A Terrible Bet

of a niau bet his wife against
brownstorie house on the elec

Journal. said Mr.
1^0 I understand,’
Poreydovev.
‘Well.’ exclaimed his wife, in
d^miutiy,‘I think such things
are simply barbarous and ought
to be put & stop to. The idea
of a man cold-bloodedly risk¬
ing his own wife for a L'own
stone House. It is perfectly
awful- Supposing he had lost! ’
‘But lie didn’t lose,’ replied
Mr. Loveydovey: “he won.
And he got the brownstone
house.
“Well, of course,’ assented
the young matron, somewhat
more mildly ( ( that is very
nice. But it would have been
terrible if. he had lost, Still a
brownstone house is lovely.’
‘So it is, my dear. But not
worth the chances of losing a
nice little wife.
‘Oh, no, of course not,’ replied
Mrs, Loveydovey, hastily. But
tell rue, dear, how is the bet
made?’
‘That’s simple enough,’ re¬
plied her husband. ‘Sam Sin¬
gleton owns the brownstone
house opposite, doesn’t he?’
■Yes.’*
Aud I own j ou?’
Yes.’
“Well, I put you up against
the house, If I win I keep you
and get the brownstone house.
If Sam Singletou win lie keeps
his house and gets you.’
‘Then.’ said Mrs. Loveydovey,
wrinkling her pretty brow, ‘I
would go with the brownstone
house, anyway?*
‘Naturally; returned her hus¬
band.
‘Dearie! 1 said Mrs- Loveydov¬
ey, after a few minutes silence.
‘What is it?• asked Mr. Lov¬
eydovey, looking up.
‘Didn't, 1 she asked ehiley,

CONYERS, GA„ SATURDAY, DEC 5 1896.
daughter of Mr. Robert Hester
a well known citizen of Oconee
county.
bile lias the same powers that
were possessed by the famous
Lulu Hurst.
She weighs only 80 pounds,
but in her first public exhibi¬
tion last Thursday night she
would sling strong men around
as if they were toys simply by
placing her hand upon a walk¬
ing cane or any other object
which the men would hold.
A largo bed post would bej
placed upon the floor, She
would place her hand on lop of
it and in spite of the best effortsj
of men weighing 175 to 200 !
pounds it would go dancing
over the stage as if alive.
The combined strength of;
five men failed to hold still a
chair which she would move
with only one hand.
That the powers possessed by
the little girl are wondrful ro
ous who lias seen her in pri¬
vate or public exhibitions will
doubt.
Fannie Hester is a preco
dousgirl. At school she was
always studious and brilliant.
She converses with a degree of
intelligence that, would do cred¬
it to one of twice her age. The
mysterious power of which she
is possessed was only noticed a
few weeks ago and then by
mere accident. Since that time
the people of the county have
flocked to see her and to satisfy
themselves that the exhibitions
are not the result of mechanical
effects or acquired trickery.
Mr. Hester, the father, is one
of the most prominent men in
the county.
Judgment on Kinship,
Mr. Editor: It seems that my
refusal to sign judgments on
kinship got into the grand .jury
room wrong end foremost.
Squire J. W. Almand, his
son-in-law and kin, were heard
there, I presume. I propose to
be heard outside before the peo¬
ple. That was mighty little —
telling the public that I drank
whiskey—that was no news—
everybody knew it.
Squire Almand has the right
to issue a summons for his kin—
there his legal right stops, He
has no right to place the case
on his docket and require me,
as an automan. to sign the
judgment'and fifa, he to collect
all the cost, paying me nothing.
This he has done and his docket
will show that lie owes me
from 10 to 20 dollars for this
Kind of work. This is what I
kicked against. right
Squire Almand has the
to issue the summons, turn the
case over to me, I try it, issue
the judgment and fifa from my
docket, pay him his cost, 35cts,
when collected. I never have
refused to do this. That is all I
will do.
I intended to gjve up the pet¬
ty office but now I will see my
time.
