Set Up in business on HIS winning.
Alex w. Bealer, in Atlanta Journal.

Alex w. Bealer, IN Atlanta journal.
One of the most prosperous men living
In the suburbs of Albany Ga, was a few
years ago a worthless sot. To-day he is
worth about $4,000 and he owes it all to
his wife
For a number of years the man was a
constant frequenter of the gaming table
He had little money but he had a mania
for gambling and rislxed all he had in the
Jack pot" Before the games ended he
was generally well loaded with liquor and
although he did not know it he nearly al
ways left the table a winner For ten
years or more he kept up this life and
then, suddenly he concluded to reform.
He announced that he had stopped drink
ing for good and was going into business.
His sole capital consisted of a small pony.
He went to a prominent citizen and asked
him to sell him enough land on credit
to build a store upon The gentleman
laughed at him, but finally sold him the
land. The man who wanted to reform
traded his pony for lumber and by him
self started to build a little store house.
He worked steadily for several weeks,
keeping "as sober as a Judge" but he
worried considerably as 10 where he would
get money TO buy a stock OF goods.
His wife watched him with good deal
of interest. and when she saw that he was
I'm earnest in his efforts TO reform. she
went TO him and placed 5000 in cash in
his hands. He was astonlshed, and Of
course wanted to know where it had come
from.
Then the good wife told him she would
watch him when he came home drunk,
and would search his pockets. She always
found money, then she removed the big
gest portion of It. During his career as
a drunkard and gambler she had gotten
something like 5000, most OF which she
had saved.
beginning on this money the husband
opened his store, and by close attention
60 business he has within the last seven
or eight years, accumulated property
worth not less than $4,000.

all freight traffic. This change had been
talked of among the officials for some
time, but had not been fully decided upon
till a few days ago.. The site of the Union

of the old b. and w. depot.

TO the gallows or the penitentlary. l know
of one man who is serving a life sentence
ia the penitentiary. sent there by a Dor
ton OF cork scented with the fumes of
corn liquor.
A man named Campbell was killed in
one of the counties near Middle Georgia
ABOUT Two months ago. He was a farmer
and his dead body with q bullet hole in
1t was found in a field. Not far awav on
the side of ditch was the print of the
murderer's shoe and on tuft OF grass
could be seen the imprint of his knee
where he had steadied himself TO fire the
fatal shot.
Those who found the dead body discov-
cred these signs left/by the murderer. and
in examining the surroundings one of
them found near the crushed tuft OF grass
about two-thirds OF a crok. soaked with
corn whisky. The man put Il In his pocket
TO await further developments. Suspic-
ion was directed TO the dead mans brother
and he was sought for in the town. AS
the men came up to him he was I'm the
act of taking a drink OF whisky from a
small bottle. When informed that his
brother had been murdered he turned pale
his hand shook, his fingers released their
hold upon the bottle. II fell to the ground
and was shattered. while the odor OF corn
whisky fioated OF upon the air.
The man who had found the cork in
the ground picked up and pocketed the
neck of the bottle In which was portion
Of a cork. He went off by himself ana
tried the cork In his pocket to the bottle
neck. 1t ftted the portion OF a cork there
exactly and the two together made the
complete cork.
When the man was tried before Judge
John Hart this was the strongest link in
the chain Of circumstantial evidence that
sent him to the pen" for life.
