ANOTHER ONE LANDED.
By Offering Reward Another Bicycle
Thief is Captured.
From The Daily Item January 18th.
Jake W. Singleton, not the well
known colored man employed at. Chi?
na's drug store, was arrested yester?
day for larceny of a bicycle. At the
preliminary hearing before Magistrate
Harby yesterday afternoon the de?
fendant was sent to jail to await trial
at the next term of the circuit court.
The facts in the c?se are about as
follows: On Monday night, the 9th
inst., Mr. H. T. Edens left his bicycle
on the piazza of his house on "Wash?
ington street while he was at tea, and
while in the dining room the wheel
disappeared. Mr. Edens promptly noti?
fied the police and at the same time
offered a reward of $5.00 for the ar?
rest of the thief with evidnce to con?
vict. Early Tuesday morning, the bi?
cycle was seen in the possession of
Jake Singleton, and w^hen Mr. Edens
was acquainted with this fact, he im?
mediately sent word to the defendant
that the bicycle was his property, and
demanded its return. As the negro
still held the wheel officers visited his
house twice on Wednesday to recov?
er its possession, but were unable to
find him at home. He brought the bi?
cycle to town Friday nlght^and turned
it over to Mr. Edens. The arrest fol?
lowed, the usual plea of finding the
wheel was interposed, and after hear?
ing the evidence, Magistrate Harby
hound the defendant over to await
trial in the upper court.
NEW PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
Decided at Meeting of Men of Congre?
gation to Begin Work When $12,
000 are in Hand.
From The Daily Item January 18th.
The male members of the Presby?
terian congregation met last night for
the purpose of hearing the report of
the committee that has charge of the
new 'church building fund and to dis?
cuss ways and means for raising the
balance of the money required for the
new church.
. The treasurer reported. that' -the
building fund now amounted to $8,80v
cash in hand.
During the past year the ladies of
the church raised $2,000 for the build?
ing fund.
The members present last night
subscribed $2,000 to be paid before
January 1st, 1906. A committee was
appointed to call on the members not
present and obtain subscriptions from
them, and it is expected that this
committee will secure at least $500 in
subscriptions to be paid this year.
After a full and free discussion
of the matter it was decided that
it would not be wise or good business
policy to begin work on the new
church with the funds now in hand,
and it was agreed that the work
should not be undertaken until at
l?ast $12,000 shall have been raised
and paid into the building fund. It is
expected that this amount will be
made up during the current year and
that work on the new church will be
started early in 1906.

LA GRIPPE-PNEUMONIA
So many people who have apparently recovered from an attack of La Grippe are stricken
with Pneumonia. This is due to the fact that the Bronchial Tubes and Lungs are left weakened
and unable to resist disease.
not only cures La Grippe Coughs, and prevent? Pneumonia; but strengthens the Lungs so they
will not be susceptible to the development of serious lung troubles. Do not take chances with
some unknown preparation that may contain some harmful drug when FOLEY'S HONEY AND
TAR costs you no more and is safe and sure. Contains ho opiates.
I had a bad case of La Grippe about ten years ago which left my Lungs G. VACHER, 157 Osgood St, Chicago, says: "My wife had s very
so weak that I have been troubled more or less every winter since until I used severe case of La Grippe, and it left her with a very bad cough. She tried
FOLEY'S HONEY AND TAR, which cured me completely and my Lungs z bottle of FOLEY'S HONEY AND TAR and it gave immediate relief."
