A Dangerous Man.

The most peaceable and dangerous
man in all this United States lives in
Murray county, Ga. He is kind
hearted, good tempered, never had a
quarrel in his life, wouldn't hurt q fly,
and everybody is afraid of him.
About ayear ago he was cutting wood,
when the axe flew off the handle and
killed a man who had come to pay
him $50. He never got a cent OF the
money. The next week, while ferrying
friend across the river, he ran the
boat against a snag and his friend
was drowned. About month later
he felled tree on top of q stranger
who was lying asleep in the woods,
killing him instantly. Not long after
he shot at wild turkey and killed a
neighbor whom he didn't see at all.
Three weeks later he lighted a kero-
sene lamp, when it suddenly exploded,
burning to death q colporteur to
whom the inoffensive Georgian had
courteously extended the hospitality
of his home. All this mans friends
run when they see him coming. He
would be afraid to extend any kind
nesses save to his enemies, If he had
any. His last public act was to cross
the street with O ladder on his shout
der last Fourth OF July, while the
procession was passing, and when
somebodv shouted to him to "hurry
on" he obligingly turned around and
started back. The procession was
laid out, and the day was spoiled.

the St. James's Gazette. "The mode

There is no sewing up in sacks, no
