On Saturday afternoon, Chief of Police Willis received a telephone message from Thomaston stating that two negro criminals heavy armed had boarded the Thomaston train. The criminals were wanted at Butler, Ga. Mr. Willis procured Mr. J. B. Bankston to assist him and these two met the Thomaston train beyond the turntable and mounted the train, one on each side, just as it began to slack up. Mr. Willis mounted the front end of the car and Mr. Bank ston the rear end. They spied their prisoners and go ing up to one, Mr. Willis slapped him on the shoulder and told hint to con sider himself under arrest. The ne gro grabbed at his breast foi his pis tol but the wily chief had him covered and he dropped his hand. Just as Mr. Willis was lowering his pistol to hand cuff the prisoner, the negro grabbed again for his weapon. As quick as a race horse, the chief grabbed his pis tol and hit the negro a lick on the head that sent him to his seat the blood sputtering from the wound. The other negro had his pistol on the seat near him and Mr. Bankston grabbed it and quickly put him under arrest. The negroes were searched and on their persons were found $72-75- The criminals were guarded until Monday morning when officer, W. G. H. Ferguson of Upson Cos., came over and took them in charge. Meansville Fire. On Sunday morning, about 4 o'clock, the store of J. S. I.itsey & Son at Meansville, was found to be on fire. The front door was broken open hut flames rushed out and the stock and store were completely des troyed. The property was fully in sured, cause of fire unknown. Meansville has had several fires in the last few years. It is feared that a band of burglars are operating upon the Atlanta and Florida railroad and that most ot the damage is done by their setting stores on fire after burg larizing them. A Clever Trick. Mrs. T. T. Smiley has been both ered greatly by someone infesting her chicken roost. Kariy this week she decided, that she would make an effort to detect the rogue. Going to the chicken house, she tied a string to the door which she also tied to a chair in the house. In the night time she was aroused by the tailing of the chair. Slipping out to the chicken house, she dis covered a thief disturbing the feath ered flock. No doubt, the genteman was surprised and disagreeably so. He happened not to be one of our brothers in black, hut an unfortunate member of the Caucasian race. •We would advise chicken raisers to pass by Mrs. Smiley's when they go midnight hunting hereafter.

It is only when ill health has blasted the Bweet cleanliness of youth that death lurks upon its lips. The deadly germs of dread consumption are as ‘harmless as June-time butterflies to the young man or woman who is thoroughly clean, sweet and healthy in every fiber and tissue. The gfrms of disease only attack that which is already partly decayed. There is a great medicine that is a sure and certain protection against all germs and a speedy cure for all germ diseases. It is Ur. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discov ery. It gives youthful *est to the appetite. It corrects all faults of the digestion. It aids assimilation. It fills the blood with the vital, life-giving elements of the food. It builds sweet, clean, healthy tissues in every part of the body. It drives out all disease germs It cures 98 per cent, of all cases of bronchia], throat and lung affec tions if taken in time. AH good medicine dealers sell it, and have nothing “juat as good.” , Mr. Jo#. Henderson DirWun, of 544 Josephine Street, New Orleans, La., writes : “ I was ailing for some two years, suffering from dyspepsia, a tired feeling, and loss of energy and appetite. I tried one bottle of Dr- Pierce's Golden Medical Diacorery and found great relief. 1 took two more bottles, three in nil and one or two viala, bf the 4 Pellets, 1 when I was in good health kgain. I recommend Dr. Pieroe's Golden Medi-; fcal Discovery to do all that it i claimed to do." | rA man or woman who neglect* constipation suffers from slow poisoning Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets cure constipation. One little 11 Pellet ” is a gentle laa tive, and two a mild cathartic. All medicine dealers sell them. No other pill* are "just a good. ” A Magnificent Voice. Barnesville is noted for her musical talent; bnt she has one fine singer who is not known to the majority of the people. To hear l)r. Cotter sing is to decide that his voice is magnificent. It is a rich baritone and has a range that reaches even into the tenor. His singing fills one with wonder and admiration. Barnesville people would be great ly benefitted if they could more often listen to his magnificent voice. A Hustling Contractor. Mt. A. O. Bennett has made qnite a reputation in our growing city, as a contractor. Despite rain and wind and cold, he pushes work. Natural ability and long experience have made him highly skilled in the art ol building. It is reported that Mr. Bennett will build himseif a house here soon. We hope that he will settle in Barnes ville as he is a man that would he of great advantage to a thrifty commu nity. Returning Home. The Second Georgia Regiment has been mustered out and the members of that famous regiment have nearly all returned to their homes. Capt. Jno. F. Howard of Cos. F., was re tained in Atlanta a few days. The government does not settle with him until the company supplies reach Washington and are checked off. Of the members of Cos. F. that en listed from Barnesville, Mr. Aslniry Lambdin has been transferred to the 3d Ga. Vol. Infantry and Messrs William Green and Walter S. Reviere have joined the 3d U. S. Vol. Engin eers. The other members were mus tered but of the service and came home one by one. Some of them have returned to their old positions and have already resumed work. Although these hoys never got into the thick of the fight they had some “hot times" in Tampa and gained an experience that will be useful to them. Culloden Has Another Fire.
