J. W. Gans and Juanita Weaver,
Noted Shoplifter. Left Saturday
Night For Parts Unknown—$100
Reward for Capture.
J. W. Gans, a guard at the wo
man’s building of the State Prison
Farm, let'- that institution surrepti
tiously last Saturday night, accom
panied by one of the prisoners, a
young white woman ny the name of
Juanita Weaver or Miller.
Gans, who is on duty during the
day, had laid his plans well, having
purchased the woman a dres s for
which to exchange her prison garb,
and both of them had secured all the
cash possible. When the hour for
Gans to go off duty arrived, he, under
the pretext of locking up the wo
men, went and called the woman
stating that she was wanted by Mr.
Hayes, the warden, at hi s office.
It is supposed that the woman
went to the commissary where she
changed her clo.hing and then she
and Gans left in an automobile for
parts unknown.
The woman is about twenty or
twenty-one years of age and i s a
pretty and attractive blonde. She
was found guilty of shoplifting by
the courts of Atlanta last May and
given a year’s sentence in the peni
tentiary. Her mother, Mrs. Hilton,
is also serving a like sentence under
the same charge.
Mr. Gans came to the State Farm
as a guard from Greene county sev
eral years ago. Since coming here,
however, he has operated a small
grocery store on the suburbs of the
city, and just recently went back to
the farm.
The Prison Commissioners have
offered a reward of $100 for the
capture of the man and woman.
Mrs. Hilton, the woman’s mother,
has been notified since she has'been
in prison that she had inherited
$30,000.

Let Lis Resolve To Look The Facts In The Face!
In the financial crisis which the people of the county are now facing, pessimism and despair will merely add to our dangers and difficulties. The people
of the South and of Baldwin County have in the years that are past faced WORSE difficulties, and our fathers and mothers met and triumphed over GREATER
dangers. We are the sons and daughters of the men and women who fought with infinite courage and faitli and hope, the devastations of the Civil War and
the resuitmg reconstrution.
Let us resolve to look the future in the FACE; to help EACH OTHER; to he as CHEERFUL as possible; in short to “face the music” like men and women
WORTHY of our splendid ancestry.
Let us resolve, first, to inaugurate a RIGID, SELF-SACRIFICING, SYSTEM A 1IC ECONOMY; not only to cut away all unnecessary expenses, but to cut to
the bone all necessary expenses. Second, to pay our debts to warehouses, merchants, hanks and individuals as RAPIDLY AS POSSIBLE, applying to this pur
pose EVERY dollar we can possibly save from the IMPERATIVE necessities of our families. Third, to realize fully that the farming operations of the county
MUST go on and that our SALVATION is absolutely dependent thereon. Fourth, that we are all in the same boat, and that it is ABSOLUTELY' IMPERATIVE
that we co-operate, that we be unselfish, (hat we help one anothei.
With RIGID economy, with determined purpose to meet our obligations as rapidly as possible, with unalterable determination to cut our expenses to the
quick and with a like determination also lo go ahead with next year’s business with ENERGY, and with HOPE, we can contribute largely to making what seems
a hopeless situation, one full of promise.
To the farmers, we would say that upon their energy, industry and skill EVERYTHING is dependent, the merchants, the banks, the warehouses, the fac
tories the churches and the schools. Don’t give up, don t weaken. Begin NOW preparation for the next crop. Prepare for early planting, for intensive
cultivation, and above all, for economy. The boll weevil has been whipped in other sections and can be whipped here.
To the business men, we would advise economy in purchases, economy in business conduct, and above all that they be as considerate of their debtors as is
POSSIBLE They are unfortunate this year, but the rank and file of them are honest and honorable and will eventually pay. Despair, hopelessness don’t get
anybody ANYTHING. HOPE, DETERMINATION, ENERGY, ECONOMY, SELF-SACRIFICE, will work us out of the stress which now encompasses us.
To these ends, the undersigned will lend every aid possible.
