Editor Chores, of the Dawson Journal
who is confined in the Fulton county
jail for safe keeping, is not only in
sane but is almost in a dying con
dition.
Cheves will hardly lire until the
case against him is called in the Terrell
superior court, unless something can
be done for him.
Several months ago The Constitution
stated that Cheves was insane, and
gave an account of his conduct, sub
sequently, an account of his recovery
was printed but it now appears that
the recovery was not complete.
For several weeks past Dr. Boring
has found it absolutely necessary to
pay Cheves two visits a day. His con
stitution gave ways long ago and he
began to show sign of disease soon,
after he was jailed, but uboot tliree
months ago his physical condition be
came so wretched that the man found
it almost impossible to move about in
the jail. Dr. Boring, of coarse, finds
it impossible to rebuild the man’s
sestem confined as he is. When Cheves
first confined in the Fnlton county
jail, he was quiet and retiring in his
disposition, and held himself aloof
from the other prisoners. However,
as ho became accustomed to the con
finement and associations, he mingled
with bis fellow prisoners and talked
and read to them. He proved to be
the same in jail as out of it-a kind
hearted man, and divided his tobacco,
postage stamps, paper, pen and ink,
., with the prisoners. About this

the accident had happened the fireman
immediately stopped the engine and
told what had happened to his engi
neer, the conductor and a number of
gentlemen went up the track for a
number of yards and discovered a piece

fireman said he supposed was the

was immediately brought to Ameri-
*“ J >Jaced in the saloon at the de-

to attend to his wound, and on ex
amination his scull was found to be
crushed in several places, portions of
l he scull being buried in the brain, and
causiog concussion of the brain, which
rendered him unconscious. He was
carried to his home in Macon <
day morning on the 5:30 train.
Mr. Thos. Gresham and a number of
gentlemen was sent up to Stewart’s
ling to find out whether the piece
il had been broken from the track
had been placed upon the track
order to reck the train, on
close investigation it was found
that a broken piece of car
coupling and the broken piece of rail
did the work, and was placed npon the
track for nothing more than to reck
the train; for the piece of coupling
showed evidently marks npon it where
the flange of the wheels had struck it.
It was picked up at Stewart’s crossing
between the sidetrack. We hope the
guilty party will be found and punish-

We regret to leurn of the death of
the oldest child of the Rev. Win. Wes
ton, grandson of A. A. Adams of thii
city, that occurred on Monday the

Americus, on Tuesday afternoon and
interred in Oak Grove Cemetery.

r for life from having made o
time he was quite a favorite with the
prisoners, every one of whom liked
him. This was six months ago. Soon
after that, however, Cheves began to
change.
. He grew surly and disagreeable and
would avoid all those around him.
Finally he began to abuse those who
tried to be kind'to Lim and ultimately
succeeded in driving every prisoner in
the jail away from himjexcept Alex
McGorr, a negro. Tuis boy it appears
exercised a control over Cheves, and
when he became abusive McGorr was
the only person who could do anything
with him. Dr. Boring observed this
change, and at first thought Cheves
was “acting a pa’i ’in order to sus
tain a plea of insanity even when his
trial came up. All during hi- confine
ment up to tuis period he bad been ex
tremely talkative and friendly with Dr.
Boring. The prisoner watched for the
doctor’s appearance every day and
seemed greatly pleased when he enter

Boring became convinced that Cheves’s
mind was giving way. He knew that
his physical strength hud been greatly
destroyed, and with a view to saving
“ie man’s mind if possible, ho worked
lergetically and succeeded partially.
When Cheves first became a prison-
• he was as fine a specimen of man,
physieally, as ever walked, but the
confinement and his trouble has
preyed upon him that today he is n
able to walk a dozen steps. He has
gone down gradually until within the
past week when he began to weaken
jry rapidly
On Friday last when Dr. Boring left
him ho remarked to the turnkey at the
jail:
“Cheves can’t live thirtv-i
At that time he was sinking rapidly.
His mind was gone entirely. He was
unable to move except when assisted
by Mcgoor. His breathing was labor
ed and irregular. On Saturday Dr.
Boring found no change for better,
on the contrary he found Cheves worse.
Saturday night Mcgorr thought Cheves
would die and watched eagerly for the
day, On Sunday ho seemed some bet
ter and yesterday he was decidedly
stronger.
Cheves attorneys, Judge Vason and
Judge Hawkins are both in tho city
and will probably try to devise some
means to save the man’s life. The
case is a knotty one, and puzzles the
best legal talent in the state.. Cheves
killed Colonel Pickett in Terrell county
about a year ago. He was then brought
*" Fulton for safe keeping. His trial,
course, will take place in Terrell and
is to the court of that county that
is subiect. Af* — *-—
the Fulton coui
insane now his friends want him ex
amined by a lunacy jury,
that this must take place
county before that ordinary. It
that in order to have him tried
writ of lunacy he must givebond
to tho court for tho murder case. Then
again it is claimed that a jury of lu
nacy to try his condition cannot be
found in Terrell county. Some of his
friends were in Atlanta wanted him
examined by Ordinary Calhoun, but
it was ascertained that he had no juris
diction in the case. Then the gover
nor was approaohed and asked to ap
point a special commission on lunacy
to investigate the prisoner’s condition,
but the Governor declined saying that
the law gave him no such authority.
This leaves the matter in just such
shape that no one can tell what will
be or ought to bo done to secure the
prisoner’s relief.

Still They Linger.
Many of our yards are still adorned
with a variety of beautiful flowers,
are blooming almost as profusely
midsummer. The delicate climb-
ines are ladened with their cherry
blooms, the roses never were prettier,
the dahlia, the tube rose, the canner
buff and crimson, the lantanner all
colors, the red salvia with the chrys-
antliummum’s in all their glory is a
beautiful combination to make a home
bright and happy. Autamn still lin-
in the lap of summer,
g throng of ladies on our
robed in their purple and white will
verify. Our eyes wander out over the
highways and see the world so bright
and beautiful and so many blithe and
gay that our soul wonders in mute as
tonishment over the scenes and pleas
ure of tho passers by, and we feel deep
down in our hearts, and wonder again
and again if it will ever be thus, or '
there a cloud of misfortune for them

present sunbeams of pleasure.
The Happy IT*.
The following complimentary notice
young friends recently joined
together in holy wedlock, we take from
the Atlanta Constitution of Sunday:
Quito a brilliant wedding occurred
; the Methodist church last Thursday
evening, the 22d hist., it being the mar
riage of Mr. E. L. Bell to Miss Elma
Buchanan, Rev. A. B. Campbell per
formed the ceremony. The bride is the
eldest' daughter of Mr. and Mrs, A. J.
Buchanan, and is remarkable for per
sonal charms, dignity of character and
maidenly modesty. The groom is son
of Captain and Mrs. A. C. Bell, and a
young man of sterling character and
good business habits. After the cere-
ny there was an elegant reception
the palatial residence of Captain
II, on Forest street. There were a host
friends present. Just thirty-five
years cover* the span of the two lives
just joined together, the groom being
nineteen and the bride less than seven
teen. W. K. Wheatley and W. E.
Hawkins came down from Mercer to
act as attendants at the wedding.
Weston Lodge. F. ft A. M., No. 80.
Death has again entered the mystic
circle and made captive our brother
G. W. Davenport, who, enfeebled by
disease and infirmities of age, became
the contest of life, and
- Jeath a cessation from its
straggles and sufferings.
G. W. Davenport was born in Hali
te county, Virginia, and was at the
tine of his departure about seventy-
one years of age. Ho had been honor
ed by his fellow-citizens of Webster
county to an election to the office of
Ordinary, which office he held with sat
isfaction to hisconstitneney for sixteen
years. _ As an officer, he was efficient,
ns a citizen submissive, as a husband
and father an ample provider, as a
neighbor kind and obliging, and as a
Mason an honored member, m all the
relations of life he discharged its dnties
faithfully and well. May wo not with
Job enquire; is there not an appointed
time to man on earth f
Be it Resolved, That in the death of
brother G. W. Davenport, the county
of Webster has lost a valued citizen,
his wife a kind husband, his children
idulgent father, the community an
imed neighbor, and Weston Lodge
a worthy member.
Resolved 2d, That we as Masons ex-
tend^to the bereaved family our pro
point them to
lace for their sorrows.
Resolved 3d, That as a token of our
respect for our departed brother, each
member of Weston Lodge wear the us
ual badge of mourning for thirty days,
and that the jewels of the Lodge be
draped in mourning.

Love and Age.
There is said to be no fool like an
done. Not long ago, a rich and ven
erable man. in one of the Middle States,
who dyed his hair and affected youth
ful manners, met a handsome, middle
aged widow on the sunny side of 40
years, and married her. He did not
inquire about her antecedents. She
io doubt intent upon his money.
At New Orleans, the old husband whe
probably regretted his folly, was madt
acquainted with an adventure of hi*
wife, which he magnified into some
thing monstrous. In that far off city
he left her, with a small sup
ply of money, and began divorce
proceedings. The wife, who had no
doubt become disgusted with her
bargain also, after some very harrow
ing experiences, instituted a cross suit,
and finally carried the day. She has
been awarded a lump sum of W0,000,
and her former husband is required to
pay costs amounting to $12,500.
Neither party can marry during the
lifetime of the other. The old mi
thus put in guardianship against him
self, and the young woman has at least
the satisfaction of knowing (hat her
venture was not altogether barren and
unproductive. She has legal triumph,
small fortune, and independence of
monsters called men.
Marriage is a sacred, necessary
wholesome institution, when wisely and
properly entered upon. Otherwise,
what was meant for a blessing be
comes a torment and a curse.

Modesty is a virtue greatly to be ad

that in the list of bridal presents:
Buchanan and Bell marriage, there

idea has been created in tho minds of
the people, and discussed, the truth of
the matter has been revealed to
still, small voice,” and we give the
facts, so that the parents should not
be misjudged as to their liberality. The
mother of the bride gave her
piano; the father gave her a beautiful
bed-room set of furniture. The mother
of the groom gave him a handsome
parlor set, and the father gave him
home. All this is as it should be,
and was very commendable, and doubt-
lass fully appreciated by the newly-
wedded couple.
