up gi guns and a little preliminay prac
tice with dogs so as to have everything
in readiness for the hunting days.
He Hated Dem Britisher*.
When Admiral Gockburn’s marauders
ravaged Tilgkman’s island in 1814, diir--
ing the war between the United States
and .Great Britain, they found a differ
ent country from the Tilghman’s island
of today. Then the white population
was less than 50. Old George, a Tilgh-
man slave, who afterward belonged , to
the Harrisons of Long Point, w&ere in
his old age he had a comfortable quar
ter and a boy to wait on him, was one
of the victims of Coekburn’s marauders
and used to tell how “dem ar* British
ers made me run down me own hawg.
and not only dat, my young master,
dey make me kill ’im and skin ’im, hang
am I” And the old negro’s heart would
burn with indignation at the memory.
Old George lived to be a hundred, ac
cording to the record of his birth kept
by his mother's master, and lived in
great comfort in his old age. He died

A Job That Occupied an Impecuni
ous Artist About a Week.
*T have just finished shaving a dead
man,” said a local artist. “The job oc
cupied me about a week and”— “Good
heavens!” ejaculate a horrified friend,
“what d’ye mean?” “Don’t be alarm
ed.” replied the artist calmly. “The
operation was. not as repulsive as you
may imagine. In fact, I performed it
with a brush. Yon see, a certain family
of my acquaintance have a large oil
painting of the head of the house, who
departed from this vale of tears some
time in the early eighties.; At the time
the portrait was made he wore a full
beard, which was contrary to his usual
custom, and the family, who remember
him best with a smooth face, have
been anxious ever since to get oft the
Whiskers. I was engaged to shave the
portrait, and hard times and approach
ing rent day persuaded me to accept
the commission, which, needless to say,
was highly antipathetic to my artistic
Instincts.
“I had to depend entirely on the recol
lection of the family for my data, and
I found, to my alarm, that each mem
her had retained a different impression
of the old gentleman’s chin. One claim
ed it was double and another Insisted
that it was sharp and dean cut;, a
daughter - described, it as ‘square and
determined,’ and the widow assured
me privately that it was shaped like
the prow of an armored cruiser. 'Alto
gether I found myself in a deuce of a
fix. It was no trouble to take off the
I did that in three fell
swoops; but when I blocked out the
Jaw experimentally and called in the
crowd for suggestions, there was a
grand chorus of protest. Strange to
say, I pleased nobody, and I have been
correcting, amending, remodeling and
doing it all over again ever since. One
point of dispute was the location of a
wart, which half the family said was
on the left and half on the right. I
finally effected a compromise by paint
ing in two warts, one on each side. 1

another tonserla) job F1I go to driving

SHOVING THE QUEER/*
Mrs. C. A. Hardeman of Wallis-
burg, Canada, and her two daugh
ters, Misses Mattie and Azilee, are
stopping with their relatives, Mr.
and Mrs. Thos. M, Bell, Mr.
Hardeman may locate in Gaines
ville in the near future.
Messrs. W. A. Charters, R. J.
Swain, T. M. Bell, J. B. Gaston,
J. O. Adams, F. M. Johnson and
A. J, Mundy went to Mundy’s mill
last Tuesday afternoon on a little
pleasure trip and incidentally
were presented with fifty pounds
each of graham flour by the last
namedgentleman. It pays them
to go to mill but it is rough on the
miller.
The Graceful Way In Which Coun
terfeiters Pass Their Product.
“Counterfeit money *‘shovers’ form a
distinct class of criminals,” said an old
federal officer. “They have nothing to
do with making the ‘queer,’ but simply
put it in circulation. They go about
their work very systematically and re
duce the chances of detection to a mini
mum. , .
“A woman shover, for example,
starts out to unload on the big retail
stores. Her dress is quiet, but elegant
and she has the surface appearance of
a refined lady. In her hand is a pocket-
book containing one bad bill and a
number of good ones. She goes into a
store, makes some trifling purchases,
tenders the counterfeit and, pockets the
change. As Bhe passes out she brush
es against a boy, who slips her anoth
er queer bill and then drops back a
few paces in the crowd.
“In that way she makes the rounds,
and if she* understands her business
she can get rid of an astonishing num
ber of counterfeits in the course of a
few hours. If the bill she offers is de
tected on the spot, sb.e never attempts
any argument. ‘Dear tn«!* she ex
claims. T wonder if I have any more
of the horrid things!’ And thereupon
she empties her pocketbook on the
counter and asks the clerk to examine
the money and see whether it is al 1
right.
“In 99 cases out of 100 that disarms
suspicion at once. If she happens to
be arrested, only one bill is found in
her possession, and there is nothing to
disprove her assertion that she receiv
ed it somewhere in change. Meanwhile
the boy who carries the roll quietly
disappears. Often he sells newspapers
as a blind. ‘Have a paper, miss?’ he
Will cry and hauds The shover a bill
under the folded sheet. Altogether
it is a highly skilled trade. The upper
class sliovers are very seldom caught.*

been finished in the city, and others
are .under course of construction. No
city of the same size anywhere has
made greater strides during the past
year than Gainesville. All carpenters,
masons, brick layers, etc,, are quite
busy and the local demand for lumber
is So great it cannot be supplied.
Gainesville is destined tp be a great
city in the near future.
Wants to See Road Suilt.
Work has began on the construction
of an electric railway from Gainesyiile
to. Dahlonega. We sincerely trust this
enterprise will be successfully com
pleted, as nothing will help North
Georgia more than a railway through
this section of the staet.—Jackson Her
ald.
. Judge Stark Appointed.
Judge W. W. Stark has been re-ap
pointed judge of the city court of Jack-
son by Gov. Candler. There xvsip a
lively contest on for the place, but
Judge Stark was awarded the plum.
He is well known to many people in
Gainesville, who congratulate him up
on his appointment.
Leon Uzolgosz Pays the Penalty.
Auburn. N. Y.. Oct, 29.—This morn
ing Leon ^Czolgosz, the .murderer ©Y
President William McKinley, paid the
penalty exacted by the law for Mi
crime. He was shocked to death by
1,700 volts of electricity. He west to
the chair in exactly the same manner
sfe have the majority of the murderers
in this state, showing no particular
signs of fear, but in fact doing what
but few of them have done—talking to .
the witnesses while he was being strap
ped to the chair.
When the strapping was completed
the guards steppe i back. Warden
Mead. then raised bis hand, and at
7:12:30 Electrician Davis turned the
switch that threw 1,700 volts of elec
tricity into his body. The rush of the
current threw the body so hard agiin st
the straps that they creaked percepti
bly. The hands clinched suddenly and
the whole attitude was one of' extreme
tenseness. For 43 seconds the full
current was kept on and then slowly
the electrician threw the switch back,
reducing the current volt 'by volt nntil
the current was cut off entirely. Then
just as it had reached that point he
threw the lever back again for two or
three seconds. The body, which had
collapsed as the current was reduced,
stiffened up against the straps. When
it was turned off again, Dr. McDonald
stepped to the chair and put his hand
over the heart. He said he felt no pul
sation, but suggested that the current
be turned 1 on for a few teconds again-
Once more the body became rigid. At
7.15 the current was turned off for
good.
From the time Czolgosz had left - his
cell until the full penalty was paid,
less than four minutes had elansed.
The physicians present used the stetho
scope and other tests to determine if
any life remained, and at 7.17 the war
den, raising his hand, announced:
“Gentlemen, the prisoner is dead.’*
