preciative as to have them made into a
book. Bathsheba began this corre-
spondence at the age OF six, and posted
her letters 10 her near neighbor in a
hollow tree. Her parents, we learn,
were strict Friends, or Quakers. lead

SOLDIER MUST PROVE
ESCAPE OF PRISONER
WAS AS REPRESENTED

Army officers are the original Mis-
sourtans, and must be shown that things
are just as they are represented Ac-
cordingly, Private Kingiey R. Farnum,
whose prisoner, Dudley Reynolds, knocked
him down and ran away yesterday, must
convince the authorities at Fort McPher-
son that the escape was altogether be-
yond his control, 1t was announced today
Private Farnum was arrested when he
reported that Reynolds had beat him to
Inconsistencies and had fled. Colonel
VanOrsdale today said that Farnum
would be tried by court martial within
two weeks on the charge that he al
lowed a prisoner to escape.
Evidence must be presented by Far
mum, under the regulations of court mar
tial, that he could not have prevented
the escape, the burden of proof being
taken from the officials on the hypothesis
that the sentry was guilty because he
did not prevent the escape
The chase of the fugitive soldier has
been dropped by the authorities at Fort
Mcpherson and will be left to the civil
authorities. A reward of $50 for Reynolds
return has been posted.

STATE BODY GETS
THE TABERNACLE.

The state board of missions of the Bap-
list denomination has bought in the Bap-
tlst tabernacle property, at the corner
OF Barlow and Luckie streets, according
TO report today. The Baptists met last
night and decided to take this action, 1t
is said.
The Tabernacle building will be reno
waited and used for the headquarters of
the state board of missions and the home
mission board, and this will necessitate
the removal of the former from the Can
der building and the latter from the
Third National bank building. Other Of
fees will be provided for in the building.
The price of the property was not given.
The presence of the two boards in the
Tabernacle building would do much to-
ward carrying out the plans of DR..
Broughton. The church owes nearly $780,
000 and the financial assistance at this
time will be welcomed
Baptists came together recently to dis
cuss ways and means and decided tenta-
lively on the above plan.
The Georgia Baptist convention author
lied its home mission board some time
ago to apply $4,000 to the indebted
ness of the Tabernacle and the infrmary.
The infirmary, it is said, owed only about
$4,000. 1t was recently sold.
