He says that he is th< prepared to execute any paper that t0I may be legally necessary, so that the a r person or college to which the body an is deeded or assigned will have no wa trouble ir getting it after the execution. He prefers that his body go to a medical college, because he says un he believes it will accomplish more so] good for the public generally.

Calhoun, Ga., March 11.?The next ^ ten years of his life, if he should live so long, will be spent by Andrew King, aged 78, a farmer of this coun- ug ty, on the county chain gang or at ug the State prison farm, for killing his son-in-law, Robert Keel, several . | months ago. t According to the evidence intro-duced in the trial King killed Keel / m< while the latter was at work at a ,, thi sorghum mill, by stabbing him in the T ? - -L - J? Oack. King was arresiea ana piau^u m c in jail, but before the time set for w his trial escape*! and was at large for ? an several weeks. When he was recap- ^ tured he was released under bond, but later was re-arrested on an in- Rl dictment charging him with attempting to murder the little child of the Pr son-in-law whom he had slain. It was shown that King had kicked the child into the fire, declaring en he intended to kill the entire Keel ju family. When arraigned the presid- ye ing judge agreed to give the defend- wi ant a sentence of only ten years on pr the chain gang if he would plead guil- ju: ty to the crimes charged. This the is aged man did and will begin serving st? this week. On account of his age, lc friends of King are seeking to have ho him sent to the prison farm instead of the chain gang. no - ? av DENIED RELEASE ON BAIL.

He sure was a Knight of @ he Sorrowful Figure; a Don Quixote ?& >ure and simple. I never saw poor SC )ick so cast down or crestfallen be- 5c ore. I knew full well that somehing was wrong.

At this critical moment, Dick pulled his hat and with a leap and bound, ( le dashed back the way he came celling "Oh Lord!

At *very jump he made he would yell 'oh Lord," and persons who heard turn affirm that nothing ever went iown that read with greater speed :han poor affrighted Dick. And now bis fellow-workers have added the ignomen "Shoo-fly" to his name, and Dick declared he did fly for a fact. |J He says: "De speret dene de shooIn' en I done de flyin'.
