In the graveyard softly sleeping,
Where the trees gently wave,

But was God who called her home
AS we bowed our heads in prayer and said,
Thy will o, God be done.

Three Cottages Burned.

A little after two O'Clock on Wednes-

OF Sam Bradshaw, George Malloy and
man named Wilson, all colored. The
houses were all on South Tenth street
near the A. c. l.. track. The fire origi
mated in the Bradshaw house where the
occupants were ironing, and a defective
flue is given as the most likely cause.

west soon communicated the flames TO
the other two which closely adjoined.
There was considerable delay in
sounding the alarm; telephone commu,

was made two of the houses were
doomed.
The fire company confined the fire
10 the three grouped houses, however,
in face of the wind which sent sparks
scurrying 10 the east and threatening
other houses.
The houses were all good, one being
new. The loss will easily reach three

Florahome Drainage.

The Florahome drainage commission
asked MIR. Oldiicld OF The Putnam Con
Struclion and Engineering Company 10
look over the drainage district and
make recommendations as 10 the needs
OF the work-wheTe 10 begin.
Nh Oldlield has gone into the matter
carefully and has submitted quite an ex-
haustive report, covering the whole sub
ject:
Mir. Oldiield says that approximately
there are IL miles OF ditch and laterals
in the district; that west of the district
is another district from which large
volumes OF wafer are drained into the
Florahome system; 10 make the system
OF drainage a success it is necessary that
the entire length OF the main canal be
deepened three feet; that the main ditch
should be cleaned out, the slopes
throughout the entire length rebuilt, and
that this would neceSsitale about 10000
yards OF excavation, also much excaya.
ton in the laieralS He recommends a
floating dredge be placed in the canal as
the cheapest and most practical method
of doing the work
at has been suggested TO the board, !"
goes on the report, THAT the mouth OF
the canal should be eXCavaled, and
the hump, or hog back as il is known
locally, should be removed Immediately
| would advise the board that il would
moi be wise 10 undertake this work al
The present time, but that this part OF
the work should be left until more
money can be obtaiAed TO complete the
project"
Mir. OIdiield strongly advises the
board 10 employ an engineer 10 prepare
Specifications for the clearance of all
distractions throughout the entire syS-
TEN and then advertise for bids for the
work 10 be done under his Supervis-
ion; he also advises that sufficient mon
ey be appropriated for the engineers to
prepare plans, proiileS aud estimates OF
all the work necessary 10 complete the
drainage work OF Florahome system.
That the Stale drainage engineer is 10
look over and advise on the Florahome
system is obvious from the following
letter from the Commissioner OF Agri.
culture to Mr.. \. W. Tucker:

A Bunch of Tigers.

Deputy Sheriff Pete Hagan tracked a
bunch OF tigers to their lair last week.
The whole bunch was blind. Their
blindness had made them bold.
The lair was at the corner of Lemon
and Eighth streets in a barber shop and
soft drink" dispenSary kept by Cyrus
Henderson.
Cyrus was the boss tiger; then there
was his sister in-law, Ella Lagree, "of a
nervous temperament" who was his
chief assistant, and Alvin Jones, chief
pimp. All three were arrested. There
was booze" in plenty on the premises.
In Elias bedroom a hole had been cut
in the floor which was covered by a
trap door or lid; over this lid mat was
spread and table stood on the mat. In
the hole covered by the lid were a large
number OF pint bottles OF Echo Springs
whisky. In the yard, buried was
barrel OF the same stuff. Echo Springs
empty bottles were all over the yard,
and under the porch.
Henderson is one OF those smooth,
slick colored individuals who has long
been suspected OF carrying on blind
tiger business, but who has always felt
that his cunning was sufficient 10 make
his being caught practically impossible.
He was tried on Tuesday before Judge
Coke, but the jury failed 10 agree, all
but one however being for conviction.
He had second trial on Wednesday.
Judge Walton and G. w. BaSSeit prose.
cuied and ]. c. Calhoun represented the
defendant. The case was subbornly
fought, but the jury found Henderson
guilty
On Thursday morning Judge Coke
called Henderson before the bar for
sentence. Ii was deservedly severe
one-S30O fine, and costs amounting TO
$41, and six months at hard labor in The
county Jail. AS Putnam county pris-
oners are leased out for labor, Header.
son will get the labor.
Judge Coke also took occasion 10 say
that all tigers convicted in his court
hereafter would be given Jail sentence
with their fine.
Ella Lagree's trial followed. Ella
plead guilty 10 the same offenSe last
March and was fined. That she is
guilty this time there can be little il any
doubt. She was held 10 the circuit
court.
Alvin Jones turned states evidence
and testified against his former employer
The case against him was nolle prossd.
HenderSon'S place has long been con.
sidered one OF the worst tigers in the
city, and his final downfall is regarded
as good piece of work on the part OF
the SheriffS office, in which special
