Keorgo Cole tu Jail.
It will be remembered that some
four years ago Mr. Clarence Sutton
was dangerously cut by a negro named
George Cole, and was confined to his
room for several weeks on account of
the injuries received.
Cole made his escape on the night of
the cutting, and so far as the public
knew had uot since been heard from.
But Mr. .T. C. Simpson, an uncle to
Mr. Sutton, was not disposed to let the
guilty get off «o easy, and during the
many months that have since passed
he has been constantly engaged in a
purpose to capture the fugitive, having
traced him through several states and
back to Georgia. For some time Cole
lias been at work in Fort Valley, Mr.
Simpson being aware of this fail,
Limi. Sat,upo .1 imp:
Valley officers arrested the negro, and
Sunday morning without letting any
one know his purpose (it being his do
sire to safely land bis prisoner in jail
here) Mr. Simpson went up to Smit.li
ville, where the Fort Valley officers
met him with the prisoner, and on the
same afternoon biought Cole back to
Fort Gaines and lodged him in jail.
Nobody oven knew that he was k« op
ing track of tlie negro until it
learned that he had him safe in jail.
In his patient and persistent purpose
to capture Cole Mr. Simpson has dis
played detective ability that would do
credit to a Pinkerlon sleuth.

The Liberal-Enterprise is
informed that what appears to bo
combined effort on the part of the
Central and Plant System to force the
G. F. A. to sell out has been inaugu¬
rated by these two roads, Heretofore
the G. F. A. lias acted as a feeder for
the Central at Arlington and for the
Plant System at Bainbridge, but we
learn these roads have recently refused
to take freight or other business from
the new road, which has forced a sus
pension of freight traffic, largely,
tween Arlington and Lainhiidge ovex
its line. However, the G. F. & A
people are going right ahead with the
extension at both ends of the line.—

f)ur people are still complaining of
ihe inferior quality of Kerosene oil
that is being palmed off on them. Com¬
missioner Stevens lias been appealed
to, but Ins advice to' clean the lamps
was poor consolation. Everybody’s
lamps are not suddenly out of fix
a ll at the same time. The com mi
sinner’s apparent indifference is the
subject of uncomplimentary comment.
A hint lo so wise a politician ought to

Among the locals we overlooked last
week was the Old Maids’ Convention.
The attendance was largo and all pres¬
ent seemed to enjoy the program very
much. The old maids made some
good bits, and there wore several
special features that were very much
enjoyed. Altogether it was quite a
unique and laughable, affair, and those,
who like to “iaittrh and grow fat” cor
tainly had the de||Re d opportunity pn
this occasion. * The receipts were very
satisfactory, and we trust the enler
prise the Tidies have thus set on fool
will meet with continued encourage
ment and end in success.
