Brunswick Times: was one Of a large
crowd that gathered in Macon several years
| ago TO hear Hon. II. ID. Mcdaniel, who was
then governor, make a speech. As is well
known, Gov. Mcdaniel sJammers quite
badly. On this occasion his tongue seemed
to have become thicker than ever, and when
he arose it was with great difficulty
| that he stammered out: "F-e-l-l-o-w-
citizens" There were sitting near
me at the time couple OF
| horny-handed farmers from Crawford
county, who had gone to Macon to hear the
speech. They were pretty well filed with
snake medicine, and when the speaker
uttered his first two words one OF the farm
ers turned to the other and said in a voice
that could be heard by the entire crowd
John, the Guv. hev swallowed er bugW
There was thunderous applause, but the
| farmers remark seemed to nerve the gov
ernor to his undertaking, and he made one
of the best speeches Of his life.
Raymond Thurmond, an artist, vino
gained fame by picturing Clusters last bat
| tie is at Athens in poor health One of his
portrayals was a cyclorama 200 feet long
and eighteen feet high, but he hadn't quite
finished it when the company of gentlemen
with whom he was associated grew impa-
tient to exhibit it, and carried it to the
state fair at Minnesota They had 1t In a
large tent, and had arranged it for exhibit
ton, when on the night before the fair
opened there came heavy snow storm and
crushed it to pieces. Then his life almost
left him, for the work of his life had been
destroyed in a single night. The picture
had been valued at $40, 900.
He is now engaged ON two smaller pic
lures of the same battle. In Rome, Italy,
he entered gallery one rainy day, and was
looking over the fine pictures when a rich
gentleman asked him to make a copy of one
of them. He took a pencil and sketched an
outline of the picture, and with this devel-
oped true COPY, for which he was paid
one thousand dollars. Mr.. Thurmond isa sou
of w. H. Thurmond, and brother to Miss
Ruby Thurmond who teaches in the Athens |
city schools.
Robert Denham who lives on the Green |
Ferry road, near Westview cemetery, At |
lanta, left his house Wednesday with dog |
and gun to take squirrel hunt. He had |
not proceeded a quarter of a mile in the |
woods when he was stricken with paralysis, |
and fell TO the ground speeches. and help |
less. No human aid was near. He could |
not call to his friends, who were almost in |
hearing, even If he could have uttered a \
sound. His dog, his faithful and constant |
companion for many years, found him
in that condition. Unable TO move his
master to his home, he could only stay by |
his side, which he did for long weary hours,
which must have seemed days of agony to |
the suffering man. The dog watched and
waited by his stricken friend, but human
aid came not, and the day was near its /
close Going to his masters house, he went |
IN and whining piteousIy tried to attract |
the attention of the family. They thought |
nothing of his queer conduct at first but as
it continued, they began TO notice his !
acts more closely. He would start |
away from the house whining and bark
ing, and going a short distance,
would return when he found they did not |
follow him. This he did as many as eight
or ten times. Finally they decided to fol- |
low him, which, when he saw, he was furi- |
Gus with delight, and set Off in perfectly |
straight line through the woods They |
came upon the old man lying in the woods,
unable to move, and then they understood
the dogs actions. Tenderly they picked
Mr.. Denham up and carried him TO the
house, where death soon after ended his
sufferings.
