a GEORGIA VENDETTA.
Ben Jordan's Bloody Deeds In Fannin
County.

Ben Jordan's Bloody Deeds In Fannin
County.
When the tocsin of war first sounded
Ben Jordan responded speedily. Or
ganizing company at once he hast
ened to the scene of the conflict. In
the battles throughout Virginia there
were no drawer spirits than Ben Jor-
dams men. Several times he fell
wounded, fighting in the thick of the
fray. His many deeds of reckless dar-
ing won the admiration of all the Off
GERS and his unshrinking valor en-
deared MIN TO the hearts of the men.
One day shortly after the battle of
Gettysburg he received a letter notify
ing him of his mothers death and tell
ing how his home had been burned.
Jordan Immediately made application
for leave of absence. This, hoy5ev-
er. could not be obtained, as the order
revoking all leaves of absence and re-
fusing thereafter all furloughs had Just
before been issued. Then, according
to the tale told by an old Fannin coun-
ty citizen, Jordan, with his character
istic boldness, went before Gen. Long
street
He explained to the general how he
had heard of the death of his mother
and the burning of his home and
asked leave of absence. Longstreet
replied that he sympathized with him,
but the orders must be obeyed no mat
ter what the circumstances were, and
he was forced to refuse the request.
Jordan bowed and left the tent The
next morning he was missing. Some
time after he turned up near his old
home, in Fannin county, to find things
even worse than reported, Nothing
remained except the land upon which
the ruins Of his ancestral mansion were
standing
Driven to desperation, he swore re-
venge From his sister he got the
names of the twenty-five men, who, it
was said, sympathizing with the union
side after seeing the inevitable result
Of the war, began to commit deeds of
violence in their ueighborhood 1t
was this gang which burned Jordans
house. lie did not return to Virginia.
When the surrender was made and
peace declared all of his old compan-
ions came home. To several of them
he related his tale. They swore to
stand by him, and the vendetta was
formed. Upon a Bible each took
solemn oath to kin all of the men
whose names were on the list.
How well they succeeded any of the
old people up in Fannin can tell you.
As each man was killed Jordan would
check his name off the list. In some
mysterious way the vendetta was di-
vulged. Jordan disappeared, and since
then has never been heard from.-At-
lanta Constitution.

Jewellers Remarkable Drilling.

T.. A. Williams, New York watch
maker, recently accomplished re-
markable mechanical feat-that of
drilling a hole through the entire
length of a common pin, from head to
point, the opening being just large
enough to admit Of the passage of a
fine hair. Mr.. Williams is the mechanic
who two years ago eut a sewing needle
in two lengthwise and then drilled
holes and fastened it together SO nicely
that the split could not be seen with
the naked eve.

woman Nearly Buried Allre.

Mrs. Herman Schneider, middle
aged. apparently died at Appleton.
The body was laid out and prepare
tions made for the funeral, when
some friends. noting the body in the
coffin had not become rigid, decided to
apply tests as to whether the woman
was really dead. Ammonia was held
to her nostrils and she revived. She
had since been in semi-uncoDscious
condition, but seemed TO be gaining
strength, and hopes were entertained
of her recovery.

snnerera from FIrn.

Maj William Mahoney, assistant
quartermastcr general. has returned
to Milwaukee from his trip through
the fre-swept district in the northern
part of the state and says the reports
of the restitution and suffering have
not been exaggerated. 1t is estimated
there are in all 5000 people outside of
Phillips who need help. The greatest
need at present is feed for horses and
cattle. There is not blade of grass
or a green twig in the burned coun-
try, and in many cases farmers who
saved their homes lost their hay and
grain stacks and woodpiles.

shots falling about him. Members Of
the staff remarked that the place was

he move to a less conspicuous position,
but he seemed to pay no attention to
the advice given. After he had An

view of the enemy's works, he quietly
mounted his horse and rode slowly to
