comes to the farmer in feeding

Sunday was the best day in
some respects ever, enjoyed at
the Baptist church here. The
morning service marked the first
long step towards securing a!
new church building on their
beautiful lot on Shotwell street,
where the present church stands.
Dr. Minor delivered a most
impressive sermon, taking for
his subject * ‘The Open Door. ’ ’ At
the close of the service a sug
gestion was made by one of the
members that a movement be
made then and there, to begin
raising the necessary funds for
a new church building, saying
“The oper door is before us and
we should enter it now”, and
started the subscription by pledg
ing $1,600 for himself and fam
ily. Other pledges were given,
some amounting to $1,000. the
total amount reaching between
$8,000 and $9,000. Other sub
scriptions have been received

I answered him a couple of
times and the argument got very
heated. He would write a word
and then look up and talk to me.
While he was arguing I took the
ble in such manner as that all gun from my pocket and shot
can be thrown into the main
auditorium when necessary.
With the unexpected and grat
ifying results reached Sunday,
the pastor and members of the
church believe that it will not be
very long before actual work
will commence on the new build
ing. This will add one more to
the number of handsome struc
tures Bainbridge already has.
The evening service was given
over to speeches from the pastor
and others before the graduating
class of teachers in the Sunday
School. It will be remembered
that a Sunday School Teacher’s
Institute has been conducted
there recently, a number of the
teachers graduating. These re
ceived diplomas Sunday night.
This service was most interest
ing and impressive.
New Officials Appointed
Mr. J, T. Waddell has been
appointed Superintendent 0 f
Transportation of the G. F. & A.
Ry., Vice Mr. S. J. Jones, who
resigned to accept a similar posi
tion with the Alabama, Tennes
see & Northern railroad, with
headquarters at Mobile.
Mr. Jones has been with the
G. F. & A. for a number of years
and is one of the most popular
men with the company. He is
held in very high esteem by the
entire force of employees, who
are remembering him with a
handsome present on his depart
ure. It may be stated here that

“I started to turn a round to
go out; I got to the door and
then it struck me that I might as
well go ahead and ransack the
place while I had the opportuni
ty. I leaped over the showcase
on the left hand side as you come
in the pawnshop and took a coat
that was hanging on the wall
and put it over his face.
“Immediately after I jumped
over the showcase, some one
opened the door of the pawn
shop, entered the place and ask
ed: "Is Mr, Wurzburger in?
“No,” I answered. I then, add
ed: “He will be in after awhile.”
He turned around and walked
out.
"I took an aligator .grip off a
shelf or case. The safe was open
and I pulled out three or four
drawers and dumped the watches
into the grip. When I started
to full the grip, Mr. Wurtzburger
started to crawl towards the trap
door. It was open and I threw
him down and closed it.
‘ ‘The trapdoor leads to the cel
lar and that is where I pushed
him. Then I closed the bag.
The money drawer was open,
and I next went to it. I took alJ
the money that was in’the draw
er-amounting to either $86 or
$96. There was about $30. or
$32 in silver and the remainder
in bills. The bills were in a lit
tle square in the drawer where
the silver was kept.
“Wurzburger had not paid me
for the links before I shot him.
I took no more watches after

ago to assume the duties of Gen

that Mr. Jones will be with. Mr.
Tussey was the recipient of a
beautiful silver set.
Mr. Waddell’s promotion is
well deserved, as he has been
among the faithful ones who
have made the G. F. & A. so
popular in this section of Georgia
and Florida.

the bag. Then, thinking that
people might notice it too close

the bag tied, and broke the rope
with my fingers.
“I took an Olive street car

money and went out and paid
