MRS. NOBLES MUST H A Mi.
U. S. Supreme Court Affirms the Decis¬
ion of Ihe Georgia Court.
From Abbeville Chronicle.
The United States supreme court
has reviewed the evidence in Mrs. No¬
bles’ ease and affirmed the decision of
the Georgia supreme court. There¬
fore the old woman will have to hang,
and the day of execution will soon be
fixed.
Mrs. Nobles, who murdered her
husband, is the lowest type of the
backwoods Cracker, illiterate, and
some say, half witted, if not demented.
The crime for which this woman (now
past 60 years of age) must pay the
penalty with her life, was committed
over two years ago. Mr. and Mrs.
Nobles, with their two sons, Deli by
and Jack, were living on a small farm
twelve miles below Jeffersonville. Em¬
ployed on the place as farm hands
were Gus Families and his wife,
Mary, and Dalton Joiner, all three
negroes. Mrs. Nobles is said to have
been in all respects far beneath her
husband, and their domestic life was
a wretched one. The unhappy condi¬
tion of tilings culminated in a con-
spiracy between Mrs. Nobles and Gus
We enjoyed the circus with the rest

are due us from 50 cents to 85 on sub-

cents on subscription, they would have
felt better and made us feel better,
while at the same time an honest debt
would have been paid. We will be
satisfied, however, if you will bring us
a bushel or so of corn, potatoes, or any¬
thing you have lying barn.—Cordele around your corn Sen¬ j

Mr. Bryan tells the following good

longed to. u This man here,” said the
traveler, “is a republican.” “ T es,”

man.
Early otic Sunday morning, in June,
1895, the fiendish plot was carried in¬
to execution. At tlie trial which fol¬
lowed, it was shown that Gus Fum¬
bles had approached Mr. Nobles from
the rear and dealt him a murderous
blow on the head with an ax, which
felled him to the ground. Mrs. No¬
bles then seized the ax and with the
fury of a demon gave her husband tlie
finishing stroke. Before life was
