Two or three days afterwards the woman asked the Manager of the Geor gia Mail for the return of her money, but some excuse was made for not re turning it, and these excuses were kept up until Monday evening last, when-tor- Abearance ceased to he a virtu re. and the Geii’1 Manager of the Georgia. Mail .was arrested and spent the night in jail. Yesterday he was tried before Justice Sweat for larceny after trust, and outside parties are his bond anil securitv.

Why?” “Because I thought I found it in the pocket of the coat you left with me this- morning to repair, and I wanted to know certainly whether I bad or not. Now run along to your ofiice, and don’t worry. I gave it to the postman.” And John ran along to his ofiice, leaving his good wife with a smile on her face.

The Atlanta Journal of the 20th, inst, says “the Waycross Herald nominates Henry G« Turner for Governor.” The Journal makes a slight mistake. The Herald has the name of H; G.

Harris Accidently Shoots Himself on St. Simons—The Wound Considered Very Dangerous. Col. Frank II. Harris of Brunswick, accidently shot himself this a. m. on St. Simon*. Just us he was going to get aboard the steamer at Ocean Pier his pistol fell from his pocket and was accidently dis charged. The ball entering the right check, breaking the cheek bone—sever ed'artery in temple and lodging in top of his head. The doctors consider it a ery dangerous wound. Farmer and Newspaper Man. Many men think that newspaper men arc presistent dunners. By way of com parison* let us suppose that a farmer raises 1,000 bushels of wheat a vearj and sells this to 1,000 persons in all parts of the country, a great portion of them say ing, “I will hand you a dollar in a short time.” The farmer does not want, to be small and says: “All right.” Soon the 1,000 bushels are gone but he has noth" ing to show for it, "and he then realizes that be has fooled away his whole crop and its value to him is due him in a thousand little driblets, consequently he is seriously embarrased in his business, because the debtors, each owing him $1, treat it as a small matter and think it would, not help much. Continue this kind of business year in and year out as the publisher does, how long would he stand it ? A moment’s thought will con vince anyone that a publisher has cause for presistent dunning. - Another Accident on St. Simon*?. Rev. H. E. Lucos, Episcopal Rector of ?t.
