ATLANTA WOMAN ROBBED.
Left Lying Unconscious in an Alley
Negro Escapes.

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 7.-About the
boldest and most daring highway rob-
berry Atlanta has had in some time
occurred this morning at o'clock,
when negro held up Mrs. Jessie
Latham, choked her into insensibili-
ty, took her purse and made his es-
cape.
For some years Mrs. Latham, who
is so years of age, has been going to
a corner grocery near her home at
6 o'clock every morning. The fact
that she usually had a considerable
sum of money in her purse must have
become known in the community or
have been observed by some negro in
the store while she was making pur-
chases.
This morning she started to the
store as usual. No one else was on
the street at that hour. Half way
between her house and the store is
an alley, with high board fences on
either side. AS she reached this al
ley a negro jumped out and seized
her by the throat She screamed
and the negro begon choking her, at
the same time trying to secure her
purse.
Mrs. Latham fought him as long
as she had strength, but age and the
fact that her breath was cut off
quickly caused her to become uncon-
scious. AS she fell to the walk limp,
the negro took the purse, contain
ing between $40 and $50, and dis
appeared up the alley.
AS they struggled in the alley
pedestrian passed, but the footpad
held his victim helpless. Police were
soon on the scene but the negro had
vanished

Ehrhardt Etchings.

Ehrhardt, November 10.-Sunday

was high and had a sharp touch of
snow to ones feelings in it. Ere was
not turned down as bad feeler, but
its warm glare rather drew the house
hold to it's side with a feeling that
even a judge said it was good to be
there.
A certain young man in town has
been seemingly negligent in his at
tentions to his best girl. Upon call
ing he was not met with usual smile
and extended hand for a shake and
pair of lips showing that she did not
object to a kiss as soon as door was
closed, but she commenced to chide
and abuse him for his neglect. He
then went to work with his mind to
get everything in shape for business
again. So told her that he had been
sick with oiptheria and that his doc
tor told him to stay in. The young
lady did not see the connection in
the disease and advice, so she press
ed him further. Then he said to her
that the doctors advice to him
amounted to the same, the doctor
said that the young man should ab-
stain from all sweets. All was as
loving as ever, the explanation was
satisfying.
Had Steel lecture the other night
in Copeland's hall. Haven't heard
of much vibration about the lecture.
The temper of the Steel must have
been lacking.
Nothing doing in our town; only
sale notices posted. What's wrong?
Merchants, did you buy too much
goods or sales short, and money too
scarce to pay your bills? Something
rotten in Denmark or this would not
be the case. Everything can't fly
that has wings.
Our dispensary seems to be having
a hard time to open, the goods have
been in the house several days. 1t
is talked that the house will be rob-
bed if the authorities don't soon open
and sell the anxious buyers.

Grand Jury Presentment.

Tuesday afternoon the grand jury
finished the work before that body
and made the following final pre-
sentiment:
To His Honor George w.. Gage,
Judge presiding:
We the grand jurors beg leave to
make our final report and present
ment. We have passed on all bills
handed us by the solicitor and have
returned same to the court.
We have examined all the Offices
in the court house and the Jail and
find them neatly kept and in good
condition except the treasurer's which
is in need of an iron safe which we
recommended be bought at once.
The committee appointed at our
last meeting to visit the chain gang
report that the supervisor has pur-
chased new machinery, which was re-
commended by the grand jury, and
is equipped for better work in the
future. 1t is gratifying to the grand
jury to learn that the supervisor has
employed a more competent man to
supervise the work of the chain
gang, as we find the roads in the
county in bad condition.
We recommend that necessary
steps be taken to secure funds, If
necessary, by an extra levy, for the
Improvement of the roeds Of the
county.
We also recommend that the COM
mutation tax be expended in the
district from which it is collected.
1t is our further recommendation
that if an extra levy is secured that
each township have the privilege of
passing upon same, and that this
matter be taken in hand by the rep
resentatives to the general assembly
at once and that they take the nee
essary steps for the relief sought.
We have examined the books of
all the magistrates of the county ex-
cept one, and find all except that one
in good condition and neatly and le-
gally kept.
1t has been brought to our atten-
ton that all fines and monies COL
lected by one of the magistrates have
not been accounted for and turned
into the hands of the treasurer, and
recommend that this matter be look
ed into by the proper authority, and
that hereafter all magistrates be re-
quired to make monthly reports to
the proper officers, as required by
law, and all officials.
We thank the court for all courte-
sizes shown us and the cooperation
given us in the discharge of our du-
ties. H. G. CRuM,
Foreman.

Popular Travelling Salesman Passed
Away in Lakeland, Fla.

Bamberg, Nov. S.-The friends in
Bamberg and other parts Of South
Carolina of Mr.. and Mrs. J. D. O'Hern
will learn with sorrow of the death
Of Mr.. O'Hern, which occurred al
Lakeland, Fla. Mrs. O'Hern is the
only daughter of County Treasurer
and Mrs G. A. Jennings, of this city.
She was born and reared here. The
following from the Tampa Daily
Times shows the esteem in which Mr..
O'Hern was held:
J. D. O'Hern, one of the most pop
ular commercial salesmen in the
State of Florida, died last night at
his home in Lakeland, following a
paralytic stroke, with which he was
stricken last Thursday. Since then
he has been under the careful treat
ment of the best physicians in that
city, but was in such a condition that
nothing but death could relieve him.
Mr.. O'Hern was employed as a
salesman by Snow & Bryan, of this
city, and had been in their service
for the past eleven years, practically
ever since the business was started.
He had done wonders towards max
ing the now large. wholesale grocery
house one of the largest in the State.
He was considered to be one of the
best mixers that ever carried a sam
pie case in the State, and numbered
his friends among the thousands.
Mr.. O'Hern was born in St. Angus
tine forty-one years ago and has
made Florida his home all his life.
He was married, and besides heart
broken wife, leaves a bright young
son, six years of age, ]. D. O'Hern,
Jr
The body will be taken to St. Au-
gustine for interment tonight, and
out of respect for their. much respect
ed employee and friend, Snow & Bry-
an will be closed this afternoon at
o'clock, and the entire force will
leave on the 4:10 train for Lakeland
to pay their respects.
T. Ed. Bryan in speaking of Mr..
O'Hern this morning paid nice
tribute to his memory.
"Mr. O'Hern was a man whom
every one loved and respected and
had countless numbers of friends
who will keenly regret his death,
said he. HE had been in the service
of Snow & Bryan for the past eleven
years, and was the best man we have
ever had. Nothing can be said that
would be too good for him. He was
an honorable, upright gentleman. We
are going to close the store this after
noon at 8 O'Clock and the entire force
will go up to Lakeland to pay their
respects"
General regret was expressed
among the travelling men who knew
Mr.. O'Hern this morning. In every
case he was spoken of as one of the
most popular and honored men on
the road.

TO BUILD CONCRETE HOTBED
Concise Directions Given for Four
Sash Bed Which Can Be Ex-
tended to Any Length.

We referred recently to the con-
crete hotbeds now built by florists
and vegetable growers. The following
directions are given for a four-sash
bed, which of course could be extend
ed to any length desired. A standard
hotbed sash is three by six feet Lay
out the bed six feet eight inches wide
by 81 feet 10 inches long. The con-
crete walls are six inches thick. Dig
the foundation trenches two feet six
inches deep within the lines given
above Make forms Of one-inch lum-
her to carry the south (front) wall six
inches and the north (back) wall IA
inches above ground, says the Rural
New Yorker. Forms are not required
below ground level. The tops of the
end walls slope to the others. Before
filling the forms with concrete test
the dimensions Of the bed by means
of the sash. See that the sash lap
the forms two inches on all sides.
Mix the concrete mushy wet in the
proportion of one bag Of cement to
21a cubic feet of sand to five cubic
feet Of crushed rock, or one bag Of
cement to five cubic feet of bank-run
gravel Fill the forms without stop

.gether at the corners by laying in

bed to the concrete; or make grooves
in the top Of the concrete for counter
sinking the sash to the level of the
walls with an allowance of one-quar-
ter inch for clearance. This can be
done by temporarily imbedding in the
concrete wooden strips Of the neces-
sary dimensions. During this opera
tion, by means of blocks nailed to the
strips, make provision for the center
bars described below Remove the
strips as soon as the concrete stiffens.
Take down the forms after five days.
The extra 25s inches in length of the
bed Is allowance for the three center
bars between the sash. These sash
supports are Of dressed one-inch stuff,
shaped like a capital "T' turned up
side down. The length of the stem Of
the "T" is equal to the thickness of
the sash and the top is three inches
wide. Sufficient materials for the con-
crete will be supplied by IA bags of
cement, ~ cubic yards of sand and
32k cubic yards Of crushed rock; or
IA bags Of cement and 21R yards of
pit gravel at cost Of $40.

CARE NEEDED FOR HARNESS
Before Applying OIL Thoroughly Wash
and Free 1t From Sweat and
Dirt-Use Ivory Black.

First thoroughly wash the harness
to free it from sweat and dirt, Per.
haps the easiest way to accomplish
this is to take the harness to pieces
and soak it over night in strong SOAP
suds, having the water as warm as is
comfortable to hold the hand in when
the harness is first put in. If too hot
it will scald the leather
When taken out in the morning,
most of the dirt is gone, and a little
rubbing with coarse rag will remove
the spots that did not soak off.
Neatsfoot oil is, in the long run, the
cheapest oil for oiling leather of any
kind, and especially harness, as it is
exposed to the action of dirt, sweat
and very often is out in the rain
If the harness Is not very dry, a
half gallon of oil will be enough for
an ordinary set Of double harness,
though sometimes harness Is so dry
that a gallon would be none too
much. A nickers worth of ivory
black will give color and polish to
the leather If 1t be mixed we'll with
the oil before using. Be sure to get
ivory-black and not lamp black, as
the latter rubs off badly.
Have the oil warm, and as you take
the straps out of the water, run them
a few times through the oil, wipe off
with rag and hang up to dry If not
then soft enough. repeat the opera.
ton. Treat your harness in this way,
and 1t looks like new, and if it is
oiled about three times a year it will
outlast three or four sets that neJer

that five oilings equal a new har.
