ord. so far as this section is concerned.
And all of his wives were sisters.
Last June Dan Kelly’s first wife died.
Her maiden name was J ennie Fowler,
and her marriage with Dan had been a
happy one. Dan loved his wife and
had a high regard for the Fowlers. In
fact, soon after his first wife died he
had his hair trimmed up and his mus
tache curled and he again set out to win
another female member of the Fowler
family. In three weeks his efforts
were crowned with success, and he. led
Sallie Fowler to the altar. Unfortu-'
nately death soon claimed her as its
victim, and Dan Kelly was again left
in single blessedness. This blessedness
in the shape of singleness was a little
more than he could stand. He sighed
again for the joys of marital bliss.
Once more he wended his way to the
Fowler home, his hair trimmed a trifle

Love for the Fowlers predominated in
his heart and this time Lithonia suc

He lia's a charming wife to comfort and

With his third wife and last, up to

having the greatest number ot wives in

in the great state of Georgia.
In accordance with the declaration of
Dan just previous'to his last marriage,
Friday night, that he would take the
last and youngest of the Fowler’s for

died, Squire Dyche made use of the fol

When Lithohia’s dead, Dan takes her

Educational Rally.
The good citizens of Gainesville, who
are interested in the higher education
of young men, are most cordially re
quested to meet m the court house at
8:30 Friday, the 14th inst. Mr. Bell is
anxious to meet face to lace with our
good people and set before them some
of his plans pointing to the establish
ment of a male college within our
city, which he thinks offers unprece
dented advantages for such an institu
tioii.
He is very sanguine of success and is
determined to push this school enter
prise to the front and place It on a
solid footing. This is the question,
Will the citizens of Gainesville help in
this direction?
Mr. Bell would be glad to have an
endorsement from our citizens in the
form of some practical resolutions which
he may embody in his advertisements
that he hopes to send out at an early
day.
Let ns have an all round .good, free
meeting on the evening of the 14th
inst. Brother, come. Tell your neigh
bor and get him to come. Several
short and interesting talks will be
made by prominent citizens. Come to
the educational rally! .
J. A. Beli,.
The killing of MT. William B. Bell
m Habersham county last Sunday
morning created considerable interest
in the city when the news was received
here. Mr. Bell was beaten to death
with a piece of fence rail by a man
named J. S. Smith, who is well known
in his section and who heretofore held
the esteem of those who knew him.
The facts concerning the tragedy as
could best be obtained are about as
follows: Bell, who is a traveling man,
representing _ John B. Daniel of
Atlanta, spent Saturday night at
Smith’s home near Soque postoffice.
Reports say both, men drank together
and that next morning Bell hitched up
and started off presumably for his
home in Cleveland. Smith got into the
huggy with Bell and after they had
gone some distance one wheel o± the
buggy ran into a. rut throwing Smith
out and Bell fell on top of him. This
angered Smith, it is said, and he ac
cused Bell of pushing him out of the
buggy on purpose, whereupon he seized
a fence rail and struck Bell, a fight be
tween the two taking place.
Smith was the better man of the' - two
and heat Bell over the head fearfully,
inflicting painful wounds. Some per
sons came up, separated the combat-
amts and put Bell back into the buggy
and started him off again. It is said
Smith followed Bell and after going a
short distance overtook him, pulled
him out of the buggy and beat him into
insensibility. Bell’s skull w T as crushed
and other wounds were inflicted which
produced death in a short time. This
was done, it is said, in the presence of
eight witnesses.
After killing Bell, Smith went off to
one side of the road a short distance
away and lay down beside a log and
slept for two or three hours. ‘ ^
No effort was made to arrest him and
after a short time some of his friends
brought him a mule and started him off
across the mountains. Mr. Bell’s friends
were notified and his remains were ta
ken in charge and carried to Cleveland
early Monday morning. Mr. Ab Dorsey
went at once to Cleveland and em
balmed the body.
Mr. Bell’s children here were notified
Sunday night and Messers. Tom and
Gus Bell left at once for the scene of
the killing. Other relatives went to
Cleveland Monday. The remains were
interred at Cleveland Wednesday after-.

noon with Masonic honors.
Mr. Bell was 61' years old. was 'for
many years Ordinary of White county
and was well known throughout North
east Georgia. He leaves a wife and ten
children all of whom are well known
in Gainesville. They have many friends
who regret the unfortunate affair
which has caused them so much grief.
Smith is said to he well ‘to do and
when sober, a peaceable law abiding:
citizen. However when drinkiog he is
regarded as a dangerous man. He is
38 years of age and is a big man phys
ically, weighing about 250 pounds.
A posse headfed by the Sheriff of
White county started out Monday to
capture Smith. He was thought to
h ave made for- the mountains 6f Rabun
county as he was last seen goingin that
direction. It is believed that it will be
diffitult to apprehend him as he has
every opportunity of* evading those < in
pursuit.
The terrible affair is generally re
gretted and the family has the sympa
thy of a large circle of friends in their
sorrow.
Governor Candler has offered a re-
ward*of $200 fdr the capture of Smith
and it is certain that the friends and
relatives of Mr. Bell will use every ef
fort to effect his capture. »
