He has paid oat o total of $801*215- The total number of pension ers paid bas been 4,571. Of the pension fund of $879,000, $5, 000 will be need to pay the expenses of the State ltost-.r Commission. This leaves an unexpended balance of $3,785, Commissioner Lindsey says it will re quire ail of this to pay a number of stragglers, who have not yet been lo cated, but whose applications have been approved. Last year there was tamed back into the treasury about $16,000 out of the same amount appro priated. Commissioner Lindsey estimates roughly that it will bo necessary to have $890,000, or an increase of about $10,000, to pay the pensions for 1003. He will not have his applications to when tlie Legislature meets, so will have to base hit estimate upon past experiences. AGREWSOME FIND. Coroner Gandy Held Inquest cp Body Discovered Inear Chastain. On Sunday Coroner Charles Gandy went to Chastain to investigate a grew- some discovery made there by fisher men on Saturday evening. A badly de composed body was found to a slough about a quarter of a mile on the other side of the river from Chastain. It was impossible to tell whether the body was that of a white or a mulatto. A cleft to the skull caused the ooroaer’s ju ry to bring in a verdict of death by vio lence at the hands of parties unknown. The jury was composed of T. W. Oarr, foreman, J. M. Dekle, J. W. Sobers, J. J. James, W. B. Crawford and 8. O. Qutdj. , The body was dressed to the garb of a convict and a weeding hoc wad attached to the waist. These circumstances lead the corouer to surmise thattho man was an escaped convict from tlve camp of Holmts and Allen to Colquitt county. The cause of death and the whole affair is shrouded to mystery. If troubled with weak digestion, bel ching or sour stomach, use Cnamber- lnin’s Stomach and Liver Tablets and jou will get quick relief. For sale by . W. Peacock. d w Terrific Storm.
