PRINONER CREMATES SELF IN PARROTT GUARD HOLSE.
Will ,Searcy, a Dawson Negro, Makes a Bonfire of Himself as
the Result of His Christmas Celebration While Visit
ing in a Neighboring Town.
Will Searcy, a Dawson negro who
went to Parrott to celebrate the holi
days, made hot times in that town
Christmas eve night—especially for
himse!f.
Searcy, in eommon with a great
many of his race, thought that Christ
mas could not be properly celebrated
without filling up on whiskey, and af
ter frequent and liberal draughts of
the contents of a bottle he carried with
him to add to his enjoyment he be
came 80 thoroughly imbued with the
spirit of the occasion that the town
marshal, Mr. J. L. Brightwell, had to
place him in the guard house to pre
serve the good order and peace of the
i MR. CLARK LOSES HORSE.
iMysteriously Disappeared from
| Where It Was Hitched.
| Mr. James Clark, whd lives below
Herod, is anxious to know what has
become of his horse. When he came
to town Tuesday afternoon he hitched
the animal to a tree near Joe Thomas’
shop, and that is the last he has seen
of it. It was not where he had left it
when he went to get it about dark to
return home atter finishing his busi
pess in the city, nor has he since been
able to get any trace of it. p
It is a bay mare of medium size,
twelve or fourteen years old, and has a
white scar caused by saddle gall. It
also has a scar on one of its hind legs
caused by the cut of a wire fence, is in
rather thin order, and has a blemish
in one eye. It had on buggy harness
when it disappeared. |
Mr. Clark does not know whebheri
the horse was stolen or broke loose
and strayed off. He will pay a liberal
reward for information that will lead‘
to its recovery. ‘
' MUNCH JOHNSON CAUGHT.
[Negro Who Shot at Policeman
| Hill in the Toils.
i Munch Johnson, the negro who shot
'at Policeman Hill, when that officer
‘went out to quell a disturbance at a
pegro frolic on the east end of Lee
street three or four months ago, now
has quarters in the county jail, and is
awaiting a seance with Judge Raines.
Johnson was caught Christmas eve
night by Policeman Bass of Sasser,
and Sheriff Christie went down next
day and acted as his bodyguard on the
return trip to the scene of his
transgression.
THE JAIL WAS EMPTY.
The Terrell county jail was clear of
prisoners two nights and one day last
week for the first time since the erec
tion of the present prison and for the
first time,in many months. This, how
ever, seems not to have met witn the
fullapproval of certain ones who made
it possible for themselves to take
Christmas dinner withjn the hospita
bleswalls of Terrell county’s place of
confinement. Thereare now 4 prison
ers in jail, which is a eomparatiyely
small number.
Let me have your cleaning aund
pressing. I'll do it rightand at prices

The prisoner did not like th 2 pros
pect of spending Christmas day be
hind:the bars, ana about 11 o’clock at
night decided to burn his way to lib
erty by setting his cell on fire.
When his cries awoke the nearest
resideats to the prison the flames had
burst through the top of the building,
and nothing could be done to saye the
prisoner. After the house had burned
down pieces of roasted flesh were
taken from the coals and ciniers.
Other parts of the victim’s body were
burned to ashes.
Searcy was employed by Mr. C. T.

was about 21 years of age.
l HIS FAREWELL SERMON.
\ ———
Rev. H. L. Crumbley Leaves Pas=
| torate of Baptist Church.
- At the Baptist church Sunday night
the pastor, Rev. H. L. Crumbley,
preached his farewell sermon to the
church which he has served for three
years.
His text was peculiarly applicable.
It was the 11th verse, 13th chapter of
second Corinthians: ““Finally, brethren,
farewell. Be perfect, be of good com
fort, be of one mind, live in peace; and
the God of love and peace shall be
with you.”
In recognition of the occasion .no
services were held at the Methodist
church, and a large congregation
heard Mr. Crumbley’s discourse.
There will be no services at the
Baptist church Sunday morning or
nizht, as the new pastor, Rev. Mr.
Long of Senoia, will not reach Daw
son in time.

They will remain at home all this
week, leaving here next Saturday for
Washington, where they will remain
until the presentsession in March.
Judge Griggs attaches but lir,-‘
tle importance to the trouble be

that anything very serious will grow
out of it.
