Mr. Baker Daniel, ‘.iviug in Ooonee

and aold acme cotton. A man named
Bishop, who had been living with Mr.
Daniel for the.past tnree months came
to Athens with him.
After doing his trading Mr. Daniel
and Bishop went back home, and the
money for which be had sold the cotton
wa6 put in a small trunk, and in the
night Mr. Daniel heard some one in
the house.
Later on he found the trunk and
money missing, something more than
3100 00, from tbe room in which it bad
been placed. Investigation showed
that Bishop was-also missing, having
left his shoes and hat. And a bare
footed track was discovered leading
from the room where the trunk had
been carried into the field.
Mr. Daniel says he believes the oir-
umstanees point directly to Bishop as
the man who got the money.
He is supposed to be in one of the
Carolinas.
He is sandy-haired, almost bald-
beaded, large sandy moustache, raw-
oheek boned, weighirg about abcu 1 : 125

Bishop wss ciught at Hull, Ga-, on the
G., C. and N road, and passed through

to Watkinsville. Eighty dollars of the
money was recovered, and Bishop' says
he will restore the balance.

Mr. George Laator, one of the oldest
and most highly esteemed citizens of
Oglethorpe county, is dead—having
passed away on Tuesday afternoon.
A gentleman who was in Lexington
on Tuesday met a Bannxb reporter yes
terday, who said he was in Mr. Lester’s
office only a little while before his
death, and he seemed to be in his usual
good health. Only a few minutes later
the whole community was shocked to
receive the sad intelligence that tbe old
gentleman was dead. It is supposed
that he died of heart disease.
Mr. Lester was one of the most pop
ular men of Oglethorpe county, having
served as clerk of tbe court in that
county for about fifty-two yean, and
had given eminent satisfaction in all
that long period of service.
Mr. Lester was a good man, having
been for many yean a leading member
of the Baptist churoh. He was highly
esteemed by a very targe circle of
friends and acquaintances.
After the above was in type, the fol
