Early Morning Adventure of Jones Coun-
ty Citizen.
From the Jones County News.
Nearly every night last week coop of
chickens belonging to j. W. Turk & Co,
would begin to squall about four or five
o'clock in the morning, and each morn
ing at feeding time chicken was found
dead in the coop, with its head and a
part of it's body eaten off. So on Sun
day morning when the squalling began,
Mr.. Turk donned himself hurriedly in a
scanty supply of wardrobe, cold as it
was, and hustled to the coop by the
beautiful moonlight, just in time TO hear
the varmint scramble out of the coop on
the opposite side from him. He remain
ed where he was, almost freezing, for a
little while and saw pretty little striped,
bushy tail, sweet-scented animal poke it's
head from under his store. Mr.. Turk,
after having his olfactory organ knocked
out of joint by the ancient as well IS
modern perfume, broke for his gun. On
his return, as he peeped cautiously
around the corner of the st re, he saw
the dainty little animal making his WY
to the coop again. Bang! went the CUR,
down came the little beauty, the scent OF
which has since been used as a hatrack.
A certain young la iy want I'd to know of
Mr. Tu k if that cranivorous animal left
his eari. yes" said he, "tbe thing

HINKLE ACQUITTED.
THE VERDICT SEEMS TO GIVE GEN
ERAL SATISFACTION.
Friends Carried Him ON Their
Shoulders.

Sheriff Christie went up to Americus
Friday to carry Dick Weldon to the
Sumter county jail.
He returned on the 3 o'clock Central
train, ard reported that at 9;30 that
morning the jury in the Hinkle case,
after having beer out since 6 O'Clock the
evening before, brought in verdict
of not guilty.
While defendants counsel confidently
expected an acquittal, predictions. OF a
mistrial were frequently made. Court
was not in session when the jury called
the sheriff and announced that they had
agreed.
Judge Fish was hastily sent for and
an expectant throng rushed into the
court room to hear the verdict. Albert
Hinkle was brought from Jail, but thel @
was no time for his faithful wife and
mother to arrive. And only his two
younger brothevs and Judge Twiggs and
Col. Blalock of his counsel we're with
him. Judge Fish, knowing the great ex-
element warned the crowd that he
would punish any demonstration, and
then the jury was brought in. The
solicitor general received and read the
verdict:
1--WE, the jury, find the defendant, A.
B. Hinkle, not guilty"
Then the Gro wd broke over all re-
ssraint, yelled, cried and Rugged Albert
Hinkle and each other and carried him
out on their shoulders. Judge Fish
raped for order and commanded the
sheriff to arrest the crowd, but he was
powerless. Hinkle was borne home by
his friends where most touching scene
was witness, The meeting with his wife,
child and mother. Friends and neigh
bors came in to offer congratulations
and general levee was held for hours.
The jury stood IL to for acquittal on
the first ballot, and after an all night
argument the twelfth man came over
at 9o'clock next morning and agreed
to acquittal. Many people crowded
around the jury after their discharge and
congratulated them upon their verdict.
Mr.. w. \. Hogue, former citizen of
Dawson, was one of the jurors.

HAUNTED BY CHICKENS. +,
Another Story About the Chicken Pie
Hotel at SmithYille.


The New York Times has got hold of
the following story about the "chicken
pie hotel at Smithville, which is known
far and wide:
Imagine being haunted your whole
life through by Chickens" said the
travelling man, setting down his glass,
"and by chicken pie at that. OF having
it thrust before you by an unalterable
decree, day in and day out, year after
year, until mournful troops of murdered
feathered bipeds pass in ghostly review
before your eyes in sleep and bobgob.in
chicken pies perform weird nocturnal
dances on yonr abdomen. Talk about
eating quail every day for steady
diet, l tell you these are gasUronomic
luXuries compared to chicken pie every
day. Yet there was man down at
Smithville, Ca, who was mean enough
to take this diabolical revenge on his
widow. He kept the railroad eating
house there, and when he died he left
it to his wild with the conditions in
his will of-chicken pie! She was to
have chicken pie at least once day, or
not to have the hotel. And she, poor
woman, having no other means of liveli-
hood, still struggles along, conscien-
tously confronting chicken pie every
day. Her only consolation is that the
guests of the lhouse also have to stand
chicken pie. No one knows what actu-
ated the man to put chicken pie into his
will-but how he must have hated that

Children who Suffer

from scrofula, skin or scalp diseases,
ought to be given DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, for purifying the
blood. For children who are puny, pale
or Iweak, the "Discovery' is tonic
which builds up both flesh and strength.
What is said of it for children applies
equally to adults. AS an appetizing,
restorative tonic, it sets at work all the
processes of digestion and nutrition,
rouses every organ into natural action,
and brings back health. In recovering
from grippe" or in convalescence from
pneumonia, fevers, and other wasting
diseases, it speedily and surely inWgor~
ates and builds up the whole system.0
For all diseases caused by torpid
liver or impure blood, as Dyspepsia and
Biliousness, if it doesn't cure in every
case, the money is returned.

nosocu+ion asked for time for consul
t,non with the witnesses for the state.
In q few minutes they returned to the
,onrt room and Judge Query announced
that the prosecution was satls1ed that
no prisoner was not julie Spikes, but
+bot he was Richard Weldon, He asked,
however, that Weldon be held until the
Grand Jury could indict him for murder,
80 +harA was evidence that he was tho
one who did the killing.
hill of indictment was returned DUR
mo the day, and when the case was
agaip called the state announced ready.
WeIdon's attorneys, Colonels Edwards,
Hart and Marlin, asked for a continu-
aocg. stating that the new turn given the
case necessitated an entirely different
line of defense than that they had
already prepared. The continuance was
granted, and it will be next May before
the case is disposed of.
It is reported now that The state has
evidence to prove that Weldon at one
time admitted being on the excursion
train the night Mr.. Buff was killed. 1t
is also said that prominent citizens OF
Parrott who examined the negro just after
he had been arrested by Mr.. Huff are
very strongly of the opinion that Weldon
is the man.
The lawyers for the defense say that
\ they will have no trouble in proving that
) Weldon was working for coal company
4 in Alabama at the time of the crime, and
: that Jules Spikes is the negro who did
n the murder.

was not tried. Johnson's mind is said
to be unsound, and the state agreed to
let the case go over. 1t is understood
that Johnson will be tried before Ordina-

to the asylum.
