LITTLE NEWS ITEMS
THROUGHOUT STATE
Clayton.—News has reached here
of the Killing of a man by the name
of Curtis, about fourteen miles from
here in the northwest part of the
county. Curtis was found dead near
the residence of Virgil V. Justus, a
prominent farmer of that section.
The appearance of the body indicates
that he was shot, so far as known
there were no eye-witnesses to the
killing. It is reported, however, that
Justus admits he did the shooting.
Jonesboro.—Clayton superior court
convened February 23, with Judge C.
S. Rieff and Solicitor Napier in their
respective positions. Besides the
usual amount of civil cases, the crim¬
inal docket is unusually heavy, four
negroe murder cases and one arson
case and a large number of gaming
and other minor offenses. There are
seventeen in jail, all negroes.
Athens.—A semi-annual per cent,
dividend of four or five per cent, is
considered a fair business for even a
banking institution, but a hundred
per cent, dividend on top of the an¬
nual 8 per cent, is a remarkable rec¬
ord made by the National hank of
Athens. A cool $100,000, a sum ex¬
actly equal to the capital stock, was
divided among the stockholders in
addition to the regular annual divi¬
dend.
Cuthbert.-—From the looks of
things, a government position looks
mighty good to a number of people
in this county. A civil service exam¬
ination for selecting a rural carrier
on a new route, recently held in this
city under the direction of Postmis¬
tress Alice B. Bussey, was stood by
twenty-five applicants, from all over
the county, every one of whom has
hopes of getting $91 a month—minus
carrying expenses—in lieu of a farm
life.
Byerly.—A report from Summer¬
ville is to the effect that Frank Math¬
ews, alleged bank robber, held in
connection with the robbing of the
Byerly hank, is seriously ill at. Sum¬
merville, and attending physicians
are of the opinion that death is only
a matter of a few days. Mathews,
when first found, was very sick, but
was given medical attention and re¬
covered and was carried to the coun¬
ty Jail in Summerville, where he has
been since the arrest was made a
few days after the bank robbery.
Winder.—Winder folks celebrated
Washington’s birthday by turning out
and making of a runaway match
quite an elaborate wedding. When
Miss Ruby Turner and G. W. Thorn¬
ton, an eloping couple from Athens,
reached this place and proceeded to
get a license, the news leaked out and
a crowd of mery people soon gather¬
ed and proceeded to asist in the af¬
fair, although the would-be-weds
were total strangers. Some one sug¬
gested that the knot should be tied
in the church and the couple agreed.
The crowd increased quickly, so that
by time the ceremony wasp erformed
the church was well filled.
Augusta.—The biggest police cap¬
ture in years was made here when a
gang of negro crooks were taken by
the detective force in an old shack
on the outskirts of the city. The ne¬
groes, three in numbeV, whose names
are withheld, have confessed to thir
teeen detailed burglaries of resi¬
dences and busines houses. For a
whole year the detective force has
worked in vain until now to appre¬
hend the burglars, whose looting will
total a large sum. In their opera¬
tions the negroes have perpetrated
some daring robberies, and some
were the most sensational in local
police annals. In one instance wo¬
men occupants of a home were c-hlo- ;
reformed while the burglars ransack¬
ed the house.
Dublin.—W. O. Armstrong, the for¬
mer cashier of the Bank of Rentz,
who was placed in jail on a charge
of embezzling about $12,000 from the
bank, has given bond in the sum of
$12,000 and left for his home in Ha
zelhurst. An examination of the
bank's affairs is still in progress, and
it is now thought that the shortage j
will run a good deal more than $12,- j
000, which was at first believed to j
be the extent of the sum short. Arm¬
strong is the son of A. T. Armstrong,
former cashier of the Bank of liazel
hurst, who committed suicide a few
weeks ago rather than be arrested on i
the charge of embezzling $12,000 I

dignified-looking man registered at i
one of the best local hotels several j
days ago, giving his name as W. M. j
Walter take and his his word address for it as he New York, j i
To was a
mind reader. But now he has gone, j
just where no one in Cordele knows,
though some are rather effectively
impressed with the fact that he is
about the slickest ’“fleece” artist who
ever worked Cordele. He was just
good enough ath is profesion to get
away with $525 belonging to one too
easily-convinced citizen and several
hundred dollars 'belonging to others.

Death Lurks In A Weak Heart
If Youra Is fluttering or weak, uee RENOVINE.” Made by Van Vleet-Manefield Drug Co.. Memphis. Tenn. Price *1.00
THE CLEVELAND COURIER, CLEVELAND, GEORGIA.
WAS AHEAD OF HIS TIMES
Man Who Introduced the Now Popular
Tango Into New York Was
Chased From City.
"It's great stuff to be a pioneer,”
says Sweeney. “The best you get Is
to be shot full of arrows.”
Meaning that Sweeney brought the
turkey trot to New York seven or
eight years ago. At that time the town
was hardly ripe for it. So that Swee¬
ney’s dance hall had about all the de¬
fenses of a battleship. One got in by
presenting a card which certified that
the bearer was a regular member of a
ciub with a nice Indian name. Two or
three times the police tried to raid it.
Then there were battles all over the
street, while the patrons were slipped
to safety by subterranean routes. It
was his boast then that he did not
pay license to the city or graft to the
police. The upper circles used to visit
Sweeney's when out slumming. It was
a poor night when one failed to bounce
a bottle off some other one’s resilient
bean. Sweeney himself had a pretty
trick of knife throwing.
“They closed me like a book,” said
Sweeney. “Said that the dancing in
my place was a little too gritty. Mor¬
alists said that the contiguous wiggle
as practiced at Sweeney’s would jar
the susceptibilities of a Piute. But 1
give you my word that if anyone had
pulled any of the physical fox passes
In my place that you can see in the
middle aisle of any restaurant nowa¬
days you could a heard me holler on
Ellis island.”
Overburdened With Love.
“You must learn to love God more
than you do papa or me or anybody
in the whole world.”
Mamma was instructing her young
son in his Sunday school lessoji, which
was the Second Commandment. Her
son was already in the throes of his
first love affair, the object of which
was the daughter of the next door
neighbor, sprightly little Lucy John¬
son.
"But I don’t know God like 1 do you
and papa, and it's hard work to love
some one 1 have never met,” was the
unexpected comeback of little Char¬
ley. “Besides, I love papa so much
and you so much and Lucy Johnson
so much more than all the rest that
I’m just bursting with love, and I
haven't any room left, to love God in.”
Mean Spirit.
"The railways have done away with
passes entirety;” cotwicil. said the member of
the town
“Oh, I dq'a’t know,” replied the em¬
bittered rural editor. “Now and th?n
one of them passes a dividend.”

hair—growing all over the scalp. If
you care for pretty, soft hair and lots
of it, surely get a 25 cent bottle of
Knowlton’s Danderine from any store
and just try it. Adv.

A dose of Peruna at the right
time, at the first symptom of
cold, before the bones begin to
ache, before the sore throat
manifests itself, or the cough, or
the discharge from the nose, just
a dose or two of Peruna before
these symptoms begin is gener¬
ally sufficient. But after the cold
is once established with the
above symptoms prominent, a
bottle of Peruna, or maybe two,
will be necessary.

ECZEMA DISFIGURED FACE
Hampton Springs,Fla.—"I had had ec¬

three years. My face wae-badly dis¬

pimples and itched so very badly I
would scratch it all the time. It was
the most irritating disease 1 ever had.
It started on my face and hands and
it spread all over my body. I had
great large sores all over me, caused
from the eczema. It bothered me da^
and night so that I could not rest
at all.
“I used three remedies for skin dis¬
ease and they didn't give relief at all.
I was almost terrified until a friend
recommended Cuticura Soap and Oint¬
ment to me. They helped me from
the time I started to use them. I only
used two cakes of Cuticura Soap and
two boxes of Cuticura Ointment and
was cured." (Signed; Mrs. E. C. Park¬

my were affected. I had a doctor all the time and used a
galvanic battery, but nothing did me any good. I was not able to go
to bed, but spent my time on a couch or in a sleeping-chair, and soon
became almost a skeleton. Finally my doctor went away for his
health, Compound and my husband heard of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
