WEEK OF CARNIVAL
ENDED LAST NIGHT

Last night the weeks entertainment
of the Johnny Jones Carnival Com
pany came to an end Hundreds OF
sightseers thronged the grounds and
enjoyed the amusements offered. Con-
fetti throwing was indulged in, and
the young people had much fun out
of the evening. The various amuse-
ments were running at full blast, cut
rates being made to induce the larg-
est attendance possible. The bark
ers" kept the air resonant with the
merits of the different shows. At a
late hour the last of the merrymak-
ers departed and preparations for q
move began.
Good crowds visited the grounds
every day and evening of the stay
here. The cool weather interfered
seriously, but this drawback consid-
cred. the attendance was fully as
large as expected. One enjoyable
free feature of the show was the two
daily performances by the Italian
band on the streets. The playing o.
the band was excellent, and was en-
loved by many. The best attraction
on the ground was easily the trained
lion and tiger show presided over by
Capt. Curly Wilson.

Grand Army of HObOeS in
AmeriCuS.

The vanguard of the grand army of
professional tramps, hoboes and beg
gars has reached Americus, and many
have done excellent business here for
a day and passed on to give the city
a good name for others to work. Quite
a number of the old professionals
got i'll by the early trains yesterday
and worked" the street
corners to a finish. Nineteen out of
twenty of these professional vaga-
bonds from the slums of the north are
undeserving, and should really be
put to work as vagrants rather than
helped as mendicants. Americus has
the reputation of tolerating them, and
to see two or three drop from pas
senger train and strike a brisk sprint
for the business corners evidences the
fact that they know where they are
at" and are on to the job

BOYS SENTENCED TO
GO TO CHURCH 25 SUNDAYS

New York, Dec. 5.-For excessive
iubilation over victory at football'a
company of boys at Montclare, Pa,
has been sentenced to 25 Sundays at
Church This punishment is unusual.
In the present state of church con-
duct it cannot be judged cruel The
boys might have lived and suffered
in, such a period as that of the Rev.
Thomas Boston, who is ON record as
having preached one sermon arrang-
ed under Sc heads and four others
of hardly less generous proportions.
Such pulpit performances as these
brought out the necessity for the
long poles with which the oldtime
wardens gave slumbering members
of flocks awakening taps on nodding
heads The tradition of them may
have been one of the leaders to
Kaiser Wilhelm's orders to his court
chaplains that their sermons should
be limited to ten minutes.

criminal cases where a number were
cleared from the docket and the
chaingang recruited to a considerable
extent. One murder case wherein the
man behind the gun flew out of the
Jail door and escaped, and one other
in which a mistrial resulted, were OF
necessity carried over for the term,
as were two or three cases against
white men, and of general interest. A
bunch of misdemeanor cases were

MITCHELL
CONVICTED
Let Off With
One Year on
Chaingang
Remarkable Case Which Has
Stirred ThOmaSviIIe.

THONASVILLE, GA, Dec. s.
(SpeciaD H. Mitchell. who has
been on trial in this city for the past
few days on a charge of abduction
and assault and battery, was this af-
ternoon found guilty of assault and
battery, and sentenced to a year on the
chaingahg
The jury was out twenty-four
hours. The prosecutor was Miss
Lucille Linton, a prominent resi-
dent of Thomasville. 1t seems to be
the general opinion of those who
have been attending the trial that
the verdict was fully justified, and
the sentence is regarded as a light
one.
The alleged offense occurred on
the night of September Gath. On the
evening before man identified as
Mitchell sent a telegram from Mou1-
trie to Miss Linton, stating that her
brother-in-law, Green, was coming
to Thomasville and to prepare to
see him alone. It was stated by the
sender Of the message that a man
on the train had requested him to
send it,
The telegram arrived all right On
the following evening man dis
guised as a negro woman drove to
the home of Miss Linton, where she
lived alone, and delivered a note,
signed by Mrs. Ritchey stating that
Mr.. Green had started to drive from
Coolidge to Thomasville, but had
been thrown from his buggy and was
at the home of Mrs. Ritchey in an
injured condition. 1t was asked that
Miss Linton accompany the bearer of
the note. With some hesitancy Miss
Linton complied, taking with her .
pistol as a protection against others,
as the night was dark, not. recogniz-
ing the fact that her companion was
disguised
After driving around aimlessly for
time, the driver, aroused the sus-
picions of Miss Linton, who pointed
the pistol at her companion He
threw the lap robe over her head,
wrestling the pistol away, AS soon
as the buggy got near a house, Miss
Linton screamed, and man came to
her rescue. Her companion fled The
disguise was found in a well near a
deserted house belonging to Mitchell
At the trial the articles were identi-
fed as having been bought by Nit
chell at various stores.
On the witness stand Miss Linton
confessed to forty years, while Nit
chelI is considerably beyond fifty
and has a wife and family She is
distantly related to Mitchell and the
families had always been on friendly
terms The trial and the whole case
has been the biggest sensation which
has ever possessed.

ADJU1ANT is GOING TO
LOOK INTO AFFAIRS
Condition of Light Infantry
Company [.

A letter received IN Americus yes
terday from Adjutant General Scott,
of the State Military Department,
would indicate that the condition of
the Light Infantry had been reported
to him as none the best The letter
went into details, and suggested rem
edies for the alleged disaffection
among members of the company
which it is said has existed for some
time. Company L is one of the old
est military organizations in southern
Georgia and can be made one of the
best, and citizens of Americus and
the county as well are anxious to see
it placed upon a high plane, with
harmony and strictest military disci-
pline prevailing.
