The Mysterious Picture. The picture on the wall which is still a mystery, is creating consider able excitement here and in neigh boring towns. The picture is a cor rect likeness of one which appeared upon the wall of one of the rooms in the residence of Mr. M. M. Al inand, in this city. About the middle of last month the picture made its appearance, without any known reason, upon a spotless wall, and is so true to na ture that the beholder is held spell bound, and wonders what freak of nature placed it there, or whether it lie of supernatural origin. While the picture gives a faint idea of how j Ihe original looks, one must see the j original in order to relize what j it really is. Many explanations have been of-J fered by would-be wise men, but these explanations do not explain satisfactorily. The picture of the woman j is plainly outlined, and across j her lap lies an infant whose features < are plainyl shown to the naked eve. A perfect hand with index finger pointing to the east, and under the hand a laxly laid out and shrouded for burial. Taken all together, the picture is mysterious and uncanny. Of course, there is some rational explanation of this picture, but that explanation has not been forthcom ing as yet. At first there was some disbelief! manifested on the part of some who) always doubt when anything! out of the resonable occurs, but a sight of the picture banished doubt, and feeling akin to wonder takes possession of the looker-on and lie feels a desire to solve the mystery- | Many who have visited the pic- j tore claim to have found other things but those spoken of above! are there to speak for themselves. Between 8(H) and 1 (XX) people | have been to see the picture within ’ the past week, no less than 300 being there last Sunday. Mr. Almand has had severaljgood offers for the section of wall con taining the picture, but has refused to sell. —Social Circle Sentry. The J. R. N. Baugh house and lot on North side Wright street.
