meeting the other night, stated that five
sixths of those who died in Al bany-and the
deaths are very few-go straight to hades,
because they do not 60 to church. Another
minister, and good man who has done
good and self-sacrifcing missionary work
throughout the south, objects TO this sweep
ing assertion, and gave some of the reasons
| that kept many away from houses of wor-
ship. He told OF ladies old-fashioned and
simple in their tastes, who, while pure and
good, really lacked the moral courage TO go
TO church when the majority dressed so
eXtravagantly and ostentatiOusly.

Quite a sensation has been created at
fairburn by the disappearance Of Wilson
Adamsy a well-known young man. For
some time Adams has been keeping com
pany with Miss Beavers, one of the leading
young ladies OF the town. The couple were
generally understood to be engaged but for
some reason the wedding did not take place
Recently friends of the young lady took the
matter in charge, and an attempt was made
to keep Adams up to his promise. Two
DAYS ago, however, the young man skipped,
and consequently the marriage had to be
postponed until his returc. Miss Beavers

tempted suicide as reported.
It is reported by gentleman from the
JEWELS district of Hancock county that a
Mrs. j. E. Freeman, who claims to be a
Baptist evangelist, is creating a great sensa-
ton among the people of that community
by several wonderful cures which she claims
to have wrought by means Of faith Soon
after reaching that district she announced
that she possessed the power of healing all
manner Of ailments through faith, and in
vited the diseased to place themselves under
her care. Many people who were afflicted
with chronic complaints that had baffied
the skill of the best physicians of the county
accepted the invitation, received treatment
at her hands and are apparently healed.
Mrs. Freeman anoints the patient thor
oughly with oil before making PRAYER for

Sheriff Hurst has returned to Thomas
vile from Hardeeville, s. c., where he went
last Sunday to bring back q. H. Coxweu
under a requisition from GOV. Gordon.
Coxwell was brought to Thomasville at
the instance of Judge Hopkins, CHARGED
with simple larceny, committed in Novem-
Der last, in carrying off a valuable dog
The dog was recognized by Conductor
Barnard and taken possession and returned
at the time to Judge Hopkins. The Iires
says Of the case: at isn't often that a
white man gets put IN jail for stealing a
dog, and it isstill more rare for the gov
ernQT Of a state to make reduisition on the
governor of another state for a man charged
with this otfense and yet Thomasville
furnishes case of this kind. Mayor Hop
kins would follow a man to Mexico, or the
West Indies, who had taken one of his
dogs"
Sylvania Telephone: Last Friday we
learn that Messrs. Claude Overstreet and
John o. Mathews went out on bird hunt
over In the fork and thinking they might find
larger game, took along some shells charged
with buckshot While rumbliug about in
the odd fields near the swamp, they spied a
largo ram goat, fawn colorei, with long
horns, lying in small clump of bushes
some distance away, and as Claude O. had
never shot deer, John NJ. gave him the
shot. Claude got down on his
hands and knees and crawled about 100
yards when, thinking he was near enough
TO insure dead shot, raised up and fred.
John M. had gone around to take a stand
for the buck in the event Claude missed
him, and in going around discovered it to
be "billy" goat, but didn't give il away
to Claude. When he fired the goat Jumped
high in the air aud gave a loud bahama,
but Claude ran up and caught him by the
horn to cut his throat before he realized the
mistake II is said the darkey to whom the
goat belonged wants pay for him and says
he intends to have it.
The town council of Elliiav and Mart
Teen. the hotel man OF that place, are hav-
ing trouble. The history Of the trouble is
as follows: On Oct. 10, 1887, the city att
thorities Of EuIjay passed an ordinance
putting the price If liquor license within
the corporate limits to O0O0, and no man
was found to cover the offer. The high
license law, which meant virtual pro
hlbition, stood upon the municipal statute
book undisturbed until the May term Of
Gilmer superior court Of 1888, when Mr..
Teen pleaded guilty to selling liquor without !
a license in his hotel on the public square.
This plea opened the councils eyes. They |
thought Mr.. Teem was liable for tax if he |
sold whisky in the corporate limits. So |
they consulted the legal advice of Col. |
Perry, and instituted a suit for $4,000 on |
his direction. Just how the suit will tertni- |
nate no ono knows, but many wild specu- |
ations are INDUCED in by the public MIR. |
Teen says he is confident 10 ny ia the |
county would give a verdict against him for |
such an amount, and he is quietly bidiug |
the day Of trial. The case is very interest |
ng, and ELECTS varied comments
