A Plain Statement of the Case.


From the Macon Telegraph.
A countryman in need of money hav-
ing heard that the Macon banks had
plenty OF it, presented himself at one of
them few days ago and asked for a
loan of 81 ,000 He said that he had
read in the papers that the Macon banks
had money to lend.
Certainly you can get what money
you want" replied the cashier, ''but we
want collateral"
The would-be-borrower offered his
note as collateral, but the cashier said
that something little more tangible
was necessary, and upon learning that
this was all the applicant had to offer,
refused the loan.
In despair the applicant turned his
back on the well filled Golfers of the
bank, exclaiming as he went out:
cts collateral that is scarce. The
want of collateral and not the scarcity of
money is what is causing hard times.''
The countryman's remark was full OF
meat.

A Fortified Body.

A great many people have read of pet
rified bodies in far off lands, but one
near home becomes more interesting.
Two years ago Mr. Jim Whitehead, the
son-in-law of Mr.. Wiley Deas, we'll known
in this county, was buried out at Spring
Hill, near the old Bethesda church, in
Richmond county. After the burial the
affairs of the young man took the ordi-
nary course of such affairs, and the for
mer actions of the deceased himself were
rapidly becoming nothing but memories.
A few days ago, however, Mr.. Deas de-
cided to have all of his relatives inferred
in the old home burial grounds, and ac-
cordingly gave orders for the removal of
young Whitehead's remains. The work
of unearthing the coffin was soon affect
ed and the glass front being broken, a
peep at the features was taken. They
appeared as undisturbed as when death
first came. No ravages of decay could
be traced. To the touch they were hard
and cold. Further examination proved
that the whole body was as solid as a
stone, in fact, had become completely
petrifed. The coffin and clothing were
in slight manner damaged by decay,
but not the least sign appeared upon the
corpse.
