LITTLE GIRL
IS OUTRAGED
Negro Assaults Little Eight-year-
Old Georgia Baird Sunday
Afternoon.

This whole community was arous-
ed Sunday night when it was learned
that Wallace Smothers, negro man,
had assaulted little Georgia Baird,
the eight-year-old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. S. X. Baird near Thompson
Station, Just over the Montgomery
county line in Clark county. The
assault was made about five o'clock
in the afternoon but officers here
were not notified until nearly eight
o'clock. Several automobiles were
chartered by officers and friends Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Baird and the entire
end Of that part Of the country
searched and had the man been found
no jury would have had to pass on
his case. The officers and several
posses searched until Monday MORN
ing and a strict lookout is still being
maintained.
The child, according to her story
and that of her parents, was play
ing in deserted cabin across the
road from the Baird home with Van
Ietta Landers, four-year-old play
mate, when the negro slipped in
from the rear, grasped the Baird
child by the throat to choke off he1
screams, and, the child and he,
parents assert, accomplished his
purpose before he was frightened
away by the screams of the four
year-old girl. Her screams, wher
she saw the negro throttle her com.
panion, aroused the father ant
mother Of the other child, and the,
ran to her assistance. Their ap
proach, it is said, together with tn
screams Of the child, alarmed tn
assailant who eluded them and es
capped into the fields.
The country for miles around wa
notified at once, and went in searcl
of him, and during much Of tn
night were scouting the hills an
woodlands for any traces Of tn
negro. Smothers, it is said, is be
tween As and so years of age.
| The child is critically ill frol
her narrowing experience and over
wrought nerves, but the physician
do not believe she is fatally in
jured.
Later-The negro was capture
Tuesday morning on the farm Q
Mr.. Lee Bush only short distane

Farm Auction Adveutising.

Old Bill Beels of the Hopkinton
Leader says that in five years there
won't be no SIGH animal as the auc-
tion bill. Bill says that more and
more the farmers are seeing the SUI
periority Of newspaper advertising
and realize that the hand bill is read
only by the scattering few. We have
an idea that William is correct, says
the Manchester Press. In severe
weather nobody will stop to read a
posted bill, but the advertisement in
the home paper can be read at leis-
ure by warm fire, with the aid OF
cloth slippers and a pipeful of strip
pings. Twenty years ago farm
auction advertisement larger than a
reader was curiosity. Today it
blossoms out in quarter and half
pages, and is as common as a pink
wart on a shoat,
