crossing and the railroad shanties.
Brownlee had formerly lived at Mr.. 7.
A. Baidwin's, at Kennesaw, but had
been in South Carolina for the past
fourteen months. He had written to
his father at Big Shanty that he would
return home, and the presumption is
he was walking home on the fatal
night. The engineer of the train says
he remembered when the engine struck
some obstacle on the track and so
reported. The switch engine went
down and brought the body to Mariet-
ia depot, where coroner M. r. Lyon
held an inquest. A broken bottle was
found at the place where he was killed
and it is supposed he must have been
under the influence of whisky. One
more unfortunate gone to his grave.
DIR. Nolan performed a post mortem
examination and no evidence of foul
play was discovered.

The editor of the Gibson (Ga.) Ban
ner makes the following pathetic appeal
for ''copy" in a recent issue of his jour
nal. 1--WE want the news. If your
wife whips you, let us know it, and we
will put you right before the world. If
you have company tell us-if you are
not ashamed of your visitor. If you
have party or gathering of any kind,
bring around the cake; seven or eight
pies and side of ham, not necessarily
to eat, but just to show your apprecia-
ton and friendship. You needn't
mind inviting us, as it may be too cool
for our wardrobe. We want the news
that's ALL"
Call and see what we have left in
Winter Goods, and if we have what
you want you can buy it at such great
bargain you will go home, look up
your friends and send them to Read &
DuPre's store to get bargains as you
did.
