We clip the following from the
Atlanta Constitution which shows
that Bro McCrary has the endorsement
OF the ministers in his Oh nome as we'll
as that Of the majority OF our people
here:
There was meeting OF the Evan
gelicai Ministers Association In the
basement Of the First Methodist
church yesterday morning.
u was the regular monthly meeting
of the association, and greater part
Of the time was occupied in routine
work.
A motion was introduced and carried
endorsing Rev.J.W. McCrary, formerly
a resident OF this city, but now living
in Indian Territory, for the position
Of Indian agent, under the new admin
istration.
The Office is one OF very great impor-
tance and affords an excellent oppor-
tunity for Christian work. Mr.. Nc
Crary is a competent and worthy gem
tleman, and his enforcement at the
hands of the Atlanta ministers, his
former co-laborers, will, no doubt, in
sure for him the appointment he de.

WHO IS sHEg
An Insane Woman Found Wandering in
the Cemetery.

An Insane Woman Found Wandering in
the Cemetery.
A woman about 45 years of age was
found yesterday morning wandering
about the cemetery grounds in a de-
mented condition. The sexton gave no.
tice to the county officials and she was
brought to the county jail. She ap-
peared to be very unwell, both mentally
and physically, and could give no intelli-
gible account of herself. On her person
was found a purse containing 81 in silver
coin, a note for $50, dated December 3,
1888, payable six months after date to
Thomas Fawden and signed by Mrs.
Mary Thomas, per D. j. Thomas; also a
school class book IN the German Ian
guage, prayer book and another book
marked with the name of Carolina La
vona, also scrap of paper on which was
written the name Amelia Hornyak, born
May II, 1856; died July 15, 1892; born al
Schmeozbanya City, Hornter comitat,
Urigon Europa.
AS far as could be elected from her dis
jolnted talk she had been camping oul
and sleeping on the ground for three OF
four days. She has something of the ap-
pearance and accent OF an Italian. If she
has any friends or relatives they should
apply at the county Jail and see that she
is properly taken care of.
