For several days pasttho wenth-

disagreeable for this season of tho
year, but nothing compared with
tho great freozo which occurred
in this section of county on the
18tK, of March, ’7(5, which de
stroyed the entire fruit crop. It

witnessed this groat freeze, as tho
distruotion was groatof than ever
known by some of our nged pa
rents. Think of it 1 Even to tho

novor put forth their young and

spring is nigh. It is uot. so now,
though we have had storms, sy-
olones and froozes to remind us of
the wighty power of God; yot wo
feel almost assured that the worst
Has post, as the wenther in now
beautiful and bright, and shall go
to work in earnest preparing for

there is plenty yet remaining to

Elopement in High
We nre sorry to learn that the
wifeofagcntlemun’in uu a (joining
oounty was told about tour weeks
by his wife that, she desired to vis
it some of her friend in Alabama
Ho carried her to the nearest rail
road depot and she hade him an
affectionate good-bye; tho said site
wopld return iu two months,but it
seems she ohangu her miml, as sho
wrote her husband l ist week she
should never return; tho reason
she gavo for not returning, was,
sho said she had never loved him,
although lie had always boon kind
to her. The parties are aiming the
elitoof Georgia,in point of wealth,
intellegenco ami social standing.
They had not been married more
than six month, when tho elope
ment took place. The husband
1ms tho sympathy of the entire
onmmuuity here, whore lie is well

tho deepest interest- is manifested
by every ono. Mr. Shephard, is
roimoctod with soino of the best
people in the county. Ho will have
a fair and impartial trial, and as

or. innoconse of tho accused,
Messrs. J. II, Holsey, and A. A.

They Confessed to Great Crime.
Aikems, S. 0., Unroll lfith.—■
Outlie 2nd, of November, 18TG;
two quiet Germans—Houseman
ami Portsmauo—liviug four miles
from this pluue, were murdered.
The bouso was robboffl sot on (ire,
and burned to ushos, with tho
bodies. Suspioion attached to five
negroes—Nelson Brown, Lucius
Thomas, Adam Johnston, John
Henry Dennis, and Stephen An
derson—and they were avrosted.
Proof accumulated that they wore
tho right parties, and they finally
made conlession. They also con
fessed, to hurtling tho Baptist
ohnrch in Aikon,' (murdering 11
whitoninn named Devin, and otli-
or crimes/ On tho Mil, of Janu
ary they were tried by 11 jury com
posed of twelve negroes itnd were
convicted anil sentenced to be hung
on the lfith of March.
Yesterday Gov. Hampton res
pited And^sen for thirty days.
This morning tub execution or
four others, Nelson Brown, Lu
cius Thomas, Adam Johnston, J no-
Henry Dennis, took place in pvos-
oiico of about five thousand people.
The sheriff had n posse of ono hun
dred armed tnou guarding tho gal
lows. Tho prisoners, attended by
preachers of their own color, nil
addressed the crowd, confessing
tho murder and acknowledging
tho justness of the sentence. John
ston insisted 11p m tho sou of his
owner during slavry Btauding by
him to the last. No efforts wffro
made by friej&s irf-the condemn
ed men to rpchu them, nl though
threats were previously made
Each effl fussed his share in the
murder. The drop fell at 12
o’clock nnd the murderers expire
d almost without a strng’.e. The
crowd then disnersuil. .Forleot
order prevailed.—Col. Tillies.

Tho freaks oi a Butts oounty
youth are thus deoribed Uy tho
Monroo Advertiser:
“Wo life called upon to refiort
an act of' lawlessness which would
havo disgraced iin inhabitant of
the most barbarous country
known. A young man named
Tnmier, liviug in Butts county,
onine to town on Saturday and
drank enough liquor to mako him
vary drunk. In tho afternoon lie
left town for homo, in n wagon
with somo negroes. When nearly
out of town, lie passed the resi
dence of Mr. W. B. Amos, nnd
seeing a negro woman in tho yard
lie pulled out his pistol nnd tired
at tho woman. Tho hall misBeil
her nnd struck the house, Mrs
Amos, hunrTng tho noise, came
nut of tho house to nscertnin the
oiiuso. Tanner jumped from the
wagon,rau nearer tho houso and
fired his pistol at Mrs. Amos.
Fortunately I10 missed his aim.
Tho Marshal was in tho neighbor
hood and in-rested Tanner nnd
brought him up town, when Mr.
Amos procured a warrant ami had
him commitod to jail. Later in
the afternoon the Doputy Sheriff,
not knowing that Tauner was pon
lined in tho lower room of the jail,
loft tho front door open. Tanner
walked out and 11 diligent search
has failed to find him since.”
■J-
Nell out of Jail.
Wo were amused at an incidont
that occurred hereon Friday night
last. “Cas Carson” bored tho log
iutwo in tho bottom or floor of
tlio jail and it has novor been
stopped up. W. B. Shephard,
charged with killing his wife/wns
put in jail on Friday ovening last,
to await his trial 011 Tncsduy morn
ing hoforo Mr. Justico Jenkins,
He waited until dark, when lie
says he fell through tho hole and
out of jail, .lie wont to his uncle’s
got slipper nnd stayed all night,
was back in town next morning
waiting ou the Justice.
The s!Cribs which, swept over r
large portion of tlio Cumin- on
tho 8tli inst, cxioiuliiig from (lie
gulf states to Canad-i. seem lo
have a common origin in somo tre
mendous distui'hiiuoc in the Mex
ican sea. In Alubiiraa wjrjiist hear
of tlio tornado in Tallapoosa county
where, otpano plantation,' two per
sons wore killed outright, and all
tlio houses demolished. This
storm passed over tho couutry iu a
iim-heuslerly direction. At the
same moment a parallel storm
passed Irom F|orda into Georgia,
anil its conrs has been traced ns
far ns Jefferson county. It passed
through the counties of Thomas
and Daugherty, mid in portion of
those was exceedingly severe.
In addition to thuso, there is
evidence of a thoird disturbanc;
which entered Georgia through
Quitman county and going to
wards th<i Northeast. In some ol
tho counties over whicli these
counties passed iho distress occa
sioned has been so'serious ns In
