THE AUGUSTA CHRONICLES.

Atlanta News: Every Georgian will
read with concern the announcement
of the temporary embarrassment of
the Augusta Chronicle, and will wait
with affectionate interest to hear of
the re-establishment and prosperity of
this old, honorable and useful news
paper. The Chronicle is part of the
history of Georgia. 1t has spoken 10y
ally and ably for the state before two
thirds of the Georgians now living
came into the world. 1t was one OF
the earliest, ablest and most earnest
opponents of the life and thought OF
the commonwealth, and its record of
service is without a break and beyond
all estimate. An heroic inspira ton TO
the South in the dark days of civil
strife, 1t was one of the first and fore
most to adapt itself with courage and
optimism to the work of rehabflitating
a desolate country. And in this great
work of political and industrial regen-
Grafton of Georgia and the South 1t
has never been either a laggard in
love or a bastard in strife. For
whether under the gifted James Gard
ner, or under the brilliant hearted, pa
triotic and lovable Walsh, or under
the guidance of the clean, capable and
noble hearted Hook the editorial col
umns of the Chronicle have always
stood in adversely and IN prosperity
so Loyalty and dauntlessly for the veal
of Georgia that the state would be
ungratefu1 not to stand now in deep
est sympathy with the life and death
struggle of this gallant and faithful
friend of former days. Augusta can
not afford to let the Chronicle go down.
Better give up a brace of banks or

dies or an hundred looms. 1t would

SMITH and Deputy Beck.
Guthrie, o. r.. Jan. 17.--Warren Ben
metz deputy United States marshal for
the Usage nation. says the men who
killed Sheriff Smith and Deputy Breck
near Anadarko are two of the fugi-
tives from the federal prison at Fort
Leavenworth. five OF whom are still at
large.
Bennett has been on the trail of the
fellows for three weeks and ran them
out of the Usage nation only last week
At that time he telegraphed Sheriff
Smith at Anadarko and told him to
be on the lookout for the pair as they
were desperate characters TO deal with.
Bennett says beyond any doubt Smith
knew the men whom he attacked in
the Indian hut. and this made him
more anxious to capture them.
Governor Ferguson has offered re-
ward of $500 each for the arrest OF the
men who murdered the Anadarko Off

The robbers camped Wednesday not
far from the Chiekasaw line and pro-
ceeded again Thursday morning, being

they are in the Indian Territory.
Three hundred men are In pursuit,

ifs and United States marshals are in

The Observance OF Pre-MemoriaI Day In

Since it's institution in 1894 a con-
stantly growing interest attaches to
the observance of Pre- Memorial Day

tunity that this day offers to enkin-
die in the hearts ofchildren and youth
right civic sentiments and high patri-
otto purposes, which ever make for
better citizenship. The near approach
of May 20 again reminds US of a
serious duty and golden opportunity.
ANY teacher worthy to have charge
of Vermont boys and girls will pro-
vide Loyalty for the appropriate and
inspiring observance of this day.
The State Superintendent of Educa-
ton has sent out a booklet of 4S
pages as an aid to teachers in pre-
pairing suitable exercises. About
twenty pages refer to the history
and life in Vermont, and contains
much matter of more than ordinary
interest. A copy should have reach
ed every teacher. If any teacher has
failed to receive copy, she will re-
ceive one by sending to the State
Superintendent, Montpelier.
