“A Pack ot Dots Needed.
Waycross, Ga. June 21), 1U04.
Editors Herald:
In view of some recent oc
cuiTenccs in Waycross, I do-
to suggest the absolute no-
c \ssity for a pack of trained
dogs being-kept by the city or
county officials, for t ie purpose
of apprehendi- g the criminals
who seem now to infest »our
tow i and seetion. Thefts and
housebreakings are common and
it may be that more serious
crimes are to follow.
The villain who recently un
cross The first part of tho re
ception was held in the Bailey
Theatre. Tho public had been
invited, and a large crowd was
out to hear the interesting pro
gram which had been arranged
by Dr. W. H. Buchanan, J. S.
Williams and C. H. Lowther,
the committee in charge. Rev.
R. A. Brown, a member of
Wakefield Lodge, acted us master
of ceremonies in place of Dr. J.
V. Rippard, who was absent from
the city. Oue of tho principal
addresses was to havo been
made by Mr. W. H. Leopold, of
Savannah, Grand Ko'opor of
Records and Seals, but Mr,
Leopold was unavoidably de
tained. Judge Max Isaac, of
Brunswick, however, made
short- but interesting address iu
his place. The program at the
Theatre was as follows:
lnstrumi-ntsl Solo ..Mis. Hnjder

After' the program at the
theatre was completed, refresh
ments wore served at the Rifles’
armory. Altygetner tho recep-
tion was one of tho most success
ful ever held by any secret order
in this city, and Grand Chan
cellor Jones greatly appreciates
theell’orts of his brother Knights
in his behalf.

tcred Mr. Phillips' house could j Birmingham Agent for detailed
have been caught if there had: information
been a good pack of dogs handy.
There should be no delay in
this matter, and the town nml
couniy should join hands and
J pay the expense of keeping such

taken this step when some other
worse criminals escape. I in
sist that our town and county
officials consider this matter at
once.
Yours truly,
Citizen.
