| I. Nj. Nelson, the grandson of the late Col.
/ Tiff. went to the pos-office. and in the list
OF letters there obtained got q letter for
! Della that bore a most unique address. The
envelope read as follows: Miss Della
Robinson, Care Colonel Nelson Tiff, Old
Bennia. Georgia. South America" The
lotter was mailed at Hull, England. and
was addressed in q clear, bold, readable
manner. Mr.. Nelson's solution OF the sub
1ect Is that some servant employed by q
northern person. who is travelling in
Europe. secured the services OF some white
person in England TO address a letter 20
Aunt Della" and in this way the unique
address originated.

Hawkinsville Dispatch: A hanging In
this county would have salutary effect In
checking the evil tendencies OF those indi-
vlduals who are disposed to take the law In
their own hands. This thing must be stopped.
1t is becoming entirely too frequent Il is
q parody on justice to arrest, indict and
convict person of assault and battery or
simple larceny while no effort is made TO
effect the capture of a murderer. To the
certain knowledge of the writer of these
lines there are three persons who have been
indicted for murder by the grand Jury of
Pulaski in the past three years who have new
or been arrested. One of the murdererslre-
ferred TO Is Wash Strong, who killed John
son Duncan in November, 1890. Il is even
stated that Wash Strong has had the au-
dacity to come here to Hawkinsvilla several
times since the killing. Another of these
persons, Dave Hendley, was arrested in
Kissimmee, Fla. aud the sheriff of Pulaski
county notified. The county commissioners
refused to pay the expenses of a man to 60

Judge David N. Roberts Of Eastman will
make the race for congress 10 the Eleventh
disdrot. now represented by Representa-
tive Turner. A special to the Atlanta
Journal says: HE does not thick that
Mr.. Turner has any more right to the place
than he has, for he says the district has in
10 only two counties that belong to his dis
trict, Lownedes and Brooks. Dodge Tel
fair, Montgomery, Irwiu and Coffee coun-
aies having beed cut off from Mr.. Crisps
district makes 1t open to all constants, and
SO is johnson county cut Off from Watson's
Camden, Charlton, Pierce, Ware, Clinch
and Echols cut of from Lester,s district
The judge is in for the nht, he says. but he
has considerable opposition from Mr..
Turner and Judge Spencer r. Atkinson,
both OF whom are gentlemen of recognized
ability and popularity. His opposition
does not end here, for there are two other
candidates who are fishing for votes with
the alliance. and they hope to catch the seat
In congress. One of them is DIR. Chappeli
OF Laurens, who was a member Of the last
House, and whose voice was raised there on
any and every occasion. He hopes to win
by the legislative record he has left behind
him. Mr.. Hulnphries of Brooks, another
member OF the last House who had some
explanations to make on one occasion, hopes
to be Mr.. Turner's SUCCESSOR. He is after
the alliance vote, and to catch it he has
bought new horse and buggy, aud has
named the horse Leonidas Llvington, but
he calls him Lightning Lonny' for short"
A tall, handsome woman, thickly veiled
arrived at Forsyth on the afternoon train
Thursday. She was met by no one at the
depot, but hurried away to the hotel, where
she registered under an assumed name. It
soon developed that she was an uniuvited
and unexpected guest at a prominent we'd
ding which was consummated here last
night. She remained at the hotel for only
few moments and then proceeded to the
store OF the groom expectant. Despite the
fact that she was heavily veiled the young
man recognized the approaching figure as
being that of an "old sweetheart
of his" and not wishing to
meet her at that time and under the exist
ing circumstances he disappeared through
the back door. On her arrival the clerk in-
formed her that the party whom she was in
search of was out Of the city. But she was
not to be deceived. She dramatically
strutted the floor vowing that she would see
him ct all hazards. Finding that 1t was
impossible TO calm her and fearing that she
might attract attention by her violence, the
clerk assured her that If the young man
could be found in the city be would be sent
TO her hotel Immediately. But bent on ac-
complishing her object. she with
out further hesitation, repaired 20
her former lovers home. On her arrival
there she was again informed that the
