Long Sentence ' A unique article oau be read today in the Atlanta Journal from the pen of Rev. Alex W. Bealer. He tells of a re markable instance that happened at the paatorium. About three weeks ago his little boy set a hen, just an ordinary, everyday, yellow, south Georgia hen. In the oonrse of time the hen came off with three little chickens, leaving a nest fall of eggs They looked so fresh that the little fellow concluded that hewoold them under another hen, who allow ed symptoms of laziness. The other hen, however, did not like the idea of raising chickens properly belonging to another bird, so she refused to set on the eggs. 10 days after the three little chickens had hatched Mr. Bealer’s cook called out to him: “Yon better come out here and look atter these here chickens. Here's a whole nest fall ot’em. It sho is the fust timelevar seed chickens hatch out by thoirselves. * * Mr. Bealer made an investigation and fonnd that oat of 0 eggs that had not been covered by a hen in 10 days, 7 chickens had hatched. He accounts for it from the fact that the nest is in a box close under a low roof on which tho sun shone uninterruptedly every day. thus producing enough heat to bring the chickens out of the eggs. In com men! ug upon this Mr. Bealer >ys that no one need think we have an unusually hot climate here, as it does not take an extra amount of heat to ltatch an egg, just the heat of an unimal body. He says that this Sooth Georgia climate is the most wonderful climate in the world. Anythiug given half a chance will grow to maturity here. Corn, cotton, sugar cane, pinders, men and women, and in fact anything but cranks, grumblers, free silver, Willie Hurst boomers (nursed by a congress man and an agricultural commissioner) will flourish and grow fat in this won derful South Georgia climate, and es pecially in that which envelopes Thom as county.' An adjourned term of Thomas conuty superior court convened yesterday morning for the. trial of jail cases. The njoet important case was that of Bill Lewis who was charged . with mnrder He was found guilty by the jury. His attorneys W. 0. Snodgrass and Roscoe Luke succeeded in saving his neck and the verdict was accompanied by a rec ommendation that he be sent to the penetentiary for life. His crime was the murder* with a knife of Sherman Thomas. The killing took plaoe last Christmas day at the Brim saw mill near Ooolidge. Another case was that of the state vs Will Williams. He was accused of assanlt with intent to mnrder. He had been prakticing witli a pistol on* the 6th of last March with the person of Julia Ann Ewers a colored woman as his objective point. He was represent ed by Theo Titus aud succeeded in ob taining a recommendation for punish ment as for a misdcuicauor, along with the verdict of guilty. A rose by any other name woald smell as sweet, and another Will Williams, wad upon the charge of burglary.
