Alexander H. Stephens, that greatest
Of GeOrgia's great men, left on record in
his diary the following: son the 9Th day
Of February, 1S35,-that coolest of days
the thermometer fell to ten degrees
below zer :"
'Cold Saturday was the dav before,
and old people yet lire who tell of its
severity. Many people froze to death on
that day and during the night following.
John Matthews, then a resident of Ran
dolph, but now living IN Thomas county,
SAID that he drove the gin for Mr.. James
Oliver, who lived eight miles east of
Cuthbert and about three miles from the
present town Of Shellman, and that he
was so cold that he had on three coats
and blanket, despite which he thought
he would freeze to death.
We learn the above from Mr.. T. A.
McWilliams, of this county who also AIDES
that the mummitied woman recently eX-
hibited in Dawson died on February,
7tb,l1635. 1t is be ieved Tat the womal

urday'' and was buried in the suburbs
Of Tuskeegee, Alabama. Her mummiti.
cation may have been in some way caus,
ed by the manner of her death.

on himself: Last week he was met by a
''culled individle' who said:
"Jedge, want your revice. My wife

man. Shall get shot gun and pepper
him?'
The judge replied: "No, old man, 90

"All right, Jedge," said the old darkey

Did the judge take the fee? Well, that's
