like lightning. He leveled his rife and
cut down on il, but never touched a
hair. He Jumped il again and shot
again, but no hog. Again and again he
jumped IL and shot at IL. with the same
results. He began to wonder what could
be the matter The corn rows were as
straight as moOnshine whisky and his
gun as true as the third party TO Tom
Watson, yet hit it he couldn't. To shoot
at the hog as IL ran OF down the corn
rows was just like shooting al II stand

A special from Bone to the Atlanta
Constitution says: S'One of the most re-
markable cases that has ever come up in
Floyd superior court, has been ended. The
case is that Of John Smith VS.. Hartshorn.
The jury was ought all night and brought
in a verdict OF 500 personal damages In
suit for 5000. Three years ago HartShorn
had John Smith arrested for stealing SIX
poplar logs and on trial before justice
Of the peace the case was dismissed. Smith
then sued before jury in justice court
for possession of the logs and the jury
awarded them to him. Hartshorn then
went before the grand jury and indicted
Smith for petty larceny, charging MIN
with having stolen the logs. Smith was
tried and convicted in the city court, and
the case was then taken to the supreme
court which reversed the decision, hold
ing that there was no evidence TO sustain
the charge. Smith then fled a suit for
5000 damages against Hartshorn Tor IN
1uries to his character, ana In the mean
time Hartshorn having become the de-
PENDANT sold out and went back to New
Jersey The plaintiff in this case was rep
resented by Judge Meyerhardt VINO called
the attention of the court to the fact that
the defendants client was Col Halsted
Smith, and the principal witness IN the
case was Sam Smith, and that his client,
John Smith, was a lineal descendant Of
the picturesque Virginian of that name
and he hoped his honor would not get
them confused. The verdict of 800 does
not suit the defendants counsel, and 1t
Is probable that the case will again be
taken back to the supreme court those
poplar logs having cost the county several
thousand dollars
