Wn. Dark and wife left Wednesday
on visit to Jackson county, Missouri,
his old home. Mr.. Dark says he will
come back to the eastern part of this
state and visit his wife's people, whom
he has never seen, and see what the
chances are for wintering with them.
But this is joke of his, for there are
few men in this country who are less
dependent upon their wife's people.
Geo. r. Stone, of this city, and T. S.

ness lot out there. Mr.. Updyke will
close out his Lake City establishment

Henry Sampson, a convict at work on
the Georgia Midland railroad, has es-
capped. 1t happened thus: When the
match was applied to tunnel, upon
which the gang were working, a few
days ago, the men were ordered to get
away, and they retired to respectful
distance. After the blast was fired
Sampson failed to appear. 1t was ev-
ident that he had taken advantage of
the opportunity to escape. A blood
hound was put on his track, but when
the dog was again seen, he was found
manacled TO tree with the convict's
shackles. Two new dogs were put on
the trail, but when they overlook the
fugitive he won their friendship, and
traded them to a negro woman for his
dinner. He is still at large This may
be pointer for Messrs. Standiford and
Lindsey. y bloodhound ought not be
quite as friendly as these seem to have
been. Sampson used dogs to better
advantage than our own and only De-
pew used them.
