The sensation in Atlanta is over
the I'ierce-Weaver case, which is
th.s:Last Fall a Texas stock dealer
spent some time in Atlanta at the
stables of W. O. Jones, where he
vas s-1 ling off several carloads of
ponies. He was brought specially
b ’fore the public by trading a car-
1 a t of Texas ponies for a beautiful
white Arabian mare, known as
Gypsy, that was at the time attract
ing much attention. Decemberllth,
he left Atlanta on the Georgia Pa
ri tic road, and was one of twelve
persons killed in the fearful oollis-
i >n that occurred at the water tank
1 ■ miles from this. His remains
were brought back to Atlanta and
Interred in West-view Cemetery,
Htulsuit was entered against the
railroad lor damages.
A month later perhaps, Mrs. J.
3’. tV eaver, of Indiana, came to At
lanta, claimed the dead man as her
husband, and also entered suit
against the road, claiming that her
husband, J. Pierce Weaver, had
gone to Texas, where he had taken
tlie name of J. W. Pierce. S leestao
Jished a strong chain of circum
stances, produced witnesses who
had i. ii.wn him in Texas, had the
body ox mined, identified it by the
niarked space between the front
teeth, a peculiar formation of the
toe , and a scar on the back of the
r>" b, and made out a strong ease.
iiii-n came Mr. J. Wood Pierce
fi >m Texas with witnesses, who
s core they had known Pierce in
i exas all his life; that he had nev
er been to Indiana, and could not
hive been J. P. Weaver. The
l> >dy was finally awarded to Mrs.
Pierce, of Texas, but Mrs. Weaver,
of Indiana, persisted in the justice
of her claim, and both ladies filed
suits against the railroad for dam-
Hgos sustained in the loss of theii
ho -band.
1 !e only way out of the myster.x
w is to produce either the Texas
I’i rce or the Indiana Weaver, in
the flesh, ami Ijius establish beyond
a doubt which man it was that wa.-
kiileil in the accident. Detectivi -
were set to work and at last J. P.

turned lr. m a trip to the Haralson
district, which fills out the south
east corner of the county. I also
attended church at Haualson. Dr
S. B. Cousins is pastor and was con
ducting a protracted meeting, as
sisted by Rev. R. W. Hamrick.
The congregation on Sunday was
very large and the Dr. preached
goi d sermon. It was my pleasure
to meet Bro. “Vesuvius” and I go
a glimpse of old Bro. “White Oak
Splinters ” whose beard, lik
Aaron’s, came down to the hem of
his garment.
I passed Mr. James Culpepper’s
and saw some bales of cotton stack
ed up in the lot and on asking why
he did not sell, was informed that
he has on hand all he has raised for
several years.
The general outlook of the pres
ent crop down that way is no bet
ter than it with us.
It was my good fortune to dine
with Capt Hosea Gray on the 26lh
ot July and partake of a slice-potato
pie made of potatoes raised last
year and it was as good as if it had
been December. I do not know
how good a hand the Capt. is
tj raise potatoes, but I know his
good wile is hard to beat in saving
them, as well as making pies.
I learn from a private letter that
Mrs. Matilda Davis, nee Matilda
Brown, of Ala., died a short time

about two weeks from that prostra -

While we deeply deplore his loss,
yet we do not sorrow for him as on<
who has no hope; for when his com
panion asked him if h * feare

my way to Sargent’s Factory,
where I hoarded the train for Car

Whitesburg, which shows some
signs of life and vim. Crops along
