Down the long path of light
Beginning far away in His sight,
Came the dear little feet,

And they caught, mother dear,
Some of the glow thy heart to cheer;
Angel kisses enraptured
In the dimples are captured.

LIFE IMPRISONMENT.
ESCAPE OF WIFE OF MURDERED
MAN FROM JAIL.
(By Telegraph to virginian-Pilot.)

Wrightsville, Ga. Sept. Cherry
Walden, young white man. was this
morning convicted OF the murder of
George Dixon and sentenced to life i'm
prisonment. Mrs. Dixon, wife of the
deceased and friend of Walden who
was to have been put on trial to-day
as q principal in the same crime, made
sensational escape from custody be-
tween midnight and daylight this
morning. She was in the personal
charge of Sheriff Rowland. who lock-
ed her in Il room on the top floor of
the court house. There was only one
key to the door of the room and that
key was in the sheriff's pocket. Upon
locking her in. shortly before midnight
the sheriff sat down in chair in
front of the door. He fell asleep. ac-
cording to his story. and when he
awakened the woman was gone: hut
the key was still in his pocket. Vs6hh
the matter was reported to the court
the judge ordered the grand jury to
make rigid investigation of the es-
cape. A man named Hilson. brother
in-law of Mrs. Dixon. is known to
have been about the top floor of the
courthouse during the night.
Mrs. Dixon was captured at the
home of her brother-in-law and return
ed to jail. Her trial will come up to-
morrow.

the enemies of public executions as an
argument against their morality. There
