Following is an extract from
the account given of Fenn, the
man who was thought to have
been drowted, but afterwards
was found in Florida.
When the case came to trial in
the superior court the star wit
nesses introduced for the pro
secution were R. H. Roberts and
J. S. Land, two young men of
Tift county, whom the counsel
for the defence have charged as
being related, and it was also said
that Land was a former
employe of Fenn, who has been
one of the most prominent lumber
and naval stores manufacturers
in Georgia and Florida. The two
witnesses testified that early on
the morning of April 20, 1910,
they, in company with Mr. Fenn,
left Bainbridge in a row b iat to
float down the river to some
point in Florida, where Fenn had
business interests. It was a cool
morning, they testified, and Mr.
FenB, who took no part in the
rowing, became stiffened. At a
point a short distance from
Blountstown, Florida, and where
the river was unusually swift,
Mr. Fenn prose for jKWne purpose
from his feat in the boat, falling
overboard’ The witnesses stated
that he went under the swift
current and they saw him no
more, they presuming he had
taken cramps.
The news of Fenn being locat
ed in New Orleans created a sen
sation in Cordele. It is presumed
that Colonel Hill had some knowl
edge of his whereabouts before
going to New Orleans, though it
is stated that he had other busi
ness there. A large number of
friends in Cordele and this sec
tion have implicit confidence in
Fenn, and they have stoutly con
tended that he was dead, as re
ported. It is stated, however,
that the alleged dead man was
seen by Cordele citizens at point
in Florida, and an effort was
made at that time, which was a
few months after his reported
drowning, to capture him, though
he evaded those pursuing him
Odd Fellow? heie a few nights
ago, was crowded out of last
week’s issue, much to the regret
of the editor, who was present
and enjoyed everything that was
done to the fullest. The Odd
Fellows had one of the finest
suppers prepared seen
years. The cooking was of the
very best, and enough was left
over to have fed another consider
able crowd. The special feature
about the meal was turkey, which
was in abundance and cooked to
the Queen’s tasfe. The local
lodge here has taken on new life
and will make special efforts to
grow into one of the strongest
lodges in Georgia.
The feature of the evening was
the address by Congressman S. A
Roddenberry, who came over
from Thomasville on invitation
from the lodge here. The ad
dress was one of the best ever
listened to here on the subject of
fraternal orders and Odd Fellow
ship. Mr. Roddenbery was at
his best, and the crowd listened
with breathless attention during
his address.

day afternoon between two Bunn, feage in the lumber business,
Bell teams, the Mu Delta Phil and
the Hesperians, Donald Swicord
of Climax, Ga; was seriously in
[idling the product of the
,Authern Pine Mills, a business,
that he hr$ learned thoroughly by
jured. Swicords’s left leg was many years of constant associa-
Carter-Dozier
broken about half way between
the knee and the ankle. Both
bones of the leg were broken and
the large bone was broken and
crushed. Swicord was rushed to
town and given medical attend
ance. The injured leg was set
and he was removed to the home
of Mrs. Tomberlin at 20 Jane
street about eight-thirty o’clock
last night.
His injury was one that has
perhaps not happened before in a
foot ball game. He was playing
on the defensive and when Dorsey
of the other side attemped to
kick the ball on the fourth down
Swicord rushed in to block the
kick,In someway Darseymiss
ed the ball and kicked Swicord.
Ordinarily a kick would hit a
glancing lick and would do noth
ing more than bruise the shank of
an opponent who got too close.
However Swicord’s leg was bri k-
en by the force of the blow. This
action wasentirtey unintentional
on the part of Darsey and he is
not blamed with the injury of his
tion and close application to its
avery detail. Our citizens gene
rally will regret to part with Mr.
Brash and his family. The social
circles of Apalachicola will also
miss the family.—Apalachicola

Macon, Ga., Oct. 28.—Essie
Carter, the young woman who
was recently taken from a house
in Dawson and severely whipped
by several men headed by W. G.
Dozier, clerk of the Superior
Court of Terrell county, was
married here to-day to Vogt Do- friend and opponent
zier.
It was because of the infatua
tion of young Dozier for the Car
ter woman that the latter was
whipped at instance of the father
of the young mam.
Young Dozier returned to his
home at Dawson after being
married, but did not tell his fa
ther of what he had done. The
latter was told over the long dis
tance telephone to-night of the
marriage.
“This is a great shock to me,”
said Mr. Dozier. I did not believe
that my son would further dis
grace us in this way. He is here
in the house now and has told me
nothing of the marriage. *1 do
not know what I shall do now,
for they have about put me up a
tree.”

UPSHAW PLEADS
FOR CYRENE INST
Big Rally at Doaaltoaville, where ■och
Saccos was Had.
Donalsonville was highly hon
ored with a few days visit last
week from Mr. Will D. Upshaw’s
more affectionately known as
“Earnest Willie.” Theobjectof
Mr. Upshaw’s visit at this time
was to make a whirl wind 'cam
paign in the interest of Cyrene
Institute. On Tuesday evening
he met a large audience at the
Baptist church where he deliver
ed his famous lecture on “Christ
ian Education, ” in which he so
beautifully and forcibly portrays
the value of proper education to
the individual, to the commuity
life, to the nation and to the
church. It is impossible for one
to listen to this intensely earnest
and eloquent man without being
deeply impressed with the mes
sage he brings; and at the con
clusion of this lecture his audien
ce appreciated, more fully than
ever, the public profits to be de
rived from popular education and
the special benefit that will accrue
to this country and to this section
from the work now being done
by the Cyrene Institute.
The audience was so will plea
sed with Mr. Upshaw that he
toftl asked to remain in Donalson-
ville longer and deliver one of
his platform lectures. This he
,eoqsenjtod to do, and so on Wed-
Climax, Ga. He had tried out for
the foot ball team and made the
position of left tackle and was
considered a fast and careful
player.
This accident coming as it does,
the second within less than a
week of the accident to Fred
Lowtheron the Bunn-Bell field
last Friday afternoon when his
ankle was broken, has cast a
damper on foot ball operations
at Bunn-Bell and the entire stud
ent body and faculty are deeply
grieved at the acciJents. It will
be a matter of probably eight or
ten weeks before Swicord will be
able to walk.—Journal
