Chief keenan, But at last all unbelievers
are brought around. and it appears that
this was the case With the doughty chief
Some days ago he was suffering consider
ably with neuralgia. After trying every
remedy under the sun, he at last came upon
a friend who had a receipt, which he was
not caring particularly to reveal to the
chief, but seeing the official in deep trouble
he finally consented to apply the remedy.

around the neck Of the chief. another
aroun nd his waist, another down the back
connecting the one from the neck with that
around the waist, and fourth down his

two bands This completed the outfit
| When the operation was finished. the chief,
with an incredulous smile, asked what came
next. 20, you will talk different in a few
minutes. replied the friend, with know
ing shake Of the head. In a minute the
official felt strange sensation in his face,
and within five minutes all pain had left
| him. To say that he was amazed would be
putting it mildly. He has already given the
cure to dozens of sufferers, and now he is at
work solving the problem of how he was
cured AS yet he has found no ore who
can give the cause for IL.
| Harry $. Voss, who had been locked up
for tn ee days in the city prison at Atlanta,
| was released Monday. Voss was arrested
on telegram from Richmond, Va, accus-
| ing him Of grand larceny. The accusation
was only all excuse for having him ar
rested, as it was claimed that he had broken
| open his wife's trunk to get money to elope
with Miss Mollie Atkinson. Monday Mrs.
| Voss appeared on the scene aud told her
| story. Mrs. Voss Is very pretty young
| woman, about % years old, and brunette.
| When she was brought into police head
| quarters by Chief Connolly she told her
| recreant husband that she [, rgave him
| freely for all of his sins, and agreed to take
| him back il he would only live for her and
| love her as he did when when he married
| her five years ago. Her hush md was COM
| pletely overcome by the kindness of the
| wife whom he had deserted, and promised
| that he would retura and would do as she
| wished. Miss Mollie Atkinson was brought
| up to the office OF chief Of police by Capt.
Couch, and the meeting between the two
| women was most tragic. Don't you
think you have wronged me greatly said
| Mrs. Voss, latter all have done for
yous After treating you as a sister, do
you not think that you have wronged me
deeply" Eyes" said the younger woman,
Il nave done you great wrong, and pray

you, said Mrs. Voss. ''only you must forget
all tnis and return TO your home and lead a
| better life.n II will do il, and will lie
your servant, il in that way can atone for
the misery taat have caused you, o my
poor mother" Never mind about that, ~
said Mrs Voss. 'If you will only re urn
and lead a virtuous life ! can freely forgive
you for all the pain that you have caused
me-" With that they separated. They all
left for their homes yesterday.
| Brunswick Times: William B. Davis. an
engineer by profession, came to Brunswick
early Ia the twenties and seriously proposed
| to build railroad from here to the Alta
maha river. The people thought he
was crazy. Their incredulity about the
practicability of railroad across the
marshy country between Turtle river and
the Altamaha Is somewhat excusable in the
light OF the facts that there was no railroad
then in existence; that not till the year 1925
was one successfully operated in England,
and that when Davis was talking railroads
in Brunswick there was more on the Ameri-
can conainent. His efforts and those of his
associates reached a practical result when
| in 1928, two years before the Baltimore and
Ohio was built, aud four years before the
| first railroad was operated hy steam in the
United States, the Georgia legislature char
| tered a railroad. The company was called
| tho Brunswick Canal Company, but by the
| terms of the act the iucorporators were
authorized ITO build canal or railroad. or
| both, from the Altamaha river TO Turtle
river or TO Brunswick With the grant
ing of this charter, however, matters
seemed to rest for several years
until 1880, when another act was
passed comforting the same powers
and privileges, but even under
this act no work was done. In 1894. when
Wilson Lumpkin was governor, and
Thomas Glasscock was speaker of the House.
and Jacob Wood was president of the Sem
| ate, Dill was passed consolidating the
previous acts and granting to VIM. w.
Hazard, Thomas Butler King, Stephen C.
King aud their associates authority to con-
struct the railway or canal or both. And
this act allowed Urbanus Dart and VIM. B.
| Davis to associate themselves with the
new company. It was under this
act and by these men that the
work was finally begun in 1886
