Night Watchman Seals caught a
negro burglar last Wednesday morn
ing about 2 o’clock, as he was pre
paring to enter the store of Mr. W. H.
Montgomery .|
The negro, when interrupted in His
work, had torn a shutter from one of
the windows, and in a few minutes
more would have beeu on the interi
or of the store.
Officer Seals left the corner of the
Joseph Dry Goods Co , and walked
around in the direction of Mr. Mont
gomery’s store. He saw the figure
of a man slink away into the dark
ness of an alley in the rear of the
store, as ho approached.
The officer went to the home of Mr.
W. H. Montgomery and woke him up.
While the latter was dressing the for
mer hid in the shadow of an electric
light pole and saw the negro climb
upon a gate near the window. Keep
ing himself in the shadows, the offic
er approached within a few feet of
the negro, and covering him with his
pistol, ordered him to surrender. The
negro seeing thatbeliad been caught
surrendered quietly and hand-cuffs
were placed upon him by Mr. "W. H.
Montg< mery.
When he was arrested, the negro
was barefooted, having pulled off his
shoes, which were found near by.
The negro was a stranger in the city,
and gave his name as Jim Jackson.
He claims to have come from Han
cock county, where lie had been
working in a saw mill. He is about
21 years of ag®, and is live feet 10
inches high, weighs 165 or Propounds
He has had the tip end of the fingers
cut off. He wears a No. JO or 11 shoe
and walks pigeon toed. The reason
of the above description is that there
is an idea that the negro is wanted
elsewhere.

ING10 RAISE
MOREY FOR CHURCH
Ladies and Sunday School Will
Make Contribution To New
Church Easter Sunday.
The first Sunday in April is going to
be a great rally day for the new Meth
odist Church.
For the past several months the ladies
of the church have been diligently and
enthusiastically at work for the enter
prise. (This does not include the work
being done by the various bands.)
Several months ago 25 cents was
placed in the hands of every lady, who
would tako one. They were asked
to use the money to the best advantage,
audjseefwhat amount they conld raise
bj^Easter Sunday. Quite a large num
ber have beeu at work, and from what
we can learn every 25 cents has grown.
The promise is that quite a [large sum
has already been made, and the end is
not yet in sight.
Later the Sunday Sciiool was eulist-
ed, and all of the teachers and pupils
will make a contribution. Many of
the children are at work. A nice amount
is promised from this source.
The Methcdists are going to make
every effort to complete their new
church. They are getting anxious to
see the work finished.
Tlie talks delivered by Prof. J. C.
Wardlaw to his class at the Methodist
Sn.idav School every Sunday morning
are interesting and instructive. The

tion and city are invited to join the
class.

Hattie Lewis in Jail With the
Charge of Murder Hang
ing Over Her.
Hattie Lewis shot and killed her hus-
oand. Mack Lewis, last Sunday about
twelve o’clock.
The killing took place on Mr. J. W.
Hooten s place in East Baldwin, and
Mr. Hooten arrested the woman, brought
her to this city and turned her over to
Sheriff Terry, who placed her in jail.
Coroner Oaraker was notified and
went out Monday morning and held an
inquest.
The shooting occurred at the home of
the negroes, and there were no eye wit
nesses to the tragedy. The evidence
gathered, however, showed that the
killing was without provocation, and the
coroner’s jury returned a verdict of
murder.

The Odd Fellows of Georgia are go
ing to erect a home for their indigent
members and orphans somewhere in
Georgia.
A movement has been started among
tho Odd Fellows of this city to locate
the home here. It is proposed to raise
an amount of money sufficient to pur
chase the Bland home in Midway, and
ffoer it as a site for the location of the
home.
The home will finally cost between
150.000 and $1CO,OOU and will be made
an ideal place.
The Cabinet of the Grand Lodge will
meet in Macon Wednesday, when the
question of locating the home will be
considered.
The inmates of the hatne will be cared
for by the Odd Felloes of the state,
and a large sum of money will be ex
pended annually for this purpose.
A committee of citizens solicited sub
scriptions Monday und quite a nice
amount was subscribed.
It would be a benefit to Milledgeville
if the home should be located here, and
those who are interested believe that
there is a strong possibility of this city
securing tin home if our people would
make a united effort to this end.
