The following ItVm we get from

‘•Mr. John 8toven« came from Stevens’
Pottery Saturday after an escaped convict,
who Is confined In Muscogee county Jail,
hut he didn't get him.
The man Mr. Stevens wanted Is Berry
Fletcher, the negro awaiting trial here for
stealing Mr. Joel Bush’s buggy. The man
Is also charged with stealing several other
horses and buggies.
Mr. Stevens Informs us that the negro's
real name Is Green Trice. Ho was sen
tenced from Sumter county several years
ago for larceny. His original sentence was
for twelve months. He was hired out to
Mr. Stevens and after serving four months
of his term made his escape. He was cap
tured and, as Is provided by the laws of
Georgia, was resentenced for another year.
After serving eight months of hls second
sentence, Trice escaped again In April
lust.
Mr. Stevens attempted to get an order
from Judge Smith to take the negro back
to serve put bis sentence, hut the Judge re
fused to grant the order. Trice will be tried
here, and, If convicted, will serve out hls
term before entering upon the term from
Muscogee."
The negro referred to Is the same
one who stole Mrs. Davenport’s
horse, and whom Mr. Burt Alexan

understand he was not sent from

• Quite a Nice Hum.
Yesterday a Recorder reporter
happened to be at the Bank of
Southwestern Georgia when Mr. C.
C. Stone, of tlie Southwestern rail
road office, came in and made hls
dally deposit, and received a check
of the bank on the Central Railroad
und Banking Company for $1,081.67,
the amount of money the Amerleus
office would forward to the treasurer
of the company, collected In the
twenty-four hours previous.
It almost paralyzed the reporter
wheu Mr. Stone informed him that
during the months of September,
October, and November the Ameri
cas office of the road averaged $30,-
OOlla month, over $1,000 per day.
During the year it is estimated that
tlie receipts at the Ainerieus office
average between $300 and $400 per
day. The Amerleus is the best paying
office—that is, retnrns more money
—than any office South of Macon.
This is but a slight indication of
which is the best business town in
Southwest Georgia.

The Rl.e in Cotton.
The rise in cotton last week came
just in time to help a number of
Sumter county farmers, who, In a
few days or a week more, would have
sold cotton they have been holding
all season, waiting for a- raise.
The speculators must hare let their
feet slip, or the raise would never
have been. Cotton Is generally
pressed down until it is out of the
poor planters hands, when the pres
sure is lifted, and the price goes up
with u rush. We are glad to know
that some of our Sumter and other
county friends have been benefitted
by holding. Everybody who has
any cotton is getting it to town,
now, as fast as possible, while the
price is good.
Married, Yet No Husband.
Something overayearago Mance-
fleld Hill, a well-known restaurant
cook of Amerleus, against whom
nothing can truthfully be said, be
came jealous of hls lady-love, and
early one cold December morning
hied himself to that turlild stream,
the [great Muckulee, to end his
troubled existence, and, if possible,
bring his truant “girl” to look upon
the work of her faithlessness.
But a true and tried friend
followed the footsteps of brave
Mancetteld, and persuaded him that
there was as good fish lu tlie stream
as those that bad been hooked.
Since Mien Manceflcld has traveled
a great deal in this and adjoining
States but, finding no comfort
In wandering, returned to Amerleus
and sought a new love in the
person of Miss Rosa Turpin.
Love-making proceeded nicely;
presents were in order, and as time
passed, Mancefleld became engaged
to his new “girl.” After some per
suasion the day was fixed and
Mancefleld was onee more made
happy. Wlthou money, except
enough to buy the necessary docu
ment to make her hls own and pay
the parson, Mancefleld, on last
Thursday night, proceeded, with
Rev. J. C. Bryan, to the palatial
flat of the fair one, and amid the
joyous shouts of friends and rela
tives he and his dusky loved one
were happily mated. All went
as .merry as a marriage bell, and
Mancefleld thought he had at last
reached the marital paradise he had
so long desired.
But hls happy dreams were to be
rudely dissipated and he be made
to feel that there is many a slip
twlxt the lustful lip and the cup of
happiness. Hls bride x-ery flatly
and firmly declared that though
hound to him by law she.would have
no more of him, and he was ban
ished into outer darkness. With
the hope that loving pleading would
yet soften the heart of hls abilurate
bride, he submitted with the best
grace he could for a time. But
time, pleadings and expostulations
proved of no avail In softening the
heart of hls bride, and patience
ceasing to be a vlrture, Mancefleld
now declares that the law must be
carried out to the letter; that this
was no secret marriage, and he is
going to have hls wife or there will
be trouble. He does not propose to be
married and have no wife; to be a
husband In deed but not in fact.
He proposes to employ the strong
arm of the law to bring his obdu
rate wife to terms.
