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 lic while stopping at this popular 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 EOLLS! DOXjXjS ! DOLLS !

Mr, Edwards was the agent here at the time the stealing took 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. FOR SALE OR RENT. Ninety acre farm about three miles from Buford, known as the Mrs. Reuben Adams dower. L. M. Brand. 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.

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.
