married the girl,
AND THEN DECAMPED,
Sephemiah Abernathy, of the
Stamp Creek district, the aged
mail carrier between Cartersville
and that point, was in town Tues
day, seeking the location and ar
rest ot truant son-in-law.
Some time last winter, as the
storv is related by Mr. Abernathy,
his 18 year old daughter Eva, was
in town to see a traveling: dog and
pony show, and while here she
met a strange white man, who
gave his name as Andrew Fowler.
Upon leaving town for home the
stranger asked permission to call
on her at the home at Stamp Creek,
which request was granted. In a
few days the stranger appeared
and began paying attention to the
girl He lingered around until
near Christmas and the two were
quietly married, though against
the wishes of the elder Abernathy.
As the man claimed to be a far
mer as well as a singing school
teacher, old man Abernathy began
tomake arrangments to put his new
son-in-law to work. He went his
security for a sls mule, rented
him some land, and went his se
curity with local merchants for
about sls \vbi*th of supplies. The
man went to work breaking up
his land and making preparations j
for a crop. Although one-armed
he worked pretty well. He had
also employed his father, in-law’s
young son and everything looked
sauguine in the Abernathy house

Opposition to Abolishing Fair
view School. —Other Items.
The exhibition given at the close
of Oak Grove school last Fri
day evening was both nice and en
tertaining. L rof. J. H. Jolly de
serves great praise for the ability
he displayed in the selection of
sudjects and management. The
audience was large and attentive
and all went away well pleased.
We are glad that Oak Grove is
again wending her way to the po
sition she occupied in former
years. The school during the
term just closed, has been excel
lent. Prof. Jolly has not failed in
any degree, whatever, of turning
over every stone that would be ef
fective in leading the minds of his
pupils on to a higher station in
life. The patrons are gratified
over the results and extend to him
their heart-felt thanks for benefits
received.
It is rumored through this sec
tion that efforts are going to be
made to dispense with the Fair
view school, near this place. Per
haps those who are most eager to
accomplish this move have ne t giv
en the matter due consideration
and we would advise before it is
undertaken, that it be thoroughly
investigated. There are many
good citizens living around Fair
v>ew, and they have not failed to
pay every cent the law exacted
from them for school purposes and
now to intrude on them by forcea
b!y destroying their school for the
sake of convenience to a few
would be unjust in every sense of
the word.

this year’s farming operations so
far as the young son-in-law was
concerned. He had borrowed his
father-in-law’s Sunday coat the
day before to attend singing and
upon pretense of going off to look
after some plows, he seized his
small grip and left the neighbor
hood and he hasn’t been seen since
by the people of the settlement.
Old man Abernathy waited a few
davs for some word from his son
in-Law and not hearing, wrote his
uncle in Cherokee county concern
ing him. The reply he received
wafted awav all doubt as co the
character and game of the man.
The uncle wrote that the man’s
proper name was Andrew Pugh,
and that he had been guilty of the
same trick two or three times be
fore, that he had three wives in
Alabama, and was a bad egg alto
gether.
Though a poor man, possessing
some land, the old gentleman is
very anxious to apprehend the man
and hopes to be successful. The
description is given that he is a
short “chunky set” fellow, about
46 years old, red complexion, and
looks very much like an Irishman.
Hisleftarm has been cut off midway
bet veen the shoulder ,nd elbow.
He claims to be a singing school
teacher.
He will in all likelihood drop in
to some other settlement of sim
ple-minded people and carry out
the same game as he has done three
or four times be'ore. His field is
among the country people and
could be easily overhauled.

DIES IN ATLANTA.
James H. Underwood Brought to
His Old Home for Burial.
Died in Atlanta last Saturday
afternoon, Mr. James H. Under

ed leaves a grief-stricken and de
voted wife to mourn his loss. He
leaves no children.
Mr. Underwood was born and
reared in Bartow co _nty and has
relatives here. Seventeen years
ago he went to work on the W. &
A. road and was in its employ in
the capacity of locomotive engin
eer up to the time of taking his
bed last July. He was a faithful
employe and was held in high es
teem by the road officials as well
as his fellow workmen. When he
was taken sick there was doubt as
to the nature of his ailment but it
was soon seen that dread con
sumption was getting in its fatal
work. He lingered along when
death relieved him last Saturday
afternoon. Though not belonging
to any church or secret orders, he
was known as a straightforward
man, and during his last s’ckness
he professed religion and died in
the faith.
The funeral was preached at the
residence in Atlanta Sunday after
noon, Dr. Len Broughton officiat
ing. The remains, charge of
his fellow-workmen, were brought
to Cartersville and enterred, Rev.
Alex. W. Bealer officiating at the
grave.

WHITE CONVICT KILLED.
He Loses Both Legs by Sugar
Hill Mine Cars.
Bob Kent, a young white con
vict was run over and killed at the
Sugar Hill convict camp Saturday
afternoon. Kent was a water car
rier and when he was crossing the
railroad track, carrying two buck
ets of water, a s’.iff wind was blow
ing the smoke of the engine into
his face and he did not see how
far the approaching engine and
cars were from him. and the engin
eer could not see him. Both legs
were cut off and he died soon af
terwards. Kent was sent up from
Macon and the story of his life is
best told in the following from the
Macon correspondent of the At
lanta Constitution:
Macon, Ga., April 21. —Infor-
mation was received in Macoql
this morning that Bob Kent, a well
known young white man of this
city, was killed last evening at
Rogers in Bartow countv, Ga. He
was run over by a locomotive and
both legs were cut off and he was
otherwise injured. The particu
lars of the affair are not known
here. In January of last year he
was sent from Bibb countv to the
penitentiary under a sentence of
two years tor burglary. He had
served about fifteen months of his
time. It is not known whether he
was killed at a convict camp or
otherwise. This afternoon the
body of Kent artived on the
Southern train from Atlanta and
was met at the depot by relatives
and acquaintances and carried di
rect from the depot to Riverside
cemetery, where it was interred.
Rev. S. L. Morris, of Tattnall
Square Presbyterian church offici
ated
Kent was well connected in Ma
con, but for years he had led a dis
reptable life, costing his father
money and trouble. His escapades
were numerous and black. On:e,
soon after the commission of a
crime, he was sent to the lunatic
asylum at Milledgeville, but he
ran away and indjeed a girl em
ployee at the asylum to come off
with him. They went to various
points and finally landed in Macon.
He was no: returned to the asylum,
as the authorities did not consider
him at all crazy. He was sent to
the county chaingang several
times under sentences from the
recorder’s court. At the time he
was sentenced to the penitentiary
there was hanging over fim a re
corder’s fine of SSO or four months
in the chaingang for city violations.
An effort was made to send him to
the asylum a second time as all
means of escaping punishment for
one of his misdeeds, but the jury
refused to declare him a fit subject
for the lunatic asylum.
A BEAUTIFUL SERVICES.

A large congregation gathered at
the Presbyterian church Tuesday
afternoon at 3 o'clock and heard a
very strong and delightful sermon
by Rev. J. H. Patton, the gifted

Presbyteran church. Just before
the sermon Mr. Patton baptized
the baby of the pastor, Rev. E. M.
Craig, after which Mr. Craig bap
tized ten other children and' two
young people who were received
upon profession of faith. It was
a beautiful sight to see so many
children and their parents claim

ordinance. Several more children
notable to be present Tuesday will

Judge John W. Maddox and Spec

With a special agent. Mr. Ar
nold, Congressman Maddox arriv
ed in the city yesterday and spent
the day going over the proposed
rural free delivery route proposed
some time since. A few months

ple around Rogers Station had
the Ferrobutte postoffice establish
ed, which section was traversed
by the new route and the scheme
fell through.
Judge Maddox has succeeded in
getting the matter reopened and
yesterday’s trip was to go over
it again and possibly recommend
its establishment.

euchre players, whom Judge Fite
charged should be indicted. “In

gressive euchre, to whi:h the pre
siding Judge especially called our
attention, we beg to say that after
a thorough investigation and ex
amination of witnesses we could
find no evidence in our judgment
sufficient to convict.”

there was not a progressive euchre
party at the homes of some of the
swell set, at which, of course,
'prizes were given. Full accounts
of these have appeared in the local
papers and those ot Atlanta and
Savannah. The names of the play

DEATH OF NOBLE “ARCHIE.”
THE FAMOUS TROTTER NO MORE.
Aftira record full of honors, a
life of faithful service, Archie, the
famous head of Etowah Cliffs
Farm, died Tuesday afternoon,
quite suddenly.
No horse has ever gone out of
Bartow county that has reflected
more credit and reputation on the

Messrs. Henry and George Stiles

and nine days thereafter he landed
in Bartow county and upon the
farm where he died. He has trav

tered he came in for the greatest
admirtion of all true lover; of horse
