The exact route of the Central

veys it is pretty certain that the
line will run south from the D. &
S. depot through Col. Shockley’s
lot, crossing the S. & S. road in
the rear 'of Rev. Cobb’s place.
The line will probably follow the
branch until the southern limit
of tovni is reached, when it will
make a curve to the right and
cross through Mrs. Shivers’ land
ob South Main street.

TO BUILD NEW CHURCH.
The Baptists are Now Raising Funds
For a Nice Church Building.
The mombers of the Statesboro
Baptist church have begun a
movement which, before fall, will
result in a new brick house of wor¬
ship at a cost of not less than
$ 6 , 000 .
The movement was begun less
two weeks ago, and at the meet¬
ing this week of the committee
appointed to solicit donations,
over $2,000 was reported. This
amount had been raised within
ne week. Two of the leading
meralers of the church, MessrB.
W. M. Foy and W. C. Parker,
have each subscribed $500, while
Mr. II. S. Blitch gives $400, C. A.
Lanier $400, T. H. Sanderson $100,
Dr. Cone $200, M. E. Grimes $150,
aud D. P. Averitt $100. These
figures were only starters, and set
an example which will readily be
followed by other members of the
church according to their ability.
The building of the new church
will be readily entered into by
citizens of the town irrespective
of denomination, and the building
when completed will be a matter
of pride to the entire town.
There was talk of undertaking
the raising of $10,000 for the
building, but it was decided that
$6,000 will build a house quite in
keeping with the other fine build¬
ings in the town.

SCHOOL COMMENCES HONDAY.
Arrangements Perfected For Graded
School at Old Academy.
It will be welcome intelligence
to many parents to . know.
rangement 8 have been made for
opening a graded school at the
old academy this spring, to com¬
mence next Monday.
Prof. W. H. Turner, recently of
the Bryan Institute, has been em¬
ployed as principal aud will be
assisted by Misses Mattie Anthony
and Mattie Lively. Prof. Turner's
home is in Atlanta, aud he has
been engaged in school work there
and in other parts of the state for
seven years. He comes to this
place highly recommended, noth¬
ing being more in his favor than
the fact that a number of his late
pupils will follow him here to
avail themselves of his iustruc
tioii 8 . Misses Lively and Antho¬
ny have each taught here during
the past, aud have given geueral
satisfaction.
The rates of tuition will be $1,
$1.50 aud $2, according to grade.
The public school fuud, which
will amount to about $1 per
month, will be allowed on these
rates, which will make the pri¬
mary department free and the
intermediate and senior classes
50/ and $1 per mouth respectively.
County School Commissioner
Cone has given uotice that he will
allow only Jl 10 pupils to be en
rolled in the school, therefore
those children who attend the first
day will be given the preference.
After the limit is reached ar
rangeuients will have to be made
with some other teacher.

CHANGE IN ROAD SYSTE/ 1 .
Ordinary Moore Will Name
sioners for Each District.
Ordinary Moore is inaugurating
some chauges in the present pub¬
lic road system of our county
which pomises * good for the peo- 1
pie. , He will .... appoint three . good ,
men in each district to act as an
advisory board to lay oft the road
sections, apportion the hands and
direct the overseer. One meeting
will be held immediately upon the
c uninencemeiit of work by the
overseer, and then after he has
worked his district thoroughly
according to the directions of his
advisory board, he shall report to
them the amount of work doue,
amount of money collected and in
what sections, after which the
board shall direct him how to
apply such funds as he may have
collected, the object being to see
that equal justice is done to all
sections of each district. As com¬
pensation for their services, theso
district advisory boards will be
exempt from regular road duty.
As the road system is now con¬
ducted there is one paid overseer
for each district upon whom de¬
volves the duty and responsibility
of laying off the work for the
entire district. In some instances
this duty is equally difficult to
him and unsatisfactory to the
residents of various sections of
the district. In such cases the
censure aud abuse is about evenly
divided between the ordinary and
the, overseer, with libera! portions
to each. This new plan promises
t > at least divert this condemna¬
tion from the heads of these two
well-meaning officials, and, by
placing the roads under the super¬
vision of three good men in eacli
district, to more nearly please the
people generally.
Ordinary Moore is now having
blank commissions printed and
will make his appointments of
advisory boards next week.
LOANS ON FARMS.
Lowest rate of Commissions
for loans on improved farms in
Bulloch county for five years at
seven per cent interest. No
dehy in getting money. Old

INTRUDER SEIZED A LADY.
The Wifa,of the Marshal Was
Handled by a Stranger.
Mrs.,J. F. Olliff, wife of
marshal, was seized
roughly handled by some uukuown
person in her back yard last
day night about dark.
Mrs. Olliff aud her little daugh¬
ter were in the back yard when
she noticed the figure of a man
standing near the wall fence.
Supposing it to be her husbaud
she spoke to him, and at the same
time the intruder jumped and
seized her aud a struggle ensued
which lasted for half a minute.
Mrs. Ollift' aud her little girl both
screamed vigorously, and when
Mr. Ollift', who was at the front,
came rushing to their assistance,
the stranger fled,
There is no suspicion as to who
the ruffian was, and the reason for
his presence in the back yard can
oulv [be conjectured. The smoke
house door had been opened, and
it is probable that the man had
gone in there for the purpose of
robbery aud, thinking that he had
been detected by Mrs. Ollift, made
fight. The lady was not seriously
bruised injured though she was slightly
in the tussle to get away.
SOrtETHING QUITE REMARKABLE.
Why Is Statesboro Behind All The
Other Big Towns?
There is something remarkable
that hasn’t occurred in Statesboro,
and nobody can understand it.
That is the absence of kidnap¬
ping. All tiie other big towns
have had one or more of late, but
we haven’t.
Plenty of people here who ought
to be kidnapped aud nobody would
otter auy objections. Instead of
that the kidnappers are monkey¬
ing around the big cities where
they are liable to be set upon by
the detectives at any moment,
whereas they could come down
here and take either of half a
dozen men from this town without
creating any excitement. Home
of these men are way above the
average in avoirdupois, and
might be used to advantage in
auy w r ell regulated soap factory.
But the kidnappers will get here
after awhile. We expect some of
these days to wake up and hear
that some of our old bachelor
frieuds are missing, and about
the next day the mayor will re¬
ceive a letter about, like this:
‘‘Dear Mayor—As kiduappiu’ is
all the rage we have stole — —.
As his sporty appearance indikates
tm, plea write his folks, and take
U p a collection in town, and see
if you can’t collect a dollar and a
half for his ransom. Don’t try to
find us as we is desperet men. Ad¬
dress Jim Glazer, genera! delivery,
Clito, Ga.
“1\ S,—If money is collected
we will have him back to work,
Tuesday. Goodby.
“P. S. II.—If you think dollar
and a half to much, send a dollar
aud 85 cents.”
Then some of our old maids
will scrap up the $1.35, and a
happy marriage will be the result.
