VIII Rear Watching.

Last Wednesday morning, among the
passengers from the Roswell road, at ROs-
well junction, awaiting the Atlanta train,
was Joe Patterson and wife, of Banks
county fame. 1t will be remem Oered
alb ut four years ago he attempted to take
ner life by cutting Der throat, in Banks
county. For the Offense Gov Stephens
offered reward for his arrest, which was
accomplished. II gave bond for his ap-
pearance al court, and through his STRAIT
egy mas evaded a trial by fOrletng his
bond in some way, from court TO court,
thus allowing it to be STAYED. 1t is re-
ported that he was fleeing from two war
rants sworn out against him ia Milton
county, by mis- wife's mother, for WIFE
beating, and to keep the peace. When
the Atlanta train arrived the conductor
came in the depot for orders. Mrs. Pat
terson, IL is supposed, mist00k Mr.. Hard
ing. the conductor, for policeman, beg
ged him in most piteOus manner to take
her away from her husband, saying that
be was going TO take her of and Kill
her.
Mr. Patterson told him to pay no atten-
tiOn to her, as she was under the infu-
ence OF morphine, and knew not what she
was doing. A few moments subsiding,
they left the depot. Going over to store
near by, Patterson called for knife. AT
ter examining the stock, he remarked
that none suited him, as be wished one
with long, keen blade. They returned
to the depot and purchased tickets TO Nor
cross, but they did not get of at that
point. In a conversation with the agent,
he remarked that his wife was suffering
from mental alteration. The agent being
unacquainted with the facts OF the past,
asked him if he had ever succeeded in get
ting his trouble settled. He said: "No,
IL has cost me 81 800, and still pending"
Says he: "You remember Falkner came
TO arrest me at the time there was a re-
ward for me. Well, you see where he is
now. He was killed while convict by

THE DENoUEMENT

At this point the reader might inquire
what is there In this more than has hap
pened so often to unfortunate humanity ?
II no further merit, it is another or the
many cases which show that truth
is stranger tnan felton, as will try and
prove.
In Connecticut, about the middle of the
last century there were two sisters named
Mary and Hannah Raymond. One OF
these sisters married man named
Brooks, and the other married a man
named Hoyt. The Mrs. Harris of whom
am writing is a daughter of the first
named marriage. A daughter Of the sec
Ond named married Charles Sherman, and
William Tecumseh Sherman is a son of
this last-named marriage. Thus, Mrs.
Harris was a first cousin, of the whole
blood, to Gen. SheIman's mother, and
Gen. Sherman, without knowing 1t, burn
cd and pillaged the property of his moth
ePs first cousin, and she, an aged lady, a.
perfect a specimen Of n non-com6atant
among adults as uld be found.
The foregoing Facts and Incidents seem
sufficiently romantic ana dramatic to war
rant their publication, and should interest
the citizens oil South Carolina particular
ly, and generally those of other States.

the old lady began her journey back. She
travelled portions OF the journey at times
aud finally reached her destination. When
she got there. rather than be burthen in
her old age upon her old friends, most Of
whOm were themselves in poor clrcum-
stances, she took cabin on her own land,
under the protection OF n faithful negro
man and his family. Some distant rela-
tives sent her small sums, and with the
aid OF the neighbOrs and her own eXer-
lions she was able TO subsist; but later
she became bed-ridden, and was bur
then upon the faithful negro. Finally she
was taken to the home of kind gentle
man and his wife, named Riley, and there,
about two years ago, at the advanced ave
ofSS, she died-died at home at last, and at
last found the home she for many years so
desired TO have.

A DEsOLATE OLD AGE.

From the preceding narrative il will al
ready be understood that Mrs. Harris In
her old age was left by sherman homeless
and destitute. with no blood relation any
nearer than the distant and antagOnistlc
State Of Connecticut. No friend In the
neighb0rhood was able to relieve her, aud
she made her way 10 the nearest part Of
Georgia that sherman had spared, where
she found an abiding place with one OF
the descendants OF the friends Of her
youth. There a nephew OF her deceased
husband, the Rev. Franklin Harris, went
for her and brought her 10 his nome In At
ianta. Ia the course OF a few years he
died, and thus the last link In the way Of
a relative mad been broken, and the old
lady felt very desoiate. BY this time she
was ~ years OF axe, and she could d.

In New Quarters.

Messrs. LORD & THOMAS, of Chi
cage, well-known and popular Adver-
Using Agents have removed to new
quarters, which are so spacious, so
elegant, and so original and novel in
their appointments, that they deserve
more than passing notice.
The building, Nos. As, AZ and 40
Randolph St., between State and Wa
bash Ave., is at once the most striking
in appearance and the most elegant in
Chicago; built of sandstone, it is 70
by ia feet, practically fire proof, and
lighted on four sides. Three large
elevators and two spacious stairways,
give abundant facilities for passengers
and freight.
Messrs. LORD x THOMAS occupy
the entire third floor, giving them a
superficial area of nearly 10000 So ),
feet. This beautifully lighted room
is unbroken by partitions, save pri-
vate office in one corner, thus bringing
the entire working force of about
sixty clerks into one spacious room,
certainly the largest office of any
advertising agency in the country, if
not the largest business Office of any
kind on the continent.
The various departments are so
arranged, that the work passes along
with almost mechanical regularity.
While the entire appointments are
elegant, the filing department. is ar
ranged on au entirely new principal,
which amounts to all important inven-
ton. Here tofore Advertising Agents
have filed their Newspapers in wooden
pigeon holes, which not only excluded
the light, but caught and retained the
dust, and thus proved nuisance. The
new filing department of Messrs. LORD
& THOMAS is made entirely of wire
work; separate compartment is made
for each Newspaper, Magazine and
Periodical in the u. S. and Canada,
about $4,000 in all. The various sec
tions are suspended from the ceiling,
and hang clear of the floor, leaving
space under each one so that the entire
floor can be swept.
Space will not permit US to describe
this important improvement in detail
The principles upon which it is con-
structed will be covered by letters
patent.
The Chicago Safe and Lock Co :,
have constructed for the firm one of
the largest safes ever built in Chicago.
Our friends who wish to see a copy
of our paper when in Chicago, can
always find it on file at the Agency of
Messrs. LORD & THOMAS.

Hon. Isaac Stephenson.

Hon. Isaac Stephenson's re-nomina-
tion is meeting with the hearty appro-
val of the laboring men, soldiers and
citizens Of the 9th district. In almost
every newspaper you pick up, in this
district, contains accounts of where
he has been instrumental in helping
them obtain pensions. We notice the
following case in the Northern Wiscon-
sin News democratic paper published
at Merrill: "Seven years ago, Mr..
George G. Sanford applied for pen
sion for disabilities received while in
the service. and with the assistance of
Wesley Mott, of Neenah, his attorney,
worked until he died. The claim was
then transferred to widows claim,
and for nearly three years every effort
has been made to secure pension for
widow Sanford. Mr.. Sanford was
injured in a railroad collision and
among strangers, consequently he could
get no evidence from eye witnesses.
Last June, H. R. Allen interested
himself in the claim, revised all the
evidence. secured the assistance of
Hon. Isaac Stephenson, M. c., and
Tuesday Mrs. Sanford received notice
that her claim was allowed. Never
did the allowance of pension claim
come more timely. She has struggled
brayely with adversely since her
husbands death. Her friends all
rejoice with her." It don't make any
difference with Mr.. Stephenson
whether the applicant for pension is
democrat or not he always gets the
same assistance irregardless of politics.

the eve of constructing large saw
mill at this place, was in the village
last week.
r. G. Ryan crushed his right foot
very badly one day last week, by a
heavy timber falling on it while driv-
ing piles on the new NJ. d. & n. R'y
extension.
F. A. Green of Grand Rapids and
Jno. SHUTS of Stevens Point drove
over from the Rapids Sunday. The
attractions of our village must be
more than of an ordinary nature, to
induce the young men to drive so
long a distance through the mud to
stay only few hours.
Mr.. Chas. Brown the victim of the
shooting affair here on Wednesday
evening of last week is getting along
nicely and if no unfavorab!e symptoms
appear he will recover from his wounds
in due course of time.

very fine potatoes known as the Bur-
