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 hold.

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.

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. A “ Natty Oxford.’* X\. Queen Quality / Oxfords, Light Flexible x. Medium High Exact Reproduction of this Style Shoe.

He lingered along when death relieved him last Saturday afternoon.

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. The Presbyterian Church an Inter esting Scene Tuesday. 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 and popular pastor of the Marietta 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.

Several more children notable to be present Tuesday will be baptized at another time. RURAL MAIL DELIVERY. Judge John W. Maddox and Spec ial Agent Go Over Route. With a special agent.
