on the Grand Jury.
TOWNSVILLE, Ga, Sept. 25.-It is a no.
torious fact that thousands of deeds have
been forged to lands in Georgia 1t is q
disgrace to the state that such crimes should
ever have been perpetrated, and a great
shame that they have never been punished.
Some of the difficulties in the case, how
ever, will be seen from the following
facts, which are but travesty
on justice. 1t will be recalled
chat some months ago a number of parties
were arrested ia Colquitt county for this
particular crime against the welfare of the
country and the rights Of others, and
brought to the Thomas county jail for safe
keeping. They were ultimately liberated
on bond. Now it trauspires that at the ses-
sion OF Colquitt county superior court, held
this week, and before whose grand jury
these cases should have come, there were
upon said grand jury, it is said. two Of the
parties under bond, and it is also stated in
drawing names for the next grand jury one
of those drawn was that of a man who is
connected with this forgery business. OF
course nothing was done in the matter.

night aBout7 o'clock several children of q
lady who lives on Cochran avenue, near
OaE Grove cemetery, were passing from
one house to another and were startled by q
carriage driving to the cemetery gate.
stopping and waiting until two men stepped
from it, entered the cemetery and returned
bearing what had every appearance to them
of being a chiids coffin. Jumping hur-
riedlv into the carriage they drove off, and
the children rushed in to inform their
mother. She was startled, and later heard
a carriage pass her door. Looking out
she saw vehicle answering
the description of the one seen by the
children, but owing to the darkness she
could not distinguish the features Of the
driver or occupants, il there were any. The
carriage turned toward the cemetery gate
but she was alone and could not follow TO
see if it stopped. To-day no traces of dis
turbed grave could be found. Last night
was oae for such crime. Heavy dark
clouds bid the sky and the shadows of i'm
