A Preacher Steals a Pistol.
"Rev* W H CoJIir.s, colored, is lan
guishingin our jail, all on account of a
peculiarity lie has of taking what does'nt
belong to him. A few weeks ago Judge
T a yi or missed a fine pistol from his
room , and a little quiet detective work
i eft no doubt in his mind that Collins
wag the theif who had gotten it. The
negro was arrested Tuesday and made
a full confession. He stated that he
traded the p , sto l to a negro in Marion
county, but had never gotten any pay
tor jt, Mr Hudson believes that this
same negro stole the ham from his yard
Saturday night. He hails from Augusta
and R as been posing as a very devout
minister of the gospel. Tne negroes say
he preached with unusual fervor and
Sunday, and prayed the “beautfullest’
prayer they ever heard. No doubt he
was inspired by the bountiful supply of
ham he had laid in.
More Mad Dogs.
There seems to he more dogs than
were ever before heard of in Schley coun
ty and every other one, according to re
ports, is goiDg mad. A few days ago
Air j g Womack was attacked in his
yard and only escaped being bitten by
knocking the animal in the head with a
hoe. Mr Ford Stewart killed a dog Mon
day that seemed bent on chewing up
everything that crossed his path, a good
raan y people believe that the dogs have
been poisoned by strychnine. This dan
gerous practice of throwing poison
around should be stopped. If you want
to kill a dog. get a gun and shoot him
dead, then you will he sore that there is
no danger in him. It is inhuman to
torture even a brute by the slow process
of poisoning.
