The South Georgia Anual Conference

It is believed that Tom Wool folk, who
is confined in Bibb county jail for the
murder of the Woolfolk family, is going
crazy. He imagines he hears female
voices calling for help, and says lie sees
strange figures moving about the jail.
Several Georgia papers stated last
week that Mrs. Bishop Key was dying
We learn from the Macon Evening News
that this is a mistake. The Bishop's son
in-law h is recieved a letter from him,
stating that she is much better and that
it is their intention to leave Cuthbert for
their home in Texas at once, traveling
leisurely,
Deputy Sheriff Troy Holder of Stew
art county has developed into a firstclass
detective. He has run down and
brought to justice two murderers this
year that would have been good work
for some of the profesionals; viz. the
murderers of conductor Whigham and
Mr. Robt. E. Rogers. Would that we
had more Troy Holders in Georgia.
Rev. J. B. McGeehee, P. E. of the Co
lumbus District, paid Ellaville a visit
last Friday night. He is one of tip
preachers who never get through with
their,work. He will close his work on
next Monday night in Columbus and on
Tuesday morning will go to Conference
at Americus. He is getting to he an old
man now, but will put to shame most of
our young men when it, comes to down
right hard work. He is our candidate
for Presiding Elder of this District for
1890.
They are certainly getting crowded,
out West, The trouble between the
preachers and people in Georgia is that
the people can’t g >t the preacher at
their houses as often as they want him.
'The following is from the Atlanta Jour
nal;—The Bishop of North Dakota is
having a car built in which to make his
episcopal visitations. Spare beds and ac
commodations for strangers are so scarce
in his district that he finds it necessary
thus to imitate the actors and find him
self in bed and shelter. The ear will he
utilized as a chapel also for religious ser
* ices.
Editing a paper by a greenhorn is a
big job. That is the trouble with the
News this week. The editor is gone and
it is in the hands of a verdant sub, who
has one time thought it would he an

who, after trying it. finds out that edit
ing a newspaper is some work, too.
Just let copy fiends he yelling at you
every few minutes. “Copy! copy!'’ and
it you've got anything to write, you for

blame, and then, again, you might not
succeed, anyway. Sub.

DUPED BY A DETECTIVE.
('HAS. MILLER LAYS A TRAP FOR A PROM
INENT AMERICAS BANKER.
In the city today is Mr. John Windsor,
cashier of the People's National Bank,
of Americas and Mr. E. S. Hawkins, a
prominent lawyer of the same city.
Their business in Macon is the out
come of the carefully laid plans of a de
tective to entrap the former gentleman
into posing as a full fledged counter
feiter.
It seems that some time last week a
suspicious ten dollar bill was discovered
by Cashier Windsor among the hank's
money. Having doubts of its genuine
ness. lie put it aside, intending to refer
it to the hank examiner upon his next
visit. A few days later he was showing
the bill to an official of one of the other
hanks, hut said it was not his, as tie had
it locked in the vault. Upon counting
the cash at night, however, he found he
was mistaken and immediately went to
the bank holding the bill and redeemed
it. He was not then certain as to the
identity, but to save annoyance, and
knowing that his had oeen paid out, he
thought best to take it up. *
On last Thursday there appeared in
t'ne city a gentlemanly looking stranger
purporting to he a tourist, and having
formed the acquaintance of Mr. Dudley,
president of the Bank of Southwestern
Georgia, he let drop the fact that lie had
a hobby for collecting counterfeit hills,
and asked if the bank had any on hand.
The bank had not, hut referred him and
introduced him to Mr. Windsor, from
whom he was informed lie could get one.
The tourist wished to know what Mr.
Windsor would take for the bill, but at
first was refused the purchase of it. He
filially agreed to pay $5 for it, and ac
cordingly the bill was sold him. Mr.
Windsor saying that lie was not sure
that the money was counterfeit. Mr.
Windsor was then a member of the
grand jury and the detective, as lr- now
proved, sought to have Judge Fort re
lease him so that lie could he arrested.
This was refused and he immediately
came to Macon, had a warrant sworn out
charging the gentleman with counter
feiting. Mr. Windsor, however, came
on to Macon of his own accord on Tues
day, but the government wanted more
witnesses, so the case was put off until
today.
Mr. Windsor engaged Hon. Dupont
Guerry to assist Mr. Hawkins, and to
gather they are before Commission* r Er
win today trying to have the case dis
missed.
The News representative talked with all
<>f the above parties, and there can be no
doubt as to it being an unintentional
violation of the law.—Macon Evening
News.
INCREASING THE FAMILY LTST.
F. B. Nofsinger lias been appointed
postmaster at Kansas City, Mo. upon the
recommendation of Scott Harrison, a
Democrat of Kansas City and a brother
of President Harrison. The entire re
publican State committee, togethar with
hundreds of other Republicans, had urg
ed the appointment ot Erwin S. Jewett.
Nofsingers appointment has raised a
storm of indignation among the Repub
licans of Western Missouri. A Kansas
City Republican says of the appoint
ment: “’We are having too much
of a family on our hands. JUe
are under the heels of Scott Harrison ’
brother. Russell Harrison’s father and
Baby McKee’s grand father. The milk
and cream in this cccoanut is that Scott
Harrison’s son, Benjamin Harrison’s
nephew, Russell Harrison’s cousin and
Buhv McKee’s second cousin will he as
sistant postmaster at Kansas City.”
