4 Pretty Good Lie itself.

From Troops Ferry, about 25 miles
from Adrian, Ga, comes the lurid
story about the punishment that has
oyertaken a blasphemer. Several ne
gro>turpcntinc workers were playing
cards near the ferry. One negro had
81 at the beginning Of the game, but
lost steadily nutil at last he had left
only 81. Holding this high above
his head he swore that if he lost it
he would curse God. in the next
deal he lost it. and in consequence
he executed his oath.
No sooner had he done SO than he
was heard to scream and his compan-
ions On looking at him saw that sui
phurous flames poured from his eyes,
ears and nose.
Terribly frightened. they at first
ran away, but soon returned and en-
deavorcd to relieve his suffcringi
Water poured upon him was without
avail. a blanket was brought for
ward and they attempted to wrap
him in it, in order to cxtin9uish the
flames, but the Wotld-be rcscucrs
were kept away by some mysterious
power. a bout four feet was as near
an approach as could be made to the
unfortunate victim,
Then, thinking the log on which
he sat was in some way responsible
for the prcdicamcnt, lthcy began to
saw it Off near the point where he
sat. The first ucision of the saw
caused blood to drip from it and to
fall with the saWdust to the ground.
An ak was next sent for, but it's use
revealed the fact that in every part
the log was filled with veins OF blood.
Then they threw Il moose Of rope
over the negro's body and tried to
pull him from his position. Accord
ing to reports they might as well
have attempted to drag IL star from
the sky. The rope in consequence Of
it's contact with the body Of the vic
tim rendered as naught the great
strength Of those who would save
him.
There he sits, rumor says, cunsum-
ing. yet with no probability Of ever
being utterly consumed-dying al
ways, yet not dead living in and
breathing the fires Of hell, crying for
water, which poured upon him caus-
cs him to scream as mortal was never
heard to Shrek before.
It is said that people flock to sec
him; but, appalled, by the sight, turn
and fee, some with a terror that is
piteous to witness. The children Of
Adrian are terror stricken by the ru-
NOR and speak Of it in whispers of
horror. Night is no more welcomed,
and sleep with them has only the
meaning Of Plutonian dream.
