who regret their departure.

trophies.

Miss Blanche Stephens died at
the home of her father, W. D.
Stephens, near Groveland yester¬
day evening after a protracted

occurred today.
Messrs. Henry Olliff and Har¬
mon Davis are thinking of forming
themselves into an incorporation
to corner on the quail market with
a view to supplying Dover and
Cuyler and other nearby. cities
with this delicious meat. They
are both expert hunters, and think
that if they could sell their game
at a fair price (say, f 1.00 to $1.50
per bird) they could make some
money—provided ammunition
goes no higher.
Cotton continues to look up in
the Statesboro market, good sta¬

pose to hold their stock on hand
until February.

his store repaired and refloored, is
having transoms put in over the
front windows and door, thereby

W, W. Smith has been up from
Savannah this week in attendance
upon county court, in which be is
a witness in a criminal case. He
is now engaged in carpenter work
in the city, though he was recently
laid up for several weeks from the
effects of a blow received on his
head, being struck by a falling
timber, which nearly resulted fa¬
tally.
Mr. Irving G. Rogers, one of the
best known of this county, died at
his home near Groveland last Fri¬
day evening at the extreme old
age of 85 vears. He died unex
pectedly, being suddenly taken
with appoplexy or heart disease.

The members of Middle Ground
church, five miles south-east from
here, are making arangements to
build a more, commodious house
of worship on the hill a few hun¬
dred yards this side of their pres¬
ent one. The church now used is
a comparatively new one, but the
congregations have outgrown it,
which makes the building of a
larger house imperative.
The negro Joe Sampson, who
was given a preliminary trial last
Saturday on the charge of mur¬
dering Wilson Walker at the rail¬
road camps at Stilson the first of
the week, was committed to jail
to await trial at the April term of
superior court. The killing ap¬
pears to have been entirely unpro¬
voked, and it is thought that Joe
will have occasion to thank his
stars if he gets off with a whole
neck. ,
Remember, if it’s a soft shoe or
a hard shoe, a cheap shoe or a good
shoe, a low shoe or a high shoe—if
it’s a shoe!—Lanier has got it.
J. S. Crumley, of Fly, is one
good farmer who says he is per¬
fectly satisfied with his cotton
crop this year. On one small
patch he made a bale of black
seed to an acre and a half, and
says if the drouth had not struck
it he would have made a bale to
the acre, but he made enough as
it was. There are many other
farmers in that section, and all
over the county, who did about as
well.
The road overseers in some dis¬
tricts report a little trouble with
hands who refuse to obey the sum¬
mons to work the roads. Some of
them assert that the present sys¬
tem is illegal (though what op¬
portunities to knowing it no one
can guess), but a subpoena from
the Ordinary to appear before him
and “show cause” generally has
the effect of hastening the pay¬
ment of the commutation tax
without a legal investigation.
BUSINESS IN COUNTY COURT.
A Two Days’ Session This Week and
Justice Rapidly Dispensed.
[continued from 8th page.]
At the time of going to press
witn the outside pages of this
paper, at sundown yesterday even¬
ing, the trial of C. A. Wilson for
assault and battery was in pro¬
gress. The prosecutor was S. F.
Legett, whom it is alleged Mr.
Wilson assaulted some months
ago and beat him with a buggy
whip. Wilson claimed justifica¬
tion in that Legett had used pro¬
fane and abusive language in the
presence of his wife and other
lady members of her family. He
was acquitted.
It will be observed from the
foregoing that the business of the
court for this term consisted en¬
tirely of criminal cates, and it is
interesting to n.»te further that of
seven cases tried five were found
guilty. It was remarked that the
jurors seemed to be in a convict¬
ing mood.
The case of W. A. Cobh, charg¬
ed with trading mortgaged prop¬
erty, was also to have been tried
but was postponed on account of
the absence of witnesses.. They
were J. R. Williams, John Phil¬
lips and John Martin. Judge
Braunen sent the sheriff for them
and had them put under bond for
their appearance at the next term.
EXODUS TO ALABAMA.
Many Bulloch County Negroes Being
Carried Out There.
Two carloads of turpentine ne¬
groes left here this week for Ala¬
bama, where they go to assist in
opening up the new country out
there which has recently been
thrown an the market. The ma
jority of the hands will engage
with R. M. Williams, who only
recently J went, out, ‘there from this
place. There were perhaps fifty ,
or sixty men in the party, and the
balance of the tvvu carloads con
sisted of women and children.
They were carried away from
Statesboro in a couple of Centra)
passenger coaches, and will
carried through to their
tion without of cars.
Most of these negroes* formerly
worked with Williams, Outland &
Co. here, and in connection with
their departure there was more or
less excitement. Many of them
were indebted to their former em¬
ployers in various amounts aggre¬
gating about $200, and attach¬
ments were taken out on the ne¬
groes’ furniture to collect these
amounts; but the officer was
unable to get any considerable
amount of the stuff for the reason
that when he reached the station
from which the furniture was
being shipped to make'the levy, it
had been all thrown together in
one big pile and he could not tell
what furniture belonged to the
darkies against whom he held the
attachments. He had to let it
pass with attaching only about
enough furniture to defray the
costs of the proceedings.
At the same time warrants were
sworn out by Mr. McDougald, of
the firm of Williams, Outland &
Co., for V. V , Akins, Z. Iv. Bul¬
lard and Mr. Shaw, who had been
instrumental in persuading the
negroes to go. These three, how¬
ever, got wind of what was up and
evaded the officers, and have gone
along with the crowd to make their
home in Alabama.
