A PETITION FOR PARDON.
Negro in the Penitentiary Thought to

Negro in the Penitentiary Thought t.
Be Innocent.
It's generally believed that neg1
boy now serving a twelve months sen
! Ience at McRea's convict camp il
Lowdnes county innocent.
At the last term of Terrell superior
court Will Grass, who was errand boy
+ at f. w. Leben's baker shop, was con
yicted and sent to the Changing on lie
6en's evidence. 1t came about this way
part of Leben's store Was occupied
by Mr. F. P. Aliens jewelry business
Things went along all right for awhile
but finally Mr.. Allen became convinced
that some one was purloining articles Of
jewellery. He kept a close lookout, but
failed to detect the thief. One day a
gold watch was missing, and on the
same day Leben discharged Grass, who
returned to his home at Albany. Leben
tod Mr.. Allen that he thought he could
recover the watch if some inducement
was offered, which caused Mr.. Allen to
offer reward of $40.
Lebent went to Albany and told the
officers there of his mission, but pre-
ferred to d the detective work himself
He then wen. to Grass mothers home to
look for the watch. After an inspection
of the interior of the house, Leben sent
a messenger for officers, who responded,
and, after a short search, succeeded in
finding the watch in box among some
old clothes. Leben brought the watch
t. Dawson and received the reward.
Grass was arrested, tried and sentenced
to the penitentiary for one year.

cent events, that Leben had the watch
all the time, and that Grass is serving
term in the penltentiarY for crime of
which he is not guilty.
A large petition, covering four pages
of legal cap paper, has been forwarded to
the governor asking him to pardon Grass,
and there is scarcely any doubt but that
the negro will soon be given his liberty.

NE CROWNED TaG GRaQGS
OF THE BRAVE SOLDIERS WHO
QUIETLY REST
In the Dawson Cemetery Peacefully They
Slumber, and Holy Angels Guard
Their Beds.

Once more has Dawson paid loving
tribute to the memory of the heroes who
are asleep in the cemetery.
Though Twenty-Five years have passed
since the fearful struggle, ended, Memo
rial Day, the 26,h of April, was tittingly
observed Thursday, and the deeds OF
bravery and the valor of those who fell
| fighting under the bars and stripes were
| commemOrated in words of elCquance
| and admiration.
Every business house 10 the city was
closed, and when the exercises began at
3 o'clock large audience had assembled
aC the opera house to witness them
Co onel j. q. Parks was master of GER
emonies, and made some appropriate ard
beautiful remarks upon the Oigin OF
Memorial Day.
The exercises were opened with a
song, ga Tribute to Albert Sidney John
stCn," by choir arranged for the occa-
sion, after which Rev. w. FL. Patterson,
D. D.,pastor of Their First Baptist Church,
offered up a beautiful prayer. This was
followed with piano solo by Miss Jessie
Martin. Mr.. Laura Timer feeling rected
"The Old Time South" and was loudly
applauded. Mrs. j. S. Lowley sang
''Stonewall Jacksons Prayer for His
Wife and Child" and the tender senti-
ment found response in every heart that
listened to the beautiful lines.
Judge j. M. Griggs then introduced
Hon. W. E. Wooten, of Albany, the ora
tor of the day, who was received with
tiattering applause. He was already
well-know1 in Dawson, but his beautiful
address won him the hearts OF all who
heard him. 1t was an admirable address
in all respects, and his beautiful periods
of eloquenee delighted the vast audience
The bearing of the handsome young
orator was impressive, his voice mellow
and agreeable, his delivery perfect, and
from first to last he enlisted the interes
and sympathy of all who were present.
His theme was the old but always sacred
story of the heroic sac ifces OF the men
who wore the gray, and his tribute to
those who fell and those who survived
was earnest and eloquent.
After the address line Of march was
formed under the direction of Major B.
H. Hood, and the exercises were con-
cluded at che cemetery
The ladies and little girls arranged
flowers upon the graves of the heroes
who sleep the sleep of the just-the
grandeSt martyrs who ever faced foe in
bate.
While the graves were being decorated
the Dawson Guards fired the customary
military salute to the departed soldiers.
The occasion will be remembered as a
most impressive Memorial Day.
