THE DODGE COUNTY FAIR
Fine Exhibits—-Splendid Itaeinj
—Good .Music—Large
Crowds of People.
The inclement weather of the
opening day (Wednesday) kept
the large crowds from the fair
grounds that would have other¬
wise been there. As it was, liow
ever, there was a fair attendance,
and everybody was delighted.
The various exhibits are better
than ever before—in fact they
were a revelation to many of our
people.
The races were very exciting,
aud were greatly enjoyed by ev¬
erybody.
The Eastman Cornet band was
present and discoursed excellent
music at intervals during the day.
The band is furnishing music ev
day, and is winning golden opin¬
ions from those present.
Yesterday the weather was
most delightful. In fact had the
day been made to order it could
not have been better suited for
the occasion Everybody went
out to the fair grounds, viewed
the exhibits, admired the baby
show, enjoyed the races, and
were happy.
The fail is proving a most ae
cided success. Owing to the fact
that the Times Journal goes to
press Thursday afternoon it is
impossible to give a more extend¬
ed account of the many attrac¬
tions this week. In our next is¬

OBITUARY
Little Willie, son of Mr. and
Mis. II. W. Carswell, was born
Nov. 18, 18S9, in Chauncey. Ga..
aud died at 2:40 o’clock a. m. Sep
tember 22,1891.
This is a brief record of ihe life
and death of a little one, but it
tells between these dates of ten¬
der ties that bound sister and
brothers to the pet of the house¬
hold,—o i the father’s fond pride
in his little one; of the mother's
attention and sacrifice, her love
and devotion; of the saddened
hearts; of the darkened home.
The little one was sick about
tiiree weeks and the day previous
to his death ills sufferings were
intense. However, a short time
before the summons came, his
breathing became soft and sweet
and so gently did the spirit wing
its flight that it was before the
great white throne almost before
the fond sisters and brothers, the
devoted parents and anxious
friends were aware. The patience
of the little sufferer was remark¬
able in one so young. All that
could be rendered was done for
his relief. The attending physic¬
ian. Dr. Clark, was unremitting in
his kind and thoughtful atten
ti onsand did all that medical skill
could for the little one's relief.
Mother love was never more
fondly and faithfully shown than
in the case of this child. All its
brief life she had given almost
her entire time to its wants and
needs, and she feels now in her
bereavement, that a part of her
very life had been taken from her.
To the fond parents and other
loved ones, we offer our heartfelt
sympathy. May they be able to
siy, “The Lord gave and the Lord
has taken away, blessed lie the
name of the Lord.” May they be
enabled by divine grace to see the
hand of God in their afliicion.
May they feel that the death of
the little one is but another link
to bind them to Heaven, and may
they be able to put their entire
trust in that loving Savior, who
8ald > “suffer little children to
come unto me and forbid them
n °L I° r of such is the kingdom
of Heaven, and may they bow
in meek and humble submission
to the will of Him, who doeth all
th,ngs well and wisely. May
death of little WilJie draw, not
°nly the hearts of the family, but
°f the entire community, closer
to God, and may this heavy alflic
lion be sanctified to the good of
*»• m. We can see the WoK- lovely face,
the deal form, no more on eaith,
but thank God, we can join him,
and all the other loved ones, in
the bright beyond where there is
no more sickness, no more sorrow
no more dvino
-Go to thy ict, fuirchil.l;
°r sorrow waked tbe tear,,
RUe to thy throne of ehangless rest,
In celestial sphere.”

I HE DEFIES ARREST.
John Dowdy, the Slayer
{ Young Studstill, Says he
Wilt Not be Taken
Alive.
; Cokdele. Ga., Oct. 7.—Here is
an interesting story of John Dow
dy, who, although he slew young
j Studstill two years ago in Dodge
j county, has not yet been arrested.
He lives with his father, Wil
liam Dowdy,about six miles south
east of Cordele, and says that lie
| will not be arrested alive.
The friends of Studstill have of
I fered a reward of $200. and the
governor has offered $100 more
for his arrest, making the total
reward of $300.
A few days since. Dowdy was
surrounded at Seville, Ga., by a
crowd of men, and no doubt would
j ^ive interference been arrested, of his but friends. for the A
general fight followed the at¬
tempt to aid Dowdy, and pistols,
sticks, knives were used freely.
During the melee Dowdy eseap
ed.
Last week, Ben Morris, tie
marshal of Cordele, l who is con¬
sidered one of the bravest and
pluckiest men in Georgia, in com
pany with Mr. G. R. Matthews,
started out to capture Dowdy, and
take him dead or alive.
They mounted horses and left
for Dowdy’s home, thinking no
doubt, of the reward in store for
them. While musing in this hap
pv style they met Dowdy in the
road driving a yoke of oxen.
Quick as a flash Marshal Mor¬
ris drew a bead on Dowdy with a
double-barrelled shot gun and or¬
dered him to throw up his hands,
at the same time telling Matthews
to put on the handcuffs.
“I won’t throw up my hands
and you can’t make me,” replied
Dowdy.
With this Dowdy pulled out a
big pistol to the tune of “Johnny
Get Your Gun,” and walked slow
ly off, explaining to the marshal
and Matthews that before they
arrested him they would have to
kill him.
Dowdy has passed through at
least twenty as thrilling exper¬
iences, but the above two are suf¬
ficient to show the mail’s nerve
in 1 recklessness.
A gentleman passing by the
homestead a few days ago,
William Dowdy and inquired
his son, John.
“There he is, over there,” re¬
the father, “but no one can
hirn, and he is going to stay
“I will give myself up only on
condition,” said John, “and
that is if the court will decide
mine is a bailable case. Un¬
til then I will not be taken alive.”
The members of the Dowdy
family, although a very secluded
set, have always been considered
well-to do, honest fanners. They
are full of spirit, quick to reseut
ail insult, and have schooled them¬
selves to believe (hat John is im¬
posed upon and is being persecu¬
ted without cause.
They will fight to tie death
rather than see John go to jail.
Four men went from here yes¬
terday lo arrest Dowdy, but failed
to bag their game.
Mr. A. C. McDonald, Deputy
United States Maislial, who is lo¬
cated in Cordele, has the warrant
in liis possession, and has made
several ineffectual attempts to
make the arrest, although Dowdy
could always be found.
This is a great chance for some
one who wishes to make $300.
