A profound sensation was crea
ted in Atlanta by the announce
ment that Harry, Cassin, cashier of
the Georgia Loan Savings Bank
ing Company, had misappropria
ted some $45,000 of the funds of
that institution. Cassin has al
ways been known as a young man
of exemplary habits and fine bus
iness qualifications. Cashier Cas
sin applied the funds of ihe bank
to private enterprises in which he
wished to invest, and lost all. He
sent good money after had, until
finally his defalcations reached the
sum already stated and discovery
followed. Friends and relatives
of the yonng man have made up
the shortage, and the hank will
not lose a dollar of the sum stolen.
Young Cassin will not be prose
cuted. His connection with the
bank has ceased, and he will be
gin life anew in Atlanta.

A sensation is brewing in Mad
ison that is liable to explode at
any moment. It seems that a few
days ago a gay Lothario from At:
lanta, who travels for one of the
most prominent houses of that
city, while stopping at one of the
principal hotels at Madison, made
improper advances to the wife of a
fellow drummer, who makes her
home at the same hotel while her
husband is on the road. The lady
grew very indignant at what she
termed "the Atlanta man’s ‘ bad
break ” and telegraphed not only
to her husband to come home, but
to the wife of Jbhe Atlanta drum
mer, and to the house he worked
for. The husband is soon expect
ed to put in an appearance, and
everybody is expecting fresh de-
velopements. The man from At
lanta left the same night the insults
were alleged to have been offered.
The Southern Express Compa
ny’s office at Johnston Station, Ga.,

lar agent, who was away at the
funeral of his father, went to sup
per and locked the office, but did
not put the money in his iron
safe. On his return the money
was gone, and up to this writing
no clue of the robber has been
found. Detectives are at work on
the case.
Joe King, a Chinaman, at

IN THE GOOD OLD TIMES.
A Texas Murder Trial Ends in a Happy
Marriage.
While the Texas veterans were
in Austin last week, we overheard
two venerable men, who had not
seen each other since 1842, talk
ing about the early history of Tex
as, and how much better things
were managed in those early days.
Among the incidents of by-gone
days was a murder trial which
took place in the days of the Re
public of Texas, not long after
the battle of San Jacinto. A man
was brought before . the court
charged with having murdered a
neighbor, the father of a large
family. The murderer himself
was an unmarried man. When
the case was called, the presiding
judge read the indictments, and
having told the prisoner to stand
up, said to him:
“Bill Jones you have’nt been
acting right about this matter.
The man you killed was a good
man, and never done you any
harm. Yon murdered him in a
cowardly manner, while he was
plowing in his field. You
deprived a good woman of
husband, and made
childrer. Now, I advise you to
act like a gentleman about
matter. If I turn you loose will
you marry the widow and sup
port the family of the deceased?"
The doomed man said that
was more than willing to margjjP
the widow, in fact he shot her
husband so that he.” the accused,
could do that very thing.
‘ ‘Well, then,” said the judge,
“ I’ll dismiss the murder case
- •
against you, and as the widow is
in court, we will proceed with the
marriage ceremony.”
The widow had no objection, .
except that she wanted a little
more time to dry her eves and fix
up for the occasion. The judge
pronounced the happy couple mart;
and wife without any delay.
Such, at least, was the story as
the two old veterans told it, and
we cannot think for a moment
that they would try to deceive a
newspaper man.—Texas Siftings.
“ The newspaper is a visitor in
every home. It takes up his abode
in every household. The father
reads it; the mother reads it; and
the little ones learn their a b c’s
from the big letters of the adver
tisements in it. The names of
the advertisers in our paper thus
become household . words. Peo
ple trade with those they know,
or with those whose names they
are familiar. But not only are
the advertisers thus benefited, but
by showing to the 'world.'the busi
ness that is carried on, the city in
which they live is helped.”—Ex.
It is not for death the Moselem cares—

But he hates to be licked by man who
