STRENUOUS FARM LIFE.

The Lamar Democrat says o. the life
of certain youngsters on the farIa:
"The boy, who is yanked out of bed by
the hair, kicked out to milk and cuffed
in to breakfast as preliminary to being
popped through in the field all day, is
not likely to be consumed by his love for
the glories of agriculture. Give the boy
fair show, and he'll stay with you till
the cows comes home. If you are so harsh
he can't stay at home, don't you go
to your neighbours with hypocritical snuff
file and tell about your boys ingratitude
after you have raised him."

TO ANOTHER.

The story that reads like a romano,
in some cheap play had its denoue
ment in Meridian yesterday.
There was an affinity" on both side.
cf the affair which had for its frs
scene the little village of Yellow Pine
in Alabama, on the Mobile and Ohio rail
road. 1t was at this place that A H
Johnson, an employee of lumber company
lived with his wife and two children
two boys about seevn and five years
old respectively.
1t was stated yesterday that the tempter
entered the home when ]. A. Sellers, also
an ernploye of the lumber company, went
to Johnson's home to board. The mother
and wife became fond, too fond, of Sellers,
and an elopement was planned.
Scere the second shows how the elope-
ment was planned and partially executed.
Johnson determined to send his wife on
a visit to her parents in Texas. Sunday,
he helped her On the north bound train,
having first purchased ticket for her
at Meridian and giving her $50 to buy an
other ticket and pay her expenses.
But Johnson had suspicious, so he went
ors the same train to State Line and see
ing nothing of Sellers, he returned to
Yellow Pine There he learned, to his
surprise, that Sellars had jumped on the
rear end of the train as it pulled out.
There was nothing for him to do but await
the next train, SO he got a friend, Mr..
]. c. Hongh to come to Meridian with
him, arriving at 1:3o yesterday morning.
Scene three shifts to Meridian.
The outraged husband found his wife,
two children, and Sellers at hotel
and Officers Knapp and Wilson were
summoned to take hand in the affair.
The Yellow Pine people were carried
TO the police station and here a discussion
was had as to what was best to do. Aft
er much discussion, Johnson said he would
take the children and give his wife to
Sellers. Then the wife, woman-like,
shed some tears. She told Johnson she
wanted to go back, and continue as his
wife, but Johnson said no. He offered
to furnish her house and support, but
she could never be his wife or have the
children any more. Sellers was willing
to take his lady-love, minus the children,
and the husband pleaded that the erring

in some South American country.

IN some South American country.
But the net being spread by the officers
was slowly drawing closer, and Sorsby
was finally captured in clever-contrived
hiding place at the home of Mr.. Bob
Johnson, in the town of Clinton, within
in short distance of the spot where he had
murdered Mr.. Fitzgerald
The facts of the tragedy were SO well
known that the defense saw the utter
hopelessness of offering any justification
save the insanity plea, and Sorsby's "fixed
stare" at the ceiling was one of the no
table features of the memorable trial in
which several of the ablest lawyers in the
state took part.
District Attorney Mcneil was assis-
ted by Hon. R. N Miller, of Hazlehurst
and Mr.. R. P. thompson, while the de-
Tense was represented by Messrs. Will
hanson & Wells, Lamar Easterling, and
Watkins & Watkins.
Nearly week was consumed in Sc
curing jury, three special venires
beinlg used, and innumerable witnesses
were examined, including a half dozen
or more physicians who were called in to
testify for and against the insanity plea
The recognized authorities on insanity,
including the superintendents of the state
insane hospitals, declared that Sorsby was
mentally SOUND.
1t is expected that the defense will
file the usual suggestions of error in
the supreme court, but, in view of the
very positive tenor of the decision, there
is little likelihood that it will be fa-
vorably considered.-Jackson News.
