MURDERER OF BABY
SENTENCED TO HANG
John Wright Found Guilty
Of fIeartIess Crime in
Fannin County.

Judge Patterson for the first time
since he went upon the bench faced
the painful duty of sentencing a man
to be hanged when John Wright was
convicted in Fannin Superior Court
last week Solicitor General Herbert
Clay prosecuted the case and won
a verdict despite the fact that a
strong array of legal talent was pitted
against him.
Wright was sentenced to be hanged
on December 10Th, but a motion for
a new trial has been made.
The crime was the murder of the
little two months old baby of Mr.. and
Mrs. Moultrie Hughes Frank Rudi-
ell and John Wright. went to the
home of Hughes about nine O'Clock
at night, called him to the door and
Rudicill shot him dead, jumping upon
his PROSTATE body and ''stomping" it
with his feet. Mrs. Huges ran out
with her baby in her arms and tried
to defend her husband Wright struck
at her with his gun and killed the
baby He was subsequently captur-
ed but Rudicili is still at large.
Cobb Superior Court will co1wene
on the third Monday in November
and at that time Judge Patterson
will hear the motion for a new trial.

T do not see why some of our local merchants doesn't stock these standard things that wo- men are going to have and stop their going to the city for them; they not only lose that particular class of trade, but these city shoppers always buy a lot of other stuff that could be bought at home.
 Tn many of the smaller towns that 1 visit 1 see in the show win dovs the same brands of we'll known goods that 1 see in the city windows, and as well dis played; and these enterprising merchants tell me that they are lessening considerably the city shopping of their citiz ens."
 Insofar as he carries com plete stock of up-to-date, we'll known trademark e d adver< tised" goods, and advertises and displays them well, just so far will the small-town merchant turn the steady flow of his towns money from the city into his own tills.
 People should and will buy what they want at home if they can get it at home.

and an orchestra of 100 soloists. This is the greatest dramatic and specta- cular production ever presented in America, enacted on specially built stage bigger than a hundred ordi- nary theatres. It is made portable so that it can be erected in the main tent each morning. This great en- tertainment is given as an introduc- tory to the regular circus perfor- nance and entails no extra charge of admission.
 "Joan of Are" tells a masterful story from French history in a thrill ing and dramatic way and with the wonderful illusion of tons of special scenery and stage devicesIn the great the great battle scene the audience is held spellbound by the realism of the scene, while the enactment of the cor onation of Charles VII is beyond question the most sumptuous and in- spring stage picture ever seen.

 Besides a number of minor purchases, made, as she put it. just while she was there" she had exhibited to him on her re- turn handsome suit, the pri~ mary object of her visit to the city, and which she proudly as- serted had cost her only S35.
 Taking pencil and paper he called for her other expenses; railroad fare for herself, one child and nurse, $17; hotel bill, SIP; carriage and car fare, S2.5O; other expenses, S5-a total incl dental expense of S36.50, making the suit cost, in fact, $71.5O.
