THE PLACE:—
119 Forsyth St.,
AMERICUS, GA.
There was In Americua Thursday an
old man whoso form is bent and whose
hair has boon silver-streaked by the
frosts of time, who came on a sorrowful
mission.
He was looking for his daughter, >
beautiful and vivacious young lady of
18, with chestnut hair, lovely brown
eyes that are large and pathetie, a com'
plexion creamy in Its whiteness, save
where the primrose flush of perfect
health mantles each cheek, and a form
that Is the envy of some of her city sis
ters. All this and more is Miss Eva
Hargrove.
That is the name of the young lady,
and the name of the old gentleman who
is looking for her is W. S. Hargrove, one
of tho most respected citizens of Berrien
county. Tho story that he told is ono
brimming over with a father’s love for
his child, and one that will cause many
who read it lo hope that tho old man’s
hunt may be successful.
Mr. Hargrove lives somo distance in
the country from Tifton. Ho is well-to-
in the things of the
world and is a man who has
been honored by those among whom
he lives. Still he is but a common
farmer. The little house where ho
makes his home furnished an abiding
placo for himself and his daughter, Miss
Eva, who has been described. To say
that this young lady is beautiful would
be puttiug it mildly, If one could judge
correctly from tho picture which the
old man exhibited here. She has been
given every advantage which could have
been given her, she being the only liv
ing child and her mother having died
few weeks after she was born. Miss Eva
has only been back about six or eight
weckB from Nashville, where she gradu-
ated with distinction.
When sLo got homo she found an ad
dition to the family in the person of
Mr. II. W. Turner, a lightning rod agont
whom ho had taken in while ho was put
ting rods on the house. Turner and
Miss Eva bccamo very intimate. They
would seek each other's company and
seemed to be satisfied only when they
were together.
Turner liked to drink anil when ho
would drink he talkod too much,
One day while ho was in Ills
cups he told a friend of old
man nargrove’s, with whom he too had
become intimate, how ho was going to
entice Miss Eva away from home under
the belief that he would marry her,
which he said he would never do. That
friend told Mr. Hargrove what he had
been told. The father talkod with bis
daughter and ordered Turner to lose no
time about leaving the place.
Turner didn't go far. He probably
knew bow well he had succeeded in
capturing the young lady. She refused
to listen to what her father bad said.
Several notes were passed between she
and Turner. The result was that .they
ran away Tuesday night. Aa soon.as
he found out that they had gone away
Mr. Hargrove started in pursuit. Hs fol
lowed them to Albany. He found, that
Turner and his daughter had spent
Wednesday night in a house of ill repute
there, leaving on a train coming' this
way—the train which arrived hero at
337 Thursday morning. It was also
found that Turner bought tickets from
Albany to Birmingham byway of Ameri
cus and Columbus.
Mr. Hargrove Is satisfied that Turner
has ruined his daughter, and that he
will desert her and leave her to a life of
shame before the old man, who loves
her better than his own life, can find
her.
Mr. Hargrovo la about heart-broken
but is mad, and it will not be healthy
for Turner if tho old man whom he
wronged comet in contact with him.
Telegrams have already been sent to
Birmingham giving a doscriptioa of
Turner and his victim, and asking tho
police to cake them in charge if they
arrive there. If Turner is brought back
to Georgia and to Berrien county he
will probably be lynched, unless he can
prove conclusively that bo has not
harmed the young lady.
