PRIOR, Ex’r of the Will of Mrs. Huldah McClesky, De ceased. HALED TO JAIL, And Will Not Need Any More Over coats For Awhile. A negro of the name of Jim Jones was arrested last Thursday afternoon on the charge of larceny. He is charged with having stolen an overcoat from John E. Craig and having robbed G. D. Lay’s house, carrying away a large amount of wearing apparel, a report of which oc curred in last week’s Eagle, together with several other thefts of a similar character, all of which were exceedingly bold. Since the arrest of this negro several other robberies have been brought to light, but all parties had heretofore thought it a good idea to keep the mat ter quiet, aud doubtless the thief thought so too, and as a result the work of rob bing houses has been going on in our city for the past six months. Mr. Lay took a different view of the matter. He made the robbery known to the press, notified the chiefs of police of other cities, and the country people around about the city. As a result when the negro put the stolen goods on the market in the vicinity of Bowdre, six miles east of the city, Bud Marchbanks hastened to town to notify Mr. Lay that two negroes were selling articles of clothing around Bowdre, and gave a de scription of the persons. A conference was held with the officers and Jim Jones was arrested Thursday afternoon and carried before the people to whom he and his partner had sold the stolen goods. Each purchaser identified Jones as one of the men. He declined to give any information to the authorities, saying that they might kill him or send him to the chaingang, but he would tell nothing. He also waived preliminary trial, and was haled to the county lock-up. He sold Mrs. Lay’s cloak for 50 cents and Mr. Craig’s overcoat for sl, and oth er articles at the same rate. This negro is said to be an ex-convict. He came to Gainesville about six months ago and rented a house in Dr. Green’s pasture, near Grove street. Since he has been here he has pawned valuable arti cles for almost nothing and was never known to redeem one. He has also ped dled, selling goods at any price he could get. It is believed that this thief be longs to an organized band of outlaws who operate in different towns and cities. This idea has grown out of the class of goods he has offered here for sale at any price one would offer. Mr. Craig’s overcoat and a larger por tion of the goods stolen from Mrs. Lay have been recovered. Rheumatism Cured in a Day. “Mystic Cure” for Rheumatism and Neuralgia radically cures in 1 to 3 days.

Three years ago my condition was alarming; the least noise would startle and unnerve me. I was unable to sleep, had a number of sinking spells and slowly grew worse. I began using Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine and Nerve and Liver Pills. At first the medicine seemed to have no effect, but after taking a few bottles I began to notice a change; I rested better at night, my appe tite began to improve and I rapidly grew better, until now I am as nearly restored to health as one of my age may expect.

CONGRESS ISOPENEDi M'KINIETSMESSAGE National Legislature Begins Its Regular Session. PRESIDENT ON NEW ISSUES Currency Reform Is Urged and the Authority Asked to Increase the Standing Army to 100,000 Men, but No Colonial Plan Suggested. Washington, Dec. A—Congress met it noon today and President McKinley transmitted his annual message to both branches. The document is a lengthy one, beginning with the statement that, “despite the added burdens of the war, our people rejoice in a very satisfactory and steadily increasing degree of pros perity, as evidenced by the greatest vol ume of business ever recorded.” The president says “military service under a common flag for a righteous cause has strengthened the national spirit and served to cement more closely than ever the fraternal bonds between every section of the country.” He then reviews elaborately the events that led up to a declaration of war with Spain, pointing out and prais ing acts of heroism by Americans dur ing the conflict anti concluding this portion of the message with an expres sion of a hope soon to be able to lay be i >r • the senate for ratification a definite treaty of peace. Our New Possessions. No legislation is recommended for the government of Porto Rico and the Phil ippines, the president advising that ac tion along this line be deferred until the peace eommissionrs have concluded their work at Paris. With reference to Cuba the message contains the following: “As soon as we are in possession of Cuba and have pacified the island, it will be necessary to give aid and decis ion to its people to form a government of themselves. It is important that our relations with these .people'shall be of a most friendly character and our com mercial relations close and reciprocal. Spanish rule must be replaced by a just, benevolent and humane government, created by the people of Cuba, capable of performing all international obliga tions and which shall encourage thrift, industry and prosperity, and promote peace and good will among all the in habitants, whatever may have been their relations in the past. Neither revenge nor passion should have a place in the new government. Until there is com plete tranquility in the island and a stable government inaugurated military occupation will be continued.” The necessity of definite action on the Nicaragua canal project is urged, and while no proposition looking to gov ernmental construction is made, the tone of the message in reference to that matter seems favorable to such a course. Hawaii receives considerable space in the message and the work of the board appointed to formulate laws for Ameri ca's new possessions in the Pacific is re viewed. Far Eastern Affairs. The seizure of several Chinese. porta by European powetg is noted and refer ence made Uff tfie feet that-UmtadStatea andwarships dispatchecTto Oriental wa ters to look after our'interests. Sympathy Is expressed with the czar’s disarmament scheme, but the question is declared to have no practical impor tance to ns “save as marking an auspi cious step toward the betterment of -the condition of the modern peoples and the cnlHvarinn of peace and good will among them.” Touching on monetary affairs, the president favors maintaining the present gold standard and renews the recom mendation he made last year “that when United States notes are presented for redemption in gold and are re deemed in gold such notes should be set apart and only paid out in exchange for gold.” The whole financial subject, in all its parts, “is commended to the wise con sideration of congress.” Authority is asked to increase the standing army to 100,000 men and the further privilege is requested of recruit ing frorp the inhabitants of the newly acquired islands.

And It is to Do a Big Business in Mining at Dahlonega. A company composed of Ohio capital ists has bought up nearly everything in sight in the way of gold mines and mills around Dahlonega. The properties in question represent 4,671 acres of mineral lands in the imme diate vicinity of Dahlonega, the bulk of which is gold bearing, but with a 500- acre tract of valuable maganese deposits. The deed of transfer covers, in addition to the lauded interest, all the improve ments thereon, consisting of numerous mining outfits, elevators, stamp mills, 105 dies, stamps, buildings, 500 horse cars, forty miles of artificial canals, rail way track and rolling stock and all the appliances and machinery natural to an extensive mining interest. The company was organized about the Ist of November, most of the stock hav ing been subscribed in advance. The capitalization is $5,000,000 and the home office is at Toledo, with branch offices at Delaware, 0., Chattanooga, Tenn., and I Dahlonga, Ga. The charter is under the i laws of Georgia. Ohio capital is very ; largely backing the venture, the officers of the company being as follows: President, J. W. Adams, of Delaware, 0., vice president, G. B. Paul, of Dela ware, 0., secretary and treasurer, R. C. Thompson, of Delaware, O , general manager, 11. D. Ingersoll, of Dahlonega, Ga. The company is to be known as tike Consolidated Gold Mining Company. As the purchase money is not stated as to the amount, some idea of its extent may be secured from the fact that there wa* $5,000 in revenue stamps necessary upon the instrument. This is the larg est amount of revenue stamps ever pur chased for a similar purpose in the State, and perhaps one of the largest amounts ever required for a similar purpose in the country.
