this vicinity. They spent at least 50 90
each, which makes the neat sum of 800. 90
contributed by our people. They were

OF course other portions of our county
near the river, Smyrna, Austell, Roswell,
Powder Springs and Acworth all had dele
cations, thus probably 500 people from
this county went to Atlanta on circus day.
At an expenditure Of $500 each, this
would make 100000. Now when it is

In Pickens Superior Court week or so
ago, Bud Buchanan, a young man, was
tried on the charge of murder having re-
sisted an attack made on him by his father
with knife cut on the arm, which a few
weeks after resulted in blood poisoning and
death. In court Hon. R. N. Holland, OF
Marietta. and Hon. s. C. Tate of Jasper,
defended the young man The jury bfought
in verdict Of stabbing The penalty
under the law is fixed at no more than
twelve months, and Judge Gober gave him
the full penalty of a sentence of twelve
months. Yet the Dahlonega Nugget
thinks that Judge Gober gave him too
light sentence, and that it was "travesty
on justice" thus displaying its ignorance
of that which it complains about. 1t seems
that prejudice and malice against Judge
Gober takes every form of misrepresenta>
ton imaginable. The jury reduced the
crime to stabbing, and the law made it
imperative Cd Judge Gober to sentence
him for stabbing. He could not have done
otherwise.
