Two tramps who were making
night hideous with their cursings
and rawlings were captured by
Marshal Scurry on last Thursday
and brought before our town coun-
Gil for trial for being drunk and
disorderly. They plead guilty and
were fined $3.50. They paid the
fine and also SIS fee to their law
yers. They had lots Of money in
addition to the above, sewed in
THAR clothes in divers places. The
moral of this is that things are not
always what they seem; and we
have no doubt that many Of the
tramps passing through our coun-
try have money, some of them a
good deal of the filthy stuff that
cheers aud also inebriates.
Another Fire.
Last night Tuesday, about
1920 o'clock the building occupied
by Messrs. Padgett & Fair for fur
nlture, wagons, huggies. ETC., and
Miss Ida Covar for her millinery
goods, was entirely destroyed by
fire. We have no means Of know
ing how the fire originated. Messrs.
Padgett & Fair were covered by
insurance to the amount of $1.5OO;
the building. which belonged to
the Equitable Building and Loan
Association, of Augusta, was also
covered. Miss Ida Covar, however,
suffered total loss, something
like .$500-having not dollar OF
insurance.
Capt. Benefits residence caught
On fire several times, but was
finally saved from destruction by
heroic efforts.
Abuse him as we. may, in the
hour of our dirust extremity. the

passed himself, even Alb Clark put
in lick or two.
