Henry Maddox - Captured

Sheriff Gwyn made a trip to Jackson last week and returned with a boy by the name of Henry Maddox, who had been captured by Sheriff Beauchamp in pursuance of instructions form the sheriff of Pike County.   The Negro has been indicted for a murderous assault made on Mr. W. T. Lyles, of this place, more than two years ago at a syrup mill.   When Pike County's sheriff gets squarely after a culprit he should make a motto of the words of Jefferson when he said, "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty."
