tIll wrlto youa ballad OIL dollars and
cents, every line shall be perfectly true;
and I'm writing these verses on purpose,
my friend, to present fow home truths
to you. A quarter looks small when
you're out with the boys, fifty cents or y
dollar soon goes; and ride ON the car or
a beer is but five, which IL nothing, as
every one knows. II you squander a
quarter each day Of your life, though it
may seem remarkably queer, If you put
it away in tho bank you would KAYE
$9l.25 in year. But quarter day is
not half what you waste il you count
your occasional sprecs; waste will Well
pay for your board and your clothes, and
therestyou can save il you please. So
shut otf your treating, and walk when
you can, and give up the excitement
you've crayed, and you'll bo quite sur
prised at the end OF the year at tho tidy
amount you hav e..saved."-Ezchange.
Chief OF Police FAINT and Policemen
Cummings and Blackman had long,
lively race last Monday in attempting to
arrest negro named Doc. Jones, who, it
is believed, is an escaped convict from
one of the phosphate mines in the lower
part of the State. The officers had been
on the lookout for the negro for some

he was concealing himself in a house in
the city. When the negro saw the officers
the house, he started OH q
run at two-forty pace. The officers fol-

across Rocky River. The prisoner was
brought into the city and lodged in Jail.
Jones is coal black, with long, deep scar
on the right side of his face. AMI is nearly
six feet high. He was arrested here two

offence in either Pickens or Oconee Coun-
ties, and was sent to the Pcnitentiary
from one of these Counties. The author
