POST OFFICE THIEF
CAUGHT FRIDAY.
ALBERT JONES, A NEGRO BOY, IS ar
RESTED FOR PILFERING POST OFFICE
BOXES.
A FEDERAL COURT CASE.

For the past several months
Mr.. +. B. Divelbiss, a prominent
business man Of this city has been
missing mail from his postoffice
box, which contained money or
ders, stamps, etc.
Mr.. Divelbiss notified Post
master Wood in regard to having
failed to receive a large number
of valuables through mail, and
Mr.. Woods had the matter looked
into, having sent tracers to diff
erent out of town postofices; but
no results being received, it was
decided that the matter would be
further looked into, and on Fri
day Postmaster Woods set a
trap by marking every letter adj
dressed to Mr.. Divelbliss so as
to catch the thief.
About four O'Clock Friday af-
ternoon Postmaster Wood and
Assistant Postmaster Patterson,
caught sight Of negro
boy named Albert Jones, who
formerly worked for Divelbiss
and consequently knew the COM
bination which he used to his
own advantage, going into this
box. He took out several letters
and after asserting and taking
those he thought would be Of
value to him he placed the rest
back in the postoffice and pro-
ceeded down Nam street, fol-
lowed by Mr.. Patterson, who
later demanded him to march
back to the office, where he kept
him until put under arrest by
chief of police Munger.
Albert claims t h a t Robert
Lovely, another negro boy, was
at the back of the stealing. They
were both locked up and turned
over yesterday morning to JUS
tice Of the Peace Beverly Mat
thews until Monday when they
will be taken to Aberdeen where
they will be tried before Federal
Court.

FALSE RUMORS
ABOUT COURT HOUSE.
UPON INVESTIGATION FROM SUPERVISOR
RUN0RS ARE FALSE.

1t was rumored on the streets
Of Columbus yesterday that the
Court House in this city had been
condemned. It was found upon
investigation from one of the
leading members of the Board
of Supervisors that architect w.
@. Weston of Bi mingham, had
made a close examination of the
building and found that an en-
tire partition on the west side
needed to be rebuilt. At a meet
ing of the Supervi- ors tomorrow
close inspection of this build
ing will be made and reported.

PROSPECTS BRIGHT
FOR COLUMBUS
Ruh0RED THAT NEW COMPRESS WILL
BE BUILT IN NORTH
COLUMBUS.
REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS

From the present outlook the
prospects for business in COlum-
bus are bright. It is rumored
that another up-to-date COM
press of seventy-five thousand
dollars capital stock is about
assured, and will probably be
located on North Highlands west
of the property of Mr.. George
Sherman. This will doubtless
mean a great deal to this city.
This will be the means of running
cotton receipts up to seventy
five or eighty thousand bales of
cotton Columbus has never
reached out for cotton as she
should, and is en- tiled to a bet
ter CHASING as a cotton market.
Another indication for better
times is that real estate has been
active the past few weeks
ana there seems TO De an un-
der current of good feeling
among the real estate men
The lots on the East side of the
Bradford House square were sold; !;
the Jacobs property near the
Bell Lumber Company was sold
to James Keaton; the Benoit
tract on the Luxapalila creek
adjoining the Marx land was
sold to L. Marx; and Mrs.
Charles Gamer Findley sold two
lots on College street to c. F.
Sherrod, which indicates that.
there is something ahead by the
character of the buyers.
