On Saturday last Sheriff Edmondson. of
Troup county, went to Judge Ferreu'S
| place, about four miles from LaGrange,
with a warrant for one Sam Beasley.
| Beasley has a boy about IL years of age,
toward whom he seemed to have no very
great paternal love When the Sheriff
reached Beaslev's home the boy was stand
ing in the middle of the floor, with a trace
chain around his neck, fastened with pad
lock, and the other end fastened to a ioist.
The Sheriff, on examination, found the
boys body covered with scars as big as a
mans hand. One of his arms was in a
sling, being very badly burned, Beasley
having thrown him in the fire The brute
was brought to town, and placed in Jail,
but he afterward gave bond. The grand
| jury will look after him at the approaching
| session.
Nearly three years ago, while II. Mitchell,
now night clerk at the Brown House, Ma
con, was a telegraph operator at his present
location, he had strong passion for collect
ing old coins, and in odd moments would
cut on the face of his most cherished ones
his initials, II. N. Among his choice pieeas
he had three half-dollars, bearing the dates
! of 1907, 1S0S and 1910. But time changes
ones fortunes, and true to its old adage,
changed his. That choice collection, how
ever, loved and precious to his desires, could
not IN its present form yield to him exist
ence, so with tears he parted from them as
needs compelled him to. But again fortune
has changed his luck, and his flag floats
proudly once more. Monday night, feeling
the impulses of former days, he glanced at
some coins which he CHANGED to have in his
| pocket, and to his establishment and rapture
he beheld a half dollar, being the date of

face, was H. NJ. His joy knew no bounds.
Now, after a lapse of three years, it would
take much TO part the two firm friends.
/ Marion Sanders is the son of a respect
able farmer of Franklin county named
John Sanders. In December last Marion
Sanders traded anote to Wilson Whtworth,
purportlng 10 have been signed by Squire
| Russell. The latter declared the signature
a forgery, when Whitworth had Marion
Sanders arrested for fraud John Sanders,
the father of Marion, went TO all the parties
concerned and had the case against his son
dropped by paying the note Marion
Sanders, however, thought it his duty to
| get even with the people by inform

among others having Whitworth
arrested. This so enraged the people that
they determined to push the case for forgery
against him. Last week Sheriff MCGOWAN
went in pursuit of Sanders, not catching up
with him until Saturday night On Mon
day all the parties met at Martin TO settle
on a bond. John Sanders went back to his
own neighborhood to secure bondsmen,
while Marion was left in charge of Bailiff
Harrison. Failing TO get men willing to go
on the bond, the old man returned, and
slipping pistol to his son, told him to skip.
As the young man did 50, a shower of bull
lets went after him, two charges entering
his body, and causing him TO halt. Who
| fired the shots is not known, The wounds
may result in death
