The Racket Store has just received
the largest shipment of spring goods
ever brought to this place, and cheaper
than the most chronic “Jew-down” ever
thought of buying them.
Col. Wall, Col. R'agan, Mr. John
Rowan and Mr. Alec Lemon attended
the joiut debate at Griffin. We havn’t
time for details, but they report great
enthusiasm and a large crowd, with two
thirds of it undoubtedly for Atkinson.
At the conclusion he was taken upon
the shoulders of his enthusiastic ad
mires and borne through the crowd
fron the stand. As the campaign pro
gresses, The Weekly is more and more
convinced that Mr. Atkinson's eminent
fitness for the governorship can hut re
sult in his triumphant nomination and
election.
One of the most complete mercantile
establishments anywhere is the Star
Store at Jackson, and it affords The
Weekly pleasure to direct attention to
their attractive spring announcement in

dating set of business men are to be

largest in Middle Georgia. They have
increased their stock very extensively
this season and announce their determi
nation to lead all competition. A
special invitation is extended to the
people of Henry county, where the
Star already enjoys a fine patronage

Hampton has been shocked this
week by the sudden death of one of
her esteem- d citizens.
On last Monday night at 8 o’clock
at Ins home in that place, Mr. Wm. D.
Pierce was stricken with heart disease
and without a moment’s warning his
spirit passed from life into eternity.
Mr. Pierce had just returned home
from Atlanta and was sitting in his
chair resting, all unconscious of any
indication of its approach when the
dread summons came. Without a word,
or symptom of auy struggle, he calm
ly sank in bis seat and expired.
Mr. Pierce was fifty seven years old,
and leaves a wife, three married daugh
ters and one son to mourn his loss.
He had beeu a citizen of Hampton for
a long number of years, and deep sym
pathy goes out to the stricken family.
He was the father of Mrs. T. L. Hutton,
of this place, to whom we extend es
pecial condolence.
Peace to his ashes.

Ami 11 is Last Thoughts Were of Ills
Deserted Wife.
The following latter has been re
ceived by the Atlauta Journal:
Bayou Sara, La., March 17. 1894.
Editor Atlanta Journal, Atlanta Ga.—
Dear sir:—Charles W. Smith, an
Atlanta man, was killed here this
morning while making a coupliug.
-He has been working here for the past
six weeks as coupler in the yard. But
this morning he went to make a coup
ling and fell. Four cars passed over
Irm, crushiug him.
He lived ahout half an hour, ami
requested me to write to Atlanta and
ask his wife to forgive him for the way
he had acted.
It seems that he deserted her some
four years ago. and since then he has
beeD going under the assumed name
of C. B. Brown. 1 will be glad if you
would publish this, for I am aqre his
wife will become informed of his death
in that way, as your paper will surely
reach her. I think there is some in
surance on his life which is made in
her favor.
Yours respectfully,
Rakel Casteli.o,
Yard Conductor Y. & M. V. R. R.
It is plain enough that the letter
contaius a story of iuteuse and drama
tic interest. Here are the facts behind
the story, which a Journal Reporter
discovered upon an investigation this
morning:
Ten years ago Charles W. Smith
and Eloise Ellison, a pretty young girl
whose home had been in Henry coiiuty
were married. Smith was good look
ing, competent and handsome. He
took, shortly after his marriage, an
inferior positiou on the Central rail
road, and after five years of faithful
work, was promoted to be a conductor.
Three children were born during the first
six years of the married life of Mr. utid
Mrs. Smith. Their home was a happy
one, and peace and love were the houen
hold gods.
Then, under some influence, which
has ever been utterly inexplicable,
Charles Smith fell, and his fall was as
deep as it was surprising. lie was
arrested for stealing a gun from on 6 of
the cars of his train, bonded out, and
then he disappeared.
This was four years ago. The wife
would not believe the proofs presented
to her, but as the months sped and
Smith did not return, she saw it all and
left Atlanta to live with relatives on a
plantation iu Henry county, where she
has been siuce her husband deserted
her.
Smith has a brother who is an em
ploye of the Western aud Atlantic rail
road, Mr. George Smith. He said this
morning that his brother was heard
from in Texas about a year ago, but
that no word had reached Atlanta con
cerning him since that time. He was
deeply grieved to hear of the terrible
tragedy in the Louisiana parish.
The wife of the dead man, it is said,
has heard two or three times from
her husband. Her father lives iuoAt
lauta, and is employed at Brady &
Miller’s stables. The first news of bis
son-in-law’s death, as, in the case of
George Smith, was the letter from the
Louisiana railroad yard master, which
was shown him by The Journal Report
er.
As we go to press we learn that Mrs-
Sarah King died suddenly near Locust
Grove last Tuesday. Coroner
Pritchett held an inquest yesterday,
aud the jury returned a verdict of death
from paralysis.
