We 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 he was going on to Atlanta. He told mn 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 hint go on. “You see, I had already gone over 100 miles and was lots nearer Atlantn than I was to Chattanooga. The good man at the house, when he saw what a bad fix I was In, gave me something to eat, and took me In u wagon to Ac- worth. After I got to Acworth I got some folks to pay my way to Atlanta. Now. I want to go to Whltesburg, where my folks stay. I can't think of why my husband left me. unless It wns because my eye sight came pretty near giving out on the way, and he didn’t want n blind wife on his hands. My eyes are get ting dimmer every day.” City Warden Evans provided the lit tle woman with a ticket to Whttes- burg, nnd she will soon be back with the old folks at home.
