generation. These
heirs are then asked by some lawyer in New
York or Philadelphia to contribute a sum
sufficient to defray the expenses of said law
yerto England to make the investigation and
secure the millions in bank there The
shrewd lawyer gets his hands on the money
and that is the last OF it. This editor has
some experience in this matter Our "bet-
ter halfs" fore-parents were named Finch,
and brother of one came to America and
the other remained in England and at his
death left vast fortune, which has aceumu-
lated until there is said to be eighteen million
of dollars there for distribution to the Finch
heirs. A lawyer in New York, related to
the Finches in this country opened up a
correspondence with the heirs, scattered
in New England Eastern States and the
South few Of them living in Atlanta.
These elated and prospective millonaires
contributed handsome sum, which was for
warded to the New York lawyer, who being
one of the parties at interest, agreed to man
age the case to secure the money Since
then, no correspondence or effort can un-
earth the lawyer or get any information as
to the Finch estate. However, Just as soon
as our wife receives her several millions of
this vast estate, We will retire from the
printing business and edit a Jersey farm.
Until that takes place, you will still find us
at the journal Office Our subscription
price will remain the same, $3.50 in ad-
vance. Advertising and job printing at
great reduction.

He got up as usual that morning in apparent

to haul some cotton to the gin When the
breakfast was prepared, he sat down to the
table. Suddenly he exclaimed to his daugh.
