A Bold Theft.

During Christmas one negro saw an
other get a $1,000 bill in change after
making some purchases. The negro who
had the money put it in his overcoat
pocket, got IN his wagon and started
home. The other negro asked for a ride
and took position in the wagon just be-
hind the owner, both standing up. On
the outskirts of the city the darkey in the
rear threw his arms around the one who
had the money, grabbed the bill from his
pocket and jumped from the wagon. The

A NARROW ESCAPE

Fire--A Little Boy Hurt.

'
Fire--A Little Boy Hurt.
On Thursday morning of Christmas
week the people of Bronwood were
startled by the cry of fire. In few min
utes every man and boy in town were on
hand. The fire was found to be in a
negro restaurant, which, with its
contents, were consumed. The
alliance gin and mill, J. w. Glass
livery stable, and two stores were
in great danger of catching for a
while. If they had caught there would
have been but little of the business por-
ton of Bronwood left. But they we're
saved by the heroic efforts of an i'm
promptu bucket brigade.
Hadley, son of DR.. j L. Stapleton had
narrow escape from horrible death
on the same day. He was taking his
first lesson in horseback riding, when
his horse got unruly and threw him off.
The little boys foot got caught in the
stirrup and the horse began to run and
kick him. he finally got loose, or was
kicked loose, and was picked mp for
dead. To the surprise of every one
there were no fatal injuries, the most
serious one being fracture of the arm.

School begins second Monday in Janu-

every day for board.
Every house in town is occupied, and
more are building.
Turkey dinners have become common

a success, notwithstanding the freezing

were numerous and many of them Valu-
able. Before delivering the presents a
cake was awarded to the prettiest young
lady in the audience, by ballot Thelqual-
iiication necessary to becomea voter was
ten cents, an improvement on the fran

any sensescast their ballots. There were
about 400 ballots Miss Villa Henry re-
ceiyed the highest number of votes and

one merit for each perfect recitation.
These merits are made of metal and very
much resemble small change. On Mon

Grubbs had confectioneries, fire works,
ETC., displayed on counter, and clerks
t. sell these articles. Three pretty little
GIRLS. Misses Mamie Anthony, Attic Hell
ton and Joe Brooks acted in this capaci-
/ v. The merits were current money that
night. The little fellows bought with
great pride and pleasure. We suspect
that the little ones will work harder than

NOW FOR THE 81. p" ELECTION.
The Candidates Are in the Field and Are

The Candidates Are in the Field and Are
Circulating Among Their Friends.
The candidates. like the poor, are
still with us, and the next election that
will agitate the people will be that of
instice of the peace.
1t is not by any means an unimportant
contest, for. the title of ~. Pr" however
modest it may be in other parts, is
not without its honors in Dawson.
The annual income of a justice in Daw-
son is quite a respectable sum of money.
The men who have worn the ermine of
the judiciary seat have heretofore
been men of strict integrity.
An office that will soon be vacant is
the one that's now filed by Judge M. G,
Statham.
He has made very efficient and pop
sllar justice of the peace, and during the
four years in which he has occupied his
jurisdiction he has given general sat
isfaction.
But Judge Statham will not be al,
lowed to walk into another term on level
ground. He will have to climb a big
hill that has been raised by the candidacy
of Mr.. J. w. Peddy.
Mr.. Peddy is very clever and accom-
plished gentleman, and mnn of strong
sense of honor.
Both sides claim the victory, and nc
one can say, with any exactitude, which
of the two candidates will be successful
next Saturday.
Tbe election in the Dover district will
also be full of interest A third party
tie is opposing Judge Murray, and the
candidates will not be lurking in ''pri-
vate life' when the time arrives for tax
ing occasion by the hand.

cases Of contempt of court that has ever

aldermen ought 10 be dealt with to the
full extent Of the law, which is twenty
