MRS, JANE LEWIS RESTS
AFTER PROTRACTED ILLNESS
Esteemed Woman Has Gone to Her
Reward After Much Suffering

Mrs. Jane Lewis, the wife of Major
A. Lewis, died at her home on Sixth
avenue Wednesday after a long ILL
ness from complicated diseases.
During her long period of suffer
ing Mrs. Lewis bore her affection
with the fortitude and patience of a
true Christian, and death came to her
so gently and peaceably that those
watching at her bedside scarcely
knew when the spirit winged its
flight.
Prior to her marriage to Major
Lewis the deceased was Miss Jane
Pruitt of Shellman, and was from one
of the prominent families in this sec
ton.
The remains were inferred at
Shellman Thursday, Rev. j. A. Ivey
officiating. Many relatives and friends
will mourn her loss, and to these and
the bereaved husband sincere sympa-
thy is extended.

NEGRO SHOOTS ANOTHER
JESSE WILSON PUT BULLET IN
JAMES ROBERTS ARM.
Row Grew Out of Wilson'S jealousy

Wilson Is in Jail.

Row Grew Out of Wilson'S Jealousy
of Roberts Attentions to His Wife.
Wilson Is in Jail.
Jesse Wilson shot James Roberts,
another negro, through the right arm
Saturday night with a 3S-caliber pis-
toll
The difficulty grew out of the jeal-
ousy of Wilson over the attentions
of Roberts to his wife.
Wilson and his wife had been sep
arated for several weeks, and have
been living apart. Wilson went to
the home of his wife Saturday night
and found Roberts there talking to
her and emptied his pistol at him.
All the bullets went wild except one,
which struck Roberts in the right
arm.
Chief of Police Peddy and Police
man Hill were called to the scene by
the shooting, but Wilson had left.
The officers knowing that Wilson was
the janitor of the City National Bank,
and suspecting that he had used the
banks pistol and would return to put
the weapon in it's accustomed place,
hastened to the bank and reached the
rear door just as Wilson was in the
act Of leaving through it.
Wilson was arraigned before May
or Bell yesterday morning, and was
fined $51 or so days on the streets.
He will serve his sentence, and after
completing it will be delivered to the
county authorities.

AN INSPECTOR INVESTIGATED
PROPOSED CONSOLIDATION.

Route Changes in Terrell.

Route Changes in Terrell.
MIR. o. G. Cole, postotfice inspector
in charge of this territory of the
state, was in Dawson Thursday and
Friday for the purpose of investigat-
ing the consolidation of the rural
routes in Terrell county and merg-
ing them into fifty-mile routes.
He drove over the proposed routes
D and E, which were ordered to serve
the territory now served by route
No. 4 from Dawson, and the three
routes from BronWood that were or
dered established on August End, but
were held up at the request of Con-
gresham Crisp until an investigation
could me made.
Inspector Cole did not make known
what his report to the postOffice de-
partment would be, but strongly init
mated that he believed the 50-mile
routes in Terrell county were both
feasible and practical and could be
satisfactorily Travelled by automobile,
and it is the presumption that he
will recommend that the new routes
D and E go into operation on Sep
TENDER list, and that routes A, B and
C, which were started August End,
be continued.
Inspector Cole did not go over
routes A, B and C, the roads of which
are said to be in worse shape than
the roads covered by D and E.
