Do not fail to heed the above as I am in earnest. Two gentlemen from Webster county were in town yesterday to secure help to obtain ammunition to capture two men who are doing mischief and disturbing the peace of the settlement. These men who are supposed to be es caped convicts are armed and secreted In a jungle of about four hundred acres on the plantation of Dr. D. M. nail. One of them is said to be either a white man or a bright mulatto and the other black. Last Saturday was the tlrat time it was known that these outlaws were In the settlement by one of them shooting a negro boy In the hip as he was passing through a thick wood going to the spring. Several other negro boys were shot at as they passed along the roads. This aroused the men of the settle ment and a hunt was instituted. They have been seen eaoh day since last Sat urday but the posse was too small to capture them in such a thick jungle. Charlie Brooks got a glimpse of one of the men as be was retreating like a deer In a close path through this wilderness but he was out of sight beforo Brooks could draw a bead on him with his rifle. They were searching for tho men again Tuesday and in passing In the outskirts of the jungle Joe Henderson heard something snap, and looking in tho di rection of,the sound|saw the head of both mon peered abovo a log behind which they were lying. One of the men snap ped his pistol three times at Joe, but it would not Are, and both of them jurap- ped up and ran like deers. Joe fired his single barrelled gun loaded with Ho. 7 shot at them but whether he hit them or not Is not known. It ho had the small shot would only have accelerated their speed. They were also seen Wednesday, the day Gordoitand Brooks were In town, but at sufh’a distance to be safe from their pursuers. That settlement is stirred from center to circumference and women and chil dren are frightened out of their wits, The settlement Is sparsely settled with white people, which Increased the fear of the weak and unprotected. A posse headed by the sheriff is still after the men and evory effort will be made to capture them if that is possible. you do not come. GEO. D. iiO ,113 TLEY. OUT MR.

That question was asked by many yes terday when they saw it officially an nounced In The Times-Rscobdeb that he was to be superintendent of the Southwestern no longer. Wbat he will do no one but himself knows, but The Times-Recoiideb has It from a Central man who quoted a high authority what he will be offered. As Is known Mr. Curran is to be, after Au gust 1, superintendent of the Southwestern. The territory of the road Is almost doubled, that is the mileage has been almost doubled. While the Richmond A Danvlllo people think one man can enperintend the whole thing, they are aware of the fact that the division is so situated that two train masters will be necessary. One of tbeso will be at Macon with Superln'en- dent Curran. The other will have his headquarters In Columbus. Mr. T. C. Molse- will be offered tho Macon place. Mr. McKenzie will be offered tie Columbus place. That will bo a drop from super intendent to train master for both of them. Whether they will care to ac cept the places or not is a matter entire ly with them. Owing to the source from which It was obtained, The Times- Recoiider Is almost willing to affirm that those places will bo offored them. Supt. Curran will carry Mr. E. Ford, at present raed master of of .tho Savannah <fc Western, with him to hold down tbs same place on the Southwestern. That lets tho present roadmaster, Mr. Wil liams, out. What other changes will be made in. the Southwestern’s men Is not known yot.
