I BEST GRADES | COMMERCIAL STATIONERY. § $ g VOL. XXII. MURDER CHARGE ON YOUNG BOY. Sheriff Searboro brought to Mt. Vernon last Saturday night Eli jab Boyd,charged with the killing of Vesta Smith, a white girl of Ohoopee, last Thursday. The boy was immediately arrested and giv en a preliminary trial in Toombs county and is brought here on ac count of the unfinished condition of the new jail at Lyons. The boy claims that the killing was accidental, but has told a number of conflicting tales con cerning the tragedy. There is not supposed to be a witness to the killing, but a single-barrel shot gun was used. One statement is to the effect that the boy was walking away from the girl, with the gun on his shoulder, when it was fired and on turning around he saw the girl full. She died al most instantly from the effects of a full loud of shot. Young Boyd has a brother who married a sister of the girl. And the dead girl has for more than a pae figured in an ugly charge un der which a man was kept m the jail at this place for a year. ASYLUM FOR THAW; HABEAS CORPUS PROCEEDINGS NEXT. New York, Feb. I—“ Not guilty on the grouftd of insanity.” This was the verdict the jury gave Thaw for the murder of Stanford White. He was cheerful and hap py as he said, after being commit ted to Muttewan, the state asylum for the criminally insane, thereto remain until a lunacy commission shall determine him sane enough to be released: “I will be out of here more quickly and easier than I got out of the other place.” Asked for an opinion concern ing her impressions as to the ing of the jury,Evelyn said •.“Con sidering everything, the verdict was very satisfactory, all we could expect under the circumstances. Further than that I must not sny • anything, my lawyer having sos - bidden mo to talk. The verdict was arrived at on the ground that Thaw was insane when he committed the deed. And so after all in fulfilment of thous ands of prophecies, the gold ,of Harry Thaw will eventually' pave the way to his freedom and he will come among us again with his swagger and his strut, his milli ons and his mania—steps are now being taken to that end. Had ho been a poor man he would have been shocked to death, buried and forgotten a year ago. Citation. Georgia—Montgomery County. The appraisers appointed upon application of Abbio L.

TALKING WITH SPIRITS | Those who believe or are inelin- I ed to believe in spiritualism have ; bad their fait h mater ial I y j strengthened l*v tlie annoucement I * | within the past low day's that Sir ! Oliver Lodge, the distinguished | scientist, has given his adhesion jto the cause, as the result of a number of experiments lie has been making in psychic research. Sir Oliver is recognized as one of the stillest and soundest of modern men of science. His ab solute honesty and integrity place him beyond the possible imputa tion of deception, or oven of be- J ing easily misled. lie lias been | investigating scientific phenomena jail his life, and as the head of the j University of Birmingham, ho is j on« of the great educators of his i tlmo. j He declares in clear terms that , those who have gone before and . ; those who are still on this bank i and shoal of time are working to wards one another like two squads of men digging a 1 tinnel, who have j ! started from opposite ends, and j while the tunnel of communion-! : tion has not yet been completed, j wu can hear tlie pickaxes of those : on the other side. To be more definite, lie claims: 1 Ito have held communication with a number of departed men of I science who we're particnlary in terested in psychic phenomena I and gave assurances before their : death that if possible they would: j communicate wit h the living and | 1 transmit messages from the other I world. It is easy enough to smile at the ! alleged instances of communica t tons with Ihe spirits of the de parted, but when men like Sir Oliver Lodge bring their firm testimony we are obliged to give iwhnt he has to say at h ast, rcs ; pectful consideration. The announcement has created something of a sensation in the • scientific world, and it is only just to say that scientisiss as dis tinguished as Sir Oliver Lodge think that he has been honestly i 1 deceived by his own senses, but nevertheless the full report, of his experiments will be awaited with interest. —Atlanta Journal. { Sheriff’s Sale.
