A BOLD ROBBERY.
Two Negroes “ Go Through” a White Man
On the Public Highway.
lIIE ROBBERS ARRESTED AND IMPRISONED IN
CLARKE COUNTY JAIL.
Several of our citizens were startled some
what on Saturday evening last, as were a
great many others on Sunday morning, by
the announcement that two young negroes,
named respectively Pete Moon and Jim
Moore, both living in Jefferson, had commit
ted a most daring and bold highway robbery
on the person of Mr. Johnson Freeman, an
old and worthy citizen, who lives some three
and a half miles from town, down on the road
to Athens. The circumstances attending
this outrage—which for its boldness exceeds
anything that has taken place in these parts
for many years—are in substance, and briefly,
these :
It appears that Mr. Freeman, who is under
the medium stature of many of his fellow
men and also well advanced in years, had
brought some cotton to JefTerson during the
day Saturday—sold it, and received his pay.
Having occasion to purchase some article of
merchandize, Mr. F. went into the store of
Messrs. Pendergrass & Hancock for this pur
pose ; and having found and bought what he
desired, in paying for the goods lie acciden
tally displayed the contents of his pocket
book to the gaze of one or both the negroes—
who, it appears, were either in the store or
very close by. This incident took place in
the afternoon ; some little time after which,
Mr. Freeman, having got through with his
business in town, started on his way home.
The negroes either went ahead or followed
close in the rear of their victim until they
readied a point in the road about 2\ miles
from Jefferson, in a “ flat” between two hills
over which the road passes. Here they ac
costed Mr. Freeman, asking him various
questions—whether he did’nt have some mo
ney ? could’nt he change five dollars ? and
did’nt he have some whisky ? &c., &c. To
all of these questions he answered respect
fully, and then told the negroes to go about
their business and let him alone. They, at
this juncture, did “go about their business,”
but that “ business” was not exactly to “let
the old man alone.” They had already stop
ped his horse, and now they seize him—one
on each side—and make a dive with their
hands at his pockets, from which, in less time
than it takes to relate it here, they abstracted
his pocket-book, and with a “ whoop e-e” of
delight dash off into the surrounding woods
—leaving the frightened and bewildered old
gentleman in the road.
The negroes retraced their steps and were
soon back in town, and then commenced
spending their ill-gotten gains. This circum
stance proved in the end, the main “feather
that broke the camel's back.”
Mr. Freeman kept on hisjouruey homeward,
and getting two or three friends to accompa
ny him, came hack to town and made com
plaint to the proper authorities, and it was not
long before tiie Marshal, Mr. Hill Randolph.
Jr., assisted by some other gentleman whose
names we have not learned, succeeded in
arresting Jim Moore—on whom, from circum
stances already hinted at, and others not ne
cessary to mention, suspicion rested from the
first. At a later hour in the night, Fete
Moon was arrested ; being found asleep in
the house occupied by his father, and his
share of the money being taken from his
pocket before waking him.
Mr. Freeman’s pocket-book, at the time of
the robbery, contained about eleven dollars.
The robbers had divided their booty, and all
the money, except about two dollars, was
found on their persons, l’ete Moon confess
ed the crime at once, Jim Moore, however,
told several stories before making a clear
acknowledgment.
After a “ preliminary” before Judge Pitt
man, on Monday, the two highwaymen were
committed to jail in default of SIOOO bail,
which was required of each for his appear
ance at the next term of the Superior Court.
The “old jail” here not being deemed safe,
they were taken by Sheriff Hunter and Dep.
Worsham, to the jail at Athens, on Wednes
day last, for a more sufficient keeping.
All things considered, this was a bold
stroke of these two worthies ; and although
there is not much said about it publicly, or
any undue excitement evinced, yet, thinking
and reflecting men are inquiring “whither
are we drifting ?” The out croppings of this
deviltry is to be seen in the idleness, the de
bauchery and licentiousness pervading cer
tain classes. Let the remedy be applied.—
Let Grand Jurors and all paid and sworn
officers discharge their duties faithfully and
fearlessly. In the meantime, our advice to
all is—“ Watch !”
Credit is due Mr. Randolph, the Marshal,
and those assisting him. for the manner in
which they discharged the “ duties of the
hour” on this occasion.
More “Colored” Freaks.
About the same time that Pete Moon and
Jim Moore were making their “raid” on Mr.
Freeman’s pockets last Saturday, it appears,
from the Athens Georgian , that five more of
their “brethren” who were drunk, met Peter
Simpkins, an old colored man and his wife
on the public road, insulted them, knocked
the old woman down, and took a basket and
contents from them. At this stage of the
difficulty, Messrs. James and Alonzo King
appeared and took the part of the defenceless
old couple. The drunken negroes grasped
fence rails and made fight. Mr. A. L. King
was badly bruised on the left arm during the
melee and is now compelled to carry his arm
in a sling. No other casualities, so far as
we have heard. Three of the negroes run
and have not since been heard from. Sheriff
Browning arrested two of them and has them
safe in the county Jail.

New Goods at Mr. F. M. Bailey’s.
Stepping into the store of the above named
gentleman the other da}’, we found all hands
busy in arranging and opening anew stock
of goods just arrived from some of the distant
mercantile marts. Of course, our friends are
too busy to write an advertisement this week,
hence we speak for them, briefly.
Harmony Grove.
A short communication from an esteemed
correspondent in the above village, will be
found in this issue. e thank him, and hope
to hear from him often. \Vc want to see every
body and everything in Jackson county flour
ish as the “green bay,” and from the deepest
recess of our “true inwardness” we heartily
wish success to Harmony Grove and its en
terprising citizens. And further—let us get
“closer together by having a mail route es
tablished at once, between the two “cities.”
Stanley & Pinson
Not to be behind their neighbors, have been
opening new goods now for several days, and
Tor fear that the election with its anticipated
results will make such an impression on the
minds of our two friends that they will fail
to think of advertising, we volunteer to let
the people know that they can be accommo
dated at this firm with anything usually kept
outside the “big cities.”
The “Safety” Lamp Burner.
The above is the name we have given to
anew burner which was shown us sometime
since by Rev. W. W. Oslin, of the Watkins
v;lie Circuit. The advantages of this little
piece of mechanism, is. that it obviates al!
necessity for taking off or blowing down the
chimney of the lamp to put it out. Again,
it is so constructed that, should the lamp
fall down or turn over, it puts “itself out,”
and thus renders an explosion out of the
question. Mr. W. was in our town on Mon
i day last, and left with us a limited number
| of these burners, which we will take pleasure
in exhibiting to any one wishing to purchase.
! Call and examine for yourselves. Frice 50
cents.
Extra Nice Apples.
To Mr. 11. C. Appleby, some few miles
above Jefferson, we are indebted for a lot of
the nicest and best flavored apples that we
have tasted for a long time. Mr. A. has no
name for these apples; he found an old tree
or two on his place and on testing the good
quality of the apples, commenced grafting
from them, and now has several—perhaps a
good many—trees of. this particular kind.
They are certainly superior as an “eating”
apple.
W. J. Colquitt, Esq., also handed us a few of
the best specimens of the Shockley apple we
have ever seen. Mr. C. has made a large crop
this year, and is shipping to various sections ;
he no doubt, will realize handsomely from
his orchard this year. Better than cotton at
present prices and present surroundings.
More Syrup.
Mr. Taylor Roberts, of this “precinct,”
handed us a sample of Syrup on Tuesday
last, with the rcmtirk—“lf you beat this I’ll
send you a gallon.” On the same da}’, and
not long afterwards, Mr. J. M. Harmon, who
lives near “Cooper,” handed in to the News
office three samples made by Mr. W. S. Ro
gers, who lives on the extreme east of this
county. Mr. Rogers, though living some
what remotely, has made 2019 gallons this
year, and as Mr. Harmon informs us, is most
conveniently fitted up for the purpose. His
mill and all his fixtures are under cover, in a
house, as it were. From Mr. Harmon, we
learn that Mr. Rogers is regarded as a most
successful manipulator of the Sorghum cane,
and is held in high estimation by those for
whom he has worked—embracing a large
number of citizens in the Distriots of New
town, Nowhere, Pocotally and Harmony
Grove. After testing the samples sent we
shall be better prepared to give an opinion
as to the merits of Mr. Rogers’ syrup. The
samples given us were made from cane grown
by Mrs. Jane White, Mrs. Hardeman and Mr.
R. McGuinnis.

The Presidential Election .
The news by the mail Friday, through the
daily papers, is favorable to the election of
Tilden and Hendricks. While we understand
dispatches were received in Athens, Thurs
day night, favorable to the election of Hays
and Wheeler. And, according to report, a
full Democratic delegation goes to Congress
from Gergia. and Tilden’s majority is put
down at 75.000 in the State.
Later. — 2£ o’clock, p. m., Friday.—Col.
J. A. B. Mahaffey, just from Athens, informs
us that Tilden is elected beyond a doubt.—
“ A 9olid South,” with Indiana and New

which renders the election of Hampton cer

UiPThe “whistle” of the locomotive on the
Northeastern Railroad could be plainly heard
in Jefferson on Tuesday night. Others may
have heard it before, but it was new to us;
and we could only account for it, theoretically,
from the fact that a good many of our sub
scribers had called in and “paid up” on Tues
day during the day.
