Walter Anthony, Pastor. 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. ¥«u| Swkbrd sf CluBii Badly Hot While PUykfet Waycrets Lotil News Items.

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 Times. 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.” One of the noted visitors in our City is Mr. F. L.

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.
