from a rifle near there about 2
o’clock today while on his daily
round.
The report states that a desper
ate man, suspected of the crime,
was out with his Winchester,
searching for other parties, and
threatening to kill them; and that
he occused them of having given
information as to the location of
his illicit distillery, which was
discovered by revenue men some
time ago. The message stated
that parties who heard the shot
soon saw this man coming from
that direction with his gun, and it
was rumored that he suspected
Barker of giving information
against him.
Sheriff Charles L. Howell hasten
ed to the scene in response to the
message. This is the first time
his services have been needed since
he assumed the duties of the
office. Trouble is anticipated.
Barker was a single man.”

THE BARNESVILLE NEWS-GAZETTE, THURSDAY. JANUARY 29, 1903
The Two Men I Saw Last Night.
The first man I saw last night
Was sml. forlorn and full of care:
Transformed into an angel Of light,
So he felt no need of prayer.
Hi* said no one cared for his soul,
Though he pleaded with all his might;
The rich possessed a world of gold
And would not do what was right.
He was drifting down the stream of life
Full of sorrow and smitten with blight,
And was lost in the current of strife;
The last I saw of the poor man last night.
The others with joys did abound,
Having no sorrow, need or rare,
He enjoyed whatever tie found,
And had no need of prayer.
He just lived a life of ease
And had nothing now to dread,
No one but himself to please
No matter to him what you said.
He seemed fixed on life’s river bank,
And possessed all that was ill sight,
He had no need of a God to thank;
The lich man I saw last night.
Although the pictures are not one;
Yet closely allied together,
Man has no right to despond.
Nor any to slight his brother.
Neither poverty nor riches was the wise
man's prayer,
But feed me with eovinent food.
So that I may not die in despair,
Nor be full and forget God.
—.T. H Reese.
A Roller Mill.
Why would not a good roller
mill pay well in Barnesville?
There are quite a good many who
thing that such a mill, to cost
about SIO,OOO, would pay hand
somely. Such an enterprise
would not only pay the people
who invested their money in it,
but it* would pay the town and
the people of this section. It
would afford a market for grain
and this would cause farmers to
grow more grain. Mr. S. M.
Howard, wlio has talking
the matter some, says that he is
authorized to speak for party
who will put $7,000 in sifeh a mill,
if the people of Barnesville will
take the other $3,000. It seems
to be a splendid opportunity for
Barnesville to secure a good enter
prise. A mill of this kind with
proper management will be a val
uable industry.
A Moonshiner Qot
Very Off Lightly.
James Cox, of Pike County, con
victed in the United States court
of illicit distilling, was sentenced
yesterday’by Judge Speer to two
months in jail and a fine of SI.OO.
Judge Speer told Cox that he de
served a sentence to the peniten
tiary, but in consideration to his
wife and five children, he would
make the sentence as noted in the
foregoing.
He was told if he could give a
bond of SBOO, to be approved by
the clerk of the court or the U. S.
commissioner, he would be given
a chance to go home and make his
crop, but must return by July Ist
and serve out his sentence.
Judge Speer admonished the
prisoner to not expect or ask for
a suspension of sentence, or a
commutation, as it would not be
granted.
Cox was caught with the goods
in his possession’ having two jugs
of moonshine strapped on his
shoulder and one in his hand,
fresh from the worm, when he
was arrested. He was coming
from the still located near his
house at the time he was arrested.
There was only one route to the
illicit, and that led direct to the
prisoner’s house.—Macon Tele
graph, Saturday.
