THE NAME— b su urns H SHOE STORE. 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. President J. W. Wheatley has sent out B.—No goods charged at ^eso cut prices, but will be oharg- e ‘l at our regular prices. JOHN B. SHAW. Specimen Cates. S. II.
