PcpuLy Marshall Landers Won Out.
United States Deputy Marshall Ben
Landers, learning that Jim Strickland,
a notorious bloekader, would be at
Forsyth superior court at Cumming
Tuesday, quietly slipped oyer there
and succeeded in nabbing the negro as
he made a dash for the door.
Friends of Strickland rushed upstairs
:o the court room and told Judge Gober
of the arrest. Judge Gober sent for
Mr. Landers and told him he would
put him in jail if he did not release
Strickland, that Strickland was a wit
ness in his court, and must he turned
loose. Mr. Landers has been trying
for years to get Strickland, and with
the man in his clutches, very reluc
tantly set him free. -
Mr. Landers, however, won out at
last. He waited by the roadside Tues
day evening, and as Strickland was
returning home, and when without the
; jurisdiction of Judge Gober’s court,
caught the wily Jim and carried him
away to the United States court at At-
lanta.
Improving Fire Department.

department this week for the mules

with the 1400 feet already on hand,
will give the department all that is
needed at present.The city,■ author-,
ities are resolved in keeping the de
partment up-to-date and giving the
people of the city the very best fire pro
tection* For this, they have the
thanks of every eitizen.
The Last Heard Of It.
”My little hoy took croup one night
and soon grew so had you could hear
him breathe all oyer the house, “ says
F* D. Reynolds, Mansfield, O. “We
feared he would die, but a few doses of
One Minute Cough Cure quickly re
lieved him and he went to sleep. That’s
the last we heard of the croup. Now
isn’t a'cough cure like that valuable?”
One Minute Cough Cure is absolutely
safe and acts immediately. For coughs,
colds, croup, grip, bronchitis and all
other throat and lung trouble it is a
certain cure. Very pleasant to take. The
little ones like it. Robertson & Law,
Mr. Guy Clopton Breaks His Arm.
Mr. Guy Clopton, local editor of the
LEagle, fell on the pavement on the
Spring street side of the Arlington
hotel Thursday afternoon at 2 o’clock
and broke his right arm in two places,
once just above the wrist and again
several inches higher up toward the
elbow. The pavement was covered
with ice and was-very slippery, and as
Mr. Clopton turned to go down the
steps leading into the pool room, he
slipped and fell to the sidewalk, the
fall being of sufficient force to break
his arm in.two places.
Mr. Clopton was carried to Robert
son & Lawjp drug store, and the bro
ken limb was set by Dr. P. E. B. Rob
ertson. He is getting along very well;
but it will be one month or more be
fore he is able to. do any work. His
friends regret his misfortune.
Saved Two From Death.
“Our little daughter had an almost
fatal attack of whooping cough and
bronchitis,” writes Mrs, W. K. Havi-
laud, of Armonk, N. Y., “but, when
all other remedies failed, we saved her
rife with Dr. Bangs New Discovery.
Our niece, who had Consumption in an
advanced stage, also used this wonder
ful medicine and to-day she is perfectly
well.” Desperate throat and lung dis
eases yield to Dr. Kings New Discov
ery as to no other medicine , on earth.

Sarah. Ward Captured.
Sarah Ward, who shot and killed
Sallie Simpson at Gillsville the 12th of
Last September, was arrested at Louis
ville, Ark., this week, and has been
placed in the Banks county jail at Ho
mer. The alleged murderess is a sis
ter of Jesse Hicks of Gainesville. It
will be remembered that Sarah Ward
shot the Simpson woman with a pistol
while the latter was asleep. Many ef
forts have^been made to capture her,
all to no avail, until she was appre
hended in Arkansas this week.

Bought Christopher Place.
Mr. W. J. Porter this week purchased
for $2000 the A. B. Christopher home
on North Race street, and will move to
it as soon as he can get possession.
The house is now occupied by Mrs.
Mattie Merritt, who has it rented until
April 1st. However, she will probably
move to another place as soon as she
can secure one. The Christopher place
is good property and Mr. Porter will
have a nice home.
Mrs. B. O. Wooley has purchased
from Mr. J. C. Newton the house and
lot on East Spring street, where Mr.
Porter now resides. She will take
possession as soon as Mr. Porter can
get his new home. Thisris a nice place,
in a good location.
Messrs. T. Pri Hudson and F. M.
Loden were employed by the city to
make an examination of the public
school building this week. Their
inspection was perhaps the most thor
ough of any yet .made, as they took
every measurement of the building
and also had a plumb line suspended
from the top walls on every side so as
to determine exactly how much, if any,
each wall was out of^ plumb. Their
investigations 'show that the walls are
probably just as plumb as the day they
were built.
Messrs. Hudson and Loden found
that at no place was any wall out of
plumb more than 5-8 of an inch, and
they tested each one every few inches
along their entire length. They say
that the material in the walls and in
the entire building is sound and in
good condition. The walls, they state,
were perhaps built a little out o±
plumb, and in all probability have
never bulged a particle. Mr.' Hudson
says that tfiere is hardly a brick wall
in any building in tlie city exactly
plumb, ana certainly a number, if not
all* are just as much out of plumb as
those in the public school building,
which Show only 5-8 of an inch divul-
gence - at the greatest. The walls
slightly out of plumb are those on the
south and west sides, the other two
being perpendicular.
Messrs. Hudson and Loden believe
the building can be repaired at a cost
of between $800 and $1000, so as to
make it good, strong and perfectly safe
for twenty years. They say if the two
brick walls through the middle of the
building are built up to the ceiling and
„ -jri - • - - ;
the timbers and walls of the structure
are fastened together with iron rods,
there is no possible way for them to
fall and that the building will stand
for years. It is not known what action
the city authorities will take in the
matter.
Some of the citizens of the city .desire
to have an election called at once, upon
the question of issuing bonds to erect a
public school building at a cost of
$20,000 or more. They say the public
school building is unsafe, and commend
the action of the city hoard of educa
tion in abandoning it.
There are many more citizens, on the
other hand, who do not. believe the
’public school building is unsafe, but to
be on the safe side, are in favor of the
eitv expending $600 or $1000, or what
ever amount is necessary, to repair it,
and remoAe any suspicion of danger
whatever. They go further and say it
would be unwise in the city to spend
$20,000 or more for a new public school
building, wben we have a large audito
rium in the City Hall, whieh can be
used free of charge, and when, if nec
essary, another building could be
bought or one could be erected in an
other ward, all of which would pro
vide ample room for every child desir
ing to go to the public schools in the
city. By this means, they say, the city
would be less liable to loss by fire than
if all were invested in one building,
and there is less danger of the spread
of contagious diseases in having the
children in different buildings. Be
sides, the city would he kept out of debt
and its credit would continue good,
thereby enabling it to always be in
position to make other improvements
demanded from time, to time by the
city’s growth. .
White Man Turned Yellow.
Grer t consternation was felt by the
friends of M. A. Hogarty of Lexington,
Ky., when they saw he was turning
yellow. His skin slowly changed color 4
also his eyes, and he suffered terribly..
His malady was Yellow Jaundice. -He
was treated by the best doctors, but
without benefit. Then he was adyised
to try Electric Bitters, the wonderful
Stomach and Liver remedy, and he
writes: “After taking two bottles^ I
was wholly eured.” A trial proves its
matchless merit for all Stomach, Liver
and Kidney troubles. Only 50e. Sold
by M. C. Brown, druggist.
Clerk’s Wise Suggestion,
“I have lately been much troubled
with dyspepsia, belching and sour
stomach, ’’writes M. S. Mead, leading
pharmacist of Attleboro, Mass. “I
could eat hardly anything without
suffering several hours. My clerk sug
gested I try Kodol Dyspepsia v Cure
whieh I did with most happy results. I
have had no more trnble and when one
can go to eating mincepie, ehees, candy
itonm^t a bfpretty a ^d’. t * e endoS store in the Hudson block, West Washington
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure heartily.” You
don’t have to diet. Eat all the good
food you want but don’t overload the
stomach. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure digests
your food. Robertson & Law.
lathe Hands of a Eeceiver.

Adams and R. P. Lattner last Monday
petitioned the superior court for a re
ceiver for the Colorado-Georgia Smelt

D. Langford was temporarily put in
charge of the assets of the corporation.
It is said the assets of the company
consist of ten acres of land, near the
city, and $300 in cash,'all of which
amounts to perhaps $600. The
liabilities are understood to be not
quite $400. ri
