A couple of Mormon elders were
in Statesboro and vicinity a couple
of weeks ago, though it has not
been learned whether or not they
made any effort towards securing

lug four at work in that city.
The 11-year-old daughter of Mr.

Mr. J. M. Newton, at Jerome,
suffered the loss of his residence
with nearly all its contents by
fire last Monday afternoon. The
loss includes all the family’s wear¬
ing apparel and a large-amount of

rooms, The house had just
completed and the loss is a heavy
one on Mr. Newton.
It appears to be almost impos¬
sible to get a rider who will stick
to the Statesboro and Josh mail
route. In July the contract was
let for four years to a negro who
fouud that he had bid too low
and refused to carry the mail,
After a few weeks the government
contractors employed Mr. H,
W. Pomeroy, who has carried it
regularly until this week, when
he threw it up. Now there is no
regular rider, and the postmaster
at Josh is hiring the work done
until permanent arrangements
can be made.

Mr. G. S. Johnston placed the

gented figures aud facts which
showed that the past year had
beeu an active one with the town
administration. He called atteu
ti 0 u to the fact that the increase
ja fines collected the present year
is about $175 over last year, while
the increase in street taxes is
nearly as mpeh ; the former
amounting to $225, aud the lat

HOWTHE DAY'WAS OBSERVED.
All Was as Quiet as a Sunday in the
Business Part of Town. ,
Thauksgiving was unanimously
observed iu Statesboro yesterday.
Not a business house was opened
throughout the day. The mer¬
chants aud their clerks took the
day off, and entertained them¬
selves iu virious ways. Some
went huutiug, some went riding,
some went to church, aud some
staid at home. Most of them went
guuniog, either for birds, or big¬
ger game. One crowd went down
on the S. & S. to Ivauhoe, where
a drive for deer had been planned.
They also carried pointers, and
intimated that they might shoot
a quail if one attacked them.
The day was appropriately ob¬
served by the church-goers also,
there being services at the Baptist
aud Methodist churches, The
sun shone brightly, aud good con¬
gregations were at both churches.
This is as it should be. Thauks
giving day is appointed for prayer
and aoug, and to observe it by
frolic and sport is a desecration of
its object.

JIM O’NEAL UOT GAY.
He Flourished a Pistol and is Now on
The Gang for Awhile.
Jim O’Neal is a voluntary re¬
cruit to the chaingaug for ten
months, having plead guilty Mon¬
day to the charge of carrying con¬
cealed weapons.
Jim was in town Saturday feel¬
ing good, and iu order to prove
his mauhood displayed a pistoi ia
his inside coat pocket. The mar¬
shal went to search him, but Jim
slipped the weapon out and hid it
between his legs. He was caught
in the act, and carried to jail to
await trial Monday, when he plead
guilty.
Mr. Dock Mikell assisted in ar¬
resting O’Neal, aud is dow carry¬
ing a broken hand as a result.
Jim made a break for liberty and
Mr. Mikell hit hiui a tap on the
jaw with his fist. This didn’t
quiet the negro, however, and Mr.
Mikell lauded another blow on
negro’s head. This proved more
disastrous to Mr. Mikell thau to
the negro, for by doing so he
broke two fingers on his right
hand. The liekdidn’t worry Jim,
but Mr. Mikell has been laying
awake nights thinking how foolish
he was to hit the negro on the
head with his bare fist.
