Agreeable to promise, we give below a
history of the crime, trial and conviction of
George Brown, the man who killed A. D.
Jenkins, and for whose life so many men are
now pleading before the governor.
thk HISTOUT OF t«* kuxpexx*.
About the first of last September a tall,
athletic, open-faced fellow came into Mari
etta in the quest of work. He stood over
six feet in hb stockings, and was a splendid
physical specimen of a man. He gave hb
name as George Brown, but gave nothing of
hb history previous to the time of hb
reaching Marietta. He was not so much
reticent when questioned as he was without
acquaintances, and consequently had no
one trying to pry Into hb past life. He
secured work in*shop,and was soon pretty
well known as a good workman, but not a
very steady one.
He drifted into the crime for which he b
undersentence in a peculiar manusr. There
was living in the country near Marietta an
old couple named Jenkins, who Lad a son,
Daniel. Thb son was, it is said, married
and living in Atlauta. He b represented as
being a worthless kind of fellow, and wi
arrested and carried before Judge Clark's
court on the charge of cheating and swind
ling. He was convicted and sent to the
chain-gang. He escaped from the custody
of the keeper, and skipped the county. He
was heard of frequently In the neighbor
hood of where hb parents lived, and finally
Brown determined to kee if he could not
arrest him and get the reward that was of
fered for hb recapture. He therefore called
on the sheriff'and asked if lie had the right
to make the arrest without having a
warrant or without being specially
deputized to do so. The sheriff replied
that he would, but ordered him to wait a
few days and see if it was all right "before
he went into it. In a few days the sheriff
I have just receiv-
met him and said, 44 you was right about
that man;’* and added,

escaped convict, and Asking me to ar
rest him.’ Thereupon Brown determined
to go and catch bis tuau. He secured a
horse and wagon and drove out to where
Jenkins lived. As he drew near the house
he stopped hb wagon, got a negro to hold
hb horse, and went to the Iiouse by himself.
When be had reached the door he hoard the
sound of a violin within. He entered sud
denly and found himself
FACE TO FACE WITH THE MAW
as trying to arrest. Daniel was sitting
trunk, and his father and mother were
standing near by. As Brown entered, ne
shut the door behind him hastily and
locked it. As lie turned the old man asked
him to sit down. He replied: "No; I want
‘ see Daniel.”
At thb point the only two accounts of the
tragedy differ. Mrs. Jenkins, the mother of
the slain man, (and it wa* her testimony
that was taken by the jury) says that Brown
entered the room with his pistol in his
band, holding it out in front of bin

dow. Brown ran hurriedly out of the house
and met Daniel as he was standing half
hidden on the west end of the house. He
called ont:
‘I am going to shoot you!” At thb Daniel

—e mother, screansci!, "Lord liave mercy!”
Almost instantly Brown, who Was standing
with hb pistol near Daniel’s head, fired, and
Daniel fell. She says her son was looking
towards her when he was shot, holing his
hands out in a beseeching way. As he fell
she ran out and lifted 1

thb queer case.
THE STATE OF FEELING
Cobb county was intense. The governor
stated that he had neve/ seen just such a
popular excitement before. It seemed that
the whole people had risen and determined
that nothing must be left undone to save
Brown’s life. Judge Lester said that the
ladies were a<

wards and told uer to shut her mouth. He
then called for a bandage and commenced
running his fiuger into the gliastly wound
in the head. A bandage was brought, and
Brown tied up Jenkins’s head. He wanted
to carry the wounded man off with him,
bnt finally desisted and left alone. Help
was summoned, but Jenkins died soon after.
Brown went into town and gave himself up
to the sheriff The above was the state
ment of the old lady, to which she stoutly
adhered during the whole trial.
It was opposed simply by Brown’s own
statement, in which he saiu that as he ad
vanced on Jenkins outside of the house,
Jenkins started to rush on him. and ex
claiming, "G—dd—n you, I will kill you!”
put his hand in hb pocket as if he was go
ing to draw a weapon. At this Brown says
he fired quickly in self-defense, and Jen
kins fell. These were the two statements.
There were two circumstances that bore
agaiust Brown, and these were that Jenkins
was shot in the back of the head, ur d toe
other was that he had no wea|*>n on his
in when lie fell. At any rate, tbe jury
Mrs. Jenkins’s statement as true, and
Brown was found guilty of murder.
THIS CONVICTION WAS MADE
within a few days of the murder, when there
was considerable prejudice existing. Since
then, the liearing of the prisoner, the devel-
?nt of certain facts, and the mystery
hung about hb former life—all com
bined to excite an unusual interest in him.
As those who became interested investiga
ted the case, they say they found that the
man was about to be unjustly hung. They
thereupon determined to try to save him.
The pnsouer did not have a dollar, and no
liopes of any. He would not disclose the
tlie name of hb people, or their where
abouts, and consequently could look for no
aid. Everything tliat was done in hb.favor,
therefore, was purely voluntary.* At
length, the feeling iu the 6>mmunity de
veloped into the sending of the heavy dele
gation of petitioners aud lawyers down to
tbe governor on Wednesday.
TUb delegation went to work in a most
systematic way aud built up a case wonder
fully strong, and entirely different from the
case presented to the jury. Iu the first
place they broke down Mrs. Jenkins’s testi
mony. To do this tbev introduced Rev. A.
G. Dempsey, who declared that he would
not believe her on oath. He gave certain
information in regard to her diameter
that had fallen under hb personal
knowledge—one of which was tliat
she tried to get him to marry
hersoii toa woman in Cobb county while he
had a wife living in AtlantA Mr. John H.
way introduced, who swore that Mr.
s told him that from the position hb
wife occupied at the time of the killing it
was impossible for her to have seen t*
shooting—or to have heard what ]o*sed.
Mr. Frank E. Block, of tlib city, was then
introduced and stated tliat some time ago
this Daniel Jenkins came to his house early
one morning, weeping profusely and in a
stale of the most abject misery. He told
Mr. Block that lib baby had just died, and
that he did uot have the money with which
to
BUT IT A SHItorD OB A COFFIN,
and asked Mr. Block to lend him enough for
this purpose. Mr. Block did so, and then
ng down town, discovered that the man
I never had any child, and. of course, did
not need money to buy a coffin with. He
had him arrested for cneatingand swindling.
On tlie trial, hb mother came to Atlanta
and swore in the most positive manner that
her son wss with her in Cobb county on the
day he was alleged to have been* at M r.
Block's. Thb testimony was flatly dis
proved by Mr.-Block, and by one or two
policemen who knew Jenkins well,and who
had seen biia in Atlanta on that day.
In the last place, they produced* a dia
gram to show that it was iraj«o3*il>le for
Mrs. Jenkins to have seen the ahooiiug.

talk with Professor Beck proved that
t!»ere will be no want of energy in maintain
ing and improving an institution which b of
tbe greatest value to north Georgia and to
he eutire state.
It b hoped that in July the legislature
will make amp e provision for refitting tbe
college, aud thy the excellent corps of pro
fessors may find means to continue the
work without interruption, though they
doubtless labor under great disadvantages
in their temporary quarters.
Professor Beck expects to be at hb post
again by tbe 1st of February.
We wish him grfeat success in hb mission,
and believe tliat he will meet with generous
sympathy among all friends of education
and science.

SHEKirr STEVENS'S STATEMENT.
Sheriff Stevens zays that
asking about hb power b
rest Jenkins, Brown was quite |*orticu-
lar as to hb rights in the premises. He
seemed to be anxious to keep within tlie
law. He declined to take a pistol out firm,
saying that be would have no trouble, and
could hold him if he tried to get sway. At
length he look the pistol just as a manner
of intimidation in case a display of force
as needed. Mr. Stevens savs that be has
no idea Brown meant to kill Jenkii
thinks Brown just drew hb pistol, and
—H ,,
when Jenkins started-to rush on him raised
it himself and fired without thinking. He
accounts for tbe wound being in the back
of tbe head by lb« presumption that Jen
kins turned hb head when be saw the pis
tol.
It was proved also that tbe acquaintance
between tbe men was purely nominal, and
that there could have been no feeling of
malice or enmity. Brown discussed with
the sheriff the best method of
prisrner while in the
nad finally determined tc
bv pinning him down with hb _
He told the sheriff thb before going.
As it was proved that he vras not drinking,
and had no malice, and no purpose to k 11,
or object in killing, it was held that it was
evidently not hb intention to kill Jenkins,
sad that it was dooe cither accidental*
through a feel ing of self-defense. They

Atlanta on behalf of Brown, and then sent
him out into the cold two hours ahead of

tale of distress, and said that there .were
five hundred people who would have
come down yesterday had not a dispatch
from Judge Lester quieted them. Tlie tele-
omce was besieged all day, until
_ Lester telegraphed Sheriff Stevens to
suspend the preparations to hang Brown,

the attempt to build the gallows.
The sheriff offered a carpenter a
certain sum to make it. A gentleman
immediately stepped up and offered him
double the sum not to make it. It would
have been difficult to have carried out tlie
death sentence had the governor determined
not to interfere. We understand it had
been determined to call the local militia
out, but calliug don’t always fetch, for Alice
attempted ta "call spirits from the
„ Jeep.” Thefeelin

doubtless bare been carried out if it had
been so ordered, it must have been a lively
time in MariettA
TUB OOVEENOE DETERMINED TO COMMUTE.
It b known positively that the governor
will commute the sentence of Brown to im
prisonment of life. It b even said that
udge Lester carried the order of com muta
tion u|>to Marietta with him last night. Be
this as it may, it is dead certain tliat Brown
will not hang to-day, but that tbe governor
will interfere and save him. We shall
probably be able to give the full particulars
of the order in the morn

said that the favorable* decision had been
reached when Judge Lester telegraphed at

lowing condensed statement of this fire,
which was truly a
GREAT CALAMITY
one of the moat prosperous little cities in
the state:
Our beautiful city was visited on Wednes
day night by the fire fiend in all his fury
and dire destruction followed in his path.
The night was cold, and damp and peaceful
citizens were sleeping soundly, uudisiurbed
by any thought or fear of the dread calami
ty tliat way impending, when about the
hour of three o'clock in tlie morning the
dreadful cry of fire sounded on the air and
soon after the bells gave forth the alarm in
t^nes which aroused every man, woman
and child in the city. At first it was almost
impossible to tell the exact location of the
fire but soon a lurid light and heavy smoke
» seen issuing from the building, known
tlie Candler-Henderaon building, one of
tbe best in the city, on the north side
of the square.
Above the store in the second story there
were five or six law offices, the printing
office of the North Georgian, the tailor shop
of Mr. J. F. Schaub and the sleeping room
of Mr. J. O. Wynn. From all we can gath-
of the beginning of the fire, Mr. Wviin
was about the first person aroused, by the
heat and smoke coming into hb room 'from
tbe burning store below. When he got out
of bed tlie floor was so hot that he could
not stand on it, and barely had time to
her up his clothiug from a chair by the
. bide and rush out of the room. Heroic
and persevering work triumphed, however,
and the destruction way stayed with the
burning of the five buildings before men-
‘oned. with the larger part of the contents.
We ha\ e not beeu able to get an entirely
correct estimate of all the losses, nor the
amount of insurance each person had, but
believe the following will approximate the
result:
Mr. W. G. Henderson, three brick build
ings, $4,009. No insurance.
Colonel A. D. Candler, brick building,
$2,500, Insurance, $1,000.
Mr. A. J. Comer, stock of goods, $3,500.
Insurance, $1,000.
Mr. L. H. Johnson, stock of goods, $2,500.
Insured in full.
Mrs. II. N. Ware, millinery, etc., $150.
Mr. J. T. Hargrove, frame store-room and
stock of goods, $4,000. Insurance, $1,000, and
some goods saved.

goods, $500. No insurance.
MarlerA Perry, law office, library and

ing. $400. No insurance.
George K. Loo per, law office, books and

J. F. Schaub, tailor shop, clothing, etc.,
$300. No insurance.
Dr. Bradley, J. F. Langston and others,
$1,000 damages.
This is the third time in less than three
years tliat our city has been a loser by fire
and it certainly shows that we need some
better fire apparatus than the little hook
and ladder wagon now in use.

Special dispatch to The Constitution.
Bellton. G*., January 11.—Our usually
quiet town was. on Thursday morning,
thrown into I fever of excitement by the
announcement of the killing of John N.
Wilson at the raw-mill of B. G. Lindsay A
Co., about three miles above here on the
Air-Line railway. The circumstances of
the homicide are, as near as we can ascer
tain, about as follows:
There was a certain Mrs. Smith who did
the cooking for the white hands of the
mill, and who lived in one end of a double
bouse built of logs, the other being used as
a commissary for the mill. M. S. Garner,
one of the partners in the mill, and James
B. Garrison, the sawyer, believed that Mra.
Smith bad been stealing from the commis
sary and set about to devise a plan by which
she might be got rid of without trouble.
As Mr. IJiidray. the other partner, had the
utmost confidence in the honesty of Mrs.
Smith, and would notallow her discharged,
they had to
RESORT TO STRATAGEM.
The deceased, Mr. Wilson, was the fire
man at the mill and was sleeping iu the
commissary on the night of the tragedy.
The plan was that Garrison should go to the
back window of the room occupied by Mrs.
Smith, with some cans of oysters and a hat,
while Garner was to arouse Wilson and tell
him some one was in Mrs. Smith’s room
and have him go to the backw in-
dow where Garrison was waitini
when Garrison upon the appruacl
: his
«- j—and
en route, while Gamer was to halt
Garrison and fire his pistol in the air to
create the impression that he was a genuine
thief. It seems that Wilson approached
Garrison sooner |han was expected, and
struck Garrison with a stick on the arm
and shoulder of Ahe hand in which he
held the pistol, and in Garrison’s haste to
get away the pistol was discharged, the ball
entering wjlson’s left breast.
going downward ' through the heart, and
killing him almost instantly. Mr. Gamer
fired his pistol as Garrison passed, and sup
posed Wuson would join him in the pur
suit, when, to liissurprise, upon returning
he found him dead. He immediate!v
aroused M^s. Smith, Miles and Lankersly,
two white gentlemen in a shanty near by,
and gave tne alarm, and went to the shanty
of Garrison, where he found him in bed as
it was agreed between them he should be,
when Wilson and Gamer should return
from chasing the supposed thief. He im
mediately told Garrison what he had done,
when in loud lamentations he gave vent to
his feelings of regret and sorrow for the act.
They then repaired to the place of homicide,
earned the body ioto tlie house and laid it out
as best they could, and sent as soon as day
light for the coroner and justice of tlie peace
in order that the proper legal steps might
be taken in the premises. When the jus
tice arrived Mr. Garrison immediately gave
himself up and was placed in custody.
THE INQUEST
was held on the body of the deceased yes
terday, and the iury returned a verdict that
Wilson came to his death by a pistol shot in
the hands of Garrison, and a farther verdict
that he was willfully and maliciously killed
and murdered by the said Garrison, with
Gamer as principal in the second degree.
The coroner thereupon issued his warrant
against the said Garrison and Gamer
for murder. Sheriff Suddeth, of Banks,
being upon tlie ground, they were imme
diately placed in his charge. They were
this morning brought before J. P. Echols,
J. P.. and by Arnold, of counsel, waived ex
amination and gave bond in the sum of five
hundred dollars each to ap]>ear at tlie
next superior court of Banks
county to answer the charge
involuntary manslaughter. J. B.
Estes conducted the examination on the
;<ir; of the Mate, and W. P. Price and \V. F.
Findley representing tbe defense, itap-
pears that Wilson was not let into the plot
of Gamer and Garrison, for the reason tliat
Lindsay Itad the utmost confidence in
-jtion
seeing a thief.run from the'window, and
would then be convinced of her dishonesty
and send tier adrilt Mr. Wilson was a
sober, high-toned. Christian gentleman, and
they feared if their plan was made known to
him lie would not go into it. and by ini|»os-
. _ oulil, iu the utmost good
faith, tell Lindsay what he saw. Mr. Wil
son was highly respected in the community,
and leaves a wife and nine children to
mourn his loss. Garrison resides in Atlanta,
where his family now are, and is a
hard-working man. Gamer lives in Buford,
and tor high character and Christian integ
rity no man siuihLy fairer. The affair Hay
cast a gloom over the whole community.
The deceased and Garrison and Gamer were
the closest pet»u«k(d friends, and they more
deeply regret the occurrence than any oth
ers possibly could and will probably never
cease to mourn the fate of their friend,
bom they innocently caused to come to
his untimely eud. F.

Virginia’* Public Debt.
Richmond, January 11.—The house to
day, after three days discussion, adopted
the senate resolution providing for a con
ference with the creditors of the state. The
preamble, however, way amended so as to
set forth the impracticability of increA«ing
the present rate of taxation’in the further
ance of any plan of settlement to be de
cided on by said conference, but expressing
an anxiety to do all consistent with what is
believed to be the iuteresi of the state and
her creditors, and to adjust the differences
existing between the proposition made by
the general Assembly at tbe last session and
several propositions pow before that body

farming season m the south begins early in
February, and the rush of emigrants has
been greater for the last few weeks on that
account A colony of about a dozen fam
ilies, mostly from Brooklyn, is to start for
western Texas next week.
Along the line of the Florida railroad
from Femandina and Cedar Keys is a broad
tract of land which is being settled t
by people from the north. Most
lands in this tract are owned by the Florida
land and immigration company, of which
Edward N. Dickerson, of this city, is the
president Agents for the company in the
north sell land to emigrants by means of
warrants, and settler? have the privilege of
selecting their own farms from any of the
company’s lands which are unoccupied.
Nearly two hundred families have gone to
these lands from the port of New York
since last autumn. Of these many were
residents of this city, but the majorii v went
from other portions of the state. In con
versation with a reporter recently,
B* T. Smith, the northern
agent of the company, said:
•‘Thereare three classes of person who m
from the north to live in Florida. 1
hugest is the laboring class—the thrifty
workingmen who have saved sonic money,
bat who do not see any chance of baying
homes of their own in a northern city.
They go to Florida, buy a small farm at the
rate of $L25 an acre, and begin to raise veg
etables. Many of them live in tents until
they can build houses. The mildness of
tbe climate allows them to do thb very
comfortably. Before 'long they will
have nice houses and barrts. surrounded
with orange groves. Another large
ejass is composed of persons in moderate
circumstances, who have been crowded out
of business in the city. They take with
them enough money to purchase farms and
build houses. The third class is composed
of persons of considers le mea s, who go to
plant largo orange groves or to live in a inild
climate. Consumptives and persons who
suffer from rheumatism find the climate of
Florida congenial to their health. Wealthy
men who have traveled in Florida qften re
turn there to live and to cultivate large
farms.”
The large areas of rich but uncultivated
land in Texas attract many northern fam
ilies. The fields, over which great herds of
wild cattle roam, are capable of being
transformed into fruitful farms. The sou
is much mor$ fertile than that of northern
lands, and the climate is not only favorable
for the raising of every kind of farm pro
duce, but it is also healthful and pleasant
Land is ay cheap as it is abundant The
building of railroads through the state and
the formation of land and farm associations
have placed the hitherto undevelojted re
sources of Texas within the reach of north
ern workingmen. The International and
Great Northeastern railroad company offers
various inducements to immigrants who
settle on lands in western Texas along the
line of its road. The immigrants’ home,
at Palestine, is under the control of the
comi>any and is intended ay an expensive
boarding-place for families while husbands
and tv there are looking about for permanent
homes. The company has agents in this
city who direct families to Texas and aid
them in the search for farms. Many fami
lies who have gone from New York over this
road have settled on lands which are rented
by Texas lond owners. The terms of rent
ing lands in Texas are such as to give to in
dustrious poor men opportunities for earn
ing farms of theia own. When the
landlord furnishes the land and
improvements only, and the ten
ant the tools, team and provisions, the
landlord receives one-fourth to one-third of
the orop. When everything necessary to
making the crop is furnished by the land
lord he receives one-half of the profits. The
‘Texas farm association” rents lands on
these terms, and the agent of the association
in this city has sent about 150 families to
Texas since last summer. These families
were all advised to take with them os much
their household furniture ns possible.
__miliar articles, it is said, would keep
children from becoming homesick. Special
reductions in the cost of sending
furniture to Texas was made to
settlere. The Galveston, Harris
burg and' San Antonio Railroad company
offers lands for sale in southern and western
Texas. A system of yearly payments, after
the first year, has been adopted os one most
convenient for poor settlers.
The western immigration'and agricultural
assocUuion, which has its office iu this city,
is offering homes iu New Mexico along the
line of a projected railway. Monthry pay
ments for farms are being made by work
ingmen in this city, who intend to move os
soon as the railroad is completed. From
careful surveys which have been made by
the association, the purchaser of a
form is able to select his
piece of land before he leaves
the city. The association also engages to
fence these farms, build houses on them
and provide them with cattle and farming
implements during the time that the pay
ments are being made. A farm of twenty
acres, provided with everything except
household furniture, is sold in this manner
for $200. The number of workingmen i
this city who are availing themselves of this

persons, I thiuk this is the proper time to
offer inducements in prices (when the peo

New York Tribune.
Every year, while hundreds of persons .
are leaving country homes to help swell the I
tide of city life, many families are going 1
away from New York and Brooklyn to seek I
homes in distant and newly settled portions 1
of the country. Travel to the west and to
several of the southern states has become so
general that it would be difficult to esti
mate the number of persons who search for
permanent residence there. To the great
southwest and to Florida emigration is
accomplished mainly, as vet, through
land and agricultural associations. Un
usual activity has been noticed among these
associations recently, and the number of
their customers is increasing rapidly. The
steamships to Florida and Texas and the
railroad fines to western Texas carry small
colonies of workingmen and their families,
who go to cultivate wild lands or to engage
in cattle-raising. Consumptive persons are
going to the far south to seek a healthful
climate, and merchants who find their busi

City of Atlanta,
Stats of Ga., Fulton Co.
To all whom it may concern:
The following is a true statement of facts
concerning my case and its treatment by
Major B. M. Woolley, of Atlanta, Ga., viz;
In 18G6 I was severely wounded, and un
der treatment the physicians gave me mor
phine constantly. The result was that it
became necessary for me to continue the
use of opium thereafter, although I tried
faithfully to break the habit by decreasing
the dose. Being a physician of thirty-five
set pi
the use of opiates. I tried half
ledies without the slightest bene-
rer of will and the freo
its, I struggled to keep
the habit from growing stronger, but with
out success. I became a mere walking
skeleton, weighing but 109 pound in Janu
ary, 1878.
Tlie quantity of opiates that I consumed
daily is said to be greater than any one else
has ever been known to take, and is so ex
traordinary that I have written this state
ment after a careful estimate, and verified
the same under oath, in order that any per
son interested may know that this is not a
patent medicine certificate, gotten np for
advertisement, regardless of truth, but a
genuine, reliable statement for the benefit
of other sufferers.
For six months before I began Wool ley’i
antidote, I used morphine and hydrate of
chloral alternately as follows:
Thirty (30) grains of morphine in the
morning.
One hundred (100) grains hydrate of
chloral at noon.
Thirty (30) grains of morphine at sun
down.
One hundred (100) grains of chloral about
ten o’clock.
next morning.
Sixty (60) grains of morphine.
Fifty (50) grains of chloral at noon.
Sixty (GO) grains of morphine at sun
down.
Fifty (50) grains of chloral about ten
o’clock.
Amounting in all to one hundred and
eighty (180) grains of morphine and three
hundred 1300) grains of chloral in forty-
eight (48) hours. I way obliged to augment
the action of the morphine with tlie chloral
in this irregular manner for the reason that
the morphine lost its soporific effect if
taken in regular doses for two consecutive
days. It has been eight months since i bc-
the opium antidote; from the firht day
[•eased to desire opiates of any
kind; I experienced uo |«in nor
inconvenience. I have not taken opiates of
any kind since January 7th, but simply ad
hered to the antidote, until about ’four
weeks ago, when I left off the treatment
without the slightest difficulty. I don’t de
sire either opiate or antidote, have no han
kering or uneasiness—in fact, I seldom
think of either. I am completely cured. I
sleep well, my appetite is good, aud, al
though I am nearly 57 years old, I feel like
a man of 25, and weigh 165 tiounds.

Captain Whitley was bom in North Carolina,
August 5th, 1821. and removed at au early age,
with his parents, to DeKalb county. Georgia.
While yet a young man he married Miss Mary
Riee, of Campqell county, and settled near
Campbell ton. Georgia, where he resided until
three years since, when he removed to Dougiaa-
ville. Early in the lato war ho went into the
army as Captain of a Company In the 35th Geor
gia Regiment, and remained at his post of duty
until declining health compelled him to resign
his commission and come home. He has for
yean held a promient position in the local affairs
of his county, having been several times elected to
the Sheriffalty, which position ho held at the time
of his death. The duties ot every position to
which his people called him were discharged
with honor to himself and credit to his county.
By his energy and.perseverance he had accu
mulated quite a handsome property and had com
fortably settled In life his three children, all of
whom are married. He has, for several years,
been a member of the Baptist church, and died
triumphant in the faith, saying Just before be
lueathed his last: "Allis well with me.” His wife

He leaves a large circle of friends and relatives to
mourn his loss, but their loss is his eternal gain.

An Opium Slave.
Mr. B. M. Woolley, a native of Perry
►unty, was for many years a prominent
citizen and business mini ot Selma, where
he has many friends who will be glad to
hear that be is meeting with a grand ahd
deserved success In his new home at Atlan
ta, Ga., and glad, too, to know that liis suc
cess is in mitigating the sufferings and re
lieving the afflictions of his fellow-men. He
is devoting his entire time (and it is all oc
cupied) in treating the opium habit, and
liis remedies have wrought cures too mar
vellous to be believed if the evidence were
not sufficient to dispel every doubt.
One of the most remarkable cures of any
kind on record b tliat effected by Mr.
Woolley in the case of Dr. A. A. J. Riddle,
of Marengo county, in thb state, a planter
of large means, a gentleman widely known
in thb part of the state, and a physician of
stance.
