| Jim Bales. Dublins 1iveryman, has re-
| turned from a fruitless search for a horse
and cart which man drove off and forgot
to return. About two weeks ago a neatly
dressed man. wearing a clerical look and a
clerical coat, applied to Mr. Bales for a
horse and road cart to drive down to the
home Of Rev. J. T. Rogers, living about
twelve miles below Dublin. The appear
ance of the man being that Of gentleman,
Mr. Bales let him have the horse and cart
without even taking his name. Several
days elapsed and the stranger did not
return. Jim then drove down TO the
home of Mr.. Rogers, but could
find nothing of the strangers where
abouts. He continued his search, and soon
found out that the stranger had developed
taste for riding, and had gone toward Lum-
Der City. To Lumber City Jim went, and
found that his man had gone on into TAFT
nall county. He went down there, and
again the hesing stranger had driven of.
Here all trace of him was lost and Mr..
Bales returned home, leaving description
| of the meu aud horse and the hope of re-
| ward TO the man who caught him. Nothing
as yet has been heard of this bold thief.
In the superior court at Atlanta Tuesday,
| s. B. Love, as the administrator of the
| estate of c. C. Green, deceased flied suit
against Joseph Kingsbery for IS $50 81. In
the suit Atr. Love alleges that as admins
TRAITOR Of the said estate he advertised and
sold at auction the bond for title to yslu-
able piece of property near Atlanta. Mr.
Kingsbery was the highest bidder at the
auction sale, and his bid was 100000. After
the sale Mr.. Kingsbery did not take the
bond for title and did not pay any money
on the property. The admins
trater therefore. re-advertised the
property and sold it at auction
again at Mr.. Kingsbery's risk. On the sec
ond sale J. c. Hendrix bought the property,
his bid being s14,1SO. The administrator
claims that under the law Mr. Kingsbery
| owes the estate tho difference between the
price he bid and the price Mr.. Hendrix bid,
which would be $500. together with the
cost OF re-aGvertising, etc., making his
total Indebtedness S5.S5 81. Mr.. Love
! further charges that Mr. Hendrix bid the
property in for Mr.. Kingsbery, and that the
first and second bids were both Mr.. Kings
bery's. OF course Mr.. Kingsbery will have
his side of the case when It comes up for
trial.
Augusta Herald: Augusta has genuine
curiosity. He Is a thorough biblical scholar
who can't read a line outside of his we'll
thumbed Testament Butln this he is as
glib as any professional reader and goes off
with alacrity at any passage designated
him. The singular part of the story is that
this gift is one of intuition. He was never
taught to read and does not even know the
alphabet, nor can he decipher a line OF
ordinary print; Even the daily papers are
as sealed book to him. Yet open his Bible
at any point and give it to him, he will read
correctly and with good infection and in>
tonation, and with a proper regard to
punctuation. He says, and he is
strictly honest in what he says,
at least he seems to utterly
believe it, that he was extremely anxious
to be able to read the word of God, that he
might be able to lead a life in accordance
with it's behests. That he asked this gift
and stipulated in his request that he would
not seek to dive into other and profaner
literature, and that be was rewarded after
serious prayer with the power which he
has. When asked why he had not gone
about it in the usual way of acquiring such
knowledge, that of night schools. etc., his
reply was that he feared man might not
teacn him to read correctly, that is rightly,
and he know that God wouldn't teach him
wrong. So he says he became possessed of
the power to read his Bible, which he Ger
tainly can do, and he may be seen at it any
day during the dinner hour at his place Of
occupation, Berrys mills.
