Bit Strickland Jailed. But Gave Bond. Everyone will remember the story of Ed Strickland and Mrs. L. M. Fowler, who ranaway and were arrested in Greenville, S. C. Mr. J. M. Harmon, the stop-father of of Mrs.Fowler was In the Banner of fice yesterday and from him the follow ing w&sg&th red. Miss Ida Echols married Mr. Lewis Fowler of this county about twelve yeirs ago. Hot lorg ago she became infatuated with Ed Strick land, a ycung son of Mr. Noah Strick land, and about two weeks siooe the young couple eloped. Strickland was a nephew (f Mrs. Fowler by marriage. Noah Stiickland was arrested in Greenville, S. C., by Deputy Sheriff Suddetb, and was brought to Athens and lodge d in the Clarke county jail. Mrs. Fowler, with two of her children atoompanied the Sheriff. Mr. Harmon is very much crushed at thooonduct of Mrs. Fowler, having raised her from a small child and in an interview talked lovingly and ten derly to her, beseeching a reconcilia tion, but be is of the opinion that she is *o much infatuated with Strickland that she will not go back to her home. Mr. Harmon says that Mr. Fowler always treated his wife well. Thi interview between young Strick land and bis father was very teaching, but Mrs. Fowler exhibited little paio Or emotion when her stepfather talked With her. Strickland gave bond and is out until the day of trial, which will be next Sat urday at 10 o’clock before Justice Thom as Poss. Mrs. Fowler has been sum moned as a witness. Satnxday was a week age they left home and went over to Greenville. Lewis Fowler had been married to Miss Eohols about twelve years, and baa six children. She curled two of the ohlldren, the younger and the third one, with her, leaving- the others at home with Mr. Fowler. APPLE PEELINGS ON THE PAVE- • MENT Ditfnrbs many, and eften upsets the Jnopip^butbow much oftener does the green apple disturb the stomach, and n pset the bowels. This can be set right by Dr. Biggero’ Huckleberry CordiaT* Me. PBTgn CULP.—For many years the name cf Fetei Culp has been a fa miliar one to the readers of Athens newspapers, as productions have ap peared frem time to time from his pen on verions subjects. His many friei ds will regret to learn that he is seriously ill at his home on Oak-street in Athens. While quite sick, the old gentleman 1b cheerful and bis faith unclouded. Mr. Culp is79 years oil. and though his age is agaimt him, the Banner wishes for him a spndy recovery. Primer and Kinnebrew are carrying the best line of fine French candies in the city. A HAND OF TH1EVFS. Important Arrc sts Made by the Police Monday. A band of thieves have been getting io their work in the city of late. Jew elry, clothing, etc., were the articles stolen. They have for some time evad ed detection, but night before last offi cer Hayes spotted the place where the stolen goods were kept, and he, in com pany with Policeman Goodrum raided the premises. It was out beyond the old Georgia depot, in what is familiarly known as “the cut.” Some jewelry which had Seen stolen from Miss Mary Russell was found, and a silver cup which had been stolen from the house of Mis. E. P. Bishop. This cup was presented to Capt. C. G. Taltnadge some years ago, by the Athens Guards, and was highly prized. Besides these were found articles of clothing, the owcerof of which is not known. Monday afeern on Offi -ere S rye and Suddeth arrested Evan Arnold,colt red, charged with stealing these g>ods. Evans claims that he had not stolen the goods, but says they were brought to him by Florida Shorter anl Lizzie Beets, who gave them to him to sell, he gettiig half for what they brought. Later in the evening Officers Saye and Kelley arrested these two colored dam sels and placed them in the custody of Sheriff Wier. Now, Evans Arnold, Florida Shorter and Lizzie Beets are all in jail charged with these robberies. There is but little doubt that but there has been a band of thieves at work in the city, and it was a good piece of work cn the part of Officers Saye, Suddeth, Kelley, Goodrnm and Hayes in working up there cases. The Athens police are a vigilant set of of fleers, and quickly bring guflty parties before the courts when cases of this kind are reported to them.

The Umpire. The poor umpire is out on the ball ground. There is a limp in bis gait and he carries a cane. He is an old vet, and played a right lively game before he was wounded. The ball struck him on the kneecap, and when he was discharged from tbe hospital he was placed on the retired list. What are they doing now? The man at the bat has made three strikes, and the catcher has thrown the ball to first base. Is the man out? Some say he is oat and some say he isn’t. What does the umpire say? He has not had a chance to say anything yet on account of the uproar. Why do the two nines gather so closely around the umpire? He ought to have a little fresh air. They are trying to bulldoze him. Has he rendered a decision yet? Yes, he has pronounced the man ont. Who was that who just struck the um pired That is the short stop. Who is the man kicking the umpire on his game leg? That is the man whom he declared out. It is a shame to kick, strike and abuse a lame man. - t True, but look at the third baseman," 1 who is creeping up behind him with a club in his hand. What is he going to do? He finds it necessary to kill the umpire to stifle farther discussion. Has he struck him yet? No, he has not hit him on the back of his bead because the umpire has just reversed his decision. Gone back on what he said in Che first place? Yes, he now says the man is not out. Who fired that shot? • The left fielder of the other clnb. Whom is he shooting at? The umpire. Why? Because the umpire reversed his decision. Why, they have killed the umpire for going back on his first judgment. Yes, but what is the difference? He would have been killed anyway by tbe club on tbe other side. It is six to one and half a'dozen to the other, and an umpire might as well die .for an old sheep as a lamb.— Texas Siftings.

She found life there very agreeable at first, but before long she be gan to experience distressing physical sen sations. She became nervous, fretful and very uncomfortable; she lost much of her sleep at night ana much more of her hap piness by day. At last she resolved to consult a physi cian, and did so, calling to see a bright light in the profession. She gave him a very full account of her symptoms, and then asked: “What is it that ails me, doctor?” “Fleas, ma’am!” answered the doctor.
