After a lingering illness of nearly
three months, resulting from typhoid
fever, Mr.. William r. Allen passed
away shortly before one o clock Thurs

The death of Mr.. Allen, in the prime
OF vigorous manhood, is peculiarly
sad and deplored among wide circle
of friends here.
He was native of this city, and
nearly all of his life had been spent
here with the exception of short period
where engaged in business in Atlanta.
Mr.. Allen was in his fortieth year and
was young man of genial and affa-
BILE disposition, and of excellent bust
ness qualities as well.
The funeral services were conduct

A TOURIST HOTEL FOR MACON
Land Near OCmuIgee Park Bought for
That Purpose.

The sum of Sl4,750 was bid Wednes-
day by Mr.. Ike Dunwoody for 316
acres of land located near OcmuIgee
park in Macon. Although the real
purchaser of the land, Mr.. Emory
Winshlp, will not talk about the pur-
chase until it has been confirmed by
the courts, it is understood on pretty
coed authority that the property he
has purchased will be the site for a
100000 tourist hotel.
The Ocmulgee park territory is
nicely located and would make a
splendid site for tourist hotel. 1t is
within two miles of the city and not
far from the Ocmulgee river and the
pumping station.

EIGHT OF Nineteen IN
STRIPES ONCE AGAIN
COnviCtS Beinq Captured
Right Along.
TWO OTHERS FOUND THURSDAY
OF Nineteen Who Escaped Recently
Eight Are Back in the Chain
Gang with Years of Time
Added.
TWO OTHERS FOUND THURSDAY

Nearly half the number of negro
convicts, who at divers times recently
jumped the changing here and escap-
ed, have been recaptured and are back
in irons once more with several years
of time added to their original sem
fences.
OF nineteen thus escaping, eight
have been captured already.
1t cost the county sum of money to
thus hunt down the zebras and pay re-
wards, but their labor is probably well
worth it.
Zebra number 8was gigged yesterday
in Savannah. This was Press Harris,
precious bundle of midnight, and the
reward of 500 offered for his hide and
bones goes to his captor. This makes
two convicts caught in Savannah.
Bill Frazier, black and tan, was
picked up there last week.
Gus Nelson, the zebra claimed by
the State as an escaped fifteen year
man, was caught Wednesday in Mont
gomery, Sheriff Bell going over al once
after him.
Sumter county wants Nelson ais },
and is holding him.
The eight striped zebras thus put
| back in the pen are Tom Adams. an old
offender; George Harris, Bill Frazier,
Cleve Westbrook, Gene Wallace, Seab
Brown, Gus Nelson and Press Harris,
the two latter new arrivals.
Wallace is the twelve fingered freak
who has escaped three times from the
chaingang. And he may still add 9TH
er laurels to those so easily won al
ready.
But while there have been eight
'pick-ups" Sumter is still shy eleven
escaped zebras. The hunt for these
| will continue, and it is quite likely that
several of them viii be caught for the
500 reward offered by the county.
AS the county commissioners have
broken up the ''trusty" business and
possum hunting, escapes will be less
numerous hereafter, in all probability.

Obituary.

Eunlce A. Goodselt was born IN
Ontario county, New York, Feb. 20,
1880, and died at her home in Greel-
ey, Iowa, April 8, 1907, aged "
years, l month and IA days.
These few words mark the begin
ming and the end of life, but do
not tell the story Of more than three
score years and ten Of service.
When the deceased was three
years Of age, her parents moved to
Geauga county, Ohio, where her
girlhood days were spent, and whe,e
she blossomed into. young woman
hood. In this vicinity she attended
a seminary, and after the compile
ton of her education, became a
teacher and followed that profession
until her heart and hand were won
by him with whom, as true help
er, she fought life's battle SO we'll
for more than half century.
May II, 1853, the deceased was
united in marriage to Ashley A.
Strong, who lonely and sad mourns
her loss, but not as those without
hope. In September of that year,
the young husband and wife started
for the place that was to be their
home for SO many years, Delaware
county, Iowa.
Rich in nothing but hope and
love, Mrs. Strong faithfully toiled
in the establishment of the home
which was ever to her the brightest
spot on earth.
God blessed the home thus pre-.
pared with four daughters, but saw
fit to take one home to himself il
infancy, which strangely seemed to
be in the mother mind during hel
last illness, for she often spoke Of
her babe, and then would say, as
she remembered the grand daughter
who had been reared in her home
well, God is good, and I still have
four daughters"
During her lastillness Mrs. Strong
was always cheerful, even happy
The Christ who had been hers thrc
life was still hers in death. Ever
when sickness prevented clear ar
ticulation of speech, when the daugh
ters would sing for her the song
she loved so we'll, with an expires
sion Of peace and. contentment upol
her countenance she would murmu
the air softly to herself.

In Memorlam.

On Wednesday afternoon, April
3. 1907, the sweet brave spirit Of
Charlotte Mae Davis passed to its
Heavenly home, joining the dear
mother who had already gone be-
fore. Covered with bright blossoms,
emblems Of her life, her body was
laid to rest in the cemetery at
Strawberry Point on the afternoon
Of April 5.
Charlotte was the daughter Of
Joseph and Margaret Davis, and
was born on the old homestead in
Richland township, April 2S, 1875
and spent her early girlhood days
here. At sixteen she began her life
work, that of teaching. By unlirine
devotion and earnest effort she made
of this success. In June, 1897
Charlotte completed the teachers
course at the Iowa State Normal, re.
ceiving the degree of M. Di, and
then again taught, until the pas,
year, when her health became TO-
frail for further work.
During the past winter she spcn,
couple of months in Albuquerque
N. NJ, hoping so earnestly that q
mild climate might prove beneficial
but the trial was unsatisfactory, and
the remainder OF her patient life was
spent in her home, tenderly cared
for by those she loved so well.
During her long trying illness
Charlotte was ever patient, evel
cheerful, ever brave, striving sc
