THE TIMES-JOURNAL.
Eastman Times Established iSp /
Dodge County journal, 1SN3 j
tion of Georgia and is in good
standing so far as I have ever
heard wherever he is known. He
took a high stand in his class at
graduation.
Respectfully,
W. S. Kendrick M. D. Dean.
The above explains itself and
requires no comment; at the re
quest of my friends and bearing
in mind Sam Jone’s remarks rela
tive to fighting a skunk, I have
declined a newspaper war or the
gratification of just desire for re
venge, feeling confident that the
cowa'rdly assassin of character,
the author of the slanderous lie,
published in the Times-Journal
some time ago who has for years
been trying to stab me in the dark
from behind the backs of relatives
and friends, will get his just re¬
ward sooner or later even without
help from me. I only wish to add
that the American Medical College
of St. Louis Mo., belongs to that
class of high grade colleges that
reduire four years of study before
they will even grant a diploma,
and that that “so-called” Medi
ca 1 College of Atlanta, that gave
me “the only legal right” I have
to practice after “only three
months study” is with but one or
two exceptions the strongest med
ical college in the south, and cer
tainly the strongest Medical
College in the state, having
for its professors such men as
Kendrick, Todd, Westmoreland,
Calhoun, Hardon and others
equally eminent. <
I have been brought before the
bar of public opinion as defendant
to a malicious and
charge and I am satisfied to let
my case rest there, knowing that
the decision of this court, is always
just and according to evidence.
Incidentally I wish to state that,
as yet, I have seen no sign of
smallpox in Dodge county.
Very respectfully,
Jno. It. Rose.

EASTMAN, GA., JULY 27, 1899.
A SENSATION AT WESTBROOK.
Elijah Coleman Deserted his Family
and Eloped With Mr*. Tindall.
Somewhat of a sensation has
been caused at Westbrook, Laurens
county, by the simultaneous dis
appearance of Elijah Coleman and
a woman of ill repute by the name
of Tindall. Coleman has for some
time past been manager of Mr.
Duggat. 's turpentine business at
Westbrook and also filled the posi¬
tion of woods-rider. It is said
that during the course of his du
ties in the woods he often visited
the home of Mrs. Tindall, who
lived about three miles from West
brook, and that their criminal in
timacy had become the common
talk of the neighborhood,
It seems that Mr. Duggan be
came disgusted with Coleman’s
actions, and a few days ago suc
ceeded in getting him out of the
business. On Monday of last week
Coleman left for parts unknown,
and likewise Mrs. Tindall, each
leaving their respective families
behind. It is said' that Coleman
left a wife and eight children m
needy circumstances, whereas Mrs.
Tindall ridded herself of a hus¬
band and seven children.
Coleman was born and raised in
Laurens county and until recently
it is said that he bore a good repu
tation. His wife is highly esteem
ed by her neighbors and she lias
the sympathy of the entire corn
munity in her trouble,
We are informed that Mrs. Tin
dall has left her husband on pre
vious occasions and that her rep
utation is extremely bad, that of
her husband being pretty much on
a parity with hers.
No attempt has ffeen made to
apprehend the runaway couple.
A Pleasant Day at Chester.
Our senior visited Chester on
Monday last and was the guest of
Mr. and Mrs. II. M. Hancock,
This voting couple have but re¬
cently cast their lot with the good
people of Chester, where Mr. Han¬
cock is doing a thriving mercan¬
tile business. Mr. and Mrs. Han¬
cock are delightful entertainers
and the writer will long remember
the few hours spent in their hap¬
py home. Mr. DeLamar Turner,
the genial depot agent at that
place, who was temporarily domi¬
ciled with this family, interested
us with some of his experiences as
a wild goose hunter and his esca¬
pades as a soldier. Our old
friend, Mr. John Williams, and
others, also contributed to the
days enjpyment. Mr. and Mrs.
T. C. Byrd were off on a visit to
Vidalia, hence we were deprived
the pleasure of seeing them. We
hope however, ere long to again
visit this pleasant village.
A Chicken Thief.
Mrs. Julia A. Smith, of our ci
ty, had rather an exciting experi
ence at her home on Monday
night last. Soon after retiring,
she heard some noise at her chick
en house and arming herself with
her gun, she hastened to the scene
ot the trouble. Hie moon was
gning crmsiderable light, though
not shining brightly, ow ing to
tha clouds, but she could
no cause for the commotion
among her feathered tribe. She
returned to her room but soon
thereafter, the noise began again
and again taking make’ her gun she pro
ceeded to a second search
for, as she supposed, some chicken
thief. Failing to discover any
thing, she lighted a match and
greatly to her surprise she beheld
a huge ’possum only a few paces
from her. demurely crouched in a
corner. She immediately raised
her gun, and the minced meat ot
that ’possum onlv remained
show how accurately she had ta
ken aim. Moral.-It might lie
far safer for a chicken thief
visit some men’s chicken houses,
than the chicken houses of some
widows we might mention.
Miss Annie May Bohannon
has been spending some time with
friends at Cochran, has returned
to her home at this place. She
