the trail of crime, indictment and the sentencing of
a criminal was concluded in Bryan County on Monday,
when Judge Paul Caswell meted out the following sentences
to Price.
20 Years for burglary
5 Years for kidnaping the president of the Ludowici
bank.
5 Years for kidnaping the bank presidents wife.
12 Months for breaking out of the Long County jail.
He has been in the Ware County jail since he was
caught, and entered his pleas of guilty last week in Mc-
Intosh Superior Court, and then came to Pembroke today
where he was sentenced as above stated.
His sentence will run concurrently, which means that
he will only have 20 years facing him, and will be given
some time off if he does the right thing while in prison.
He was returned to the Ware County jail at Waycross
where he awaits the order as to where he will serve his
sentence.

Work On Completing 1-95 Is
Moving Forward In Bryan And
Chatham Counties—lt z s A Job
Building the greatest Interstate Highways is a
bigger problem and more costlier than anyone
might imagine. We are pleased to print four
scenes on the site of the construction of the bridge
over the Ogeechee, which will be next to Lanes
Bridge for length in this section of Georgia.
Hundreds of carloads of stone has been unload
ed at Richmond Hill and put into the shoulders of
this huge bridge, which is expected to be one of
the States finest.
There are many of our local people working on
this project, which will go into next year, but
when completed will mean much to all of Coastal
Georgia.
