The bully of his neighborhood,
Robert Adams, a young colored boy
of 8. years, was fined $5 or five licks
this- morning by Judge Price. The
youngster iB a scrapper and walks
around the other boys and girls of
his street with a chip constantly on
his shoulder. Yesterday the little
daughter of Millie Tnrasher went to
the well after some water and our
little fighter went after her. She
cursed him and he cursed her and
then the villain pursued her. The
result was that a case of disorderly
conduct was docketed against the lad
in the recorder’s court. The boy’s
father was present at the hearing
this morning and after court adjourn
ed the sound of the falling strap
against bare meat mingled with
yells of the boy could be heard up in
the chief’s office.
A conductor wave Odell Winfrey,
colored, a piece of watermelon yes
terday and the owner of the fruit
stand where the transaction occurred
did not want the negro in nis place of
business so he removed him. The ne
gro became angry and came back
after the Greek proprietor with a
wagon spoke. In the meanwhile one
of our trusty biuecoats had strolled
up to see what was going on and. he
arrested the coon before he could
fracture the Greek’s head. The Greek,
seeing another negro who" resembled
Odell very much, threw a banana at
him but he missed end the strange
negro beat it at full speed up Broad
street. Recorder Price fined Odell
Winfrey $5 or ten days for disturb
ing the peace and the case was cer
tiorated.
Guy McRee has not been support
ing his wife properly and she is at
present in no condition to support
herself and her childreni so the judge
postponed action in the. case against
him until after the csss can be thor
oughly investigated.
Two young white boys, Loyd
Hodge and Mack Minyard, had a
slight altercation out on Chase street
yesterday.. Both boys were defend
ing the good name of their mother
and the little argument did not as
sume very large proportions so tbs
judge dismissed the esse of disorder
ly conduct against them.

CHARGES AGAINST JUDGE
RUSSELL HEARD TOMORROW
the
neighborhood of Lumpkin and Broad
streets during the last two days have
wondered at the ant-like activities of
the string of men, women and children
on the left side of Broad street from
Lumpkin to Hull. From early dawn
Wednesday an eager throng of people
was seen feverishly searching about
the grass lining the sidewalk and
along the guttdr. Yesterday the
number of searchers had dwindled,
but even today several hopeful per
sons were seen poking about the side
walk.
A diamond ring was the - cause of
the excitement—not “The Diamond
From the Sky” of film fame, but a
diamond ring lost- by an Athens citi
zen. While going home about -10
o’clock Wednesday night, Mr. Nick
Gross, of the Fetropol Fruit com
pany, dropped a $500 ring from his
pocket He had taken the ring from
nis finger at the Coca-cola building
and when he reached home a few
minutes afterwards it had disappear
ed.
The searching crowd, reminding
one of the days of ’49, was an evi
dence of the power of advertising.
Mr. Gross had inserted an adver
tisement in The Herald, as follows:
Lost, Diamond ring, either on
Clayton and Lumpkin or Broad
and Lumpkin, between Hull
street. Return to Nick Gross at
Petropors Fruit Stand. $100 re
ward.
Unfortunately for Mr. Gross, how
ever, the lost ring has net yet been
returned to him and today he has in
creased the reward from $100 to
$200. The police department is also
aiding Mr. Gross in his search for the
rihg, and the pawnshops and others
have been given a description of it,
so that Mr. Gross is still hopeful of
recovering his property.
