TUB ZOO RACE.
The animals thought they would have
a race.
The monkey was referee;
The bull was stakeholder, for, as he said,
It was his nature to be.
The camel got a hump on himself;
The lion ran with might and mane;
The tiger stood off, for a beast of his
stripe
Was not to enter again.
The elephant took his trunk along
In case he won the prize;
The peacock was starter and missed no
one,
For, you see, he was all eyes.
Some spotted the leopard for winner
sure;
The old ones chose the gnu,
While those who leap to conclusions
quick
Bet on the kangaroo.
The ostrich plumed himself on his
speed;
All tried the record to wreck;
The hippopotamus blew his own horn,
But the giraffe he won by a neck.

Paint and Brush Up.
With tho approach of spring we
hope to see a general painting and
brushing up in Griffin. Nothing
improves a city more than to have
its residences and fences In good re

Not only should dwellings and
stores be painted for spring, but
people should begin to remove all
rubbish and trash that has accumu
lated during the winter months,
and thus get everything in a sanita
ry condition and ward off disease
that is brought on in the summer by
an unclean state of things around
the premises.

’ TRAGEDY IN WILKES.
Dr. Tharpe Is Slain by Frank Ruck
er on Public Road.
Washington, Ga., Feb. 14. —On the
public road between Tignall and' Pis
tol, this county, Dr. J. I. Tharpe was
shot and instantly killed by Frank
Rucker.
Some while ago Tharpe was in the
home of Rucker in his absence and, U
is said, embraced Mrs. Rucker and
otherwise insulted her.
When Rucker learned 'of Tharpe’s
visit he loaded his shotgun and in
company with his brother, set out for
Tharpe’s residence. They met in the
road and Tharpe commanded Rucker
to throw up his hands.
Rucker replied by throwing his gun
to his shoulder and emptying its con
tents into Tharpe’s body, while he held
a drawn pistol; as though he was par
alyzed. Rucker then broke the gun
in pieces over the body of Tharpe.
Both parties are well to do people,
who recently moved to Wilkes from
Elbert county. Tharpe leaves a wife
and several children. Rucker recent
ly married a very attractive Wilkes
county girl.
Immediately after the tragedy Ruck
er came to Washington and surrender,

DOUBLE CRIME SUSPECTED.
Negro Wanted To Marry—Alleged
Former Wife Disappears.
Columbus, Ga., Feb. 14. —The Girard
police are searching for a negro named
Clark Wilch, who is wanted on a very
serious charge.
It seems that Wilch’s marrlge to a
negro woman was scheduled for last
night, but was deferred for the reason
that objection was entered by another
negro woman, who claimed to be
Wilch’s wife, and who appeared on the
scene with a child which she said was
Wilch’s.
Today the woman and her child dis
appeared. The officers are suspicious
of foul play, and circumstances indi
cate that perhaps a double murder was
committed. Search is being made for
the woman and child, as well as the
man.
