EIberton Gazette: 'swe announced a few
weeks ago that small cotton factory would
be put up in Elbsrton. We now believe that
one wlll oe put up In town and another in the
country-that Ebert ccuuty will have two cot

Under the heading s'Served Him Right, the
Cochran Enterprise says: "On last Friday
morning a specimen of the genus tramp, call
ing himself printer, skipped into our office
and asked Tor Job. Not needing any extra
help just at that time, he was told the way to
she nsZJ town After lOatng around the office
for an hour or two, he mar8ged to steal pis-
tol from the foreman, Mr.. Bateman and after
getting one or two drinks Of whisky, for which
somebody else paid. he started ON the war
path His first point of attack was at the
residence OF the late Mr. Walters, where he
greatly frightened the ladies' and children
os the family by his belligerent actions,
but was finally driven Of. and CON
tinued his raid for bood and spoils
out on the Dublin road. He brought up at the
residence Of a gentleman a short distance
beYond TriDpYiile where he proposed to spend
the night, Offering the stolen pistol as pay for
his supper ami lodging. His actions becoming
violent, and not at all suited to the notions of
the community around, the valiant warrior
was taken out into the woods a short distance
from the house by a posse of the neighbors,
and treated to dose of hickory oil When
released he made dounle-quick time in the
direction of Dublin, and was seen no more.
We advise our friends in Dublin and vicinity to
keep 8 lookout for him, and if the medicine
has not had the desired effect of toning down
his lighting and stealing propensities give him
another dose"
