We have faith to believe that at no

it is not presumption to believe that in
a few years the great Western and At

the cheapest transportation known to
commerce. The completion of a good
dirt road to Carters promises us more
remuneration in the end than any
other similar enterprise that Me know

ha3 existed between
i|ime of liu neighbors
for lame time, which has, at last, we
tot, culminated m siris trag- dv.
tkreecway was a revenue reporter, and
f*v his neighbors a great deal -of
trouble. Many of them, last winter,
tfrrfi incarcerated in the jaßs aud
draped through rand aud snow to
Carreravilie and Atlanta, through his
procurement. He has lime aud again
branded by the public press as
one of the unprincipled and willing
tools that followed in the wake of the
revenue officials, in their work of pro
scription, incarceration and blank mail.
These sets of his, dong with hia gen
oMHbtd history, made him very con
r *?t*bl ir. the eyes of the people,
liut w# thought that an era of peace
bad sat io among these people, until a
shoft time ago Green way was shot in
the bee), from which be shortly after
IWjovered. He was flattering himself
th*t the tremble was over, when as uu-
P* rt J Bent # rifle ball through
h ls bojfy. The party in ambush was
only a few feet from the object of his
hatred when the shot was fired. No
snasaenaw disposed to venture an as
scrliea as to who the guilty party was.
Green way lived about) foul* hours after
■frq -ff XM \is m upd aidr Tie
murdered man, with all his faults, did
ta ? a x * . , - ‘ ~
aot merit such an end. It vras an un

wanted aud deliberate murder—coolly
plotted and planned, and it betrays a
wSfcked and abandoned heart. The
pfdilty should be brought to justice, aud
satisfy the vengeance of the law.
Nothibg 'else will protect society, or
gi.va security to us from the hands of

down such cold-blooded and unrelent

power to vindicate an outraged law.
A young man. a sou of Mr. John
Gartelt, of this county, whs drowned s
few days ago in a millpond in this
.ooimty.. He could not 6wim, but
thought that by the aid ojT a plauk he
could cross the pond. When about
the middle of the pond the plank
turned sod threw him under, and he
never could regain his position. His
bfbther made an effurt to save him but
in vain. He sank to rise no more.
He was finally taken out after be had
lain in a watery grave for several hours.
