WHAT IS HOME WITHOUT MoTHERp


What is home without a motherY
Adage old, but oh, how true
When you're sick or sOrely troubled
She will always come TO you.
When babe and in the cradle,
For yourself could nothing do,
There was one above all others
Mother-she would be with you.
When your steps advanced to boyhood--
Worldly trials you'd but few,
She II was who Oft advised aud
Pointed out the path for you.
When you'd passed on into manhood,
And met troubles, not few
II you needed friend or succOr,
Mother-she would come to you.
Words are true In that old adage-
MOreso, aye, than any other
For It's true and always will be,
What is home without mother.

der of His Child.
The coroner's jury which has been con-
sidering the fatal poisoning case which oc-
CURED at Guyton on Sunday night last has
adjourned over until to-day when it will
render a verdict.
The circumstances connected with the
poisoning are reported to be as follows: The
wife and 3-year-old son of Sam Chapman,
a colored man employed on Capt. Stubbs'
place, returned TO their cabin in the rear of
Mr.. Matthew's premises after spending the
afternoon out The woman found some tea
on the table, supposed to have been left there
by her husband, and not only drank some of
1t herself but gave some TO the child. Very
soon thereafter they became violently ill
and the nausea led to vomiting. DIR. J. G..
Lawrence was Immediately called In and
made the discovery that they had drank
something with poison in it. The child
lived about three hours and died in great
agony. The mother has so far survived,
but is not able to be out yet.
Suspicion strongly pointing to the hus-
band as the guilty party. he was arrested
and is now in Jail, although at present no
positive evidence of his guilt has yet de-
veloped.
A white substance was found in the bot
tom of the teapot and it is believed that
Chapman made the tea. Chapman and his
wife did not live a very felicitous life, aud
often occupied separate quarters.
A post mortem examination by Drs.
Lawrence and Lanier, under the direction
of Coroner Brogden, it is said. developed
the fact that tho child had been poiso ed.
The colored people are greatly excited
over the poisoning, but opinions are very
much divided between tnem as to Chap
mans guilt Mayor Sweat has been very
Jealous in working up the case, and if guilt
is fastened upon Chapman as the murderer
of his own child he will be prosecuted
earnestly.
