YOUTHFUL NEGRO |
KILLS ANOTHER.
As the result of a quarrel he-]
t ween two negro hoys at Glen wood
last Friday, one of thou was
stahhed to the heart and instantly
killed.
Charley Tyson, a boy of about
17, was the victim, while his slay
er, Jim Troup, is barely 15. The;
particulars of the affair are not i
known, more than that the boys 1
had n quarrel. There were a num
ber of eyewitnesses t o the tragedy.
Troup was taken over to Glen-1
wood Tuesday and given a prelim
inary hearing before Judge A. A.
Galbraith, who hound him over 1
on the charge of murder. He was
returned to jail here Tuesday af
ternoon. This little shaver was
on trial in Superior court some
months ago on tlib charge of rub
bing the depot, at (ilenwood.
ON THE INSIDE
PEEPING OUT.
Gtorgo Gillon, charged with
robbing the depot at Vidalia, .and |
who with Ins partner and two]
others, escaped from the county
jail at this place Dec, 80th, was i
arrested in Macon a few days ago. I
Gillon was stopping in the Central |
City, and accidently walked into]
the arms of the chief of police.
Deputy Sheriff Everett Burch j
went up ahcl brought him down
Tuesday.
Gillon will be remembered as
the scribe of the escaping party
who left a note for Mr. Burch
stating that it was better to be on j
the outside looking in than on the ]
inside looking out.
Gillon now realizes that in allj
walks of life reverses are apt to j
come, and his orbs are now i
trained on the outside.
LOST TWO FINGERS.
While working at his shingle]
mill near Ailey Monday morning
Mr. L. F. Achoru had his hand
badly mashed and as a result had
to have two fingers amputated. He
was wearing gloves and the saw
caught in tho glove first. Ur.
Hall was called to care for the
wounded hand and Mr. Aehorn is
doing nicely. His many friends;
will regret the unfortunate acci
dent.

O’Brien sat up in her bed in St. j

she looked around and smiled.
“Well, children, and how is the
I
health of ye? God bless ye all!
Never did I expect to see this’
morning when James O’Brien led I
me into good Father McGilli-]
cudy’s church in Ballycarra. It’s]
an 102 years old that 1 am today,
children, and ye make mo think
of a nursery full of babies.’*
“Girls,” she said, looking
around on the pathetic group of
old women, “it is smoking ve
ought to be instead of _ drinking j
that black coffee of a morning. l
Ye’ll niver live to lie a full-grown 1
woman like me, and ye don’t take!
I lie pipe.”
‘•What kept you living so long, I
aunt ie?” asked one of h/. com
panions.

a man held m high esteem by
many friends and fellow-meu. He

ing feature was Cupid’s Game,]

wounding the heart. By far the]
most oxoit tug feat ure of the even
ing was the progressive love mak
ing match, in which the voting la
ding, true to the leap year spirit,
] took the most active part.. Tho
ivoutig men readily acknowledged
that they had learned many prof
| liable points on wooing from the
v ung ladies. Miss Maude Dur
! den received the highest number
of votes for winning the most
hearts and was awarded tho prize,
a heart-shaped box of candy. Miss
Durden and Mrs. Calhoun con
