that Spencer, the negro deiperedo, is
Still hiding about in that section
of the c.mnty. He was seen there
Sunday and has been heard of since
that time. It is said that he is never

it with him to the table when he eats.
Many of the citizens of that section
are living in mortal tear of the negro,
fact it is a seared community,
Spencer has terrorized that whole
neighborhood. Weare informed that
there are maoy people over there who
aro actually afraid to strike a match
their house at night. When dark
ness comes they get inside their houses
and barricade the doors. Ho matter
who seeks admittance after dark they
don’t get it. It is true that Spencer
is probably the meanest as well as the
moet desperate man ever in the coun
ty, but it looks ss if some means could
be devised by which he could be
captured or killed. We have no
dqubt but that ii the sheriff w&s given
the assistance of those people who
live in the neighborhood and know
the negro’s haunts he would get him.

Prof. Chas Line has consented to

lectures on Friday night at the court

the benefit of the South Georgia' Col

will be charged. The subject of the
lecture will be “Conversation,’’ which
is said to be even more laughable
than the one on laughter, delivered
last week. Although he has been
here less than two weeks, Professor
Lane needs no introduction to our
people. Those who have not beard

goes without saying that he will have
a packed house. Prof. Lane is the
best humorous lecturer that has ever
visited Thomasville. If he doesn’t
make you laugh, it will be because
you can’t, and not because you
haven’t anything to laugh at. Make

PEABODY PENCILINGS-
Self-Constituted Reporters.
Here is something from the Grand
Rapids Leader that is so heartrend- How the Institute is Progress-
ingly true that every paper in the
coontry ought to publish it for the
benefit of the community at large: -
“In every community there are
self-sacrificing patriots who lie awake

the daytime studying up things that
might begot into the newspaper with
it fair prospect of hurting somebody’s
feelings, breeding a disturbance, and
getting (he editor licked. And when
a person oi this class gels hold of an
idea of the right sort- it intoxicates
him. It immediately begins to ex

In our notice yesterday .morning

at large, bat that we thought if the
people of the neighborhood who
knew the negro’s baynts would assist
the Sheriff that he could be captured,
we probably did some ol. them injuss
tics. We understand that there are
several men living in the community
who have not only shown a-willing
ness to assist, but have devoted con
siderable time to bunting for the
negro, Our notice was not intended
to reflect upon, the -courage - of these
men. All we said was bused upon

Another Burned Trestle.
We learned yesterday from a rail
road man that another attempt was
made Monday to wreck a passenger
train on the S. F. & W. Railroad by
burning a trestle. When No. 78,
which leaves here about two o’clock,
reached the Aiapaha river between
Naylor and Stockton the bridge over
lagoon near the river was fonnd
to be on fire. The engineer saw the
fire in time to stop his train. The
bridge had not been burning long and
it was put out, but not, however, un
til sufficient damage had been done
to delay the train some four or five
hours. It seems that the bridge
burner is determined to get in some

Yesterday.
A Church Row.
Several days ago we mentioned the
tact that a split had bccured among
the members oi Jack Carter’s church,
and also the fact that Jack had been
deposed from his position ss paitor of
the church and W. B. Wilson put in
his place. It seems that Jack, will
not sit idly by and see himself fired
ont of bis own church. Those who
thought he wonld little know the
make up of the man. There is an
interesting time' ahead, and if Jack’s
opposers are not careful he will down
’em in the end. Jack has sought the
intervention oi the courts to atraigbtea
out raattors, but in the meantime he
proposes to have some revenge out of
his enemies. Accordingly he swore
out warrants against Sam Young and
Wm. McCay. charging them with dis
turbing religious worship. The; were
arrested and put under bond. Their
trial will come off before judge Alex
ander this afternoon and some racy
developments are expected.

Why is it that some people prefer
purchasing their goods elsewhere to
patronizing their home merchants?
Some even go so far as to bay what is
absolutely necessary on'credit from
the home merchants and save their
cash to spend elsewhere.
Such a policy is ruinous to the city
and must needs recoil to a greater and

Yesterday was the -third day of the

terday was somewhat larger than on
the-day previous, but yet'the- house
was anything else but crowded..
There are a number of teachers train
abroad in attendance, and from how
on it isexpected that the number will
increase. Ir is also thought that more
of the citizens of the town will attend
since the institute is being held in the
court house, which is far more acces
sible than the college building, where
it was held last week, _We are con
fident if they knew W interesting

morning ' at nine o’clock with Prof.

Mrs. Hehd showed how to teach
drawing to 1 children, and advanced
some most excellent ideas and methods
on this fide.
Miss Barnes, ol Thomasville, by
request, lectured on the same subject,
and added many interesting methods
ot teachiog designs. Miss Barnes is
one of the moet successful teachers of
small children in South Georgia, and
her remarks were highly *appreciated
by the teachers.

various rumors were afloat for a day
or two, bat the shots turned out to be

though some of-the little folks are
looking and expecting the outlaw to
jump from behind every tree and

ones to be in dread all the time. We
would be glad to have the opportunity
of telling the little fellows that he was
safely locked up where he could not

the Sheriff take every able-bodied
man in this neighborhood who knows
the woods and roads, black and white,
and Burround a certain territory jtnd
then come together, in the day time.
First find where his paramour is and
put her and a certain young white

There is danger ahead when the at

he will be pot out of the way without
any loss of life, for Henry Spencor is

The Peabody Institute
We *re pleased to note the iocroased
interest being manifested in the Pea
body Institute, not only by the teach
era, but by the citizens as well. It.il
one of the best schools that they can
attend, besides the lectures are deeply
interesting. The session yesterday
was very well attended, the number,
present being largely in excess of any
day during the week. The cilizsns
are just fiuding ont how instructive
and entertaining the lectures are:

which the professors are listened to we
will quote the remarks of a young

was dancing about in' the top of the
tube at the time alluded to, the com-
pliment paid the lecturers by the

the Institute will be well attended
