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.

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 got my fee all right, but before I take another tonserla) job F1I go to driving a trolley car.**—New Orleans/ Times* Democrat. «c 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.* —New Orledns Tinies-DemocraL 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.

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.’* Market Ckau es Hands.
