The wound was not con sidered dangerous at first, but Smith re covered slowly. Finally he moved out of the county with his family, and a few months later his wife and son came back and reported that Smith had died from the < ffeefs of the wound. They mt before the grand jury and had Green indicted for murder. He was tried, convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment. For several years Green has been confined at 1 he Pratt coal mines near this city. Some time ago his wife heard that Smith was still alive. Green succeeded in interesting a member of the state board of prison inspectors in his case. The inspector went to work and soon found Smith at Dallas, Ga., " here he has lived for several years. As soon as the legal formalities are compli ed wh h, Green will be released from f ■risen.” Jasper County News.—A certain Jus ti -e of the peace in this neighborhood was lecently called on for the first time to ue the matrimonial knot.
