liam Cargill, a prominent farmer
of this county, lost by fire last
night his barn, stuck, 1,000 bush
els of corn and four fine mules.

gparta, Ga., May 6.—The post
ehere was entered by burglars
last night. The outer door of the
iron safe was blown off by a charge
of nitro-glycerine, but tha inner
doer was left intact, the burglars
being frightened off by the noise of
the explosion. Only a very small
amount of change was secured.
It was evidently the work of pro
fessionals. •
Covington, Ga., May 7.—Son
Pickett, the 18-year-old son of T.
H Pickett, has disappeared. Foul
play is suspected, and four negro
men living on Pickett’s farm are

they killed-him and threw his body

and left his companions about 11
o’clock. This was the last seen of
him.

Major Holland, was found dead in
East Macon tonight. Three bul
let holes in his body show that he
was shot with a pistol.
Negroes in the community say
they heard pistol shots, but no one
seems to know who fired them.
Relatives say two white men did
the shooting, but no reasou can be
assigned for this belief.
Dublin, Ga., May 7.—The 10-
year old son of Rev. C. T. Biekley
has been bitten by a mad dog on
the chest and arm.
The boy will probably be carried
to the Pasteur institute in Atlanta

Americus, Ga., May 4.—James
Motley had his heart shot into
shoe strings, his stepson discharg
ing both barrels of a shotgun into
him at ten places. Motley had

ensued, resulting in the killing of
the wife beater.

for the sale of the Gainesville,
Jefferson and Southern railroad
before the court house door in

Rome, Ga., May 5.—At the
seventh district masonic conven
tion the following officers were

“The mistake Dick Russell
made,” saida prominent politician
at the Capitol last week, “was in
not running for congress against
Carter Tate. My information is
that Russell really wanted to run
for congress and that Tate got him
into the judgeship race instead.
The result is history—both Tate
and Russell were defeated. Rus
sell could have won a seat in con
gress with one third tha money he
lost trying to be chief justice. He
talks about being a ‘busted com
munity,’ but he will keep the pol
iticians guessing for the next two
years, just the same.”
Macon, Ga., May 9.—The Ma
con delegation which will attend
the annual session of the Odd Fel
lows of Georgia, in Valdosta, this
month, will make a strong effort
to have the Odd Fellows’ Home
located in Macon. The Masons’
Home is located here, and the Odd
Fellows will advance strong argu-1
ment to seoure the Odd Fellows’!
Home.
Greenville, Ga , May 9.*—Hon.
William T. Revill, of Greenville,,
representative-elect to the next
legislature from Meriwether coun-1
ty, and keeper of public buildings
and grounds at the capitol, died
this afternoon at his home in this
city after an illness of four days of
pneumonia.
Mr. Revill was one of the best |
known men in Georgia, and had
he lived, would very probably have
been an active candidate for speak-1
er of the lower house.
Macon, Ga., May 9.—The mys-|
tery surrounding the disappear
ance April 30 of Atkinson, this
city, grows deeper. When the
young man left the office of the
Bell Telephone Company, with
which company he held a respon
sible position, he said he was going
to Atlanta on a visit. Communi
cation with that city has resulted
in no trace being found. As far|
as can be learned he never reached
Atlanta, and some are of the opin-|
ion he met with foul play.
One day last week a little son of
Mr. Harris at Linwood, in Walker)
county, thought he would play j
“high dive.” A tub of water was
made to answer for the pool and
placed near the gate post. All
ready, the boy climbed to the top of
the post and taking careful aim
dived head first into the tub of!
water on the ground below. Un-|
fortunately for the success of the
dive, the little fellow’s head hit I
the side of the tub, which caused
the “high diving” experiment to
result disastrously for him, and]
causing him to be severely bruised
up.
The grand lodge of the Order!
of the Eastern Star held an en
thusiastie meeting at the Masonic |
hall in Atlanta last week. A
complete attendance of members
was present, and the following
officers were elected:
Mrs. Hattie M. Delkin, city, wor-1
thy grand matron; Colonel John
C. Harman, Tennille, Ga., associ-j
ate grand patron; Mrs. Jennie O.
Walker, Cochran, Ga., associate
grand matron; John T. Davis,
Rome, Ga., associate grand patron;
Mrs. C. E. Welch, Fitzgerald, Ga.,
grand secretary; Mrs. L. H. Sto
vail, Tilton, Ga., grand treasurer;
Mrs. W. W. Cleveland, LaGrange,
Ga., grand conductor, and Miss
Alma Peek, Macon, Ga., associate
conductor.
While making love to Miss Za
die Rowe, of Decatur and Pratt
street Atlanta, last week G. G.
Johnson, a married man of 6 Hill
street, was surprised by his wife,
who caught him by an arm and
compelled him to go home with
her. The father of Miss Rowe,
learning his daughter had been
imposed on by Johnson posing as
a single man, started searching for
Johnson with a revolver, but was
prevented from doing harm by
Patrolman Phillips and Call Offi
cer Spradlin. It is claimed that
Johnson, who has a wife and baby,
has been visiting Zadie Rowe for
some time past, claiming to be a
single man. Call Officer Spradlin
arrested Johnson on a charge of
disorderly conduct.
Griffin, Ga , May 7*—George
Chambly, an employe of the Kin
caid mills, fell from the Central

It is not known just how he
met his death, as no one deems to

FOLEYSKIDNEYCURE
stops irregularities, strengthens the urinary organs and builds up the worn-out tissues
of the kidneys so they will perform their functions properly. Healthy kidneys strain out
the impurities from the blood as it passes through them. Diseased kidneys do not, and
the poisonous waste matter is carried by the circulation to every part of the body,
causing dizziness, backache, stomach trouble, sluggish liver, irregular heart action, etc.
If you have any signs of Kidney or Bladder Trouble commence taking FOLEY’S
KIDNEY CURE at once, as it will cure a slight disorder in a few days and prevent a
fatal malady. It is pleasant to take and benefits the whole system.
G. B. Burhans Testifies After Four Years.
G. B. Burhans of Carlisle Center, N. Y., writes:
How to Find Out.
You can easily determine if your kidneys are
out of order by setting aside for 24 hours a
bottle of the urine passed upon arising. If
upon examination it is cloudy or milky or has
a brick-dust sediment or small particles float
about in it, your kidneys are diseased, and
FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE should be taken
at once.

FINCHER A NICHOLS
Monticello, Ga., May 9.—Bob
Jordan, a negro, Saturday night
broke into Mrs. Frank Malone’s
house through a window and great
ly frightened Mrs. Malone and her
children. Mrs. Malone is a wid
ow and her oldest son was absent.
She lives four miles from town.
She succeeded in escaping with
hpr children and gave an alarm.
When help arrived the negro was
sleeping soundly in the lady’s bed.
By his side was a heavy smoothing
iron which he carried with him.
After giving him a terrible whip
ping he was brought to Monticello
and placed in jail, about 4 o’clock
yesterday morning. The sheriff,
fearing trouble, carried him to
Madison on the morning train,
fearing a mob last night. It is
thought the negro was drunk, so
bold was his entrance and man
ner.
H. D. Bradley, of 59 Lovejoy
street, Atlanta, had a thrilling ex
perience Saturday night at 10
o’clock when he was attacked by
foot-pads, knocked down and his
pockets rifled.
Bradley was on his way home
at the time the hold-up occurred.
He was walking out Luckie street.
When near the coiner of Mills two
men walked up behind him. Be
fore he was aware of their pres
ence one of the men dealt Bradley
a blow on the head with a sand
bag, knocking him to the ground.
One of the men sprang on him
and seized him by the throat to
prevent an}- outcry.
Bradley, dazed by the blow,
fought the men as best he could.
He finally managed to release
their hold on him and began yell
The men fled. They had
rifled his pockets, but failed to find
either his money or watch, which
he carried in a small pocket of his
trousers.
Atlanta, May 8.—Very few visi
tors at the state house are aware of
the fact, that located in the engine
room of the basement of the big
building there is in successful oper
ation a prosperous hennery, presid
ed over by old George, who faith
fully looks after the comfort of
the big furnace, whose business it
is to furnish heat for the capitol'
building. George has gathered
about him a half dozen or more
hens and the^’ are hatching out
chickens at rapid rate. He takes
a great pride in his rapidly increas
ing family of hens and chickens,
and doubtless sees millions in it
for the future. Last week one of
his hens left her nest followed by
fifteen chickens. She was reward
ed in her faithfulness to duty by
not mfssing cue on a single egg,
every one placed under her pro*,
ducing a chick. He has three
more hens due to produce other
litters this week, and thinks he
sees the road for a fortune in the
business when age forces him to
leave his work. So far the tax
collector has not called upon
George for his contribution to the
customary expenses of the state
department. The capitol lawn
furnishes a good range for Iris
poultry, the chickens doing no
harm and the proceeds of the en
terprise helping the veteran fire
man along in his battle for life.
