HEARTLESS AND CRUEL.
A Little Infant Abandoned---Left
at the Oxford Orphan Asylum
by Unknown Persons,

A little infant three or four weeks
old was found in the hall of the Oxford
Orphan Asylum early Sunday morning.
1t was left there by two unknown
persons who drove over from Hender-
son between the arrival of the South
bound Atlanta Special and its return
going North. They were seen to get
Off the cars with the little one and
procure carriage. and the driver said
he carried them to the Asylum and they
LETT the baby and returned to Hender-
son and took the North bound fast
train.
The little thing was given something
to make it sleep and is yet under its
influence. Oxford is much excited
over the matter, and the little being
has had many to see it, and not few
of these noble women have asked that
they might have it.
The above is an Oxford special to
the NeWs- Observer Chronicle. We have
learned the following facts in connec-
ton with the case: The fast train
was signaled to stop a short distance
this side of Littleton about - o'clock
Saturday night. A man and woman
got aboard. They got off at Hender-
son. where a carriage was in waiting
for them. the conveyance having been
previously engaged of Hardee & Mars
ton. The couple were driven to
Oxford. They were noticed to be
carrying several bundles, but the
presence Of baby was not known to
the driver until a short time before
they reached their destination. The
driver was ordered to stop just below
the Orphanage. The man and woman
got out and after being gone short
while returned, entered the carriage
and came back to Henderson. They
took the Atlanta Special bound North,
but where they got off we have not
been able to learn. Who the persons
were is not known. The affair carries
it's own comment.

rillas but if you are not careful in your

Personal.

The Atlanta Constitution of Sunday
has half Il page of sketches and car
toons of popular young business men
Of that city, and among the number
we notice the handsome face of our
genial friend Mr.. Isham Daniel, Il
Granville county boy and brother Of
Mr.. A. e. Daniel, of Henderson. He
is represented as sitting in a large
rocking chair with both feet drawn up
under him, tailor fashion, with his
arms partially uplifted as if engaged in
an animated discussion on the subject
of matrimony or some other moment
Gus question. While the likeness is
a fairly good one, the reporter-artist
was thoughtful enough to label it as
follows: "Isham Daniel, whose friend
ship when once given, is not washed
away by bad weather. Accompanying
the picture is the following brief sketch ::
Isham Daniel is genial as ray of
sunshine bursting through sky that
has been gloomy for a week-that is
when the parent of all ills-dyspepsia
hasn't been cutting shines with his
digestive organs. Isham is as popular
as Towering magnolia tree is in a
Sahara of pines. If his real DISPOSE
ton was not known to be SO kindly in
every impulse his sarcams and irony
would arouse bitter personal animosity.
Like all brave men. he's a favorite
with both sexes and has heart all
gold. AS conversationalist he is
never at his best unless he is in rock
ing chair large enough to accommodate
both Of his legs, which he insists upon
crossing under his body.
