Two Offenders Supplied With Justice
This Morning.

esting this morning, there being two
cases set for hearing.

a charge of carrying pistol. He halls
from the neighborhood of Port Royal.
He was fined $50 and costs and will
work it out on the chain gang.
j. III. Wilson, the negro who was
arrested yesterday charged with the
theft of about "a worth of street car
tickets, was given a preliminary hear.
ing. When put on the stand he adj
mitted that he had served term in
the penitentiary for stealing and did
not seem TO be averse to a second
sentence. When he was searched a
key to every drawer in Secretary
Dortch's Office was found on his per-
son. There is no doubt, now, that he
is the thief who has been stealing
many articles of small value from the
Office.
Squire Caldwell fixed his bond at
$500 for his appearance Mt the next
term of the Criminal court. Failing to
give the same he was remanded to

Bremen Coming in for Her Share Of To-
bacco.

The tobacco market is stronger to.
day, prices are up considerably on
Bremen tobacco, and sellers are en-.
couraged. Mr.. Clark, they say, is
loaded down with orders, and has
been buying more tobacco lately than
all the balance of the board. Mr..
Hamburger, the old war horse and
bull in the market, says he feels
ashamed of Clark; that he is just
running his folks buying so much to-
bacco when it is so scarce. Mr.. Clark,
however, was not getting all of it to-
day; the other fellows came in for a
liberal share. AS long as the Bre-
men demand holds out prices will be
stronger.

when they accompany those diseases,
the system must be cleansed and the

after they have operated, take Cham

Jas. III. Long, ST., of Cedar Hill, is
another man who has many friends
in GAINESVILLE, and he is here today.
His acquaintance, however, are as Il
rule confined to the tobacco trade.
He is member of the firm of Long
& Bell, of Cedar Hill, and is one OF
the best tobacco men of Robertson
county. He and G. G. Bell, his part
ner, have perhaps sold more Robert
son county tobacco on the GAINESVILLE
market than any firm in that county.
Mr.. Long does the buying for the
Cedar Hill factory and knows tobac-
co when he sees it. He was APP
preached by a reporter this morning
and questioned as to his business
here. He replied that he had just
come down to see the boys. "How
do they appear was asked by the
reporter. oh" he replied, "they
seem to be down in the mouth about
something; that Frenchman has
swooped down on them again."
With that answer he strolled off to
ward the Tobacco Exchange, shaking
his head and muttering something
about the Sunday-school class; that
the reporter did not catch, as he was
chasing an item which turned out to
be a Franklin Bank Casa failure.

" The Henrietta." I"

The Henrietta" with Stuart Robson
in his familiar role of BERTHE Vanalstyne,
was seen in the Providence Opera House
last night The piece seems TO have suf-
fered nothing in its attractiveness by the
withdrawal of Senator Crane. The
theatre was crowded 10 the doors last
night, notwithstanding that prices for
seats were increased nearly one-half. The
simple confidence OF BERTHE and the lack
OF animation on the part of his brother-in-
law, the English Lord, furnished amuse-
ment Of the lighter sort, but the clever
work of the widow in her humorous sit
uations with the parson and Nicholas
Vanalstyne gave rise TO merited recogni-
tion from the audience. The dramatic
climax OF the second act, where BERTHE
shoulders his brothers crime in silence,
was simply perfect art, and Mr. Robson
was forced TO appear before the curtain
and acknowledge the plaudits of his
friends. There can bc no fault found with
the work of single member of the com
pany, and THE Henrietta continues 70
boom. Mr.. Robson made little speech
at the close of the play.
