OZBURN’S SANITY.
A Movement to Induce the Governor
to Delay the Execution.
Atlanta, Ga., June 17.—A movement
is now on foot to induce the governor to de
lay the day of Charles Ozburn*s execution
on the plea that ne is insane, that Ozburn’s
nerves are badly broken up. That his crime
and punishment have preyed heavily upon
him, mentally and physically there can be
no doubt, but whether he is actually de
mented or is only shamming, is a question
concerning which people are by no means
agreed. Under the oode the
matter appears to be in
the hands rather of the sheriff than of the
governor. In such oases it is made the
duty of the first named officer, with the
concurrence of the ordinary, to impanel a
jury and inquire into the sanity of the con
demned. If found insane the sheriff mutt
suspend the execution and roport to the
judge. Should the prisoner afterward re
cover the judge shall issue anew warrant
for his execution.
A CHARGE OF ROBBEciY.
C. A. Dunwoody Hss Four Young Men
of Atlanta Locked Up.
Atlanta, Ga., June 17, —C. A. Dun
woody, who is in business with his father,
a Crawford county saw mill owner, has
just bad a number of Atlanta young men
locked up on a charge of robbery. Dun
woody is also behind the bars for being
drunk. Ke claims to have lost S.IOO in
cash, S3OO in notes and accounts and a gold
watch. HU story is that after coming here
he began frolicking with the young men in
question and drank so much that he lost the
power of taking care of himself. Next
morning on awakening he found himself in
bed at the National hotel, but hU money
had vanished. The parties he accuses are:
Roberts, Lucien Parker, Dan Daily
and T. C. Powell. The policeman who ar
rested Powell sent in the watch along with
his prUoner. Under the circumstances it
seems to be very doubtful whether Dun
woody can substantiate his charge.

ty Murderer Caught.

■till remains in jail. His father, N. R.

GOOD IMPRESSIONS.
Do you expect to take a vacation this sum
mer* If so you will do more or less traveling
and be making new acquaintances, and, of
course, you will wish to make a favorable im
pression on them. This you cannot do, how
ever, unless you conform to the niceties of
polite society.
It is a great pleasure to meet new acquaint
annas, and the pleasure often extends beyond i\
mere knowledge of how deents the mere sound
ing of thefr brains, or the fullness of the money
bag.
It is often the case that the most Important
affetr 07 due s lift may date from a vacation
acquaintance. There are bo many ways of Im
pressing yourself on new acquaintances, and
the circumstance.: oonneotod with the first
meeting often qualify impressions. Of
all the aggravations with first introductions is
to hear your name mumbled, mispronounced or
misunderstood. It is mortifying in the ex
treme, and, perhaps, added to this, your new
acquaintance politeiy hands you his card, and
you find that you have none with which to re
turn his courtesy.
There is nothing more embarrassing than to
be unable to respond to this social ou-tom. and
it is very apt to impress your new acquaintance
with the idea that you are not familiar with the
requirements of society upon this point. This,
however, must not always be assumed aa a fact,
for the inconvenience of getting cards engraved
has been a great drawback until Messrs Tbess
Bros, opened the stationery and engraving de
partment of their business in this city.
Now there is no reason why any person in our
community should be without these necessary
articles of social usage.
Messrs. THEUS BROS, engage the finest
artists to be found, and their specimens ibdl
cate the high standard of excellence which they
have adopted.
