ton. He spent the day quietly at the Kim

he talked, he referred with pride to the fact

Eiberton Star: Dave helms, SON of iona
than Mel IS. II many years sheriff of this
county, is serving a life sentence at Col.
Smiths convict camp for killing a man in
Banks county. From what we can learn,
Dave only acted in self-defence, and his
conviction was an outrage on justice. He
has large and helpless family, to whom
he is devo-edly attached, but will not per-
init his children to visit him, as he says he
does not want his little ones to rec0ll ct
their father as wearing the garb and
shackles Of a feloa. We believe if pre-
sentation of all the facts were made to Gov
Gordon he would pardon Mr.. Nelms."

The Atlanta papers of Sunday printed
the story of woman who had left her
drunken husband and returned to her
home. Monday afternoon the deserted hus-
band was seen at the depot, and he was
making inquiries of all the officials as to the
| whereabouts of his wife. He was told
| what had taken place the day before, and
| his wifes words upon leaving were repeated
| to him. The man was thoroughly ashamed
| of his conduct, and this, added to the
| chaotic condition OF his nerves, caused him
to break down completely, and for several
minutes he wept and sobbed bitterly. He
admitted that he had disgraced his wife by
his conduct. but said he would reform and
never touch liquor again, and he hopes to
win his wife's love back again. He bought
a ticket for Chattanooga and left the city
at 6 o'clock.
Little Annie Ozburn, the 215-year-od
daughter of Policeman Bob Ozburn of At
lanta, has had remarkable experience
| with needle. About ten months ago the
child was taken sick and grew worse, be-
coming greatly reduced in weight and suf-
fering continuously. A number of doctors
were called in, but could do the child no
| good. Several times her life had been
despaired of, but the baby lived through it
| ALL and about a month ago began improv-
| ing. The improvement was slow, but
steady, and attended with no unusual
| symptoms. Saturday afternoon the
| little one complained of a pain in
| its stomach, and Mrs. Ozburn could feel,
on the left side, just below the RIBS,
the outline of hard, pointed solid suo-
stance DIR. p. E. Murray was at once
called in, and after cutting down and press
| ing down on each side of the point, sue
ceeded in getting the point far enough
| through to get hold of it with pair of
pincers. The medic, for such it was, was
| so firmly imbedded that the skiing followed
| the needle until torn loose. 1t was brought
out without being broken. The needle is a
| No or No 5, about Ia or IL inches long.
| The child was resting easy at last accounts.
| and will be able to be out in day or two.
| The superstition is that she swallowed the
needle nearly year ago, and that its pres
ence in her stomach accounts for her illness
| since thai time
