Car Robbers CAUGHT,

For about a year robberies from
freight cars in this vicinity have beer
going on but the railroad officers here.
tofore have been unable either to catch
the thieves n accurately locate the
leak. Detective Ames of the M. & o.
raildrsad police finally located the
trouble as being between Macon and
Shuqualak, after q month or more of
hard and shrewd detective work, which
eliminated in the arrest Thursday. bv
Mr.. J. T. Mcclure, of John Poe, Doc
Harris as principals and Fred Riddle
and Pate Dill, accessors, all living on
Mr.. Anderson's place. At the prelimi-
nary trial held before Justice Burrage,
the first two were placed under $500
bond and the latter $500.
1t was a important catch for the
railroad as as hundreds of dollars worth
of merchandise has been stolen. The
thieves plan vas to come to Macon and
at night get into a car and throw the
goods out at the rock cut about three
miles north of Shuqualak. Boxes of
shoes, shirts, hats, all kinds of mer-
chandise, as well as groceries were
thrown out and carried off. Detective
Ames and Mr.. Mcclure are both to be
congratulated on breaking up the gang.
1t is said that the negroes have made
a full confession. The last two men
toned made bond; the others are in
Jail.

IL UACA8O1 Va G1B89 AA&4AG 6AA1A4s
After a short and painful ill-
ness, which she bore with Chris
tan fortitude, and after every
thing that tender, loving hands
and patient physicians could do
to save her, God in his mercy
knew best, and on the evening Of
January 26, 1910, she fell asleep
in Jesus.
Lizzie was a consecrated Chris
tan, giving her life to God when
but a girl. She was conscious
up to within a few hours of her
death, and her previous pure,
unselfish life enabled her to
meet the inevitable with perfect
trust and resignation.
We mourn not for her ms one loss,
Only gone on before,
To welcome us there on that beauti-
full shore,
Oh! how we miss her sweet
face, gentle words and loving
smiles. She was a devoted
daughter and sister, and never
tired of making home and all
around her happy.
The writer knew her from
childhood, as an affectionate,
loving girl ever ready to lend a
helping hand to any one in trou-
BILE or distress,
She was called home in the
Springtime of life, and it is with
sad hearts and tear-dimmed
eyes we say, Gods will be done,
He doeth all things we'll.
Those, besides a host of friends
that are left to mourn her loss
are Mr. and Mrs. Lake Eiland,
her patient and loving father
and mother; her three sisters,
Mrs. Fannie Smith, Mrs. Glenn
Trimble, Miss Maggie Eiland,
her three brothers, Joe, Virgil
and Ovid Eiland.
Sorrow not for dearest Lizzie.
Do not wish her back again,
In this cruel world of sorrow,
In this world of sin and pain.
Angels came and bore her upward,
To that land so fair and bright,
To that land where sickness comes
not,
Where there is no death nor night.
She in Heaven will be waiting,
AS the days and years unfold,
There to bid her loved Ones welcome.
Welcome through the Gates of Gold

Something Rotten

That there IS something rotten in he territory of Alaska is the opinion ez- pressed by the Omaha World Herald The World Herald says ''rhe slimy trail of that rottsnness covers all the thousands of miles that lie between the rich coal fields of Alaska and the in- terior department st Washington. Every few days there is fresh deVel- opment going to show that Congress man Hitcheock's original resolution, calling for a congressional myestiga- tion or the interior departments ad- miuistration of Alaskan affairs, went straight tO.tSe mark. AnG the nearer she congressional committee comes to eonftning it's inGuFies to what has been happening in Alaska, and what $ now happening there, the better it wiN serve the purpose for which it was created. The offer made in wyiting by John h Ballaine to- the senate committee on territories is absolutely astounding both in what it diselosss and the pos abilities it suggests.
