J ’ Solicitor ol the Cily Court.
Gov. Candler lias appointed Mr. L.
Ostepp Solicitor of the City Court of
Douglas, and the agony and snsppnie
of those interested is over. We were
not in town when the news arrived,
of his appointment, therefore we are
not in a poaition to say whether Mr.
Qsteen fainted or not when he heard
the news, but a* he IqqL ami acta all
right and Gov. Candler thinks lie is a
good democrat, and we have no room
to doubt it, we congratulate the gen
tleman on his successful light.
Some bitterness may have been en
gendered, somethings have been said,
perhaps, that should ffof hY e b fTB.
and as the matter has been settled all
should jbe passed over. Those who
opposed Mr. Osteen's appointment
can make nothing by keeping up the
feeling, nor can Mr. Osteen afford to
seek myth's* tjftough season of hi"
office. If he does lie will violate his
oath, fdiile the injury intended for
others Will recoil upon iiis own head.

day, or soon thereafter, on the Air Line
railroad, in Ware and tins county, and
so hold and desperate have they jjrowp
in tljpiv pehtruffis piftctjoea, that the
proprietors of these places have cried
out against them—their monthly rob
bing of the hands on these p aces.
So, without any warning or noise to
arouse suspicion, deputy sheriff Cason,
of Ware, got on the scent last week,
and with deputies McDopaJtf
Thomas, captured eleven of them, ten

night, near Bolen, in W a re, and Fun
