GOLD MEDAL.

Mr.. John A. Manget on last Friday
showed us the large, beautiful diploma,
nicely framed, with glass front, and
also $25 gold medal awarded to him
by the Trans-Mississippi and Interna-
tional Exposition held at Omaha in
1898, for the exhibition of III products
from twenty-five acre farm in Geor-
gia. These testimonials came through
Ex-Governor Northen. The inscriptions
set out the above facts, and the diplo-
ma and gold medal are something of
which to be proud. Men strive for
honors in the political field, but here
are honors won by this intelligent and
worthy man in the field of indus
try, where Mother Earth responded
generously in the cultivation of III
products on % acres. There is not an
other person can duplicate the exhibit
unless it is Mr.. J. A. Manget. He de-
serves the highest praise, not only as a
progressive farmer and useful citizen,
but as benefactor to his race, giving
an example worthy of emulation.

BAD CITIZENS.

Saturday nights the colored women
and men seem to take the town, num-
Der of them apparently under the in
fuence of whiskey. Besides the men,
some of the women carry sticks and ra-
zors, evidently anticipating getting
into fight with some one. Profanity
is freely INDUCED in. Last Saturday
night two colored women had fight
on the sidewalk, and one was bitten and
the other was stabbed. A moral uplift
is very much needed among some Of
the colOred race.

BICYCLE THIEF.

About one week ago bicycle was
stolen from Mr.. James McWhirter's
BACK veranda at night. The officers
had been on the lookout for it ever
since. Saturday afternoon Elmer Hen
derson, young negro man about Is
years OF age, carried one of the wheels
to repair shop to get it mended. This
led to his arrest by Constable J. w.
Morris. The negro resisted arrest, and
it required the assistance of Mr.. Mack
Philips to get him to jail A good
deal of excitement was created by the
arrest, owing to the stubbornness of
the negro. The bicycle was recovered
at his mothers, six miles in the ooun-
try.

STABBED.

Last Saturday night, in front of First
National Bank, two negro women, Lucy
Gresham and Mary Frazier, had fight,
prompted by jealousy of the divided
attentions of colored Lothario. The
Frazier woman got the Gresham woman
down on the sidewalk and fastened her
teeth on her cheek and bit her severe
~. They were parted, when the Gresh-
am woman stabbed the Frazier woman
in the back and on the shoulder and
cut her hands in several places. They
are all flesh wounds, and DR.. Nolan,
who dressed the wounds, says they are
not serious. The Gresham woman

BURGLARY.

The Southern Express office, at the

glarized on last Friday night. How an
entrance was made is not known,
whether a window was raised, or the
parties locked up in the office. Some
twenty-five express packages were cut
open and searched for valuables, which
did not seem to satisfy them. They
contented themselves by carrying off
two jugs of whiskey and some clothing.

ANOTHER MEAN ONE.

up-rather, hasn't turned up-in Bat
tie Greek, Michigan. He broke into
the house of colored man who had
died during the day and stole the suit
OF clothes he was to have been buried
in.-Atlanta Journal.
1t is stated as fact, on Monday eve
ming of the cold spell wood was fur
nisoed to very old SICK negro woman
in Marietta to keep her from freezing.
She had already burned up her bed
stead. On the following morning it
was discovered that there was no fire
at all in the house, by those who called
to give her something to eat and coffee,
and as there was no wood or fire in the
house, the old woman was so near fro
zen she could not eat or drink. The
breakfast was left on an old box in the
room while the person returned home
for wood to make fire for her. John
Barlow, her own son, 80 years old :,
slipped into the room and took her
breakfast, and threatened to kill her if
she told on him. She says he took the
wood from her that was left with her
the night before. Fact. GID MORRIS.

MEETING SEVERE CONDITIONS.
American Troops Are Being Badly
Worried by FiIlpinOs.

Hong Kong, March 20-A correspondent
of the Associated Press at Manila says:
An army has seldom operated under har-
der conditions than have been encounter
ed by the American Flying Brigade" The
country the American troops have ira
versed is intersected with lagOons, narrow
and unfordable rivers and bambOos so
thick that the enemy cennot be seen a
hundred feet distant. During the charges,
the Americans were ignorant as to
whether they were attacking hundred
or thousands of rebels, which amazes the
foreign Observers.
The Filpinos were unexpectedly fierce
at Cainta. Had it not been for the fact
that the American line was thin. the in
filading fire would have slaughtered ma
ny of our men.
One of the prisoners captured by the
Americans says the Filipino leaders boast
that they can continue such a war for
years, depending upon the American
forces being weakened daily by twenty
men killed wounded or invalided.
Some of the high officials here think that
10000 reinforcements are needed as the
troops now on this island are hardly more
than what are required to maintain a
line around Manila and police the city.
Considerable rain has fallen already. and
it seems that the seasons for rains is be-
ginning prematurely. 1t is possible that
when the steady rains begin. our troops
will have to be withdrawn to permanent
barracks which may enable the rebels TO
return to their old positions
The Americans have refrained from de-
stroying the buildings in the country
swept by Gen. Wheaton's troops. A sem
try has been stationed al every store at
Pasig, but the soldiers are bringing in
loads of loot from dwelling houses.
