OLD NEGRO ALMOST FROZEN.
Taken to the Jail and Thawed Out.
Case of Meningitis.

Triton, Ga, Feb. 13..-For several years
a harmless old negro man has been living
in Triton, eking out an existence by doing
odd jobs, and depending for the rest on
the charity of the white people. While
large of frame and strong of muscle, he
is a complete imbecile, and imagines he
is the creator and ruler of the universe,
and that everything thereon belongs to
him. He has been the butt of many prac-
teal jokes, and furnished many years of
fun for thoughtless boys.
About O'Clock Monday afternoon this
old man was found in an old house near
the business part of town, partly frozen,
and In a helpless stupor. He was covered
with a few old sacks, and his limbs from
his knees down were frozen stiff. He was
carried to the city jail, where a warm fire
was built, he began TO regain conscious
ness, and is now apparently on the road
to recovery. Steps will be taken to have
him carried to bhe county poor farm.
No small alarm was felt last Friday
when it was reported that a genuine
case of meningitis had developed in town.
The party afflicted was a negro by the
name of George Wilson, in lifts quarters,
and the attack was a violent one from the
hrSt- Inc negro died in great agony
Sunday evening. Before his death he was
visited by several leading physicians and
the disease pronounced meningitis beyond
a doubt. Despite fears, however no more
cases have developed, even among the
negroes

Mrs. H. S. Murray, wife of the city
clerk, had a narrow escape from death by
fire Sunday. While standing near blaz-
ing CRATE her skirts burst into flames
burning her dress to the waist. Fortunate

assistance, extinguishing the fire, but Sc
verely burning one of his hands. Mrs
Murray sustained few slight burns bout
the hands, but none were serious.
