ond One Brought in Verdict

tie it.

who is vigilant in the performance
of the duties of his office, swore out
warrants against former Mayor A.
]. Hill, former Tax Collector H. o.
Thornton and Messrs. R. B. McLain
and Grover McRee, all enthusiastic
devotees of the chase, for fox hunt
ing. The cases had remained on
the docket undisposed of until Tues
day afternoon of this week, when
they were called in the city court.
Mr.. McRee was put on trial, and at
ter hearing the evidence and the ar
guments of the attorneys the jury
could not agree and a mistrial was
declared. Thursday Mr.. Hill was
tried, and the jury acquitted him.
after which the cases against the
others were mol pressed.
The gentlemen who were pros
ecuted did not catch the fox.

School Commissioner LOwrey Urges
Terrell Boys to Join.
To Terrell County Boys: We want
this year a large Boys Corn Club"
in Terrell county. We desire to for
tify against the boil weevil and also
against that objectionable extrava-
gance which forces the people of
Georgia every year to send $125,-
100000 to the West for feedstuff for
man and beast. We have a country
unexeelled in it's resources by any
other section of the world. If these
resources are properly developed and
our country made self-sustaining we
can defy disaster.
The boys corn clubs must lead in
this development. Soon others will
catch the inspiration and the $780,
900, 900 spoken of will be kept at
home and add wonderfully to our
material prosperity. / want the name
of every boy who proposes to go into
this contest with a determination to
stick. Give me your names and let
us aid all We can in the development
of our resources. Respectfully,

doctor nearly breaks Wade's heart.
In the early morning he orders,
his horse and goes for ride. A
pioneer comes to the post and asks
for a doctor. The young physician
volunteers his services and Ethel &C
companies him. On the way a wheel
falls off the buggy, and as he is
trying to get it back he sees a band
of hostile Indians riding towards
him. Lieutenant Wade from the
top of the hill takes in the situation
and gallops to his assistance. AS
Wade dismounts the doctor is over

lieutenants horse and makes his es-
cape. Wade and the girl jump into
the buggy and running fight takes
place. They find a cave. In the
morning the Indians take up the
trail, and to save the girl he draws
their attention to himself and makes
an effort to escape to draw the In
dams away from the cave. The doc
tor in his mad haste to escape rides
his horse over a cliff and is killed.
The animal limps back to camp and
the soldiers go out after the Indians.
They are driven off after fight, and

cued.

KILLED HIMSELF WITH PISTOL
A. w. MDONALD PUT BULLET

Partly Undressed and Lay Down ON
Bed Before Firing Fatal Shot.
Had Been Despondent.

Bed Before Firing Fatal Shot.
Had Been DespOndent.
Mr.. A. w. Mcdonald, one of the
best known citizens of Dawson, COM
mitted suicide about IL O'Clock on
Tuesday night by shooting himself
through the head with 3S caliber
pistol at his home near the Seaboard
depot.
Mr.. Mcdonald, who operated cigar
factory near the Seaboard depot, had
been at work at his place of bust
ness Tuesday, and went to bis home
bout ten o'clock at night. He spent
few minutes in conversation with
his wife and children, and went into
an adjoining room to retire. Soon
they were startled by the report
of pistol, and their screams attract
ed neighbors, who entered the room
on their arrival and found Mcdonald
lying on bed partly undressed and
clutching a pistol in his right hand.
An examination showed that he had
shot himself through the right tenn
pie, and the whole top of his head
was loose from the wound caused by
the bullet. He remained in an un-
conscious condition until he died
about an hour and half later.
He left no note or other explana-
ton of why he desired to end his
life, but his rash act Is attributed to
dependency caused by drink. His
family had no intimation that he con-
templated self-destruction, but to
friend he recently said unless he
could rid himself Of the habit that
was causing him great mental an
guish and physical suffering he would
end it all by putting himself out of
the way.
Mr.. Mcdonald was about 80 years
of age, and is survived by his wife
and two small children-a son and a
daughter. He came to Dawson from
Florida a number of years ago, and
by his genial disposition made many
friends who deplore his untimely
and tragic end. During the greater
part TO his residence here he was enr
gagged in the mercantile business.
Funeral services were conducted
Wednesday afternoon by Rev. E. F.
Morgan and Rev. H. T. Crumpton.
