Accidentally Shot.
Last Saturday morning the little
village of Finchersville, Butts county,
near the line of Henry, was the scene
of a very sad and distressing accident.
While out at target practice with
several friends, Mr. W T alter Welch, a
most exemplary young man, accidental
ly shot himself with a Smith & Wes
son pistol, 38 caliber. The ball en
tered the left breast just under the
nipple. Medical assistance was imme
diatel called in, but it was soon dis
covered that lie was beyond the aid of
human agencies, aud death ensued the
night following. Mr. Welch was only
twenty-four years of age ; was held in
high esteem by all with whom he came
in contact.
He leaves a young wife to mourn
his untimely death.

Bitten By a Supposed Mad Dog.
Mr. Uel McGarrity, a prosperous
farmer living five or six miles east of
McDonough, on last Saturday eveuing
after fiuishirig supper, went out to the
well to get his pipe preparatory to tak
ing a smoke before retiring for the
night. On starting to re-enter the house
he was badly frightened, and justly so,
by feeling a powerful dog grasp him by
the leg, sinking his gleaming fangs
deep into the quivering flesh. He at
once reached down and grasped the
dog by the throat endeavoring to choke
him off, and at the same time crying
out for a negro that lived on the place
to come to his assistauce. The negro
failing to hear, or, hearing, failing to
respond to the call, Airs. AlcGarricy,
having arrived upon the scene, grasped
the stock of an old gun aud struck the
dog with all her might, knocking him
aloose from her husband and felling
him to the ground, lut before the
finishing blows could be administered
the dog sprang up and away in the
darkness.
Fearing the dog might have been
suffering from hydrophobia, Air. Alc-
Garrity came immediately to town and
had his wounds dressed. On Sunday
he left for Fairburn to test the wonder
ful virtues of the mad stone possessed
by Dr. Tidwell, of that place. When
applied, we have been informed, the
stone adhered to the wounds for sev
! eral hours.
| Although Air. AlcGarrity’s family
and friends are somewhat uneasy, still
the idea is entertained by them that
the dog was not suffering from the
rabbies.
Where the dog came from or to
whom he belonged is not known.
Christmas Chimney.
The committees appointed from the
different Sunday Schools to consult to
gether aud arrange for a union enter
tainment, have decided to hold
on Christmas eve night at Institute
I Hall, and as an innovation propose that,
instead of the conventional Christmas
tree, they have a “Christmas Chim
ney,” each brick of which will contain
dainty confections aud tid-bits so dear
to the hearts and palatable to the tastes
of the children. Every scholar who has
I had his or her name on the roll
the present year will receive one brick.
No presents will be received for dis
! tribution. Besides this, other
new and entertaining features that
have Dot yet been made public will lie
introduced, making it an interesting an
enjoyable occasion to both old and
young.

N o clip the following complimentary
notice of Henry's able representative
from at* article in last Monday's Con
stitution.
11 ague of the county of Henry, is
j vice chairman of the committee on rail
roads and with the many railroad bills
that have come up in the present house
! it is not difficult to see that he has had
a conspicuous place in the committee
service. Those big bills of Major
bacon's which have just passed the
house and gone to the senate for actiou,
have brought out all the effort and
ability of members of the committee in
their consideration and adjustment.
Reagan is one of the shrewdest young
members of the house and while he
never rushes into the debates with any
haste, yet when be is or.ee there he
makes the minutes couut. The welfare
of Henry county is in safe hands.
A Deserved Compliment.
ihe Thomaston Times, speaking of
the advantages of the school at that
place, pays this deserved compliment to
the talented wife of geuial Jim Coch
rane, who is well known to quite a
number of our readers : “Mrs. Coch
rane, nee Miss Annie Sanford, makes
a specialty of the piano and violin,
though she teaches on numerous other
instruments. She begau to compose
music at 12 years of age, and has a
number of pieces out, some of which
have been through throe editions.
Though only 22 years old she has al
ready had a request for her biography
from the author of “1,000 Celebiatud
Women.” .Mrs Cochrane modestly
declined to have her life so rccer.tlv
begun placed by the lives of women,
some of whom have been celebrated
longer than she bus lived. The Lam
hert Institution, which receives noth
iug hut talent of the highest order,
gladly opened its doors to this south
ern genius, and she was offered apo
sition to play in concerts before she
had been in New York three weeks.
Critics will say that such talent in a
town is a “fairy story.” It is a love
story, for Mr. Cochrane chooses to do
business in Thomaston, and if he chose
a job in central Africa, she would go
there and serenade the wdd birds and
him.”
To be Mai .led.
The engagement is announced of
Miss Elizabeth L. Thompson to James
Greer Zachry, both formerly of Wash
iogt. ti city, and now of New York
Miss Thompson is the daughter of ex-
Governor Hugh S. Thompson, of South
C arolina, who was assistant secretary
of the treasury throughout Mr. Cleve
land’s administration, and is now com
p'roller of the New York Life Insur
ance company.

of ex Senator C. T. Zachry, who went
