We don’t see how it is that some

with malice fostered up in their

Going to Marry Her Would
Be Murderer.—Truth
Stranger Than
Fiction,
One of the most interesting ro
mances of Kentucky life, says a
Lexington, Ky., dispatch to the
New York Sun, will soon culmin
ate in the marriage of Oscar Fish
er to Miss Pe?.rl Crouch. Miss
I Crouch lived with her father, Wil
liam Crouch, and her two brothers
nearly grown, in Bourbon county,
in 1895. She had a lover. John
Powers, to whom she was engaged
to be married, which fact was un
known to her father, who had a
violent dislike for Powers. He
forbade him to call, but Powers
paid no heed and visited Miss
Pearl clandestinely. Their tryst
place wvs in the orchard under
a large apple tree.
One day in the early summer of
1895, the father surprised the lov
ers under the tree and drew his pis
tol and attempted to kill Powers.
The young man was too quick for
him, and drawing his pistol, shot
him in the groin. Crouch fell and
j his pistol was taken from him by
: his daughter. Powers assist© 1 in
carrying him to the house and
then left. At first the wounded
man seemed to bo doing well, and
Miss Pearl, believing that he
would recover, set the hour and
day for eloping with Powers to
Aberdeen, where they intended to
get married. Her father learned
of her plans, and it is beleived,
generally, forced his boys to arm
themselves and lie in wait for Pow
ers.
When Powers came to meet his
future wife he got avol’ey of buck
shot in his body, and the girl a
few minutes later stumbled over
his dead body’ in the weeds in the
orchard. Powers was dressed in
his wedding clothes, even to his
kid gloves. His assassination
caused a sensation in Bourbon
county, and the whole Crouch fam
ily’ was arrested for .the crime.
The excitement brought on by the
crime and the arrest of the family
caused the old man to grow rapid
ly worse, a high fever set in, and
in a few days he died. His sons
decided it would be best to break
up housekeeping after they were
acquitted of killing Powers on ac
count of lack of evidence.
Miss Pearl went to Louisville to
live with an aunt. Oscar Swisher,
a young German of that place, fell
madly ih love with the Blue Grass
girl and paid her marked atten-
I tion. She was still mourning for
Powers and her father, and did not
| take kindly to the German’s suit
She told him she did not love him,
but this seemed only to increase
his passion, and one night last
August upon her again refusing to
J marry him, he shot her in the
breast. Thinking he had killed
her, he shot himself in the head.
' The wound did not kill him. The
' girl lingered for months between
■ life and death and finall recovered.
J Swisher was put in jail to await
I the result of her wound, and he
j has been indicted for shooting
I with intent to kill.
1 Miss Crouch, after her recovery,
! fell in love with the man .who at
tempted to murder her, and in
stead of appearing against him in '
court went to the home of a rela
tive in Ripley, Ohio, where she is. i
It is her intention to marry him,
and he will be released soon from
i jail because she declined to prose
i cute him. I pon his release he
will go immediately to Ripley
where the marriage will take
i place.
SUMMERVILLE, CHATTOOGA COUNTY, GEORGIA, MARCH 10, 1897.
A COUNTERFEITER CAUGHT.
The Police of Syracuse Make an
Important Capture.
On Monday the 15th. Harold
Marquisee, of Utica, N. Y., was ar
rested in Syracuse, N. Y., on a
warrant sworn out by the Dr. Wil
liams’ Medicine Co., charging him
with forgery. On the 15th of De
cember Marquisee visited a photo
engraver in Syracuse, saying he was
the representative of the Dr. Wil
liams’ Medicine Co., arranged for
the making of a full set of plates
for the direction sheets, labels, etc.,
of the famous Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills for Pale People. News of this
reached the home office, and no
time was lost in arranging for his
arrest when he should return for
the plates. He returned on the
15th and was accordingly arrested
and is now in jail in Syracuse
awaiting examination, which oc
curs on March 2d.
This arrest proves to be an im
portant one. In addition to va
rious plunder, such as medical
books, typewriters, rugs, etc., found
in Marquiseo’s trunk when arrest
ed, the police also found counter
feit coin both in the trunk and on
hiS person: and in a search of his
apartments at Utica found a com*
plete outfit for counterfeiting con
sisting of crucibles, bellows, nickel
lead, bismuth, antimony, a small
blacksmith forge, a charcoal fur
nace, and several plaster-of-pans
molds. The United States mar
shals want him just as soon as the
Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co. are
through with him, and, no doubt,
he will be sentenced for a long pe
riod.
In selecting Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills for his counter feiting opera
tions, he showed his knowledge of
the proprietory medicine business;
for these pills are in such great de
mand that they are easily sold at
any drug store in the United States.
His scheme was to work the coun
try druggists and sell his imita
tions at a discount of from 2 per
cent, to 5 per cent., explaining the
reduced price by the fact that he
had picked them up in small lots
and at a discount from dealers who
were overstocked. By working fast
and making long jumps, he would
have secured many hundreds of
dollars in a short time. The pro
prietors of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills
are most fortunate to have caught
the rogue, before he had fairly
started, and to have thus kept these
spurious goods out of the market.
How to Cure a Severe Cold.
A few weeks ago the editor was
taken with a very severe cold that
caused him to be in a most misera
ble condition. It was undoubtedly
a bad case of la grippe and recog
nizing it as dangerous he took im
mediate steps to bring about
speedy cure. From the advertise
ment” of Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy and the many good recom
mendations included therein, we
concluded to make a first trial of
the medicine. To say that it was
satisfactory in its results, is put
ting it very mildly, indeed. It
acted like magic and the result was
a speedy and permanent cure. — ,

THE UNKNOWN
Hero Who Fills a Soldiers
At Allatoona.
-A CONFEDERATE OFFICER.
•
An Interesting Exlpanation
Os a Mystery of The
Late War.
Renewed interest has been arous
ed in the “Lone Soldier’s Grave”
at Allatoona, by recent publica
tions in regard to the identity of
the unknown hero, notably among
which was a letter from Hiram P.
Bush, of the 29th Alabama, pub
lished in the Atlanta Journal, and
which the Marietta Journal misin
terpret as identifying the lone
grave as that of his brother Colum
bus Franklin Bush.
The Courant American has been
furnished the following, whic h
while it does not give name, iden
tifies the grave as that of a con
federate lieutenant, towit:
“The Lone Soldiers Grave at Al
iuiooE, Ga., situated at ure ROTth
and of Allatoona Pass close to the I
west side of the track of the W. &
A. railroad contains a confederate
lieutenant. He was aide de camp
on Gen. Joe Johnston’s staff. He
was killed on the 25th of May 1864.
ate in the afternooon, while car
rying dispatches from one wing of
the confederate army to the other.
At this time the left wing of the
confederate army was concentrated
about New Hope church, and the
line of defense at Kennesaw was
taking shape. Ho was a very fine
looking young man, about twenty
five years of age, nicely dressed in
the uniform of a lieutenant,
and was alone so far as known. He
accidentally met some of the Ist
division of the 20th corps of Gen.
Williams’ division, then in the ad
vance of that part of the union ar
my along the railroad. He would
not surrender but took the chances
of escape amid a shower of bullets
He was buried where he fell near
the track where the grave was easi
ly and quickly dug in the gravel.
He gave evidence of being a very
brave soldier. This was long be
fore the fall of Atlanta and of
course before the memorable battle
of Allatoona, when the confederate
forces under Gen. French attemp
ted the capture of the union garri
son under Gen. Corse in October.”

Last Sunday was usual service day
at the Presbyterian church here but
no services were held there; the doors
were not opened and will open no
more to welcome the church’s former
Pastor, Rev. W. Milner. His member
ship and union with his churches here
has been severed and transplanted in
the church triumphant above, where
he will rest from his labors; receive the
reward of the blessed and be crowned,
not as our Savior was “with a crown
of thorns,” but with a crown of right
eousness. Bro. Milner was pastor of
the Presbyterian church here 'for a
number of years and was esteemed
very highly by the members for his
Godly walk and many pure traits of
Christain character. They had learned
to love him and the news of his death
was indeed very sad to them; but
would say to them resolve to follow
the teachings of the divine word as he
often exhorted them to do, and to meet
their beloved Pastor in the glory world
where sickness and death is not known.
Bro Milner was a noble Christian, and
a brave soldier in the Christian war
fare, ever ready to defend the cause of
his Master and to instruct the sinner
in the ways to eternal life. He was
always ready to minister to the sick
and speak to the bereaved. And
though he is dead h ; s memory we
cherish, and perchance while his
body returns to the earth from whence
it came, and his spirit in the glory
world be, it may be through, and by,
his preaching and prayers while
here that many may yet be made to
rejoice in the blessings of a crucified
Savior. It is passing strange why one
so useful should be taken from us; but
God doeth all things well and worketh
to the good of those that love him; so
let us not grieve for our beloved and
departed pastor. He is not dead, but
sleepeth the sleep of the blessed.
Asleepin Jesus blessed sleep
From whichnone ever wake to weep.

Spring Catarrh.
Again spring is here. The long,
cold winter with its bluster and
chill, has passed, and has left in
its train innumerab’e victims of
chronic catarrh. They have taken
a great many remedies during the
winter with perhaps temporary re
lief, but a fresh cold has brought
on the symptoms, and, heartsick
and weary of trying, they have con
cluded that there can be no relief
for them. This is a groat mistake ;
and now is the time to rectify
it.
The spring time is the most fa
vorable time of the year to treat
catarrh. There is so much less li
ability to take fresh cold that the
treatment is unimpeded. All old
cases of chronic catarrh should be
gin immediately a course of Po
ru-na as directed in Dr. Hartman’s
books on this disease. There are
so many different phases and
Stages of catarrh that one hardly
knows when* he has it. A great
many people think they £te suffer
ing from something else and huj’e
tried many medicines in vain,
when if they could realize that it
is catarrh and take Pe-ru-na for it
they would improve promptly and
soon recover entirely.
All who desire to learn more of
catarrh should send for a free copy
of Dr. Hartman’s latest book,
which will be sent free by The Pe
