ing about one o'clock John Prater
shot George Hardy twice, once in the
hip and again in the arm. The parties
are colored and live on Mr. Chas
Craton's place.
Prater claimed that Hardy and
other negroes persuaded his wife to
leave him and go to Rome. Last
night Prater came to Hardy’s house,
where there were a number of negroes
and an altercation took place. Prater
drew his pistol and shot Hardy twice,
and then fled. Prater is a desperate
character and swears he will kill
several negroes before he leaves.
