A POLICEMAN nr TROUBLE. ■ The Charge of Burglary and Probably Arson Against Bin, ~ L ; - J. R Porter, for some time marshal of Sunny Side, is behind the prison bars in Griffin under serious charger. Friday night the pupils of Prof. W. G. Brown, of the public school in Sonny Side, had a publio debate,which many of the citizens attended. About 9 o’clock Marshal Porter en tered the school building and an nounced that Prof. Brown’s home was on fire. A general stampede of the male members of the audience was at once instituted, all heading for the scene of the conflagration. Upon arriving at the home of Prof. Brown It was found that the fire was io Mrs. Brown’s wardrobe, ’which was soon extinguished, but not until much damage was done the wearing apparel. After the fire the town soon assum» ed its normal quietude, and by mid* night all were wrapped in slumber, forgetting the disturbances of the early hours of the night. Shortly after 12 o’clock the marshal went to a lady’s bouse, in the suburbs of the village, and knocking upon the door asked admittance, stating that he was J. R. Porter, the city marshal. The lady told him if he did not leave she would raise the alarm and have him punished. He took her advice and departed Yesterday morning . the lady re ported to some of her neighbors what had happened the night before, when a committee awaited upon Porter and informed him that the best thing he could do weald be to leave town and never return. This advice ho acted upon and skipped out. Soon after leaving town some of Mrs. Brown’s dress.skirts were found in Porter’s room, and the discovery created considerable indignation. A warrant was at once sworn out, charg ing Porter with burglarizing Prof. Brown’s home, but Porter had fled. Griffin was notified at once by tele phone, and officers aeked to arrest Por ter if seen. Deputy Sheriff Freeman and Policeman Connor started at once for Sunny Side in a buggy, to get the tiail of the fugitive. About midway between Griffin and Sunny Side Porter was met, and upon recognizing the officers sought to escape by running. A hot chase fol lowed, during which several shots were fired at the fleeing Porter, who was finally overtaken and brought to Grif fin and placed in jail. There seems to be no doubt as to Porter’s guilt of burglary, and the in dications point strongly to him as the person who fired the house in order to cohceal his theft. Porter is a single man and offers as an excuse for visiting the lady’s home on Friday night, that he was drunk. He will probably have lime now to sober up. Water in Citizens’ Cemetery. Editor Morning Call : I was very glad to epe your editorial in your isjue of Feb. 25 in regard to the expediency of running a branch water main into lhe cemetery. This is a very much needed convenience—in fact, it is real ly a necessity, and should be so con sidered by the city fathers. The users of water thus supplied would doubtless be willing to pay any reasonable small tax for lhe privilege, rather tbau do without or be compell ed to carry water from home in jugs and kegs, as some have been forced to do for a long time. The citizens who have had the mis fortune to become personally interest ed in lhe “Silent City of the Dead,” and those who have yet only a pros pective personal interest, are alike willing and desirous to see this im provement made. For one, the writer would bo willing to furnish his own hydrant, bib and hose, if the city will lay the pipes and turn on the water. But this ought not to be necessary. The city sells the lots at high prices and the money goes into the treasury. The owners are entitled to lhe ordi nary advantages and faoilites that are furnished in cemeteries located in e cities of the size aqd dignity of Griffin —among which a good supply of pure, clean water is only next in importance to good police protection. Let the council act, and act at once. Spalding, CASTORIA For Infants and Children. st iiiit /if stSMtan<Zl _ wwy Educate Toor Beveto With Caacareta. Candy Cathartic, cure constipation forever.

Its Organization Perpetuated and Philanthrophy Unwavering A few days since the Call, at the request of a member of lhe sseoclatioo, spoke ot the probable disbandment of the organization, which brought forth the following pleasing communication, which we gladly publish : Griffin, Ga , Feb. 26 Editor Call :—The Ladies Memo rial association will not dieband. The article io the Morning Call a few days ago to the effect that this patriotic association would likely disband was an error. Ten days before the article appeared the association held a meeting and Mrs. Dr. T. J. Collier was unanimously elected president of the association. This patriotic and public spirited lady, with the earnest assistance of the wives and daughters of Confederate soldiers, will continue to maintain the noble institution and annually on the 26th of April, the graves of our beloved defenders will be decorated with na tures loveliest flowers, aud one of Georgia’s gifted sons will tell of the heroism, fidelity and loyalty cf the boys who wore the grey, and keep fresh in our children’s memory the courage and bravery of those who sleep under the sod having given their lives in defense ol our southland. As long as memory lasts, as long as patriotism endues, there will be true southern women in Griffin to sustain the Ladies’ Memorial Association. Let all such, married aud single, meet the president in the parlors of the Y. M. C. A. building Thursday af ternoon at 3 o’clock. A Member. Death of Mrs. Joshua Hammond- On the 25th of January, last, the home of Mr. Joshua Hammond, in Cabin district, was instantly trans formed from a place of happiness, peace and joy into a house of sorrow and mourning, by the sudden death of the wife aud mother. Mrs. Hammond’s death was sudden and unexpected. She was attending to her acbu&tomed household duties, when stricken down with paralysis and died in leas than 20 minutes A strange coincidence in the life ol Mrs. Hammond was related to the Call yesterday by one who knew and loved her well. She was married to her surviving husband/Joebua Hammond, on Janu ary 25,1866, at 6 o’clock p. m. She was stricken down and died as the clock struck 6 on the evening of Janu ary 25, 1898—having been a patient, loving wife for exactly 32 years to the minute. She bad many warm friends among her circle of acquaintances, whose hearts were crushed over her sudden demise. There is more Catarrh in this section of he country than all the other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a consti tutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.. Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu tional cure on the market, jit is taken in ternally in doses from 10 drops to a tea spoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and tes timonials. Address, F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O. Sold by druggists, 75c. Hall’s Family Pills are the best.
