COUNTY LINE.
Well, Mr. Editor, the crow is
about devoured. The republicans
are still in power. Since the ( lec
tions are all over except justice’s of
the peace and bailiffs, we think jt
would be wisdom for the associate
editor of The Nows to run for J. P
and we will try our luck at bailiff.
If such arrangements can be made,
we are willing to tear our shirt,
and feel that aforesaid editor and
ye scribe will march on to victory
hand in hand.
Aunt Margaret Maynard is some
better than when we hfst wrote.
She may out live some <>f us sleek

distant future, with our minds eye,

white with green blinds, and, oh.
how we long for the day to come
when we can say it is ours. Then,
when the great orb of day has gone
to rest behind the western horizon,
we will gather our little ones around
the family hearthstone, and there
upon I‘tended knees and a submis
sive will, offer thanks to Him who
rules above and sing 11 is praises

BOUND OVER TOR ASSAULT.
June Jackson, a Negro Boy of Win
der, Held on Serious Charge.
Friday evening about (:“>•) o’clock
a negro boy called at the back door
of the bouse occupied by Mrs. -Julie
Tiller,a widow woman living inside
the city limits of Winder, on the
Gwinnett side of town, lie asked
Mrs. Tiller if her son was at home,
saying the boy was wanted at the
depot to help unload some trees.
Being told the son was not at
homo, the negro asked if there was
any other man at the house who
could go. Receiving a negative
reply, he blusted out, “Well, <1 —n
you, I’ll brain you if you scream,”
and advanced toward the woman,
j who shut the door and ran into the
* house for a gun, screaming all the
while.
The negro ran around the house
!to the street and fled toward the
'Seaboard depot.
I Neighbors soon gathered and form
ed a searching party. Mrs. Tiller
and a neighbor were walking through
j the crowd at the depot when June
I Jackson, a negro boy about nine
teen years of age, said, God knows
they can’t ’cu.se me of it ’cause 1
wuz down here.” It developed
j that several parties had seen June
1 going in that direction at the time.
(Then were 20 minutes for which
the negro had no alibi, and Mrs.
Tiller swore positively that he was
dressed like the negro and she be
lieved him to he the one.
A coat which the negro’s step-
(father identified as his own, which
(June had Urn gearing for the past
| few days, was found about fifty
j yards from Mrs. Tiller's house.
: Saturday afternoon the case was
tried befor Judge George Robinson,
ordinary-elect of Gwinnett county,
| who bound Jackson over to the
[superior court for assault.
• June Jackson is well known in
I Winder and this is not the first
I time he has been in trouble, but the
! chances arc that this little escapade
will hold him for some time to
come.
