At the conclusion Of the game
Lake City had been to the bat 8

Workman had given them one

TIED To POLE IN STREET.
Prisoners Held Public Levee With Friends
Who Stopped to Converse.

In Dalton last week David Kittles, a
horseswapper, was up in the mayors
court. He had been drunk. and while
drunk inflicted upon his wife severe
beating. He was charged, technically,
with wife beating.
The mayor was shocked beyond
measure at such fragrant violation of
the marriage VOWS and the civil code,
and imposed heavy fine upon the Of
fender.
He refused to pay.
The mayor was dGmiounded. He or
dered the offender, in default. to aid
in beautifying the streets of the city.
Again he refused.
He was ordered chained to tele-
graph pole on Main street.
Here the wife beaten was given fit
ting reward for two days in the sun and
left to slumber under The canopy of the
h eavens TIL the dew of early morning
wake1 him from his slumbers.
He remained two days chained to the
post. Then the wife sold the family
COW and secured his release from bond
age.
On last Sunday an ugly riot took
place on the outskirts of north Dalton.
Several of the malefactors were arrest
ed and the mayor added 800 to the
city's Golfers, but John Staten refused
either to work or pay his fine and said
that he rather preferred being con-
nected with the telegraph pole. His
wish was heartily granted.
The men say that they like sitting
in the shade cast by the telegraph pole
and holding sweet converse with their
friends. In fact, they hold levee
each afternoon to which all their
friends come and give them the glad
hand.
The prisoners say that they are
much cooler sitting out in the sun
where they can meet and talk with all
their passing friends than they could
possibly be in the small, hot jail
An official thermometer registered
only 90 degrees in the vicinity OF the
prisoners.

BOY FELL IN AN OLD WELL
But a Big MoCcasin Made Him
"Get Move On"

Willie Bladen, whose father, Will
liam Bladen, is a daiIyman lives
one mile from Waycross fell into a
we'll forty feet deep and came near
losing his life. 1t seems that Will,
who is u years cid, and Charlie Hart,
10, were sent out to the field to work.
A bout 10 o'clock they went to an old
we'll to get some water. While draw
ing it Will lost his balance and fell in
head foremost. Charlie, seeing his
companion disappear down the shaft,
did not loose his head, but began to
let the bucket down as fast as he
could, hoping that his friend might
grab the rope. But on striking water
Will went under. and, according to
Charles. never reappeared for some
minutes. 1t is possible he would not
have have risen but for the fact that
an old battling block had at some
time had fallen into the we'll and upon
which he had fallen. 1t went down
beneath his weight, but when the
force of the fall was spent it bouyed
his half-dead body again to the sur
face.
Will was too much hurt to stir until
he espied a huge moccasin in close
proximity to him. and the stimulus
was enough to start him yelling for
the bucket to be FASTENED down 20 his
rescue. His friend soon got it to him
and he lost no time in swinging into
the bucket and Charles cautiously
drew him to the outer world once
more.
The boy was carried home in badly
bruised condition, and is suffering
with fever from bis experience.

KEEPS CATS FOR FUN.
Miss Sarah Hathaway'S Fine
Home in Milwaukee Is Refuge
for FelineS.

There is just such cats home in
Milwaukee where the inmates live like
feline kings and queens Miss Sarah
Hathaway is the kind friend of these
cats, which number about ninety, and
for several years she has rented the
| first floor OF the house at 552 Jefferson
street as the home for her pets. They
are perhaps the most fortunate felines
| In the county, and live on the fat of
the land. They are black, wnite, NAL
tese and yellow cats: big eats and little
cats, but no thin cats. For while
Miss Hathaway had a room in the same
building with the cats, but she now
lives elsewhere and only goes TO the
house several times day to feed them.
She adds to her collection any poor
stray cat she may find on the street,
and is constantly on the watch for
them, and the black bag which she
carries with her for bundles and pack
ages has transported many sick pus-
| sy to the cat home, to be nursed and
cared for until we'll, and finally to be-
come fixture of the place. Miss Hath
away pays Sl6 a month for the pussies
| fiat, and there are three fine, large
stoves which burn day and night in
the winter time, so that the cats coal
bill is enough to make poor mans
hair turn gray.
The cats breakfast, dine and sup
most sumptuously, and six pounds of
chopped beef and fine round steak
with milk and desert form their Ordi-
nary meals. Boxes of sardines and cans
of oysters by the dozen are ordered
| from the wholesale grocers. Another
Item which counts up in the expenses
is the cologne and perfume which is
used to kill the strong odor inevitably
attached to cats. The rooms are kept
scrupulodslY neat and clean, and there
are transoms, which are kept open all
the time at the top of every widow
except the front ones. The cats have
not only house to themselves, but a
yard to play in as we'll, and they go
and come as they please through a
! hole in the door, such as Benjamin
Franklin is said to have had for his
cat Miss Hathaway has the grass left
| to grow at its will in the yard. and
some time in the evening they all
stroll out together to get the fresh air.

at low figures and on easy terms.

them: are careful to avoid destroying

tenderness will prove in the long run
fatal to it's possessors. handicappng
them seriously in the struggle for life

points to the jams:
notwithstanding the opposition. if
not active prosecutions. of bygone
times. the one small sect which, more
than any other in the world. has
taught and practiced the doctrine of
'ahimsa.' or 'noninjury,' to living crea-
