A. Brutal Murder.
We have been furnished with the-!
following account of a most cowardly j
and brutal murder which took place j,
seven miles from Lnla City on the
lltli iust.:
A man by the name of Evans and -
another by the name of Faulkner had
a difficulty on Sunday morning, the
11th inst, when the latter had a
peace warrant .taken out against
Evans, and a posse summoned to arm
rest him. John Hunter, marshall of
Belton, who had a previous difficulty
with Evans, volunteered to go with
the posse.- When they arrived at
Evans’ house, they found him armed
with a pistol, who, when ordered to
surrender, gave up his pistol, and was
at once shot down by Hunter, and
who approached and beat the dying
man on the head witli his pistol.
The father of Evans, witnessing the
assault on his son, bade Hunter to
desist, whereupon, Henry Hunter,
brother of the marshall, fired upon
the old man and shot him through
the artn. Hunter was arrested and
placed under guard.

Fkof. Tripp’s Lectw«s<
The- course of lectures by Profi
Tripp-on the recent great historical
epochs- of France and Europe, to
which* we alluded in onr last issue, is
to be given in the University Chapel,
beginning on Wednesday evening of
this week at 8 o’clock; The subject
of the-opening lecture will be “the
thrilling Paris Revolution of February
1848,” as witnessed by the lecturer,
Thegreat event, as some of our read
ers will remember, burst forth amid
the general tranquility of Europe,
like a thunder clap from a clear sky,
and ushered in a series of events, in
dramatic interest and historical im
portance, unsurpassed in the annals
of the world. The lecture, therefore,
forms a very appropriate opening to
a course Comprising a period so near
gone to Atlanta to sec about thfiffthe present as to render exact infor-
Htnto College Lectures—Prof.
"W. >1, Drowno’s Course.
The series of lectures which the
members of the Faculty of the State
College of Agriculture and the Me
chanic Arts deliver annually during
the winter and spring, for the benefit
of the mechanics and nvtizans of
Athens, affords that meritorious class
of our cominnnty most valuable in
struction and profitable entertain
ment, of which, we are happ\ to ob
serve, large numbers have taken
advantage >
General Wm. M. Browne, the Pro
fessor of History and Political Science,
commenced bis course on last Mon
day night, taking for his subject,
“The Dignity of Labor and the
Value of Economy,” showing how
industry may enable the poorest man
to achieve the highest honors and
distinctions—how working men have
achieved the highest successes not
only in meclinnicdl skill, but in art,
science and literature, and how those
who fail, by economy, to pro vide.for
the future, spending all they earn,
have no share in the world’s progress,
and are always - the slaves of the eco
nomical and the frugal.
Prof. Browne dwelt with much
force of argument and, aptness of
illustration on what he called “the
prevailing sin of modern society,”
the attempt by men of small means
to imitate the extravagant and luxus
lions habits of the rich, in the false
belief that to appear rich, even though
we aro not, is the test of respecta
bility.
Prof. Browne’s lecture was well
prepared both as to style and matter,
and was very favorably received by
the large audience to whom it was
addressed.
The second lecture of his course,
will, we v leam, be delivered on Mon
day night, 26 th inst.
