Last Sunday night about 10

ple had gone to their homes and
the hard rain had passed over,
Night Watchman C. B. Murrah’
was making, his round and discov
ered the rear door ot the fancy
grocery stoie of Leonidas Carter,
standing wide open, and upon fur--
ther investigation it was ascertain
ed that burglars had entered f the
store by a rear window and went
out at the door by removing the
bar on the inside and Lad left the
door open.
Mr. Murrah immediately went
for Mr. Ottis Selman, clerk in the
store, and Deputy Sheriff John
Ward, and they went to the store
and found that the burglars had
effected an entrance By removing
a broken pane of glass from one
of the large rear windows, and
mounting an oil barrel had climb
ed through and secured a small
amount of provisions and fruit and
went by way of the back door.
The stolen goods so far missed
are 100 pounds patent flour, 2
packages of coffee, two buckets of
lard, some candy and apples.
Lights were secured and the
footsteps of two. men were found
around the building and measur
ed. Monday morning one of the
tracks was traced up the street,
through the court house yard and
across the railroad down Chicago
Avenue, near a negro house occu
pied by Alex Staples, where Bud
White, a negro boy well known
about town stays. Dusts of flour
could be seen along the track and
flour was strewn over the porch
of the negro house, which led to
the arrest of Bud White and the
h ouse was searched but . nothing
was found except an apple and a
small piece of candy, and the ne
groes claim this was bought Satur

White was given a hearing before

Those people who think that
Douglasville is an out-of-the-way;
.back wobds town, where you can
go and do any thing you wish, and
no one will ever be the wiser, never
were more mistaken. Douglasville
is a prosperous town with a news
paper and made up of good clever
and enlightened people.
Douglasville should be proud of
her drug store and the proprietor,
Mr. Thomas A. Duke, for he is not
only the most enterprising busi
ness man in our city, but has the
prettiest and most complete drug
store in North- Georgia—pro
nounced so by all traveling men.
Give us more boys like Tommie.
