ago.
She tells of that awful night how
the shot was hoard, most of the au
dience thinking it was part of the play
at first. How Booth jumped from the
presidential box, caught his spur in
the flag that drapped It and fell on
the stage breaking his leg. Then the
vast audience rose in a body, rushed
over seats forgettink their compan

ladies screaming who knew not what
to do. Tlie stage was filled with ac

ups on in a moment and citizens clam
ored for the assassin who escaped by
way of the back door, mounted his
horl%_ in waiting -and got away, but
later was captured. Mrs. Evans lias.,

making the machine which has been
patented.
The new machine is called a
breaking in machine,” and is for the
purpose of saving many people the
trouble, time and annoyance of break
ing a new pair of shoes to their feet,
fo that they will bo as comfortable
as the old ones they replace. This
the machine does with mathematical
certainty, and when this machine is
installed, all you will have to do
when you buy a pair of shoes, is
leave them with the shoe man over
night and they will be thoroughly
broken in for you. Thereby saving
that tired feeling that comes to any
one who has to walk on a pair of
| new and stiff shoe?.
An Athens firm has secured one of

Co., and a special agent from Boston
will be along to demonstrate the ma
chine.
If the inventors keep at it. they will

A! Christenson, the Atlanta heavy
weight pugilist, tells an interesting
Incident of his life, while following
the fightng game, which shows that
while pugilism may be considered a
brutalizing pastime, it does not til-
ways leave the telltale mark upon
the participant 'in ring encounters.
"Al" tells how a crowd of sports,
who were attending a fight in a wes
tern township, wore badly fooled.
Christensen was to meet another
pugilist of some renown, and the bout
had been widely advertised, and was
to be held at a place about five miles
rrom tlie eity, reached by a trolley
line.
At that time, “Al” was sporting n
new suit, and contrary to the usual
ideas, it was not of the “double A-
horse blanket style" but. was of som
ber black, and made the fighter look
vetir quiet and dignified, though un-
mistakeably athletic.
Going out on the car that night.
Christensen had to stand up. and had
pa-sed unnoticed in the crowd, when
some of the sports got into an argu

grand jury in Clarke county for at the
September term of the superior court,
the first court ever convened in this
county, was delivered by Judge Thos
P. Carnes, and is here given in full:
“Gentlemen of the Grandjury: This

this county 1 should do violence

offer some remarks to the
grand jury relative to the rise and
progress of a people whose lot Is
cast in a land where many, indeed,
very many circumstances ought to be
remembered to impress them with
the causes which under the dispensa
tion of divine providence have con
tributed to the enjoyment of the poli
tical and religous lberty wbch they
now enjoy in the most uninterrupted
manner. It need not be told that
this spot where we now appear and
in which the command of the laws of
our country Is the distribution of
speedy and Impartial Justice, was a
waste and howling wild where the
savages exulted in their war-songs
and tortures of some of our relatives
and friends and where the tommy
hawk and scalping-knife were, lifted
and directed against innocent cap
tive women an&'chlldren. I say that
these things are unnecessary to be
repeated, as eevry man wbo has had
the experience of twelve or fourteen
y^ars on the frontier will sufficiently
bring to mind such doleful scenes,
and convince all such who have
been conversant with them as well as
those who observe their progress that
a patriotic and virtuous exertion on
their parts will in ail events secure
and promote their happiness and that
the best conduct towards the attain-

ment of those desirable situations

contemplation of the means by which
they havp been acquired.
, “The name given to this county Is
a name of. reverence, veneration and
lution, when virtue and patriotism
moving causes and tlio
past of danger was that of honor:
this character always showed the
most substantial and unequivocal
attachment to the liberty of his coun-
ry and was when called on by eithoi
tlie authority of the state or pressed
by the distress of his neighbors—was
he never known to hesitate a mo

to all who thought well of their coun
try’s cause were themes on which
he delighted to dwell and no man
would go further honestly to servo
his country and fellow- citizens than
this character.
‘In all this he has received the
reward of his labours, his memory
lasts in the minds of his countrymen
and this is the reward of virtue.
As to your particular and appro
priate duty as grand Jurors, you are
to present, ns your oath informs you,
all offenses against the laws of the
state committed within your county,
and to keep a strict eye upon persons
inclined to commit any kind of disor
der: passing lightly over offenses of
this description encourages the vici
ous to go on in their evil courses and
absolutely discourages the citizens
who are fond of seeing good order
and the laws of their country sup
ported. Energetic measures pursued
by a body so respectable as this grand
jury is, at the first organization of, the
court will have an happy effect on
your citizens and give a dignified
character to your county.
