Nesrro Who Killed Bailiff Will Hanvr
December 11th.
Bob Middlebrooks, who has been
held in the Atlanta jail for safe
keeping since his conviction of
murder at the July term of Bartow
superior court, was brought to
Cartersville Monday night by
Deputy Sheriff Tinsley, and on
Tuesday morning was brought into
court and sentenced by Judge Fite
to be hung on Friday, December
nth, within one mile of the court
house.
Middlebrooks took his sentence
very coolly and asked the judge to
see that he had a decent burial.
After his conviction at the July
term of court his case was carried
to the supreme court, and the judg
ment of the lower court was con
firmed,
Middlebrooks shot Bailiff Reed
at Adairsville, who was trying to
effect his arrest for some trivial
crime, the latter part of last June,
and the wounds proved fatal in a
short time. He made his escape
was captured at Pine Log by
Sheriff Maxwell after being shot
down, but his wounds were not
serious.
There was considerable talk of
lynching at the time and the negro
was carried to Atlanta, and was
brought back for trial at the July
term of court, when he was con
victed, sentence being held up
pending the appeal to the supreme
court, until Tuesday, as stated
above.
Mr. John R. Banton has in his
possession a silver dollar that is
104 years old, being minted in the
year 1799. It differs little in ap
pearance from the present dollar,
except that it has larger lettering
on it, and the Goddess of Liberty’s
face is a different one, and the word
“liberty,” instead of being across the
forehead of the figure, is on the
rim of the coin. He has a half
dollar piece that was coined in
1838.

The North Georgia conference
met at Griffin yesterday and the
local Methodist ministers, Rev.

Dalton district, and Rev. T. J.

church, are in attendance. It
would please the people of Carters
ville if these two able preachers
should be returned to their present
jvork, and it is probable that they
will be.
Mr. C. L. Collins left Monday
for Dalton where he has accepted

concert given last Monday night
at the court house by Mr, Milton

Baltimore, assisted by Miss Ella
Neel and Miss Mary Lu Wikle.
Mr. Newman is visiting in the city

W T hen a doctor calls for certain
ingredients in a prescription, and
the druggist substitutes some oth
er drugs than those called for, then
that pharmacist should be liable to
incarceration in prison. He is
juggling with the lives of the sick
and afflicted. He is almost as
culpable who substitutes some
mixture of his own make--of the
“just as good” kind —for some
reputable, well-knowu medicine
that has stood the test of many
years.
