Wn got some folks in a little house two miles from Altoona to take us In, and we slept there. "Next morning Charlie woke me up and said ho was going on to Atlanta. He told me not to follow him, and said If I did he'd take his gun and kill me. I don’t know what made him act that way,' but I didn’t want to take no chances on getting shot, so I let him go on. "You see, I had already gone over 100 miles and was lots nearer Atlanta than I was to Chattanooga. The good man nt the house, when he saw' what a bad fix I was In, gave me something to eat, nnd took me In a wagon to Ac- worth. "After I got to Acworth I got some folks to pay my way to Atluntu. Now, I want to go to Whltesburg. where my folks stay. "I can’t think of why my husband left me, unless It was because my eye sight came pretty near giving out on the way, nnd he didn’t want a blind wife on his hand*. My eyes are get ting dimmer every day.” City Warden Evans provided the lit tle woman with a ticket to Whltes burg, and she will soon be back with the old folks at home. » PRYOR ST.
