Officers who were looking for
escaped convicts from Coal City
camo upon a darkey at C. C. Knox's
near Alpine, last Tuesday,_ who
ran; thus exciting the suspicion
that he was gilty in the minds of the

captured him and started oil with
him, when Mr. Knox identified him
is a negro living on his place.
He was released.
FROM BRONCO.
There is not much news afloat at
present and everything is wrapped
in a mantle of quietude in our
peaceful valley. Colds are preva
lent in our vicinity at this time.
Mrs. C. P. Mclnturf and our clever
postmaster, Mr. T. J. Blackwell,
are among those who are indulging
in the luxury.
Misses Addie Blackwell, Sallie
and Nannie Parker and Mrs. W. C.
Blackwell made a flying trip to
Chattanooga last week over the C.
R. & C.
Mr. Henry Boyles, formerly of
this place but now of Atlanta, was
up on a visit to his father recently.
Mrs. J. Boyles, of Atlanta, who
has been visiting relatives in this
vicinity for the past few weeks, re
turned home last week.
We notice that Mr. G. W. Ran
som makes frequent trips to your
county and returns with his genial
countenance beaming with the
most radiant smiles since basking
in the sunshine of her presence.
Prof. Shattuck’s school has closed
out. He will soon be lost from the
social circles of Bronco. He will
move to LaFayette this fall where
he will engage himself in the study
of law under one of LaFayette’s
most brilliant attorneys, Col. F. W.
Copeland.
Miss Laura Dickson, one of the
most charming young ladies in
North Georgia, went down to the
exposition last week.
Last Thursday after the golden
sun had set behind the western ho
rison and the earth faded in the
gentle, peaceful twilight and when
nature is hushed and all is quiet
and peace repose, Mr. Bob Pickard,
of near LaFayette, and Miss Lula
Espy, of Shinbone, launched their
boat upon the matrimonial waters.
We trust that their barque of exist
ence may glide smoothly over life’s
stream and when the rugged scenes
of life are over enter into the realms
of eternal bliss.
“Willie” is very mute now. It’s
fall though and the green hills are
putting on their golden crowns and
probably his fancies are lightly
turning to thoughts of love.
Bill Smith.
