NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, March 22, 1907 LOCAL News Last week Bob Hammett, a well known colored sport, was bound over in the sum of $200. for gambling. Upon the prisoner agreeing to work for him, Mr. J.B. Ashley of the fourth district, stood for his appearance at court and carried him out to his farm. Monday morning, Bob skipped out. Sheriff Brewster was notified who went out with Capt. Nash's dogs and tried to get track of the fugitive, but the dogs did not pick up the trail quick enough to suit the Sheriff and he sent them back to camp. He then started out on his own and by 2 o'clock in the afternoon had Bob in jail. Bob is there yet. ______ Notice has been received of the death and of the interment of Mrs. John Thomas Glover, of Birmingham, who has many relatives and friends in Atlanta and throughout Georgia. Mrs. Glover was formerly Miss Jennie Arnall of Senoia, GA. For some time an invalid, she was carried to Philadelphia and it was while waiting for an operation at the University of Pennsylvania hospital that she suddenly grew worse and died. The body was immediately sent to Birmingham. A number of Atlanta relatives and friends accompanied it to Birmingham and attended the funeral services there. Mrs. Glover leaves a husband and two children. Mr. Glover is a prominent member of the Alabama Legislature. Atlanta Constitution. ______ Probably none of our readers know that the father of "Uncle" Duke Cole erected the first merchant mill built in Georgia. Although this was nearly ninety years ago, the old mill is yet standing, being located in Newton County some six or eight miles from Covington. It is still known as Cole's Mill, and has never shut down during all the years that have intervened except for the usual repairs incident to the operation of a mill of this character. When Uncle Duke's parents moved from Newton County he was only 8 years of age and he has never gone back even for a short visit. Now, after a lapse of eighty years, he has decided that he would like to see the old mill again and in a week or so he and his nephew Mr. R.D. Cole Jr., will go over to Newton county and spend several days amid the scenes where his early boyhood was spent. He is looking foward to the trip with the eagerness of a boy and we trust he will find other old landmarks besides the mill to remind him of the halycon days of his childhood. ____ DEATH OF MRS. W. B. ORR After many weary months of affliction Mrs. W.B. Orr breathed her last on Sunday afternoon and the gentle spirit, which had known so much of sorrow and suffering on earth, was translated to the realms of eternal peace. She had been ill for more than a year, being held the greater part of the time in the thrall of helpless invalidism. That death was finally welcomed as a sweet release; none who witnessed her sufferings from day to day will doubt. While the sad event brought sorow and grief to her loved ones, it has been believed for some time that such a culmination was inevitable and consequently they were in a measure prepared for it. She was a good woman, beloved by all who knew her and her death is deeply deplored in the community. Her husband and children have the sympathies of everyone in their bereavement. The funeral took place Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock from the First Baptist Church, services being conducted by her pastor, Dr. G.A. Nunnally.
