Honesty.In Black.
Returning from Americus a few days
since, Mr. R. L. Greer, our worthy Or
dinary, discovered that Ids cash was ten
dollars short. He had been down to
turn over some money collected from

dollars too much, but had no idea which

ning’s crossing on the S f , A. & Al. rail

“Don't worry boss,” [said the fellow,
“I kuow every one of them niggers,
they are honest, and I tell you that the
money will be returned just as soon as
one of them finds he has it.” Sure
enough, a letter came next day from J.
W. Bussell, of Americus, one of the par
ties, stating that in counting his money
he bad discovered that he was ten dol
lars ahead and asking Mr. Greer if he
had not made a mistake in counting.
The Ordinary explained that he had and
sent an addressed envelope for its re
turn. Tuesday the envelope returned
with the money in it.
Those who believe that there is no
honor in the colored race simply don’t
know them all and judge the entire
race by the worst characters among
them.
The editor of the Citizen while driv
ing through Schley county, not long
ago, lost his pocket book containing
papers and money. After searching in
vain for it we finally gave it up as
gone.
Charley Powell, a negro boy about 18
years of age, son of Tom Powell, who
lives four miles east of Kllavillo, passing
along the same road found the pocket
book and without any display or ado,
hunted us up and returned the book and
money. #
Of course there aie hundreds of ne
groes who are not so scrupulous about
how they obtain money, yet are there
many others who aro as honest as the
two mentioned.—Macon County Citizen

A writer in a Boston paper recom

enough! But than if they do not cure

they run the risk of breaking their re
flectors and destroying valuable prop
erty.

A Little Hoy Badly Hurt.
The little son of Mr. J. W. McClean
of Richland happened to a serious acci
dent on Tuesday which may cost the lit
tle fellow his life.
While playing he fell in some unknown
way from a window and is now lying
unconscious with little hopes of recov
ery. The fond parents have the sym
pathy of many friends who wish that
the little boy may yet pull through and
be the joy of the household once more.

At Lean That Is What the Attending Phy
sician Thinks of Peter West’s Case.
Yesterday morning about 10 o’clock
Dr. J. H. Winchester was summoned to
the bedside of Peter West, colored, who
had A short time before arrived at home
and been stricken with peculiar symp
toms. the muscles of his body were en
tirely relaxed, and an examination by
I)r. Winchester revealed the symptoms
of a narcotic poisoning. West’s wife
told the doctor that her husband had
been drinking, and that ho was
only under the influence of whis
key, but recognizing immediately
that something unusual ailed his patient,
he used a stomach pump. But after
using the pump he could detect no trace
or odor of whiskey, though West, wdiom
the doctor speedily restored, insisted
’.hat he had only been drunk.
Dr. Winchester quickly succeeded in
bringing his patient around, and from
his examination is confident that West
attempted suicide and neither his wife
or himself wished the fact known.
Two New Boarders,
Sheriff Troy Holder is at his same old
tricks. He got in a good piece of work
yesterday and brought over two new
boarders for the Americus jail last
night. About a year since three negroes
Walter Glen, Tom and Mary Thornton,
were convicted and sent to Clegg &
Coney’s brick yard in Dooly county,
where they were to servo one year. At
the expiration of the sentence they were
each to spend three months in jail.
Glen complied with the law and is now
in the Lumpkin jail.
Tom and Mary Thornton made their
escape last December, and though every
effort was made to capture them, Sheriff
Holder searching all through Florida in
March last, they managed to stay clear
of him. The negroes it seemed were
only waiting for their time in the chain
gang to expire and their idea was to re
turn, serve the three months in jail and
then go their way rejoicing. But the
law dont work that way, so upon their
arrival home, Sheriff Holder introduced
them to the cold facts in the case. They
are now in the Americus jail, and it is
probable they will go to brick making
again.
“Counting Chicken*,” Ac.
The S., A. & M. will soon run trains
into the city and with it will come the
forming of business relations with a sec
tion of country heretofore not reached
by rail. The trade of that section will
come to Montgomery and bo cordially
welcomed.—Montgomery Advertiser.
From the above it would seem that
Montgomery is banking upon hopes that
will never be realized. The “forming of
business relations” will no doubt occur,
but it will take place somewhere in the
neighborhood of ninety miles cast of
Alabama’s capital city, and it is a pity
that she has hugged to her breast the de
lusive idea that “the section of country
heretofore not reached by rail” will do
its business w ith her, for therein lies
bitter disappointment for Montgomery.
The aforesaid section of country is ab
solutely certain to come eastward to es
tablish Its business relations and Ameri
cus is the point at which they will be
established. Sorry for Montgomery, but
facts are facts.

th
You have heard a ureal deal about the advance ou Carpets i n
consequence of the McKinley bill, and the half has hardly been told ;
but my opposition to a protective tariff leads me to do all that I can to
lessen the burdens it imposes, and I am determined to sell y ou
Carpets AS IOW AS YOU EVER BOUGHT THEM, REGARD-
LESS OF THE TARIFF.
To enable mo to do this I sell for CASH, and at MUCH
SHORTER PROFITS than I could do on a CREDIT. I will take
great pleasure in showing my Carpets to everybody.

An Industrious Farmer.
Mr. J. J. Creamer, who lives in Ma
rion county, live miles from Buena Vis
ta, has thoroughly illustrated the theory
of substantial independence. lie has
already harvested 15 bales of cotton,
150 bushels of corn, and made 50 gallons
of syrup, and this done solely by him
self and family, as he has not hired one
day’s outside labor during the year.

Don’t!—If a dealer offers you a bottle
of Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup without
wrapper or labels, or in a mutilated con
dition, don’t touch it—don’t buy it at
any price, there is something wrong—it
may bo a dangerous or worthless coun
terfeit. Insist upon getting a perfect,
unbroken, genuine package.
Dr. and Mm. A. B. Hinkle Better.
The many friends of I)r. and Mis. A.
B. Hinkle will be more than glad to
learn that both are improving rapidly
from the recent severe illness to which
they have been subjected and that com
plete recovery is only a matter of short
time.
I)r. Hinkle’s case was one of blood-
poison, anti contracted from a ‘too close
examination of a patient after a surgical
operation. This is a busy time with him
and last uight he was compelled to trans
fer a telegraphic call from another place
ou account of not yet having sufficiently
recovered to attend to professional du
ties.
