We have long believed that our
city authorities ought to provide more
regular and substantial care ior the
cemetery. By employing a regular
.caretafcKL and paying him a regular
salary the cemetery could be kept in
good order all the year round. This
caretaker could be given the duty of
digging the graves whenever there is
to be an interment and the money
obtained from this source and the
sale of cemetery lots could go towards
paying his Balary. Think over this
matter calmly and if it strikes you
favorably mention it to the members
of the city council.
Deputy Sheriff T. J. Howell, Jr., had
a rather exciting adventure last Fri
day. He went up to the Hattaway
and Rambo place in the northern
part of the county to arrest a negro
wanted for murder, John Faircloth by
name. Finding his man he notified
him of his errand. The negro de
clared he would not be taken and
began backing away moving towards
a tree to get it between him and the
officer. Realizing the purpose of the
negro, Mr. Howell fired at him and
broke his left arm, felling him to the
ground. A search of the negro re
vealed a large new revolver on his
person and showed the wisdom of
Mr. Howell’s shooting first.
The “spelling bee” and “singing
class” given at the court house last
Friday night by the Ladies’ Aid So
ciety of the Blakely Baptist church
was hugely enjoyed by a large crowd
Os people. Miss Ella Jones, the popu
lar teacher, bore off the honors of the
spelling bee. Uncle Joe Womack s
singing class came in for a large
share of the applause. The old
fashioned “fa-so-la” singing was a
novelty to many of the audience, as
was also the lining of hymns demon
strated by Bro. Whittington and the
singing class. The door receipts were
satisfactory and indicated the pres
ence of some 250 people in the houae.
The ladies are grateful for the patron
age extended to their little enter
tainment.
