ATE MAN of his uncontrolable appetite for the dope. It was in an attempt to sncure more of the drug that he broke into the office of Dr. Hood lett Tuesday and smashed many medicine bottles seeking the solace he craved. EXCEPTIONAL MAN John Culpepper, as he is more commonly known, is declared by physicians of this city to be a physician himself, a man of refinement and fine intellectual attainments.

Judge Worstell of the Athens county common pleas court, Sheriff Parker, and others are endeavoring to find some solution to the problem. The man must be removed from the jail but no place can be found to take him. Efforts may be made Wednesday to have him placed in a tuberculosis ward at the Athens state hospital altho
