A savage Runaway Collision.

i Mr.. and Mrs. J. II. Ford, while On
their way to church last Sunday, met
with an experience thai might have
resulted fatally.
They were driving along Chestnut
street, and had just passed the crossing
leading diagonally from Riddles block
to the Court House. when a team of
horses belonging 10 L. A. Plum, came
dashing up the street directly in front
of them Mr. Ford backed his horse,
endeavoring to drive insi;!e the fence
iu front of Riddles block. but owing
to his horse being nearly paralyzed
with fear, seemingly rooted in its
tracks, he was unable to do so, and in
another instant the wagon attached to
the runaway team struck the carriage
containing Mr.. and Mrs. Ford. over
turning it and throwing the occupants
violently to the ground George Pitz,
who happened to be near by. sprang
for the horses bit, and assisted Mr..
Ford in an eninavor to hal5 thH horse
after the extriration of himself and
wife from the wreck from which they
fortunately escaped without hurt other
than a few bruises. But in spite of
the combined efforts of the two men,
the now ungoverpable animal. on
recovery from its momentary paralysis
of fright, reared and plunged so fear
fully that it broke loose from them,
and ran down the street, turning the
corner by NJ. Gretzirger's. where
ahort distance below it was stopped by
Charley Bewley, after wrecking and
literally smashing the carriage into
smithereens.
The peril in which Mr.. -and Mrs.
Ford were'placed renders their escape
from serious IL not fatal injury, almost
miraculous.
The team of Mr.. Plum was standing
in the rear of his milk depot in the
Riddle Block, attached to a covered
milk wagon, into which be was load.
ing milk cans What caused them -
run is not known. but something nAlst
have frightened them badly, or they
betrayed the confidence reposed in
them by their owner. who left them
unguarded and unhitched, but was
only few steps removed from them,
and had no thought of their sudden
and reckless trial of speed" in which
they left the top of the wagon at Gret-
fingers corner, and next came in con
tact with G.. P. Ticknor's milk rig,
resulting in couple of broken hame
straps for the Ticknor team, short
distance on depositing the body of the
wagon, with its clatteripg cans, by
the side of the road, just before coliid
ing with Mr.. Ford's vehicle. They
then tore along the street to point in
front of Marvin's Restaurant, where
they "straddled !" d hltching post. and
were easily captured. One Of the run
awuys, with Mr.. Ford's horse, was
slightly injured.

PASSING WAY.

One year mo -e has gone with the pest,
Time is rolling along quite fast.
We, as well as the passing year,
VIII not great while remain here;
When the summons comes we must 60,
And leave this earthly world below.
Where, o where, will our homes then be !?
When from this earth our souls are free,
Will we have everia,:ting life?
Freed from all trogble care and strife,
VIII all our sorrows then be DER?
VIII we reach that heavenly shore?
All, the answer comes to my heart.
If you love Christ and do your part
To work for Him with willing hands,
And obey all of Gods commands,
There is home for you above.
Where joy will reign supreme in love.
There with angels your voices raise
With the loved ones TO God in praise,
There TO be clothed in robes of white,
Where all is glorious and bright
Eternal day without the night,
A home for those that have done right.

Monday morning sheriff Jones took
possession of the office TO which he
was recently elected, II. T. Sheldon
retiring.
Mr.. Sheldon has made, in all re
spects, one of the most efficient officers
VINO have ever served this county.
His course from the irst has been that
of q thorough man of business, whose
whole time and energy were regarded
by him as belonging 10 the fulfiilment
of the trust to which he had been
called. S1ackness and procrastiugtion
were unknown to him, consequently,
when he harJed over the office to has
successor, his record was complete in
every particular, 50 far rs punctuality
and correct business habits could max o
it so. He was also stranger to mis-
takes, and when an act was performed
in his office, before it was allowed to
become final, it received his pers onal
to insure its correctness.
These qualifications combined with
pleasant, gentlemanly manner, have
made for the retiring officer an euvia
BILE record.
Mr.. Sheldon and family have moved
to Windham, where he is engaged in
mercantile business.

Possum and Taters.

This fife tailed country animal has been part of the south as long as there has been any south, and. like the rabbit. he is very prolific, and seems to increase instead ot diminish as the years rol! on. He is very fond of persimmons from which the name opossum is de rived. He was nearly always caught up persimmon tree, which was gradually contracted into e'possum. .-..
 Three or four years ago our oommis- sion merchants began buying a few pos sunss and selling them to a few select customers. in Atlanta Before that tims: an o'poSsom now and then found it's way into the city through the agency ; of some great possum warrior, who a. ways found a ready sale for the tooth. some animal. Everything. has changed since then, and the 'possum, has, through no efforts of his ewn, arisen 10 a very important place in the commercial world, One commission merchant in formed me that he handled 800 'possums a month, and at FolSom's restaurant 100 ct those animals are bntchered every month and served out to those who are fond of them, and that means nearly every southern raised man, . s..
 Possums are sold at yaIions pnoes, governed according ,e the size of the animal. The kittens. bring from 20 to 70 cents, while ,he. tull g;s,wa range from 70 cents to SI. - =. -,.- :.
 4 dish oi 'possum and ta,ers ~ill cos, ,ou 50 cents. but if you want a 'possum supper II will cost. you from Si.so 70 S. A possnm supper con- sists of a whole 'possum baked with sweet potatoes. and then there s corn bread and coffee thrown in as extras, tor possum to he enjoyed mus, be eaten with corn bread. There's very remarkable teiug about possum meat. II Is as greasy as the meat of 3 hog; but unl Ike that, IL can be eaten with safety by persons with the weakest, di, gcstion. Ii won't fill up hke pork O,
 other meat. but you can eat a very large quantity of it snd feel no bad effects from 50 doing. ..:..< .. E. :. .:..%9
 'PosSums are caught within mile and half of Atlanta, and, as l said before. they are as numerous and prolific as rab- bits. My brother, Tn coming home very late one bright moonshiny night last win ter met very large and very fat old 'possum on Wheat street. and after a lit- tle persuasion the 'possum was induced to accompany him home. The next day that 'pcssum was the leading attraction at the dinner table. :-,. .e ::,.s1 x
 H you hava never tasted 'possum meat you have lived in vain; ;; If ,ou have never inhaled the delicious fragrance arising from dish of 'possum and ',s- ters, life has been bu, mockery to you, andif you do not get you 'possum and bake hini with swet, potatoes for your dinner to-nlofrow you'll regret it even to inc end ef your liic.--A,lanta Journal.
