$2,100 REWARD FOR
DOSTER MURDERER
Besides the S6OO reward tnat wus of
fered by the State of Georgia, in last
week's issue of the News, for the cap
ture of the murderers of Jess Doster,
who was killed in his home in this
county some months ago, an additional
$1,500 in rewards have been offered
for the capture with proof to convict
the murderers.
Barrow county has offered a reward
of SSOO for the murderers and the
brothers of the dead man have added
SI,OOO to the above rewards. This
makes a total of $2,100.
This sum ought to run the murder
ers down and result in their capture.
The killing of Doster was a dastardly
deed. Five or six masked men went to
his house in the dead of night and shot
him down, and made their escape. This
deed should not rest upon the fair name
of Barrow comity. Every effort is be
ing made to discover the guilty par
ties, and it is thought that the heavy
rewards offered by the various parties
will result in the capture of those who
are guilty.
Sheriff H. O. Camp authorizes us to
say that the rewards offered by the
county and by the Doster boys are bona
tide' and will be paid promptly. The
SI(HX) offered by the dead man’s broth
ers is now deposited at the Farmers
Bank.
Mr. and Mrs. Pollock
Remenibered in Gift.
Mr. and Mrs. Pollock, who are con
ducting the music at the meet
ing that has been in progress at' the
Christian church for some time were
kiudly rememliered by the friends that
they have made since coming to our
city last Friday night. The occasion
was the fifth anniversary of their wed
ding day. Mr. Claude Mayne present
ed the box, containing the present, in
a few happy remarks. Mr. Pollock ac
cepted the gift in a appropriate man
lier, and as many present in the au
ience expressed a desire to see the gift, I
lie unwrapped the box, and lo! anew
rolling pin was discovered. The au
dience joined in with Mr. and Mrs.
Pollock in the hearty laugh that fol
lowed. Mr. Pollock handed the roll
ing pin over to Mrs. Pollock for fut
ure use. The joke 'oil them was en
joyed by all present. However, after
the laugh was over Mr. Mayne again
arose with another box that contained
a beautiful and appropriate present in
deed. and presented it to Mr. and Mrs
Pollock, as evidence of the high es-,
teem in which they are held by our!
people.
By the way, the splendid way in
which the children went through the
exercises Friday night, shows the re
sult of the great work that Mrs. Pol
lock is doing among the young people
wherever she goes. The songs that
they sang and the knowledge of the
scriptures that was displayed by them
will remain with them in the years to
come.
