/
day Night.
Two white burglars are nov
confined in the county jail, and
directly after May court they will
probably begin serving a term Of
twenty years in the coal mines.
They are Jim Hudgins and John
Davis, the same men who are sup.
posed to have passed counterfeit
money at Parrot, an account OF
which was published in last weeks
News.
Hudgins is not stranger the
bars of our Jail, as he reposed be-
hind them several days about
three years ago when he was flu
gitiye from the Alabama coal mines
and was captured in this city by
chief ofpclice Hatcher.
The scene of their operations
Saturday night was at Graves Sta !.
ton, about four miles below Daw>
son, and the store Of DIR. ] D.
Graves was burglarized while his
clerk was at supper. The burglars
entered through a rear window and
IN twenty minutes had riAed the
money drawer of about $40 and
disappeared with three pair of
shoes and other articles of lesser
value.
Runners were sent to the city to
notify Sheriff Thornton and Chief
Hatcher, and these two officials be-
gan OF once to get in some of the
clever work for which they are
noted. AS the result, Hudcins and
Davis we're behind the bars within
two hours after the burglary was
committed AMI the stolen goods
were in the hands OF the officers.
They were arrested at the house
OF a white woman by the name of
Emma Newsome, wher. the stolen
shoes were found. The other goods
were found on the burglars and
have been identified by DR.. Graves.
All the money was recovered
with the exception of about $500.
Hudg.ngs and Davis waived
preliminary trial before Judge
Simmons yesterday morning and
were returned to Jail in Default Of
a $3.50 bond each.

sALTLED WHISKY.
A Practical Joke Perpetrated ON
Three Citizens,

| - oVAC ACApCG1ecu vi
Three Citizens.
Last Saturday was one of those
rainy, disagreeable days that occa
s'onal'y strays out OF its cours,
and drops upon US unswares.
Three @ell>known citizens of tn,
city had a bottle of fluid that wal
calculated to make one inherent
to the the gloom off of a disagreed,
BILE day deposited, as they thought
in a convenient but secret place
and they would, from time to
time, ilnbibe of it on the ely.
In an evil hour some friend OF
foe found the fluid in question,
and, putting handful of salt int G
it, quietly placed it back in its
hiding place.
In a short while our three
friends thought it about time to
reinforce, and suiting their inclina-
tons they sought the place where
the bottle was in hiding.
"1t>s awful cold" remarked
number one, as number two brought
forth tie bottle. Number three
smiled and nodded his head IN as
sent. The glasses were filled, the
toast SAID and
"What in the name of goodness
is the matter with this stuff" howl
ed number two, as he made wry
face and spit it out.
Jerusalem Christopher" ex.
claimed number one, as he splurt-
ed and spit out the stuff.
An examination revealed the
fact that the practical joker had
got in his work, aud that he had
done 1t well they didn't doubt for a
moment.
The air was blue for awhile, but
finally they all quieted down aud
mentally swore vengeance against
the perpetrator.
Number three wore a sad ex.
preston as he remarked "that salt
is mighty good thirg, but it
plays h Il with whisky"

AT OUR CHURCHES.
An Enthusiastic Meeting ut the
Methodist Church Sunday The
Baptist Prayer.MeetiRg--
The PresbYterians.

]
The Presbyterians.
There was large congregation
at the Methodist church Sunday
the largest that has assembled
there for some time.
Rev. E. NJ. Whiting delivered a
discourse that was full of feeling
and effect, aud spoke of the work
of building a new Methodist
church in Dawson. He felt GER.
tain that our people would erect
an edifice that would be an orna@
ment to the city, an honor to God,
ard advance the cause of christie
anity in this city and community.
He said that he had heard for
the last five years that the people
of Dawson were going to build a
new church, and that he came to
Dawson to find they were going to
build it still. But, while he thought
it only right that the people should
pay this tribute to the God who
has prospered and blessed them
so abundantly of late, he would
rather see a temple Of worship
erected in the heart OF one sinner,
than to erect a temple OF gold.
At the close OF the sermon sever.
al members arose and spoke of
their great desire tor a new church.
Each one thought that now ives
the time to build and promised is
nancial aid.
The building committee met
Monday night and resolved to build
the church. The following gentle.
men were appointed a mittee
to solicit subscriptions: Rev. E.
NJ. Whiting, J. R. Mercer, A. J.
Baldwin, o. B. Stevens, T. J.
Hart, N. w. Dozier, j. D. Laing,
B. B. Perry aud j. G. Parks.
THE BAPTIST PRAYER~MEETING,
