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.

Rome; editor, Mrs. J. Lester Dillon, Augusta. The next meeting pla e will be Macon. 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., was robbed Saturday night of $1,- 100. Mr. P. H. Raiford, who was acting as express agent in the place of Mr. H. Raines, the regu 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 Americus, married a negro woman Sunday while the citizens were getting out an injunction to pre vent it. There is much indigna tion, as the Chinaman is a mem ber of the white Baptist church. Cal Fouche was killed and Paul Carey injured while crossing the Georgia railroad in a buggy Saturday afternoon.

As soon as this i* done workmen will, be engaged and the building rebuilt and great ly strengthened. 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.
