ing through the woods in Jackson
county. A short while since old Mil
ledge Bennett was suspected of being
crazy. He had lived tor some time in
jackson county and had two children,
a boy and a girl, who stayed around
him continually. The old man was
brought before the ordinarv's court of
inquiry on a writ of lunacy, and was
adjudged insane and accordingly sent
to the asylum. His two children had
by this time grown up to be
of considerable size, and when
the old father was sent away
to Milledgeville, they put right off
into the woods. They had lived in
the woods now for some time, and are
raving mad. They have lost what
little civilization they possessed, and
are now back on the level of beasts.
Their presence creates terror, and
they have full sway where they roam.
They hardly I'VE come out to the
view of mankind, but prefer to stay in
the woods. They live on corn and
whatever food they can lay their
hands upon. They have with them
several things which they took from
their home, among them a fierce bull
dog, which has grown as wild as a
tiger.-AHanta Constitution.

An Heroic Savage.
To show what an Indian can stand
when he has to, | hay tell of an Incl
dent which happened during the Win
ter / was with them. Toward even
ing, on a very cold winter day, when
it was showing just a little and drift
ing a great deal. an Indian came to
the loghouse with a jug half full of
whiskey and with his rifle. Imagine
that the jug had been entirely full of
whiskey when he started, and by the
time he got to the house he was in
rather a jolly condition. The jug
and the rifle were taken away from
him, and he was ordered to get to his
wigwam as quick as he could before
darkness came on. He left, and was
supposed to have gone to the camp,
I but early next morning his squaw APP
iEpeared at the house and said he had
not come home that night, and as the
night was very cold she had been
anxious about him. Then the search
for the lost Indian began.
He was found in one of the sheds
near the barn under a heap of drifted
snow, and the chances are that the
snow that was above him had helped
to save his life. The searchers for the
Indian had gone in different direc
tons, and it was his own squaw who
with true Indian instinct, had tracked
him out, and she was alone when she
found him. Apparently the Indian
was a frozen corpse. She tumblel
him out of his snowbank and pulled
