We have received from Messrs. J. A.
Frazier A Co. a beautiful silver-plated
and glass butter dish, valued at 812,
which is donated as one of the prizes In
the Gift Enterprise, Messrs. F. A Co.
are leading hardware merchants who
are ever ready, with a liberal hand, to
aid any worthy object.
Dr. C. J. Moffett has donated for
same purpose one dozen boxes of his
celebrated Teethina. About fifty cou
ples have married in our town in the
past two months. We would suggest
to them to take a couple of tickets each
and draw for the Teethina, as it may be
a good thing to have in the house In
the future.
The Enquirer-Sun is never behind
in any race ami has given one year’s
subscription to the Daily. The party
drawing this prize will lie happy for
one year—Martin.
Several of our dry-goods men have
notified us that they will hand in their
contributions to-day or to-morrow.
On Tuesday, Mr. W. H. Chambers,
administrator, sold at public outcry the
plantations known as the Mill Tract and
Oswlcheo Bend plantation, the property
of James Wright, deceased. This
property contained 5,245 acres of land,
over three thousand of which are line
bottom river lunds.
The plantation was owned some fif
teen years ago by Hope A Co., of Am
sterdam, Holland, who placed Gen.
James Hamilton in charge of it at a
salary of $3,000 per year. It was after
wards sold to Major Wright for $140,000
—there being over three hundred slaves
on it at the time.
The bidding, wo are informed, was
not very animated. The bend place,
contained over four thousand acres, was
bid oft’ by Col. W. S. Shepherd, for
about $20,000; the mill tract, containing
one thousand acres, by Mr. Henry
Chambers for $3,000.
The terms were one-third cash, one-
third in twelve months and om>third
in two years, with interest.
On the bend place js one of the finest
country residences in this country ami
contains some fourteen rooms. This
property was considered one of the
most valuable pieces in tills section and
it is surprising that it brought no
more.
Cbrlatma*
Is nearly here, ami if you would make
your wife, children and sweethearts
happy, call on Jim Layfleld, who has
one of the largest and handsomest
stocks of Toys in the city.

when we tell you that they come in the
same category, since tlioy are a differ
ent species of tlio genus (so to speak,
you understand) pet with woman.
Homo ladies have pets in dress, while
others have them in live stock, and
that’s just what we are going to tell
you about, so please excuse us for
the seeming diversion. Well, the two-

The bride is a niece of Mr. Hauls and

Protection to Buiumla.
It has been suggested that our City
Council pass an ordinance for the pro
tection of these carnivorous birds when
they come into the city, the object be
ing not to allow them to be disturbed,
in order that they may become tame
and assist in carrying away tlie filth of
the city. This will do very well if the
city fathers will not allow people to ex
cuse their filth on tho plea of tame buz
zards. That is, “there are plenty tame
buzzards in tho city, and there is no
use of my trying to keep my lot clean.”
Buzzards are not apt to be very persis
tent in coming here no way, as there is
nothing to draw them. Consequently,
they are not needed. Go on with the
buzzard act.
The Marriage Baal*
We have never known marriages to
occur so rapidly as during tho present
season—we mean winter, of course.
We have chronicled on an average of
two a day, we’ll venture to say, for the
past thirty days. Judge Brooks, up to
Wednesday night, had issued twelve
marriage licenses, beginning last Mon
day. Five of these, however, were for
Oar Baaday aad CkrUtaaa* laaae.
. Our preparations for previous issues
have never been so elaborate as for
these two. Everybody expects some
thing remarkable, and so do we in the
line of advertising. Already about two
hundred dollars’ worth has been se
cured, and we expect still more, yea,
three times the amount. We will have
out an*extra number to send far and
wide outside of our circulation, beside
the reading matter will lie such as to
make everybody delighted after hav
ing perused it.
Our Christmas issue will be the size
of the “Sunday,” and both will l>e of
such value as to make all desire it as an
appetizer for breakfast. Wc are going
to reach the maximum of these two
issues. Just send in your advertise
ments and have them distributed or
disseminated among your customers,
and those who are not your customers.

A Neven-Year-Old Ulrl the Vletlua—He
Entires ller Awny While the Mother

Large.
Rumors have been floating around
for the last few days to the effect that a
seven-year-old girl had been raped,
We succeeded in getting pretty well
into the facts on yesterday, and give
them to our readers that the scoundrel
may be hunted down and dealt with :
On Monday evening a man, said to
be one Joe Crawford, aged about
nineteen years, while sauntering near
the factory boarding house, stopped
at one of the rooms and asked a little
daughter, Nannie, of Mrs. Margaret
Yancey, an employe in the E. A P.
Mills, to accompany him to the woods.
She told him that she did not care to go,
when he insisted, saying he would get
her some sweetgum. There was no
one at home but herself and a younger
sister, hor mother being at work in the
factory. She was beguiled by this
scoundrel to the woods—little dream
ing of the fate that awaited her. The
neighbors would have interfered, but
supposed he was a kinsman of hers.
He conducted her to some woods near
tho cemetery and there committed a
most horrible rape upon her person.
She returned home, and with tears
streaming down her cheeks informed
her mother of the facts, saying she
could and would identify the one that
hud committed it.
The next morning tiie mother with
tearful eyes went to Justice N. L. Redd
and sued out a warrant for Crawford’s
arrest, which was immediately placed
in tho hands of a bailiff’. The mother
says she can fully identify him, and that
when ho is arrested she wishes a phy
sical! to examine tho little girl who it
is said, is greatly injured. He is sup
posed to lie hiding in Alabama and will
bo certainly caught, when justice will
be done.
Tliis is an outrage on a civilized com
munity and becomes tiie citizens to
spare no pains in securing his capture,
Crawford is described as being of
dark complexion, 5A feet high and one
who alternates between Browneville
and Columbus.

Dear Enquirer-Sun: To-day Alfred
Marshall, colored, was executed for the
murder of Mr. S. A. White.
THE CRIME.
On the night of the fifth of May last,
Alfred Marshall came into Cuthbert
with a few dozen eggs,of which he sold
amount sufficient to buy a quart of
whiskey. After imbibing freely, he
came to where Mr. White was stting.
White asked him what he had in his
basket. Marshall told him he did have
eggs, but had sold them, and stated the
price. White replied that he would
liave given more. Marshall replied,
“You are a liar.” White said, “You
must not-call me a liar." Marshall
stepped back a few paces, and said,
"D—n you, I will kill you,” and fired,
the ball striking Mr. White in the body
from which wound he died in a few
minutes afterward.
Marshall then threw away his pistol
and ran, followed by officer Kirlcsey,
who soon captured him and lodged him
in the county jail. He was tried dur
ing the May term of the court, snd
found guilty of murder. His case was
carried to the Supreme Court and the
judgment of the Superior Court here
affirmed; and at the November term,
when tiie remitter was received, Judge
Kiddoo sentenced him to hang on to
day. Through the kindness of Sheriff
Smith we were permitted to visit the
doomed man a few hours before his
execution. We Informed Alfred that
he had but a few hours to live, and if
he had anything to say we would be
glad to record it for the Enquirer-Sun.
HIS STATEMENT.
He stated that on that fatal night
he was intoxicated, and did not
recollect seeing Mr. White; that he
brought with him a pistol which
would not revolve. He added : “1 do
not recollect whether It was fixed or
not; never had any 111 feeling against
Mr. White, and liave no recollection
when I shot him, and I was surprised at
myself when they told me what I had
done the night before. This is all I
know, and I am now ready to go and
meet my God I my Glorious Redeemer,
I am thirty-nine years of age, and have
a wife and five living children. I lost
my arm during the war, and my dear
master. Warn all, both white and
black, that whiskey has brought me to
this solemn end. Oh, my God! my
God I”
THE EXECUTION.
About 91 o’clock, Judge Kiddoo sent
an order to Sheriff' Smith, that if tiie
condemned man had any statement to
make, it must be done in his cell. He
declined to do so, and as lie went down
the stairs (the gallows was erected im
mediately under the stairway) he com
menced, aud did sing the old sacred
song, "Just as I am, without one plea,"
Ac., and continued to do so until lie
mounted the scaffold, when he com
menced the song “Come, follow me to
Jesus." During this time his wife
with her five children wept and shout
ed, joining him in his farewell song,
witnessing ids march to the fatal instru
ment of death. While Marshal E-
Ridgway was adjusting the noose, A1
fred admonished all to beware of that
curse of all curses "Rum," bid farewell
to all and hoped that all in
his hearing would meet him in heaven,
that he did not fear death and was ready
to go. While ho was admonishing all
and in the midst of a sentence, Marshal
Ridgway cut the rope and Alfred Mar
shall was launched into eternity. His
neck was not broken and lie died from
strangulation. A most horrible scene
was witnosed, when, for seven or eight
minutes, he actually bteathed. Being
very near, with Dr. McLester during
the time, the breathing was perceptible,
About three hundred negroes were
present, principally women and chil
dren. His body was turned over to his
wife. All passed off quietly.
Thanks to Sheriff Smith and Jailor
Brooks for courtesies.
Yours, Les.

’Tis said of tiie little nocturnal pest,
the bed-bug, that at "nest-hiding” he
excels Beecher; as a sucker he is su
perior to tiie cupping pump, while he
equals Lydia Thompson at “drawing.”
It is rather strange that they refuse the
blood of a lady who has tiie hysterics,
or who is prostrated with any chronic
female complaint. Now it strikes us
that all ladies, who are afflicted as above
indicated, should ut once resort to the
use of that wonderful female medicino
known as English Female Bitters, and
be cured of these female troubles, that
they may furnish good wholesome
blood-food to the poor starving bed
bugs.
Full particulars can be had of Bran
non or Hood, ut Columbus.
