A tew days ago the police received
inquiries born Detective Shackelford,
of the Central Cits Detective Agency,
at Macon, in regard %o certain par¬
ses supposed to be in this city, and
who are implies ted in breaking open
and robbing a store at Harlem, in
this State. The police at once spot¬
ted a well-known mulatto boy who
lives here, but who has been trivet-
ling around pretty extensively lately
and have kept him under surveillance
until yesterdaymorningwhen Shack¬
elford arrived from Birmingham.
The police then proceeded to arrest
the suspected party .Charlie Simmons,
and carried him to police headquar¬
ters, where he was recognised by the
deteetivS as being one of the parties
wanted, and he left with him at once
for Harlem, via, Macon, When ar¬
rested his manner and countenance
showed every evidence of guilt. Sim¬
mons was raptured without trouble,

"
everything was. so quietly managed
that he had not a suspicion that he
was wanted.
Detective Shackelford says the
evidence is conclusive against him
and that he will be convicted of the
crime. •
Mr. Shackelford also says that onr
much maligned friend, Will E. Sim¬
mons, is an equally guilty
party and will soon be under
arrest. The burglary amounted to
$200 in shoes and was committed on
the 28th ot May, on the store of A. 8.

Balk of tke Money.
It is reported that $30,000 is the
figure at which the celebrated case of
Langdon et al vs. T- P. Branch, o*
Augusta, was compromised and set'
tied yesterday. It is not known defi¬
nitely if these are the figures, and the
terms of settlement do not appear in
the order dismissing the case from
court, but parties m position to know
something about the matter, say
that the settlement of the $100,000
that Judge Speer ordered Major
Brandi to pay into court, was pend¬
ing a tew days ago on the basis of
$80,000.
It is understood that the original
$100,000paid to Major Branch by the
Central railroad through General Al¬
exander, was divided among several
parties, but Major Branch received
the bulk of the amount.
The vocal organs are strengthened by the
use ol Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. Clergymen,
lawyers, singers, actor*, and public speakers
find this preparation the most effective reme¬
dy for irritation and weaknees of the throat
and lungs, and for all affections of the vocal
organs.
-Inaccurate.
It has been published in some of
the papers this week that- theCoving-
ton and Macon had been sold to the
Northeastern railroad, and oh ac¬
count of this fact,presumably, the
work of surveying and budding the
Covington and Macon extension from
Machen to Griffin or McDonough had
been stopped. Those in position to
know say that there is nothing in the
report of the sale, hnd the suspension
of the running of the Machen-Griffin
branch has no significance whatever.

HAS IT COME?
THE TIME FOR BUILDING THE
LONG TALKED OF HOTEL!
B. K. Blakely Believe# It Has-Any-
how, tbs Old Georgia Has Com¬
menced to Come Down.
On yesterday, if a Work wril begfun
is half done, there was inaugurated
.for Griffin a bigger thing than tlie ex¬
periment farm, than.a new railroad
or than the on mills recently placed
upon a substantial foundation.
The rickety old verandas arbupd
the ugly old Georgia Hotel were pull¬
ed down.
That is all.
But it is the beginning of the end.
The end of the old era of doing
nothing and trusting to somebody
doing something for yon; of sitting
idly down and waiting for business
and prosperity to come unbidden.
The end of a good many old build¬
ings that must come down before
Griffin can enter into the glorious
heritage to which her many advanta¬
ges entitle her, and which her inevita-
bledestiny will sure!v bring her.
The beginning of a new era of prog¬
ress and development and growth in
every direction, of which the nucleus
has been slowly forming, but which
must have a modem hotel at its head
to bring outside help and wealth and
influence.
The old hotel will be tom down and
a new and modem one put up in its
place.
It will.not bedone in a day,though
it will be soon. For the present only
the verandas are to be removed, in
order to make the sidewalks safe and
passable.
The owners of the. property are B.
B. Blakely, John I. Hall and B. S.
Connell—three progressive citizens.
Mr. Blakely says he believes thetime
has come to build a good hotel—one
with a hundred rooms will do for the
present. There is every natural and
commercial advantage to make such
a building pay, and it will pay. With
the town awakened to its actual po¬
sition, on the topmost wave that is
lifting it into prominence and power,
now is the time to take advantage of
its activity. In another and perhaps
an apter figure, strike while the iron
is hot, and rest afterwards. He be¬
lieves that subscriptions can readily
be raised to tbe amount of $20,000
or $25,000, and that somebody can
be found who will put in os much
more and run the house. But no
definite plan has been formulated,
and the proprietors of tbe property
are not wedded to any particular
plan. But they bought the property
to put into a hotel, and they are just
the kind of men to carry out what
they undertake, with the able back¬
ing of Griffin’s other liberal and pub¬
lic spirited citizens.
Let tbe hotel be built!
