the columns of state papers many kindly
mentions of THE NEws, and tries to have

sidizing the typos, we slip in the follow
ing from the Albany Herald: ‘
“Dawson is to have electric lights.
But this will hardly add to the brightness

# CONLY WAS ACQUITTED.

the Counterfeit Money.
It will be remembered that about two
years ago two Calhoun county men, J.
R. Brookins and John Conly, were ar
rested for making counterfeit money,
which Brookius passed in Dawson, .
Brookins was convicted about a year
ago and sentenced to a term in the fed
eral penitentiary. Conly was tried last
Friday and acquitted. Policeman Arnett
and ex Jailer Tedder attended the trial
at volumbus as witnesses for the gov
ernment.
Utah and the Women.
So Utah is coming into the union with
all her women enfranchised at the polls!
The constitutional provision enabling
women to vote has not been actually
¢linched, out fromn the information con
‘tained in our dispatches yesterday, the
matter is settled in favor of woman suf
frage. Women have had a good deal to
do with the history of Utah, and the
prospects are that they will continue to
keep themselves in evidence there. 1t is
an incident worthy of note that the
‘strongest opposition to woman suffrage
in the Utah constitutional convention
came from Mormon leaders.

CHANDISE.
How a Boy Robbed thel Establishment of
Hass, Harris, Brim & McLain at
Hereod. ’
In response to a telephone message,
Sheriff Christie went down to Herod
Sunday morning and arrested DBuss
Wiggins, a negro boy about fourteen
years old, who was charged with stealing
from the store of Hass, Harris, Brim &
McLain on Friday night, It is supposed
that the boy was locked in the store
when it was closed atnight,
He was suspected of the theft the next
day, as he was seen showing tubacco,
candy, knives and trinkets to the otlrer
negro boys of the neighborhood.
A sack of flour was emptied upon the
floor of the store, and it isjsupposed that
the empty bag was used to carry away
the things that were stolen." _
Improving Rapidly. :
The many friends of Mrs. J. S. Lowrey
will be glad to know that she is rapidly
rccovering from her recent severe illness,
M
which the people of the South
are resenting, is the efforts of
some to seil them imitations for
the real Simmons Liver Regu
lator, because they make more
money by the imitation; and
they care little that they swindle
the people in selling them an
inferior article. It’s the money
they are after, and the people can
look out for themselves. Now
this is just what the peoileire
doing, and merchants are having
a hard time trying to get people
to take the stuff they offer them
in place of Simmons Liver Reg
ulator—which is the *“ King of
Liver Medicines,” because it never
fails to give relief in all liver
troubles. Be sure that you get
Simmons Liver Regulator. You
