The Centry-Lake Providence, La. December 9, 1904
 
       With drawn Revolvers the Highwaymen Commanded the Spondulies Forthwith

  Mr. John Cassell, an attache of the A.G. Cassell Estate Drug firm of 
Vicksburg, Miss., while returning one night last week to Delhi from Floyd, 
after a collecting trip, was hold up and robbed about five miles from Delhi.
  Mr. Cassell was not armed and when he was suddenly halted by two men with 
drawn revolvers and ordered to "climb down out of that" there was nothing else 
to do but submit.  The robbers then proceeded to rifle his pockets, securing 
about $128.  Fortunately he had placed several hundred dollars in a satchel, 
and this which he left in the buggy concealed under the lap robe during the 
hold-up, was over looked by the robbers.
  The men were not masked and Mr. Cassoll distinguished that they were white, 
though the darkness and overhanging shrubbry rendered recognition impossible.
  Such occurrences were formerly quite frequent along this road, but of late 
years the reformation of the inhabitants has not been compete, and this 
unfortnate incident will, doubtless, serve as a warning in the future to all 
travlers on this road to be prepared for such eventualies.


           Corner Stone Laying Postponed

  The ceremonies of laying the corner stone of the new Methodist Church, which 
was suppose to taken place last Sunday afternoon, have bee postponed to some 
future date, not yet named.  Dr. Murrah, who was to have assisted Pecan Grove 
Lodge, No. 222, A.F. & A.M., in laying the corner stone, was in the city on 
that day, but the exdtremely inclement weather rendered the carrying out of 
the proposed program impracticable. It will be gratifying to the menbers of 
the Methodist congregation and other interested citizens to return  to assist 
in the ceremonies on any future day that may be appointed.
