Abduction of Miss Linton
Still a Mystery.
The recent attempt to abdnct
Miss Lucile Linton from her
home at Thomasville is still
shrouded in mystery. Detectives
have been at work on the case,
but if any valuable clues have
been obtained they are withheld
from the public. The excitement
was increased when an attempt
was made to assassinate Mr. W. H.
Mitchell whose horse and buggy
figured prominently in the at¬
tempt at abduction.
Mr. Mitchell was sitting in his
window reading when a
man in the yard fired at him.
He returned the fire, but did not
hit his man. Mr. Mitchell was
wounded in the leg. A descrip¬
tion of his assailant was immedi¬
ately telephoned to Pelham, and
the officers here have been on the
lookout. ;UtkUUu*
it wilt remembered that
■ Mitchell’s horse was stolen from
him at his place several miles in
tfa* country, and was used by
some person, who, disguised as a
negro woman, drove to the home
of Miss Linton in the heart of the
city, and delivered a note saying
that her brother-in-law had been
injured in a runaway accident
several miles from town, and
wanted her to come to him. She
was somewhat suspicious, and re¬
moved her jewels and taking her
pistol, started with the supposed
woman. When on the edge of
town she became very suspicious
and raised objection. The per¬
son who was in the buggy with
her immediately threw a buggy
robe over her head and made an
effort to bind her, but her screams
brought a gentleman riding near
by to her assistance. It is
thought several parties were in¬
terested in the conspiracy, and
that it was an attempt to rob her
home in Thomasville. It is
known that at the time of her
father’s death some time ago,
quite a lot of money waa found
in his safe in the house. It was
one of the most high handed at¬
tempts ever made in Thomas
county, and the excitement ran
high in Thomasville.
Every effort is being made to
apprehend the guilty partses.

The First Baptist Church will
hold a series of special meetings

There will be after-uoon and
evening services. Rev. B. G.
Smith of Atlanta will do the

Rodgers, of Atlanta, will con¬
duct the singing.

ceive a blessing from the Lord.

Marriage of Dr. O’Neal
and Miss Bassett.
A marriage of special interest
to the people of this vicinity was
that of Dr. J. R. O’Neal and Miss
Lucy Bassett, which was solemn¬
ized at Hendersonville, N C
last Thursday evening. The mar
riaga tcok place at the Baptist
parsonage in that city, and was
witnessed by a few close friends
The bride aud groom arrived Sat¬
urday in Pelham and have been

good wishes of a host of friends.

Did You Subscribe For
Uncle Remus.
Some uueasiness »s felt by
those who gave subscriptions a
couple of weeks ago to a traveling
representative of Uncle Remus
Magazine, who offered the maga¬
zine and a one thousand dollar
accident insurance policy for one
dollar. He secured many sub¬
scriptions in Pelham.
The proposition was so good
that there has been some fear as
to its genuineness. In view of a
statement appearing iu the Alba¬
ny Herald within the last day or
two, saying that a similar scheme
had been worked in Albauy in
connection with Tom Watson’s
Jeffersonian, and it has been re¬
pudiated by the Jeffersonian,
makes those who subscribed for
Uncle Remus Magazine somewhat
uneasy.

The horse owned by Davis
Mathews has made the time of
2 9^ on the track as a three year
old and has oulv been in training
a short while. This is about the
fastest time ever yet made by a
Georgia horse and means that
there is a chance to develop a
fast one here sure enough. The
colt has not had much training
yet and will be given all the
chance necessary to bring him
around into what he can do
