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.

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.— Cuthbert Liberal. Reliable an<l lientle. “A pill’s a pill,” says the saw.
