CONFEDERATE DECORATION.

Owing to insufficient notice there was
only small crowd present last Saturday
at the decoration of the graves at the
Confederate Cemetery in this place. The
decoration was postponed from April Goth,
TO allow persons to attend the memorial
exercises in Atlanta. Rev. II. K. Walk
er offered beautiful prayer, after which
the graves were decorated. The books
containing the plat of graves in the GENE.
terry have unfortunately been mislaid any
information as to their whereabouts left
at Mr.. B. R. Legg's store will be thankful

the association are confident they will be
able to place head stones at al the graves
as they have secured special low rate on
them. Nothing in this direction can be
done until the books containing the names
ETC., of the soldiers buried in the cemetery
can be found.

In CHAINS THOUGH INNOCENT.

The Dublin, (Ga.,) Post publishes
the following strange story:
A man by the name Of Starnicker
passed through Dublin last week
on his way home in Burke county,
from Empire, where he had been
working on the changing.
Seventeen years ago Henry
Chance was murdered in Burke
county and suspicion resting on
Starnicker-he having had diff
Guilty with him only a few days be-
fore-he was tried, convicted and
sentenced to the penitentiary for
life. He always protested his inno-
cence, but the eyes of the law had
no tears for or compassion on him.
He delved away for sixteen long,
weary years without even hope of
ever becoming o free man again.
But in this he was mistaken.
A few weeks ago man by the
name of Crane, of Burke, had a
number of witnesses called in and
confessed. on his death bed, that he
had sworn falsely against Starnicker
and upon his testimony he was sent
to the penitentiary.
Upon the sworn statement of the
witnesses who heard the confession,
and petition signed by the citizens,
the governor granted pardon as
above.
No one can ever describe the feel
ing Of this pardoned man. While
he knew that he was innocent of the
crime for which he had served six
teen years.of his life sentence, il
must have been source of much
pleasure to him to know that the
matter had been cleared and thai
his fellow-citizens have a knowledge
of it also.

A VALUABLE INVENTION.
A Fortune for a Marietta Young Man.

SOME weeks ago we gave statement
about Mr.. j. Bolan Glover, Jr., son of
Superintendent Glover, of the M. & n G.
R. r., Of this place, having invented and
patented "car axle lubricatior. One
of the greatest troubles in running trains
is keeping the journals oiled to prevent
friction, catching on FIRE, or getting so hot
as to melt. Our friend, Bolan, who is a
mechanical genius, has successfully invent
ed lubricator, that does the work effic-
iently. His invention has been tried on
cars on the Marietta and North Georgia
Railroad, and the test has proven to be the
very thing needed. The car has run 600
miles before the oil needed replenishing
in the lubricator, thus showing how great
a saving of time and labor this axle
lubricator will be. We congratulate our
young friend on this invention. 1t is
bound to be in demand by all the railroad
owing to its utility and economical princi-
Piles. 1t will no doubt make him fortune.
