We learn that the cannon ball
train was again fired into few
nights ago, but as on several occa-
sions before without any serious
results.
This shooting takes place just
beyond the city limits near some
houses of i'll repute.
These pistol shots at the trains
would do better service if pointed
in the direction of the own4r ol
the weapon.
A vIgilant watch shou'd be kept
on this locality and every effort
made to detect ahd capture the
the perpetrators ofsuch hitherto I'M
heard of and criminal deeds in our
usually quiet and orderly city.

and appeal to the solicitor,geperal
and grand jurors to bring the vio>
lators Of the law to justice. IT the
guilty ones can be discovered and
their evil deeds brought to light
by judicial enquiry, we are sure
Judge Clarke will visit upon the
malefactora the full penalty Of a
violated law.
In this connection we would
again call attention to the houses OF
ill>fame that foster such wicked
ness and have such tremendous
influence for bad in the community.
Attempts have been made to bring
the keepers of these houses to jus,
tice, but they have invariably es-
capped on some tcchnicality OF the
law. This matter should receive
the attention OF the grand jury
soon to be in session. a glance
at their-names gives hope that an
effort will be made to wipe out
these de-s OF rottenness.

To-day Chief of Police kenan
received telegram from the chief
of Griffin asking if a box address
ed to Walter o. Sutherland was in

found the box there. Instructions
were then givon to two policemen

robbed the store of cOnsid .rable
stock, and it is thought that some
of the stolen goods were in the box
which was addressed to Sutherland.
