Arrested in Atlanta For Forgery.
Is in Jail.
John Oslin, a son of Dr. J. W. Oslin
of Gainesville, has been arrested in At
lanta for gambling-and forgery. He is
now held in Fulton county jail a waiting
‘ disposition of his cases. Dr. Oslin. his
father, and other relatives have been
in Atlanta this week trying to get the
young man out of trouble.
Last Saturday Oslin was arraingetl in
the city criminal court of Atlanta on
the charge of gambling, and was fined
§50 and costs by .Judge Berry. He
pleaded guilty but stated that lie had
only thrown dice for cigars and drinks,
and did not know- that was gambling.
Upon the plea of Dr. Oslin, the young
man was sent to jail until the money
could be raised to pay his fine.
Immediately after this case was dis
posed of a warrant was sworn out by
the Exchange bank ot Atlanta, against
Oslin for forgery, claiming he had
forged his brother-in-law’s name for
8370. Dr. Oslin has been in Atlanta
all the week trying to get his son out
of trouble.
The friends of young Oslin iu Gaines
ville are sorry to hear that he has got
ten into trouble, and hope he will get
out all right. He lived here until a
few years ago. #

Found Dead With a Bullet Hole in
Her Head.
Mrs. Elizabeth Cross, an aged white
woman who lived on Washington street,
was found dead in a gully near the
town branch on the edge of the city
last Saturday morning about 11 o’clock.
A bullet hole in the back of her head
told that she had been murdered.
coroner Dorsey was notified and
went at once and removed the body to
the old woman’s hut, where an inquest
was held at 2 o'clock Saturday after
noon. The verdict of the inquest was
that the woman came to her death
from a pistol shot wound at the hands
of parties unknown.
From the best information obtained
it is believed that the woman was mur
dered Friday night, as a pistol shot was
heard in that vicinity about 10 o’clock.
What the motive of the murder was
is not known, but some believe it was
for money while others think some per
son had a grudge against her.
Mrs. Cross was a poor woman who
did washing and odd jobs for a living.
She was also a fortune teller and it is
said that many people have had her to
tell them their future. No' one, how
ever, can get at the exact reason of the
murder, and not the slightest clue of
the murderer has been obtained. The
greatest mystery surrounds the affair,
and thus far no light has been thrown
upon the murder. The remains of the
murdered woman were interred Sun
day.
Thanksgiving Service.
There will be a Thannsgiving seryice
at the First Methodist church tomor- #
row morning at 11 o’clock. Rev. J. M.
White will preach a thanksgivingser-
mon, this being the last he will deliver
before going to conference at Augusta.
Appropriate hymns have been selected
for this service, which promises to be
unusually interesting and enjoyable.
Tomorrow night reports will be re
ceived from every department of church
work, and Pastor White will read the
report he is to make at conference. The
condition of the church is better than
it was at the close of the conference
year twelye months ago, though it was
very satisfactory then.
A Strong Petition.
A petition has been circulated this
week and liberally signed by the cit
izens of Gainesville protesting against
the establishment of a dispensary in
this city. The petition has been for
warded to Representatives Smith,Sloan
and Senator J. K. Thompson with the
request that they work and vote against
the measure. The petition was signed
by representatives of every class of bus
iness and is a strong one. Those who
are in favor of the dispensary claim that
they are in the majority, and say that
it should be established. The action
of the legislature will be awaited with
interest.
Post Office to be Moved.
!
The inadequacy 1 of the room where
the post office now is necessiates the re
moval of the office, and the question as
to where it will be moved to has nar
rowed down to two points, the Hudson
house corner or the nia*'ble yard
corner, opposite the Hynds Co. The
final selection between the two will be
made next week, and we are informed
that the Postmaster will consult the
patrons of the office as their choice.
