“Bud” Maughon bas secured the
painting contract of the Gwinnett
Cotton Mills. Mr. Maughon is an
artistic workman, and will, no
doubt, give satisfaction.
Mr. M. S. Cornett took charge
of the hotel yesterday and has
fitted up twelve rooms with new
furniture and fixtures. Many new
innovations will be made, which
will add both to the comfort and
convenience of the traveling pub

hostelry,
Jim Duggan, the negro residing
in Pucketts district, who was shot
by Tom Tuggle last Saturday
week, died on Wednesday after
the shooting. We gave the par
ticulars of the shooting last week,
and since Tom’s vicitm has died,
he is now held on the more se*
rious charge of murder instead of
assault with intent to murder.
Mr. E. L. Cain, traveling agent
of the Atlanta Constitution, lost
a purse of some S9O Monday.
He lost it in Atlanta, but had no
idea where; so when he came
home he wired Eiseman Brothers,
where he had done some trading,
that he had lost his purse. On
receiving the telegram they looked
for the money and found it where
Mr. Cain had dropped it while
changing coats. Mr. Cain was a
happy man when he received the
telegram, and the fact that Eise
mau Brothers returned it to him
shows that their working force is
made up of honest salesmen.

LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13. 1900. VOL. VIII. NO 7
Rev. G, W. Griner filled the
Methodist pulpit twice last Sun
day and the morning sermon was
his initial appearance before this
congregation. Mr. Griner did not
preach a set sermon, but talked
more on the line of giving, and
told his hearers bow to worship
G->d by using all the means at
their command. At night the
text was, “For whatsoever is born
of God overcometh the wirld;
and this iB the victory that over
oometh the world, even our faith.”
1 John 5:4. Mr. Griner demon
strated that he was a deep thinker
and a clear reasoner, and made a
good impression on his hearers.
The Methodists will have preach
ing at their church every Sunday,
and it is predicted good results
will follow this forward step they
have made in advancing toward
the kingdom.
The owner of the books found by
’Squire Langley’s boy last week has
been located. They were ordered
by Mr. George M. Brand several
months ago, and failing to receive
them a second order was placed.
The first shipment came through
all right, but were stolen from the
depot here one night under pecul
iar circumstances. They came in
on the 10 o’clock train one night
and were unloaded with a lot of
other express. The agent carried
one load into the depot and re
turned to the platform for the oth
er package, when he found it was
gone. Some sneak thief stole it,
while the agent’s back was turned,
and when he found it contained
song books he hid it oat, where the

place, and he made good the lose.
Rev. Howard Williams, of Au
burn, was in the city today. He
is selling a book entitled “Is the
Negro a Beast?” This remarkable
publication is having a wide rale
and is certainly an interesting
book.
A Woolly Hcg,
Mr. Carl Stanley, of near Win
der, is the owner of a hog that
seems to possess some of the char
acterists of a sheep. For instance,
this particular hog has a coat of
wool extending from its head back
and covering the hog’s back and
part of its sides. The wool is
white and of a very fine quality.
The hog’s tail is like that of a
she^p —in other woids, the hog
has a sheep’s tail. It is said also
that the hog’s ears are like a
sheep’s, and that instead of grunt
ing it bleats just like a sheep. In
other respects this animal is like
any other hog.
Mr. Stanley is fattening the hog
and will likely kill it for Christ
mas. He has invited his neigh
bors to eat “back-bones and spare
ribs,” and those who like mutton
will be accommodated also, for of
course those parts covered with
wool will doubtless be sheep and
not hog.

Sent tc the Asylum.
Miss Blanche Doster, of Cedar
Hill, the daughter of Rev. Dr.
Doster, a Christian minister, was
tried before Judge John P. Webb
last Thursday on a writ of lunacy
and found to be of insane mind.
Miss Doster is twenty-two years
of age and has been married, but
she and her husband have been
separated for sometime.
She lost her mind last Saturday
week and was brought to town
Wednesday and lodged in jail for
safe keeping. Before that she had
never displayed any symptoms of
insanity. The womau was indeed
a pitiable object aB she raved and
thrust her hands through the bars
and knocked out the glass lights
in the prison cell. When carried
off Monday morning she was
screaming at the top of her voice
and kept up the noise all the way
to Atlanta on the train. The sher
iff carried her on to Milledgeville,
where she was placed in the State
Sanitarium.
A few days before that Sheriff
Haslett carried Ed Witts, a de
mented negro, back to the asylum.
Ed was committed about eight
months ago, but made his escape
and came back to his home at Du
luth. When told that he must
go back to Milledgeville he came
to Lawrenceville and gave himself
up to the sheriff, who again placed
the crazy darky in the institution
provided for such persons by the
state.

FINEST IN THE STATE.
W. R. Deiter Has the Best Arranged
Undertaker's Parlor in Georgia.
Mr. W. R. Dexter, Lawrence
ville’s enterprising funeral direc
tor, has the finest equipped and
best arranged undertaker’s parlor
in the state, for he has visited all
of them of any note, he says in
cluding those in the large cities.
Mr. Dexter has just got straight
ened out in his new quarters in
the Tom Ambrose building on the
south side of the public square,
and we had the pleasure of going
through his establishment the
other day.
He has his caskets all stored
away in nice shelves or closets,
standing upright against the wall.
To display all he has to do is to
turn a button and the coffin is
let down on a level in full view.
And it can be closed up and put
back in position, out of sight, as
easily as it was let down for dis
play. Fifteen caskets are ar
ranged in the front room in this
manner.
This is an invention gotten up
by Mr. Dexter and excels any
thing we ever saw in this line.
Indeed, the inventor says it is the
only one in existence, but he has
no intention of having it patent
ed, though it could be protected
by law.
Mr. Dexter is a professional
embalmer and has every appliance
at hand for the safe, speedy and
proper dispatch of his business.
