Vienna Vindicator: While out on a fish
ing excursion in Berrien county last week,
C. H. Everett cut three balls out of the
heart of a pine log that must have been
there since the war of 1812. Mr. Everett
was chipping some kindling wood out of
the heart of an old pine log that was at
least two an l a half feet in diameter, ami
found these balls firmly imbedded in the
wood near the center of this tree. They
certainly had been there for a long while.
This tree stood very near the spot where the
first church ever built iu Berrien county
was placed, some few of the remains of
which mark the place still.

Undertaker John Brown. Day then seized
a negro woman named Anna Powell by the
back of the neck and cut her in twelve dif
ferent places in the back, on the neck and
on the head. One of the cuts in the back of
the head is very dangerous and may pro
duce paralysis. Dr. Gibson, who is attend
ing her, had to extract a portion of the
skull. He does not think she will die. Day
tried to cut several others. A negro woman
frightened him off with an ax, and he
escaped.
Americus Times: While going home at
a late hour a night or two ago, Will Clark
met a negro carrying a well-filled sack on
his shoulder, who emerged from bis father’s
yard just as Will was about to enter. Stoti
ping the negro, he asked him wbat he had
in tne sack. The uegro replied that he had
been to a dance, and that the sack contained
his fiddle. This was decidedly fishy, and to
convince himself more thoroughly Mr.
Clark caught hold of the suck. Imagino
his surprise when the inuffied squawk
of the old family rooster broke upon
the midnight stillness to the great aston
ishment of the negro, who instantly
explained to Will that he had
touched tne “B” string of the fiddle in the
sack. Will thought that he might have
done so, but all the same he snatched a
a paling from the fence and before the
negro could escape dealt him a wipe over
the head that laid him out as cold as a
wedge beneath the silver moon. Fearing
that he had killed him, Mr. Clark hastened
into the house to call his father, taking the
bag full of chickens with him. When the
two returned to examine the supposed
corpse they found the negro gone.
Americus Times: The first Baptist church
built in Americus stood on the present site
of Council & McGarrah’s warehouse on
Cotton avenue. It was a very modest look
ing little frame building, and was located
m a lieautiful grove of shadv oaks. That
was away back in the days of 1850 or ’sl,
when Amencus’was but a struggling v illage
ot a few small wooden houses. Rev F

A Repentant Runaway
When the M 9 o'clock Illinois

with excitement.
The agent took bis checks and got hi *22 ry,

about the depot in a terribly excited coi 3
"I don’t believe you are very sick," ss.
agent, laughingly. I believe you are r

"My God, how did you guess it?" was t#£j 50
to rushing answer. "That's just the case. jg on
my wife in Chicago this morning witn rl2 50
stating that I had gone to San Francisc
she would never see me again. I boug

over on the train, and when I got to Dubi
couldn't stand it any loDger."
The repentant runaway the- registerec
a room in the depot hotel, rushed up 1

for the telegraph < ffice. He sent thre*SH|
grams in rapid succession to his wife F
her to meet him at the depot in Chicago, w

His autograph on the hotel register is n
illegible. As near as can be made out it i
Henrotin, Chicago."
Couldn’t Find the Right Word,Eß.
A typical Missourian appeared at theTrei
house the other afternoon, says the
Tribune , and asked for a room. He sak
name was John YVakely. About 5 o’cloc
approached the clerk's desk and said:
"Guess I’ll remain, 'cause I'm kinder tire
"Pleased to have you." rattled the l.
"What's the name? Wakely. Oh, yes; “ TT *

The fellow's ood like a bronze statue f Ns
few moments and then took a ojair opposite
counter. At 6 o'clock another clerk cam
watch, and Wakely went to him, saying: RO
"My name is Wakely. Guess I'll remain.’
"Thank you, Mr. Wakely. Let’s see. 561,
room on that floor, if not in the house,
make yourself at home here."
The man seemed dumfounded at somethdS
and Le returned to his chair directly oppc

The strange guest, after glaring at tha
returned to his chair, where ne did not
until 2a. m. Then he was disturbed by a coi * ll
of late boisterous traveling men.
"We've had enough fun," spoke one of
drummers. "We might as well retire and—
