cotton patch that has been most thoroughly
cultivated this year in a most peculiar man
ner. She has three geese that have had the
run of the patch all the yeAr, and they have
kept it free trom the grass. In the spring
Bhe owned a goat, which also had the run
of the patch, and he ate the cotton down to

finished the job he laid down and died. So
the only expense the patch has beon for

t , investigate, and discovered what was the
remains of a negro. Tne corpse had been
riddled by buzzards and rendered unrecog
nizable. There was also some negro hair
near the remains, which indicated that
the deceased was a woman. It is thought

while wandering around wa attacked with
a tit and died. The coroner’s jury returned
a verdict that “deceased came to her death
from unknown causes.”
Near Waynesville Saturday night while
bands of negroes was searching for Day’s
body a most unea ttily halloo was heard.

ceeded in th.l direction. On arriving at
tile spot they f mud some of the party
standing around an old well and peering
into i-s depths. There were sigi.s ar m-id
the well which led them to believe that it
had been partially filled with the outlying
soil. Marks of hoes and shovels were
plainly see ;, and tins fact, tog tlier with
the sight of numerous tracks, led them to
believe thut Day had found a resting place
deep down in mother earth. The band
niadeJio attempt to get at the body, but
returned to their homes and reported toe
fact to the other negroes.
At Atlanta Saturday afternoon, while
outdriving iu her dogcart, Mias Carrie

Crane dfove out to t’iedniout park. In the
confines of the park there is a branch about
twenty feet wide, wtiici is shoal water, and
over this Miss Crane attempted to drive.
But bv some mischance the horse diverged
from the beaten path and attempted to cross
a few feet to the left, where tho
water was deeper. There proved to be a
bed of quicksand under tho current of wa
ter and the horse began to sink vvith the
cart. The ladies jum|>ed out and called for
help. The park p Jicenum and a prominent
Atlanta lawyer made their appearance upon
the scene and rendered assistance to tiie
fast-sinking horse. This was done by cut
ting the harness and drawing tho horse to
one bank, while tho cart was drawn to the
opposite bank.
As tho result of an existing disagreement
between Mr. and Mrs. Will Quinn of Amer
icas, a final separation was agreed upon.

mouths-old child without Mrs. Quinn’s
knowledge, and concealed it, preparatory
t" his departure with it from the city.
When she discovered that her child was
gone, she had a writ of halieas corpus is
hued, which was served upon Mr. Quinn, by
Bhei ill Bassion Saturday. The sheriff took
pissession of the child and carried it to the
jail, where It would tie in care of his wife,
pending adjudication of tho matter by tho
o 'urts on Monday. Mrs. Quinn spent Sat
urday night in tho jail, in order to be with
her child. On Monday, before the matter
came before Judge llilsbury, through the
efforts of counsel, an agreement was
reached, by which Mrs. Qinun is to retain
possession of the child until it is 2 years
old, after which the child will be given in
custody of its father. Mrs. Quinn, m e Miss
Kate Burke, was tho second daughter
of the late Col. F. K. Burke.
When Mr. Jester, of Athens, was a young
man, In the community iu which he lived
wus a woman who drank very freely, and
when tilled up with liquor she always wont
to the graveyard, and getting inside of one
of the Tittle paling inclosures made hur bed
for the night. The young inoti of the com
munity had planned for a fox hunt. And
a young man of the party had planned to
give his companions a first-class scare. So,
instead of joining the party as they struck
out from the gathering place, he
went ahead, nud covering himself
with a sheet, mounted the fence
which inclosed tho old woman
mentioned in the first part of the article.
As he snt there in the quiet of the night, he
chuckled to himself and could hardly re
frain from a hearty laugh at tho fright lie
would give the tux hunters. Soon the clat
ter trf tho horses w>o.s Heard and tho sheet
was carefully wound around him. As the
party rode in front of him ho threw out his
long white arms, and in a gravevard voice
said: “1 will rise and go to Jesus.'” Hardly
had he said the words when a voice from
the grave answered: “Yea, Ixird, lam
coining!” Of course the whole crowd were
badly frightened, but their scare was noth
ing compared to that of the ghost. He
i never visits a graveyard at night, and ho
‘ will never play ghost again.
Columbus Inquirer-Sun: Col. W. H. Mc-
Crory of Elluville, Schley county, arrived,
in the city Monday in charge of a girl
about 10 years old. The girl had an infant
in her arms, which was not horn in wed
lock. Col. JlcCrory delivered the girl and
child to her father, who lives on Rose Hill.
The story is a very sad one. The grand
jury of Schley county recently indicted the
girl and the father of her child, a man
named Jorre Hill, for fornication. The girl
was arrested ami gave boil 1, hut Hill suc
ceeded m eluding the officers. A few days
ago the girl’s bondsmen decided to surren
der her to the authorities, Mitchell and
Feagan of Americas. Officers succeeded
in locating the girl and Hill in the
uorttiern portion of Sumter county
Sunday afternoon. Tho girl was
captured, but Hill escaped, although
several shots were fired at him. The girl
was taken to Ellaville about 12 o'clock
Sunday night. She wept bitterly when
told that she must go to jail. She said that
her child was sick, and that she was anxious
to couie to her father in Columbus. The
sympathies of Col. McCrorv and a liaif
dozen or more of the kind hearted people of
Ellaville were aroused, and they decided to
make the bond ami send the girl to her
father, who Is a very respectable citizen of
Rose Hill. The father received his erring
daughter with open arms, and w ill do till in
his power to save her from further shame.
T >e officers are still on the lookout for Hill.
A telegram received from Sheruf Allen
of Srliioy announces that Hill has been
captured.

Maj. Roper of Bartow county was in At
lanta Tuesday taking step* to secure a pen
sion for KU Ticket:, a negro, wtio was
wounded while serving in the confederate
army. Pickett’s father belonged to ttie
famous Gen. Pickett of Virginia, whose
charge at the battle of Gettysburg has
made his name immortal. This negro Eli
was, however, b rn free, and when the war
broke out he was living in Louisiana. His
sympathies were with ihe south aud south
ern institutions, and he was willing
to risk his life iu their sup ort.
He volunteered and his services were
accepted. After joining an artillery com
pany he served iu the army of Tennessee,
His record shows that he fought braveiv
and n true and faitnful soldier. He
served ad thruugti th Georgia campaigns
until one lav he was struck in the head by
a piece of shell. His skull was crushed in
and he was carried off the field to die. It
was found, how-ver. that by r inovi g part
f the b ne and trepanning bis head his lite
could be saved. He suffered t-rrib.y aud
wh -u he finally recover and he was a wreck
of his former self. After the war he pur
chased a little farm in Bartow- county
and there he was made to suffer for the
part tie had taken in tho'fcontest. The
other negroes refused to have anything to
do with him, because they said he had
fought to keep them iu slavery. For years
he could not hire any one fo work for him,
an l hi- wounded head frequently made it
impossible for him to work for himself. As
Eli had been a good citize i for many years
some of the gentlemen of Bartow became
interested in uis cast*, and two mouths ago
an application for a pension was
made m his behalf The case was
referred to Judge Nisbet, and ho
decided that tho pension conld not be
granted, first, because the application was
in some respects insufficient, but chiefly
lie.-u.ti e the Confederate States did not au
thorize tiie enlistment of negroes, and con
sequently he never was a confederate soldier
and had no rights as such. Pickett’s white
friends in Bartow county refused to
take this decision as final. Muj. Roper had
a long consultation Tuesday with Maj.
Foute and Dr. Felton, the representatives
of Bartow county, and it was decided that
as soon as the requirements of the law could
be complied witu a local bill for his relief
should be presented to the legislature.
