People on Poplar street this morning were very much surprised when they saw two negroes coming down the street at a pace that would have done credit to a race horse and a bailiff with two ropes? iu his band yelling far some bo iy to stop the negroes. The negroes had been arrested for stealing, and Bailiff Ault nian had been sent 'to Maccn to carry them back to Houston county. He tied the negroes together with ropes as he left the police station and he tad not proceeded far when the negroes cut them selves loose and were going down the street at a rapid pace. It seems tnat the mother of cne of the negroes had slipped I up behind the bailiff and given one of the boys a knife and they cut themselves loose. After a long chase bo:h of the negroes were captured. One was caught by a far mer from the Warrior district and the other was pulled by a policeman. The bailiff was frightened badly and.was very I much excited. He made the negroes secure j again and marched them to the train.

The Fair has moved to 608 Cherry , Street, between Payne & Willing ham’s and McManus & Co.’s furni ture stores, and across the street from The Empire Store, it is a sure enough Fair—-a museum in fact—in which more useful and novel articles | can be found than in any other store | i in Georgia, and at prices that no I other merchant in the South will match. Those who are not familiar with Macon’s most famous retail store will find much to surprise, in struct and entertain them at The Fair.
