J. R. Crawford, of Henry
county, recently came to his death
from a very peculiar accident
About three weeks ago Mr. Craw
ford arose one morning to kindle
a fire as usual, and in kneeling at
the fireplace, by some means a pin
penetrated his knee, and was
pulled out with only momentary
pain. No further thought was
given it until he came home at
night, when he discovered the
place had begun to swell. From
this it gradually grew worse until
the case developed into fever and
death relieved his sufferings.
Judge Newman has signed an
order at Atlanta granting the at-'

and the others who filed the peti

are members of the Southern Mu

desired that a United States court
receiver be appointed to take
charge of the association’s busi

“ Has the fruit all been kilt by
the recent frosts and cold snap ?
This is a question that the Tri
bune has asked many experienced
fruit growers, and people from dif
ferent sections of North Georgia
There seems to he a great differ
ence of opinion as to the damage
done. Some say that everything
has been killed and that we will
have no fruit this year. Others
say that only a portion has been
injured, and that unless something
further happens to it, there will
be plenty of fruit.
Trox Bankston, the versatile
genius who guides tlie destinies
of two prosperous North Georgia
weeklies, The Ringgold New
South and The Dalton Citizen
(thus winning the sobriquet of

journalism), was seen while en
route to attend the Press Associa
tion in Macon.
“ I can’t say of my own positive,
knowledge just what the damage
was up in my section, because I
have been too busy to make an
examination. However, an old
