Elberton Star: A. R. Hill, a
leading lawyer of Danville, Ill.,
is in the city on a peculiar mis¬
sion. He came to recover an
old family horse that was stolen
from him on Dec. 21, 1891, and
which he has followed over
1,000 miles. The theif that
stole the horse carried it to In¬
dianapolis, and sold it to some
horse dealers. They sold it to
Borne Atlanta stock dealers, who
spipped it to this city. A gen¬
tleman from Mr, Hill’s home
who was visiting in the city,
saw the horse and recognized
it, and at once notified the own¬
er. Mr. Hill came to see about
the much-beloved animal. On
arrival he was iuformed that
Iris horse was in the stables of
Hill & Walker, and that he
would have to prove beyond a
doubt the identity of it before
he could have it. With some
other gentleman Mr. Hill pro
c eded to the stable. When he
walked iirto the stall the horse
neighed and pranced, and when
Mr. Hill held out his hand the
horse licked it with seemingly
as much passion as ever one
person kissed another. The
gentlemen present were as¬
tounded at the .instant recogni¬
tion of the matter by the faith
ful old family horse^aft a full
year’s abscence ^entle
man who had . fcfaion of the
horse told Mr. Hill to take it,
remarking: “You need not
identify the horse; he has identi
fi(>d you. 1 would hate to be a
murderer and own that horse.
I mjght run on him some day
and could never [conceal my
identity. ” The horse will be
Shipped to Danville and Mr.
Hill will follow him.
Jonesboro News: For some
time, in the neighborhood some
three or four miles north of
town, a wild animal, unlike any
hitherto encountered in this
section, has been terrifying the
people and making it exceed¬
ingly interesting for the canines
thereabout. An old negro tells
about the sad fate of his two
excellent hounds in a very pa¬
thetic manner. This ferocious
animal appeared at the old ne¬
gro's home after dark, and the
watchful dogs assailed him
earnestly for a few moments
and then the old man knew, by
t; e sounds they were making,
that they [were being cleaned
up in short order. Hastening
to their rescue he could distin¬
guish a large, dark colored ani¬
mal going from the house, car¬
rying in his ponderous jaw s the
mangled remains of one of the
mangled remains of one of the
clogs while the other one had
sought refuge under the house
where it was whining and giv¬
ing every possible indication of
the fearful struggle through
which it had passed. He man¬
aged to get the poor brute into
the house, and was horrified to
find so mutilated as to be al¬
most beyond recognition. He
liopes that with care he may be
able to it cover. The following
morning search was made rof
remained of the once faithful
trailer, the savage beast having
feasted upon the body to that
extent.
The question has been finally
decided by the state supreme
court and Madison will have no
public schools—until - another
election.
There is a child in Athens,
son of a Methocist minister, who
has six grandmothers, forty un¬
cles and seventy five cousins
living and enjoying good health.
A resident of Thomaston has
a dining table that has been in
the family for 130 years and
upon which his great-grand¬
mother’s wedding dinner was
set.
In a personal difficulty near
Schlatterville, Pierce county,
Monday night N. W. Martin was
seriously cut by Allen Crews,
who was under the influence of
liquor.
The foundations are being
laid for the new opera house on
the west side of the public
square at Elberton. This hand¬
some building will adorn that
portion of the town which has
been unimproved since the fires
of 1878.
Thomaston Times: One of
our cleverest citizens and most
enterprising merchants unintion
ally perpetrated a joke upon
himself one night not long since
that is too good to be lost. He
has a barley lot upon which
some of his neighbors’ cows
had been raiding until forbear¬
ance had ceased to be a
with him. As he was
ing from supper to his store
again found some cows in
grazing lot. Hurrying up
he directed the marshal do
up the offending cattle,
them and hold them them
the proper fee was paid as
quired by the law made
such 'cases. This the
did, and next morning collected
81 from the merchant for his
own cows that he had ordered
taken up
Americus Recorder: One day
last week a well-known farmer
of sumter county set a rat trap
to catch, if possible, a ^rouble
some Tat, and placed it under
the wardrobe without mention¬
ing it to his wife, and then
came to town. Soon after his
departure, his wife, while ar¬
ranging things in the room, and
while sweeping under the ward¬
robe, struck an object that
would not yield to the presure.
She at once thrust her head un¬
der to extract the object, when
the trap closed on her hand. No
one being near, her screams for
help were not heard, and there
she sat until her husband re¬
turned home and released her
from prison. Like all other
women, she fainted dead away
as soon as released. The old
man was terribly frightened,
but soon revived his wife.
