ALynchInr Comes to lrht.

Louisville. KY, Feb. 21.-A
special to the Courier Journal from
Birmingham, Ala, says.
A lynching, which occurred in
Cherokee county several days ago.
has just come to light. Two weeks
ago John Kellogg. a negro farm
laborer, attacked Miss Mary
Roberts, aged 15, while on her way
to school, near Blanche. She
screamed and fought so that her
assailant fed before accomplishing
his purpose. A posse searched for
Kellogg. with the avowed inten-
ton of lynching him, and at the
end of a week the search was
abandonded and it was supposed
that the negro had escaped.
Last night the family of Miss
Roberts received an anonymous
note, saying that the negro would
not trouble her further. Today a
body half devoured by buzzards
was found hanging in a swamp
near thel scene of the attempted
assault. 1t is supposed to be that
Of Kellogg. Indications are that
he was lynched a week or more
ago.

A BITE CHANGED NATURE
A RsttIesssks Inpsrts Its Nature to .
Georgia GIrI-Stranae Antics OF S
Girl IEFeeted BY Its Venom.

Rome, Ca, Feb. 21.-Miss
Carrie Ponder. % years of age,
of excellent family. died here
at IL o'clock this morning.
Her death was caused by the
bite of a rattlesnake, received
three years ago.
Surrounding her life since
the rattlesnake buried its deadly
fangs in her finger is the most
marvellous story of a dual exis-
tence ever recorded.
Three years ago Miss Ponder
was handsome girl living in
Walker county. Ga. at the foot
of the Coputta mountains. She
was in perfect health.
One day, while working
among flowers. Miss Ponder
felt a keen pain in the middle
finger of her left hand. and was
Mortified to hear the peculiar
hiss of a mountain rattler, the
most venomous of snakes.
The wound was cauterized
and stimulants were poured
down the girl until she was in
a state of stupefaction. Her
life was saved only to doom her
to years of intense suffering.
Her trouble assumed many of
the characteristics of tubercu-
losis. She lost her frank and
buoyant cordiality and became
crafty and sly.
One year ago she came here
to live with a brother and re-
ceive expert medical attention,
and sortly afterward was con-
fined to her bed. Then all the
characteristics of a serpent be-
came apparent in the girl.
Her mind was impaired to the
end, save when she was domi-
mated by that other terrible
self.
At such times her tongue
would shoot out, peculiar
kissing noise came from hel
throat and her eyes assumed
the beady. glittering appear,
ance of a serpent's. Then ev.
eryone feared to touch her.
One week ago the hands on q
clock on the mantel stopped al
exactly 1850 o'clock, though
the timepiece ticked on audibly,
Morning and night since then
at precisely 1850 the clocks
hands have stopped. Miss
Ponder died at 1880. This is
vouched for by people of un-
questioned integrity.

A Distressing Chronicle.

On any of the largo maps Of this county
will be - the name Dillingham;. marking
a point at Strawberry lake. Dillingham;
WAS the first actual settler on the Straw
berry chain coming about 1889 from Mer-
Ger county and located on the ranch site
now owned and occupied by Mrs. Doyle.
His family consisted of wife and two
little twin girls--the latter at the time of
their leaving the lake IN 1894 were about
eight or nine years old. They were alike
az two peas-and as shy of strangers as
wild deer. They had lived for years there
and for weeks and even months at time
never saw face except of their own four
selves. The children never knew what it
was to have a playmate and for years
never looked IN childish face other than
their own. Their parents unlettered and
no book occupied space in any niche or
corner of the mud dauped walls nor did
any newspaper find service except to
hide stains and toad stools from the
mouldy bark covered cottonwood logs Of
which their living shack was constructed.
On visit of the writer to that domicil in
the spring of 1893, the only "classic"
noted among their, effects was a very an
oient copy of some family ALMANAC.
A.ter disposlng of his 6ne ranch location
aud selling off his herds Dillingham; called
in the LEADER Office and gave the educa
tion OF his children as the impelling mo-
tive in disposing of his Strawberry lake
possessions ani change of residence.
The Dillinghams recrossed the river and
went up into their old neighborhood in
Mercer county, bat Il something unsavory
developing they took up their line of
march westward and landed in Wyoming
In that country they consider every new
conner william until his actions compel
some modification of pesimestic opinions
on their part, otherwise they watch the
actions Of people whose homes are on
wagon wheels, with a critical eye. After
some time in Wyoming, Dillingham; was
dragged up to the bar of Justice charged
with incest. Some Msrcer county aida.
vets read iu cour: proved cinchers and
Dillingham; got a psn,tentiary sentence of
zen years. After sentence the usual ques-
ton by the Judge: Have you any thing to
say Why seaseucs should not be passed
upon you" the prisoner answerad:
"NO--not much, when I get ont Of this,
will pay my respscts to my Mercer

The form of the new official
ballots about to be placed in

materially from those used at
the last election, inasmuch as
the cross or X mark this year
follows the candidates names,
where heretofore it has pre-
ceded them. AS the republican
and independent democratic
tickets occupy places side by
side upon the ballot, it will be
readily seen that an x mark
before D. NJ. Holmes name Ton

vote for Fancher, provided the
republican ticket occupied first
place on the ballot, as it no
