the liquid through a hole in the post used as

TO the Jail at Gainesville Coffee was placed
in a cell next to a couple of nOOnshlnerS,
who were singing "PaSs Around the Bot

told them TO stop, but they paid no atten-
ton TO the orders from the adjoining cell,

|. S. PEBBLES. OF Gibson, made an assign
ment to b. F. Walker All of the Macon
creditors of Mr.. PEBBLES. through their at
torneys, Thomas and W. b. Willingham,
filed what is called creditors bill. In
this bill certain things are alleged against
the AS ignOr, which is intended to attack
the assignment and have it set aside The
bill also prays for the appointment of "A re-
celver to take possession of the assets of the
asSiguOr, which may be in the hands of the
assignee. The bill now under consideration
by the Macon cred tors of PEBBLES was pre-
scented to the Judge, and he granted an
order appointing Mr.. " NJ. Solomon, Of
Macon, and also one of the creditors Of Mr..
PEBBLES, receiver. Clothed with authority
from the proper tribunal, Mr. Solomon at
once proceeded to have the order Of the
Judge executed. and came TO Gibson, with
the power thus vested, and demanded Of
the assignee, Mr.. Walker, the assets of
Mr.. PEBBLES. Mr. Walker at once
Obeyed the mandate of the Judge
and turned over to the receiver the
assets in his possession. 1t appears that the
assignee, in carrying out the order of the
D''N6o' Np'SC4hiiy ~ dgliB pFSi JIG Ch9u III
ms hands he paid over to the receiver
81 ops, which is claimed as money belonging
to GlaScock county, III the hands OF Mr.
PEBBLES as County Treasurer. 1t also APP
pears that the money was paid over with
out any protest save that it was at the time
claimed as county money, but iuasmuch as
it was found i'll the assignee's possession he
thought best 10 obey the order of the court
50 il was paid over. Mr. Solomon dsclaims
having any money belonging to Giascock
county, though in truth it may be the
money of the county. Just at this time the
treasury of Glascock county is empty. If
it can he satisfactorily shown to the court
that the money so turned over by the as
signee was money Of GlaScock county. it
will most assuredlv be forthcoming. "a the
receiver who now has it is fully response
bic for it, and Glascock county will not
loSeit.
