Shortly after the death of Policeman Fowler
Mai Dye recommended 10 the commissioner,
that SO dollars be set apart from the police

officer. The commissioner referred the matter
to Attorney Riddle for opinion, and yesterday
notified Maj Dye that there is such doubt
about allowing any sum 10 the widow of the
deceased officer for support out Of the

grctto approve the application. "lf you find

The Female BaSeballists.

Tom James went over to AL
bany last Saturday, and while
there witnessed a part of the game
of ball between the Philadelphia
female club and the Artesian
City's. The game resulted in a
score Of 80 to 4 in favor Of the
girls. Tom says the girls COM
posing the club are not strikingly
handsome, and their playing is a
farce. They dress in clothes that
are much abbreviated. The girls,
however, have two things about
them that are not abbreviated:
their feet. In batting an | throw
ing the ball, the girls act just as
other girls do. Tom says there
is the same tremendous reaching
out and swinging around, which re-
suits in sending the ball in the
wrong direction. But they can
run. This seems to be an accom-
plishunent with all girls, which ac-
counts for the fact that 50 many
men are over taken and lassoel | by
them. In catching the ball, they
don't catch it,

Among the Boys.

In hunting items for the JOUR
NAL last Saturday evening, our
reporter came across three or four
clerks. jeff Davis was the first
we interviewed, and in reply to
our query for the news, said we
could state he "was well, and
hoped these few lines would find
his girl enjoying the same bless
ings." Jeff certainly asremarkable
news gathering propensities, and
knows what viii interest the pub
lie.
oar next subject was Wade
Davis. Wade did not know any
more than Joe Brown and Col
quitt both ought to, but by close
questioning We found out he
kept his sweetheart's picture in
his boss show case. After look
ing at it, we arrived at the c)nclu-
sion that it was a pretty good look
ing chrome.
The next was Dennis Davis
Dennis was suffering with broker
heart, hence, we could learn moth,
ing from him. We guarantee
that if Dennis will take gooC
large dose of matrimony he viii
will never again be likewise
troubled.
Last, but by no means least
was John Cobb, In reply t.
what do you know, John?' he
said: Il don't knov nothing.
We quickly arrived at the conclu
sion that John was eminently cor
rect.

A Child Found Dead.

Last Wednesday afternoon, near
Browns mill, in this county, a
little boy, eight or nine years old,
was found dead in an old field. 1t
Seems that he and a companion
,went rabbit hunting one afternoon,
and they became separated. This
little fellow was unable to find his
way back home, and being in deli
cate health, 'soon died from ex-
posure. 1t was child of Mrs.
Wills. We learn that the cor
ner's jury returned verdict to the
ueffect that the child died from
hunger and exposure. We would
ilike to give our readers more of
,the particulars, but after diligent
inquiry we failed to learn any
thing more than the above, We
, give the above just as it was re-
lated to us.

Another Thief.

Last Saturday morning negro
man entered Christie &
Laing's store and told Mr. Laing
that he wanted to exchange vest
he had bought there. The negro
gave Mr.. Laing the vest, who at
once recognized J. r. Mercer's
mark. Joe told him that he would
exchange and to go across the
street with him to get one that
would suit. They both started
across the street, and when near
Marcer's the negro suspected Joe's
intentions and heeled it to safer
quarters. He has not been seen
since.

Thieves Caught.

Last Friday afternoon Joe and
Charley Chambers and Neal Will
hams, OF the colored persuasion,
and about Is or 20 years of..age,
were caught after stealing articles
from three of our merchants. 1t
seems that they were in co-part-
nership-one would steal from one
house and one from another.
Friday evening one stole a ball
OF cord and a handkerchief from
Melton Bros, then crossing the
street another appropriated a
pocket knife of Judge Orr's, and
then moving up the street they
stopped at Christie & Laing's.
where the other one stole a
pair of hose. Joe Laing missed the
hose and at once suspected tn
negroes. He took them to the
back part of the store and after
searching each one produced the
above named articles. The ne
groes owned up and told where
all the goods were stolen from.
They were taken to Jail, and Satur-
day morning a commitment trial
was had before Judge Simmons,
who committed them to jail to
await the action of the Superior
Court, which convenes the first
Monday in next month. There
are many idle negro boys on our
streets daily, and there is no
doubt but what a large amount of
this petty thieving is committed,
and people cannot be too cautious.
Stringency in the enforcement OF
vagrant laws is a good remedy for
these epidemics of thievery, and
it is to be hoped that the proper
authorities will keep a sharp look
out for all suspicious characters.

Gone to Conference.

Rev. Peter S. Twitty left last
Monday for conference, which
convened in Savannah yesterday.
1t is not known whether Hir.
Twitty will be returned here or
not, but wherever he goes, he
will carry with him the most ear
nest wishes of our people for
his success. He has labored ear
nestly during the past year for the
good of our people, and we trust
that wherever he may be cast the
smiles of the Master he has so
earnestly served will rest upon
him and his.

I'd his cousin ALE Parter, the guide

,rs. He was shot dead.
The fight was terrific for sever,
but at last ended with
ihe CASTOR party the victors.
The bodies Of he dead mon
we're left tin the woods and the
Dficels struck out for town, arriv-
ng at Gainesville at daybreak.
MINOR ESTES STORY.
Minor Estes was found to have
cached Gainesville. He stated
hat soon after he was left with
he wagon the moonshiners came
ipon him and gave him a terrible
beating, cut the horse out and took
possession of him. Young Estes
Says they then were preparing to,
bang him with buggy line when
he broke away and ran two miles
without stopping. He then came
ppon a wagon and was carried
safely into Gainesville.
The young man is a nephew of
Judge Estes, of Gainesville.
WHAT WILL FOLLOW.
1t is not known yet what will
follow. If the raiding party is
arrested the trial will occur in the
5he United States court, and if the
moonshiners who were connected
with the affair can be found out
ihey will probably be tried on a

A Brave Boy.

Charlie Lee, a nine year old son
of Mr.. W w. Lee, while trying
to catch chicken in his fathers
lot last Friday was severely bitten
by dog. 1t seems that a Mr..
Hitler, Of Randolph county, who
went to Mr.. Lees to buy oats, had
a vicious watchdog with him, and
while the chicken and Charlie
were having a race in the lot the
dog joined in and grabbed the
little boy instead of the chicken.
Report says that neither the dog
or the boy followed until the lit
tie fellow succeeded in getting
both hands hold of the dog 5, mouth
and pulling it open loosed HIM
self and then began squeezing the
4 g's mouth SO severely that the
poor animal yelled from excruciat-
ing pain. OF the two, the dog
seems to have got the worst of
the game, if reports be true.
