hidden in the store, and that one
was the expert rascal, Jesse Lawson.
He opened to the other one, Joe
Hughes, and they say the hour was
about 3 30 o’clock in the morning
when they began operations. Just
here it is proper to observe that
these two scamps are ringleading
vagabonds of this place, neither of
them ever occupying himself with
anything like manual laooriu order
to earn tn honest living.
Jesse Lawson from the inside un
barred a door front and rear, cun
ningly devising a retreat and way
of flight in case the watchman
should discover them. Joe Hughes
played the role oi' watching the
watchman and signalling the ma
rauder on the inside. Then the in
side fellow began a-selection of
choice goods such as fine cutlery,
shoes, etc., including the best guns
in the establishment, and when lie
had secured the amount they could
conveniently get off with they stole
out and decamped. They went di
rectly to the home of Hughes, which
is at his mother’s on the outskirts
of the city, and there divided the
plunder, the family assisting in the
distribution. This much was got
ten at after the arrest of the first
one of the twain.
The arrest came about most sin
gularly and depended on the
shrewdness of Mr. G. B. Banks, the
watchful agent of the Southern Ex
press Co., who, putting one thing
aud another together with great sa
gacity, spotted the scoundrel Jesse
Lawson, and at once a plan
was devised to capture him. Sun
day evening after dark while pass
ing the Methodist parsonage he ob
served a man meeting him who
acted peculiarly in pulling his hat
down so as to hide his face. He
saw it was Jesse Lawson, notwith
standing his effort to prevent being
known, and spoke to him. The said
Jesse passed without returning the
salutation. At once Bauks decided
there was something wrong.
The Tybee excursion would come
in a short while, and if this noted
rascal was the burglar he would be
tryi ng to escape from the city in
the crowd of negroes on that train.
His plan was to catch the train and
invade it for Jesse Lawson. It was
the plan exactly. Jesse was there,
and secretly stepped aboard. Banks
went through tlie car after seeing
the conductor and asking his assist
ance. Outside others stood guard if
he should attempt flight. Lo! there
was the rascal. The law at last had
laid its hand on one of the meanest
villains in this whole section. He
was there with a bag full of the
stolen goods at his feet. Banks
presented a pistol and caught him.
He adroitly threw something out
the window. It was evidence he
was getting off of his person. Af
terwards two pocket knives were
found.
The villian’s cunning had not de
serted him. He had stuffed the
stolen goods out of sight lest they
might give him away to any prying
eyes. If the goods had not been
discovered he stood a chance of
j having no evidence against him,
hence he threw the knives away.
Oh! he is a sweet one. Hughes got
wind and fled. Search was made
in yain, untilnews came that he had
been housed at Wadley by the mar
shal there. He was returned in a
lovely pair of iron bracelets and
now reposes with his pal. His story
when the jail door confronted him
agreed with Lawson’s. His part
of the plunder has not been recov
ered but perhaps will lie soon.
Resolutions of Respect.
The following resolutions of re
spect and condolence, on the demise
of Brother Mat. B. Berkins, were
passed nem con. at the regular meet
ing of Screven Lodge, F. & A. M.,
No. 34S, at Millen, Ga., August 16th,
1894:
Whereas, it has been deemed fit
and proper by the Grand Architect
of the universe to remove from our
midst to the celestial regions our
beloved brother, Mat B. Perkins;
Therefore, in view of the loss sus
tained by his sorrowing family in
this dispensation of Divine Provi
dence, aud also of his brethren of
Screven Lodge, 248:
Therefore, be it resolved, That the
members of Screven Lodge tender
its sympathy aud condolence to his
sorrowing widow, children and
friends in this their hour of affliction
and sorrow; that the lodge desires
to express its sorrow at the loss of
one ol its oldest members, who was
ever ready to elaborate on the
tenets of our order and to recom
mend their observance strictly, and
endeared to his brethren by his
genial and social qaulities.
2d. Therefore, he it resolved, That
the secretary be instructed to place
a copy of these resolutions on the
lodge minutes, and that a blank
page of our records he devoted to
his memory and that a copy of
these resolutions be furnished his
family, and that a copy be printed
in the Waynesboro True Citizen
and the Sylvania Telephone.

A Word of Advice.
While we do not pretend to dic
tate, still we do not consider that a
word of advice is at all out of place
at this the beginning of the season.
We, therefore, recommend every
person that has dry goods, shoes, or
clothing to buy to examine the
stock of goods at D. C. Flynn’s Auc
tion House, Augusta, and if they
are not suited there they cannot be
suited anywhere in Augusta. Take
our word for it, you can buy more
there for $10thonyou can elsewhere
for $12. See their advertisement in

a few days since.
Mr. II. C. Perkins spent the day
at the mill one day iast week.
The fall term of the Beaver Dam
school will probably open next
Monday, 17th.
Dr. D. E. McMaster spent several
days with his mother at Winusboro,
S. C., last week.
Mrs. J. II. Perkins is visiting her
father, Dr. T. A. Ward, of Perkin’s
Junction, who is very unwell.
The friends and relatives of Mrs.
Walter Binum will be glad to learn
of her convalescence, after a severe
attack of typhoid fever.
It. L. Perkins has resigned as
manager of B. D. L. Co’s, “commis
sary” and has gone into business
for himself at Perkin’s Junction.
Good luck to you, “Boh.”
We have reason to feel confident
that this vicinity will he well rep
resented both numerically and ma
terially at the rally of the “Dear
old Parly” at Waynesboro, Satur
day 15th.
Hon. John H. Perkins spent last
Sunday here with his family, after
a long tour through the southern
part of the state. He left again
Monday an will probably he gone a
week or more.
Mr. J. Rufus Rogers, has gone
into the mercantile business at
Munnerlyn. He occupies Willson
Bros’, old stand and will no doubt
make it lively for his competitors
at said place.
Mr. L. R Bruckner, machinist for
B. D, L. Co’s, mills, had a fall last
week, breaking two of his ribs, how
ever he lost only two days from
hh work and we are glad to hear
Dr. McMaster predict a speedy re
covery.
Hon. John II. Perkins has re
signed his position as superinten
dent of the B. D. L. Co’s, mills and
will probably locate somewhere in
south Georgia where he will super
intend another mil! for the same
company. His place here has been
filled by Mr. C. E. Perkins, formerly
with Perkins & Bro. at Herndon.
Miss Gertrude Chance, of Haber
sham, has returned home after a
protracted visit to friends and rela
tives at Harlem and Waynesboro,
and is now the guest of Mrs. L. R
Bruckner of tins place. We are
all glad to have Miss Trudie will us
and sincerely trust that the wind
(Winn) will be merciful and not
“olow her away,” as ’tis reported.
We are glad to note that, almost
every day, some Populist sees “the
error or his way” and makes a con
fession, swearing to “stand hy” the
Democratic party and never again
to leave its ranks. Such a confes
sion is called a ‘Hop,” which is the
most honorable thing a Populist
can do, except to cling to the princi
ples of Democracy after flopping.”
On Monday last a damper was
thrown over this entire community
by the departure of Capt. Robt.
Reaney and his charming daughter,
Miss Amelia, for Augusta. Capt.
Reaney resigned his position at this
place on Sept 1st and will probably
superintend a large mill in Emanuel
county. The captain and his
daughter made many friends while
here, and all seemed loath to see
them leave.

Miss Chapman, of Galveston, Tex
as is the guest of Mrs. J. B. Jones.
Being quite a favorite, her coming
brings gladness to her numerous
friends.
Mrs. J. V. Jones, is a victim to
fever. We are delighted to hear
favorably of her condition and hope
her indisposition will be of short
duration.
For the past week the bright face
and cherry smiles of Miss Annie
Sharpe have been greatly missed.
We are glad to say she is convalesc
ing and trust she will soon be her
self.
Some of our boys are troubled
with palpitation of the heart. Miss
Dell possesses so many graces and
fascinating manners ’tis not sur
prising therefore that the pulsations
of so delicate an organ should he
accelerated by her presence. Her
stay with the Misses Sharpe will
prove a delightful one.
Corp. R. F. Jones is receiving con
gratulations at every street corner
upon his success while at Sea Girt.
Business hastened his return and
he was compelled to leave before
the Georgia team. He was fortu
nate in bearing away one of the in

another bright page in his history
as a skilled marksman.

Hon. R. C. Neely.
Sketch in Atlanta Constitution. *
Hon. It. C Neely, one of the nom
inees from Burke county, is about
thirty-six years old, and was horn
at Savannah, where his father was
one of the largest cotton buyers be
fore the war. His mother’s father
was Judge John Whitehead, one of
the wealthiest of Burke’s ante bel
lum planters, who married Miss
Julia Berrien, a sister of Judge Ber
rien. Mr. Neely was sent to Mary
land to be educated, hut at the age
of sixteen was compelled to begin
work on his own account. His
home has, since then, been in Burke
county, wiipre he has been actively
engaged as a merchant. He has
large landed interests in Burke,
and is also an active member of the
firm of Wilkins, Neely & Jones, one
of the largest in Waynesboro. Mr.
Neely is vice-president of the Bank
of Waynesboro, and is treasurer
and general manager of the Way
nesboro Oil Mill and Fertilizer
Company. While he has always
been an active Democrat, Mr.
Neely has not heretofore been in
politics on his own account, hut he
is president of the hoard of educa
tion of his county, and has been
active in local affairs. In 1SS6 he
married Miss Lillian Wilkins,
second daughter of Maj. W. A. Wil
kins, and his home in Waynesboro
is one of the handsomest in Geor
gia. He is a thorough, sterling bus
iness man, and will prove a very
valuable member of the legislature,
representing, as he does, a county
which always sends splendid men
to the halls of legislation.

Hurrah for The True Citizen.
A gentleman was heard to remark
a few days ago that “The True
Citizen just exactly suited him.”
With a loud voice we say “ditto.”
We wish it much prosperity and
Jong may it live to fight for Democ
racy.
The Ridge’s record for health is
the best. There has been only one
severe case of illness this summer.
It is a good lqcation for a summer
hotel. Its chief advantages are
good health, fresh air, pure water.
Some capitalist will do well to in
vestigate the matter.
New Feature.
Commencing with this issue Tin:
Citizen will give the condition of
the cotton market as quoted by the
Savannah cotton exchange every
Friday morning at 10 o’clock. We
are indebted to Mr. R. N. Berrien,
.Jr., for this information. The re
port is received hy him by direct
wire from the Postal Telegraph-
Cable Company’s office in the ex
change building in Savannah. The
Postal never does anything by
halves. It keeps pace with the
times by employing energetic busi
ness men, using typewriters, and all
modern instruments. It deserves
the patronage of the public gene
rally, because since its advent in
the South it has made promptness
in the transmission of telegraph
business a special feature and caus
ed a reduction in rates everywhere.
—The campmeeting correspon
dent of the Augusta Herald has the
following about Waynesboroians:
“Mr. Ed. Hack, of Waynesboro, was
visiting his sister. Mrs. Gus Duncan,
also Mr. Pierce Jones, of Burke.
Rev. Mr. Domingos succeeded in
getting his voice half-soled by tak
ing lemon, egg and sugar, and
preached a number of fine sermons.
He is in great demand at all the
meetings.”
—Swainsboro Pine Forest: Hon.
E. H. Callaway, of Waynesboro, was
present at the Summertown barbe
cue, and made a strong speech for
Democracy. Mr. Callaway is a can
didate for judge*)! the Augusta cir
cuit and Emanuel will give him her
hearty support. Solicitor-General
Bill Davis, of Burke, threw some
bombs in the Populist camps at
Summertown last Saturday.
Augusta Herald: Miss Marion
Whitehead, of Waynesboro, was
complimented with a very delight
ful rowing party on the lake last
Wednesday evening. An hour or
two was spent at the club house,
where music, dancing and supper
were the order of the evening.
-Advertise in The Citizen,
— Milner & Ellis will open a drug
store in Louisville the 1st October.
Dr. Ellis will go there and manage
the business, while Dr. Milner will
continue the practice of medicine in
Waynesboro. It is a clever firm of
young business men, and will be a
great addition to Louisville. We
wish them much success in their
enterprise. Dr. Ellis is a good drug
gist, and Louisville is fortunate in
securing him as a citizen.
—The character party at the love
ly home of Mrs. Ida Jones, on the
Avenue, last Wednesday evening,
complimentary to her daughter,
Miss Sydny Jones, was in everj’
way a delightful affair. The pretty
maidens and handsome youths in
their vari-colored costumes made a
pretty scene. Miss Fannie Gresham,
as a Spanish lady, and Mr. Frank
Ford, as the father of his country,
were awarded prizes for their excel
lent impersonations.
