happier than to be remembered
Christmas? If it is only a~ nice
Embroidered Handkerchief, a
Neck Piece, a dainty Pin Cushion,
a hand painted Silk Scarf, or a
Jap Vase so popular, now. Why,
you can buy your wife a pair of
Zeigler Shoes, a house Slipper
with fur tops. Every lady appre
ciates that. Why not present
your husband with a nice Over

a pair of Boyden Shoes—the best

pocket book. Come in and buy
something for all the family. We
all know how pleasant it is to re
ceive, but more blessed to give.

June Jackson Met by Reception
CositfniUee and Persuaded
to Move On.
Juno Jackson, the negro b<*y who
was tried at Lawreneeville yester
day for attempted assault, came
dear and returned to Winder last
night, but it is saw! he did not tar
ry hereabouts for any great length
of time. It will be remembered
that Jackson was bound over to ll.e
superior court of JJwinnett, charged
with an attempted assault upon
Mrs. Jule Tiller, a respected white
woman living inside the incorporate
limits of Winder. At the trial yes*
terday the main witness in Jack
son’s behalf was Henry Bell, anoth
er negro who swore that Jackson
was at the depot with him the
whole of the afternoon of the at
tempted assault.
When the train arrived from
Lawrenceville last night Jackson
was met by a reception committee
of unknown parties and escorted to
a secluded spot outside the city
limits and given 175 lashes with a
buggy trace as a means of persuad
ing him to leave town again.
Madam rumor states that during
the process of persuasion Jackson
admitted that he was the guilty
party, but that B*ll and another
negro told him to commit the act,
as they wished to frighten the
woman away from the neighbor
hood.

This entire action has been thrown
into a state of greatest excitement
by the appearance of a rnad-dog on
the outskirts of our town. The dog
has bitten .several people who call
ed upon our doctors to see what
could be done with the wounds in
flicted. Mrs. Mai com Duncan was
seated in the house, when the dog
dashed into the room and snapped
her. The mad brute passed on to
the residence of Mr. Joe McEver
and hit Mrs. McEver and a little
child. The child was bitten very
badly on its head. The little’ boy
of Mr. V. 0. Roberts was among
those who wore bitten. The mad
dog had a free for all fight with
several canines in the edge of town.
It is not known at thi§ time just
how many olourgijizens have been
attacjfctd* but some nine or ten have
been bitten. At this writing the
dog is on the Winder road pursued
by a posse of some twenty-five or
thirty people.
Later —Dog was killed alsmt four
miles from Hoschton. The head
was shipped to the Pasteur Instiute
