WEE FANNIE

Wee Fannie. bless her little heart,
cannot help but take her part.
When romping through the halls:
Up. down the stairs she runneth wild.
This sweet. angelic baby child.
Fast clinging to her dolls.
What mem'ries doth her laughter bring.
When through the house / hear 1t ring,
In fond. ecstatfc glee;
Old, scenes arise before mine eyes
OF children up beyond the skies.
Who're calling after me.
I gaze upon her broken toys.
Which tell me Of true childish joys,
The joys of baby years:
And while into the past drift,
The ills and aches Of life sift
From out q vale of tears.
Such purity from children roll
Into every hardened soul
That lacks the gem of grace:
Their voice. their smile. their very tear,
Can drive away the dread Of fear.
Depicting Christ's own face.
Play on. my child. in rapture play.
And may your life be one glad day
OF endless bliss and peace:
And after evening shadows fall,
When quietness reigns throughout each
hall,
May Joy your sleep increase.

and wounded. They find a golden collar

ABE SMALL HANGS TO-DAY.
Gov. Gambler Declined to Commute
the Death Sentence.

Abe Small will be hanged in the Chat
ham county Jail to-day for the murder of
Policeman Neye four years ago. The
hour for the execution has not been def
nitely set, but it is probable it VIII take
place about Il O'Clock The wishes Of the
condemned man as to the time are gener-
ally consulted and compiled with where
convenient
A telegram received by smalrs attor-
neys. Messrs. George a. Mercer and 7. p.
Ravenel, from Atlanta yesterday,
settles the plea made in his
behalf to Gov. Gambler for a com
mutation of sentence TO life imprisonment.
The message was ia reply 10 one Of inquiry
as to the disposition the Governor had made
of the petition II stated that the Cover
nor is in New York at present but that
he had declined 10 interfere with the SEN
tenCe of the court.
In many respects Smalls case is peculiar
to any that has ever been on the criminal
dockets of the county. a more thorough
sitting of the testimony could not have
been had, and the conclusion which has
been finally reached is the result Of study
given the case by the most competent
judges of testimony The guilt of the
accused has been established by
1uFleS OF the superior Court, ana mas bttll
affirmed by the Supreme Court and by the
Governor. Fearing that there might
have been error or that there were cir
cumstanees which might justify him in
committing the sentence, Gov. Gambler re-
viewed the case closely, but did not see
his way clear TO intercede.
Sheriff Roman has been ill for
few days, and it is not
certain he will be able to attend personally
TO the details of the execution. He has
trusted deputies to whom he can delegate
this duty however, and who generally
have something TO do with these affairs
whether the sheriff is present or not.
There are no preparations to make at
the jail, other than those which the DOOM
ed man may require The closed cell
used for this purpose is at the south end
of the second floor, and is connected with
the cell on the floor below. which makes
the place about twenty feet high. The
doomed man enters from the second floor,
and after the drop, is taken out dead from
the floor below
The colOred minister's who have taken
deep interest in Small's case will be at the
Jail this morning and will probably remain
with him until the end. They will be Civ
en- the opportunity to hold services with
the prisoner until the hour set for the eX
ecution.
Small has made a stout denial of GER
tain things connected with the case, and
while he may make a confession, this is
not probable in view Of his reticence all
along.
