STATE NEWS. 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.
