Write for designs and prices. R. E. LaMance, Brunswick, Ga. '.The Court. Superior Court has been iti session all the week and the town has been crowded with people, Much business has been transacted and many of the old cases were disposed of. In Judge Sweat’s charged to the grand jury he especially stressed the law on carrying concealed, weapons selling liquor against the law, and keeping up the roads and bridges. Solicitor Brantley had to ccme over from Pearson and just did arrive in time to form the grand jury Monday morning. I believe that the people like Col. Brantley better than they do any man who ever came to this court. They love him. The grand jury returned a bill against i\ J. McDonald for manslaughter. The State postponed the case and Mc- Donald’s counsel made a demand for trial at next term. Nc| yil: was found, against Julo FieireTi Hr lon lplicity in the killing; and. down in the Midway when they became involved in a. dis pute and one of them whose aarae was only John, drew his pistol an and be gan to fire upon the other, who goes by the name of Dink Johnson. He shot him three times, every ball tak ing effect in his body, and then turn ed and tied into the woods. Pursuit was quickly instituted by the marshall, sheriff and a posse of men and the county’s blood hounds, but John was swift of foot and got across, Seventeen creek before the dogs caught up with him and, they soon returned and the chase was abandoned. Dinks wounds are serious but not fatal, A Telephone For Don f/1 as. Supt. Lott of the McDonald & 1 tong las road was i a Douglas Monda y in the interest of a telephone for McDonald and Douglas The Waycross Telephone Cos. lots its line already to Waresboro and Mr. Lott thinks that a sufficient number of telephone subscribed for at McDon ald and Douglas will induce the com pany to extend its line on up to these places. Mr. Lott obtained the .prom ise of eight phones here and six at- Mc- Donald and along the line of road. A telephone or telegraph is almost indispensible at Douglas and our peo ple bail its advent with much pleasure. Crib J lurried.
