R. Odnni of Raker County Paw e. Away n. 111. Home. From Hominy's Evening Herald. Mr. R. B. Odum, who has been ill for some time at his home near Newton in Baker couhty, died from pneumodia yesterday about 13 o’clock. Mr. Odum lived with bis family, bis wife and several children, about two miles this side of Newton, and has for fifteen or sixteen years been tax ool- lector ot Baker county. lie lias been confined to his bed for several days with a bad case of pneumonia, which on yesterday resulted seriously. He was about 45 years old, and had life insurance to the amount of $5,000, Mr. Odum has always been one of tile best citizens of Baker county. He was highly respected ami be loved by everybody who knew him. He is said to have been one of the best nurses in tills section especially in eases of hemorrhagic fever, which under bis care and treatment neady always recovered. His death is a sail blow to all who knew'Inm intimately as well as to his family. Strange to say that four prominent men.living within the same district, the Ninth district of Baker county, have passed away almost within a month. Firsttliere was Senator Reuben Jones, then Dr. M. S. Davis, Mr. J. D. Winchester, and now Sir. Odom. Baker county is thus mourning the untimely loss of . several of , her best citizens. - From Monday’. Evening Herald. On.Satiirday night the city is usually' thronged with Negroes, ninny of whom come in from the country to spend tlieir week's enrnings nnd indulge in n frolic of some kind, nnd occasionally wind up in a drunk. Under the circumstances it is a won der that on these occasions there is not much more disorder than there really is, nnd tile Inok of it is attri butable only to the excellence of Al bany’s police force, Mnny of the would-be law brenkers are deterred from their evils by the constant dread of these ever watchful guardians of the public pence. A CUTTING FRAY, On Saturday night n white man, named Bob Pulmcr, nnd a Negro, limned Bill Matthews, had a falling out which came near resiiltiugserioiis- ly for the Negro, at least. Palmer is a fisherman nnd is well- known in the city. lie said that lie had dropped a half dollar, which he accused the Negro of picking up. This the Negro denied and duringtlie quar rel lie cursed Palmer very freely. Palmer drew his knife nnd attempted to out Matthews, hut the knife' broke square off at the hilt, and the result was that only a flesh wound was In flicted on the Negro’s head. Botli were arrested, hut when it was found that the Negro was not hurt, they were released, and city cases were booked against^tliem for quarreling, flgijtlr.g nnd oursing on the streets. ANOTHER DIFFICULTY. Mr. Frnnk Lehman nml Mr. Charley Ferrell had a failing on Saturday night. They quarrelled for a while and a few blows were passed, but friends soon interferred and they were separated. City eases were made against them for quarrelling and dis order. A FEW PLAIN DRUNKS. Andrew Jordan, a Negro, was ar rested and taken in tow on a charge of drunk on the streets, It was just a plain drunk, but Andrew was pulled and given a chance to sweat it out. A white man named Reich, who is a railroader, was also arrested on a oharge of drunk, whloh was devoid of plainness. In fact it was replete with trimmings, and he will probably find that there is a higher tariff on the luxuries than on the plain necessities of such an experience. Reich went to several houses down on Washington street and began to frighten the oc cupants by loud talk and threats. He was pulled in by Officers Mooney and Kemp who say that he was crazy drunk. Drunk and disorder is the charge to which lie will have to an swer in Mayor’s Court on Wednesday morning. Than., F. Ac W. Engineer* All Right. Several days ago it was rumored that there would be some trouble be tween the engineers and managers of tile S., F. & W. R. H., on acoount of a proposed reduction in the salary paid the engineers. The matter, however, was quietly and peaceably settled in Savannah on Saturday by a conference of a commit tee from the road, and one from the engineers at which Chief Arthur was present. A new contract was drawn up, and it was agreed to maintain the old rate of 3% cents per mile, instead of reducing it to II cents ns was pro posed. The road lias no desire to treat its engineers and other employes in any other than a square manner. REMENTENCED TO HANG. From Monday'* Evening Herald. Yesterday was an almost perfeot day for church-goers and they appre ciated it. Grim Winter has not yet chilled the Deoember atmosphere with his loy frosts, and the elements seem to be hovering In doubt between Janu ary and May. Yesterday we had an Intermingling of the two in the de lightful harmony of a perfeot Sabbath day. The pulpit of the Baptist ohuroli was filled in the morning by the regular pastor Rev. E. B. Carroll. His text was taken from the gospel according to Matthew, 37th ehapter and 87th verse. He applied this text to a ser mon on unbelievers, ahd showed what misery and trouble is brought into the world simply by a laok of faith. There was an unusually large congregation present and the ohoir rendered some excellent music. In fact, the muslo at ail the ahurches Is far above the average, and this beautiful prnise service is admired and and loved by all Christian ohuroli-go- ers. At tho Presbyterian cliureh Rev. W. W. BrJuitn preached to quite a large congregation. His text was “Ambition as Contrasted with Humility.” lie took ns an example tile life of Christ, nnd showed how he had chosen a life of humility and righteousness, in stead of gratifying any worldly am bition that may have oome to him. He told in a beautiful way of how He chose tho lamb instead of the lion, the dove instead of the eagle. Mr. Brimm’s sermon was a beautiful picoe of gospel teaohing. At the Methodist eliuroh yesterday mornlngRev. W. J. Robertson prcaoli- ed his last sermon before conference. His text was taken from John 10,-33, “What I have written I have written." From this he drew the subject, “The firmness of Pilate.” He spoke of Pllnte’s firmness In refusingto change the InBorjption which bad been writ ten over the cross of Christ. This ho applied to tlm Christian duty of all people toibe firm and unflinohing in what wail right. Mr. Robertson leaves to-mojrrpw morning for conference at Columbus. The Methodist pulpit was filled last night by Rev. Mr. Beals, of Blaokshear. Rev. W. E. Eppes, at tlio Episcopal ohuroh, preached on “The ministry a divine institution standing between God and man.” He began with the suooession of prophets and preaohers, whloh led up to the ministry of John the Baptist and then that of Christ, establishing the institution as one in spired by Divinity. Mr. Eppes preaohed an excellent sermon, and a large congregation was present. A PERMANENT RECEIVER HOW TO OBTAIN TUB BENT RE. SULTB IN COOHINO MEAT. Underdone ITIrnt— C’rnnbrrrlc*-8uggeii. liana of All Nor la. Tlie glory of 5 piece of roasted moat lies in tho preservation of its juices. Tliis may be best done by placing the meat in a very hot oven, at first, until it Is lightly browned. This "sets” the juices and causes a ooating to form on tlie outside to keep all' juice from es caping. After the first fifteen minutes the oven may be allowed to cool some what, so that tlie meat has a chance to become thoroughly cooked without being burned on the outside. UNDERDONE MEAT. “It is fallacy to suppose that under done meat is wholesome," said a phy sician. “It. is distinctly wholesome. All food—meat, vegetables and breads —must be proporly cooked If they are to bo properly digested. In soliools, especially, half-cooked beef Is frequent ly given to boyB with the idea that It Is strengthening. Tills is a mistake; it is never half as wholesome or digesti ble ns If thuroughiy oookod. It Is true that sometimes shredded raw beef is given In exhausting diseases, but this Is ns a medicine, and, like most medi cines, It Is positively injurious to healthy persons.” L'RANRKRRIES.

A paragraph from ail editorial in the Herald on a bill introduced some days ago by Mr. FI. R. Jones, reads: Mi-. Jones introduced a bill in Lite House yes terday to authorize tlie Governor to cause to lie paid to the defendant being within the second degree of consanguinity or deceased widows 11 Confederate soldier, pensions duo bold widows at the time of tlioir dentin The mistake lies in the word “de fendant” beitig used instead of “de pendent heirs,” which correction the Herald gladly makes. —A dainty novelty in masculine jewelry is a scarf pin which realistic ally represents a cigar stump, Large shipments of oranges from WfMOjJWiN | SQH| John tlrooniH, tho Worth County Mur derer, lo be Hnnitod Jnuunrr O. From Sntui-diiv's F.VKNINO JlSKAl.P. V John Grooms, the Negro who killed bailiff Jim Hamlin, in Worth county, about three years ago, and whose trial haB been pending in the courts ever since, was resentenced by Judge Bower at Isabella yesterday, and Jan uary 6th was the day fixed for the execution. Grooms lias had able counsel and his case lias been stubbornly fought. He was sentenced to hang when first tried, but his ease was carried to tbe.jiu preme Court. The Supreme Court sus tained the’ court below, and Grooms has now been sentenced the second time by Judge Bower. Grooms has spent most of the time of his long imprisonment in the Dough erty county jail. Several months ago, however, for some reason, lie was transferred to the Bibb county jail 1 He was brought to this city by Sheriff Cox this morning, and is now. Ironed and in a ceil in the Dougherty county jail. He is to be kept here until the time for his execution arrives. The last hope for him seems to have been dispelled, and nothing that his lawyer can do for him now will probably save his life or stave, off his execution. The hanging will take place at Isabella on Friday, January 6. The Amerlous Tlmes-Recorder of yesterday oontains the following in regard to the appointment of a perma nent rcoeiver to take oharge of the af fairs of the Sam road: As was generally expected and de sired, Col. S. H. Hawkins has been ap pointed permanent receiver for the Savannah, Amerious & Montgomery railroad. The appointment was duly made by His Honor, Judge Fish, in oliamberB Saturdny, nnd Mr. T. Edward Hnmble- ton, of Baltimore,, was made co-re ceiver. It is expected by tlie parties who are taking such an active interest in the company’s finances that some plan will be consummated within the next sixty days looking to tlie complete restora tion of the property. The general outline of tills plan, it is said, contemplates not only the payment of al! the road’s floating in debtedness, but for providing also a good surplus fund to be placed in trust for the payment of next year’s inter est. On the whole the outlook is favor, able, to spy the least, and those inter ested are inclined to take a clieerful view of the situation under all the dr cumstances. # *“-* T j > l ' ‘ It is gratifying to know that tlie Soldier’s Home struggle in the House ,has at last been terminated successful ly, even though with the limitation that the matter be left to the vote of the people at the January election, There is no doubt but that the people will recognize the institution, and it will be aocepted by a very large ma jority ot the people voting.. It now re mains for the Senate to tako the mat ter up at once and carry it successful ly through that body. There remains but a short time for the work be done, and the Senate should recognize the expressed ~ -* “ i -' act at once, Negro Tenant* and Cropper* Dodging Their I.u..Jtord* and Factor*. Two or three days ago the IIehald quoted a farmer who said that the Ne groes of this seotion of tho oountry were in a wor»i fix than they had been since their freedom. Those of the “renters” nnd “crop pers" in tho country who have met their obligations this year are the ex ception rather than the rule. And to-day, Mr. T. II. Caskle, of the Ninth district of Baker county, who is, wo believe, the Magistrate of his district, said tlmt lie had never seen so much dodging and downright stealing going on among tennnts and croppers as there has been this Fall. All sorts of dodges are taken to beat the landlord and the factors out of wlmt is due them by the small Negro farmers. It is no uncommon thing, Mr. Cnskio says, for a renter to run off his ootton at night or to hide it out in order to evade liis creditors. The situation in the country, so far as the Negro farmer is concerned,' is anything but encouraging. But few of them have ooine-out square with the world in tlie year’s operation, and they are going to be troubled abdut making their “arrangnments” for another year. Meantime they have no supplies on hand, and their condition is generally a deplorable one. The trouble with t-liis predominant olass of citizens in the Negro but pf Southwest Georgia Is, tiiat-the ratio of our consumers to that of the producers is out of all proportion, the consum. ers being so largely in the •rrfa- Jority that the odds cannot be over, come by legitimate farming methods.
