A motion for anew trial in the Kate

Gihner Superior Court, and the case will
no doubt go to the Supreme Court.
The fanners of Pickens are in high life,
and the crops are looking well. Every

Those people have our kindest regards.

A terrible cyclone passed through Mur
ray county last week, doing a great deal of
damage to property. The *iud was heavy
in this county also. Aliout two miles
North-west of town large trees were blown
do on, but uo gr eat jjaiqage was done that
we have head of.
A Gihner copniy My being asked if she
wwutd have it)lik in her tea, replied thus:
“The superfluity of tlic heat, added to the
flavnrosity of the milk, renders tlic con
glomeration insupportable and obnoxious
to ruy diabolical appetite. ” She wouldn’t
take milk in hcr'n; she wouldu’t. Tin
well!
Co|. J. P. Gobh, of this place, lias just
received a large stock of goods, consisting
of dry goods, ready-made clothing, boots,
shoes, bats, and everything that a person
needs. It is probably the largest stock
ever brought to Ellljy, and one of the
best selected. His ready-made clothing is
remarkably cheap, and, in fact, everything
is. Give him a call.
Hog- Gustavus J. Orr, State School
Commissioner, will address the citizens of
Gilmer county at the Court house on Wed
nesday of Court week, the 15th of May.
Every person is earnestly requested to be
present, and bear the great educator dis

The annual meeting of the stockholders
of the Marietta A North Ga., railroad will
be held in Canton, Ga, on Wednesday,
Mag Bth, for the purpose of electing a
President and Directors, and for the pur
pose of either transferring stock or agree
ing to pro rata fragment with Maddox &
Cos. Three-fourth* of the stock has al
ready been transferred, and the ' prompt
attendance of all stockholders, either in
person or by proxy, will doubtless insure
the early completion of the road to Mur
-I*7.
NOTICE.
I will attend the Tax Collector’s several
appointments in each District in the coun

inst. I will also be at Eilijay Court week

County School Commissioner.
In addition to the local bar at Pickens
Court we bad the pleasure of meeting Cols.
Paal Lester, C. D. Phillips, Moseley, I) "
P. Lester, Newman, Darnell," Styles, Baker
and Payne. The bar was sufficiently heavy
and the business exceedingly light— rather

PICKENS SUPERIOR COURT.
THE TRIAL AND CONVICTION OF KATE
SOUTHERN FOR THE MURDER
OF MARCISSA COWART.
Our readers will remember the terrible
tragedy that occurred at tlic house of John
Hambrick, in Pickens county, Ga, on the
aight of the 9th of February, 1878, win n
Narcissa Cowart
WAS STABBED AND KILLED
by Kate Southern, formerly Kate Ham
brick. The murderess fled from the coun
try with her husband, Robert Southern.
Her apprehension and arrest in Cherokee
county, N. t\, and the conflicting state
ments of parties at interest are fresh in the
minds of our readers.
On Tuesday, the 28d hist, ahe was tak
en from the jail to the bar of the Court,
and then commenced one of the
MOST INTERESTING AND EXCITING TRIALS
ever witnessed in this portion ot the coun
try. Sympathy tor her sex, and the influ
ence of some ofter friends, aid much to
remove the heuious nature of her crime
fiom the always-reaily public opiuion.
Thirty-six citirens were summoned besides
the regular panels before a jury was ob
tained.
The State was represented by Messrs. S
A. Darnell, J. Or Alien and T. F. Greer,
the Solicitor-General; the defense by Cols.
D. P. Lester, W. T. Day. Garey W. Styles
and W. H. Simmons. The taking of tes
timony pro and con lasted one day and a
half; the arguments and the charge of the
Court the same length of time.
Too much cannot be said for the vigor
ous, earnest and effective prosecution,
while the defense contested every incli of
ground in a truly meritorious manner. The
State realized that she had met focmen
worthy of their sieeL Seven arguments
were nuwie to the case besides the opening
argument. We will not attempt to note
tlie testimony or the arguments during this
long, exhaustive trial. Suffice it to say
that the jury who were composed of the
very best material, gave close, scrutinising
attention, seldom seen in our Courthouses,
lor which they merit the confidence of all
good men.
TIIE CHARGE OF TOE COURT
was full,fair and exhaustive upou the law,
applicable, so much so, that neither side
asked anything additional to be charged as
law.
The jury, after twenty-four hours’ un
tiring labor, name to the following ver
dict : “We the jury’, find the defendant,
Catharine Southern, guilty, and recom
mend her to the mercy of the Court, if
possible.” Rut alas! for her, the recom
mendation to mercy was fruitless, iu view
of such cases.
A SAD SILENCE •
pervaded the Court room—the saddest wo
have ever witnessed. A few minutes of
profound silence, and the order pronounc
ing the doom of the unfortunate woman
was written and signed by His Honor,
Judge Geo. N. Lester. He expressed his
duty as
THE SADDEST AND MOST AFFrOriSG
of Its life. Tlic carnage of the battlefield,
the loss of that good, right arm, the man
gled. dead that had fallen around him, all
had failed to unnerve and affect him like
this scene. He announced to the prisoner
her fate, and hade her go to the fountain
of God’s love, assuriug her thnt He was
willing and able to save. Here the prison
er, for the first time, broke down and gave
vent to her feelings in a flood of tears.
While His Honor read
THE SENTENCE OF DEATH,
reciting the duties of the Sher ff and fixing
Friday, the Ist day of June next for her
execution, his manly frame shook with the
solemnities of that black day, and be it
said in honor to his name and to hiß
Christian character that almost involunta
rily burst from his lips the words: “May
the Lord God of Israel have mercy on your
soul.” The effect was like magic. The
Court and jury, the counsel for the State
and for the defense, the old, young aud
middle-aged, composing a large au<lieuce,
found relief by uttering in their hearts that
prayer, and mingling together their tears.
The prisoner has one child, and the de
ceased left one. The crime was murder,
and the stern law demands life for life.
Let us temper as far as we cn justice
with mercy, and rejoice not in the death
of any.
GRAND JURY PRESENTMENTS
OF
PICKENS COUNTY, GA.—APRIL TERM,
1878.
We, the Grand Jury, selected, chosen
aud sworn for the county of Pickens, at
the April term of the Superior Court of
said county, beg leave to submit the fol
lowing general presentments:
We have carefully examined into the
condition of the county offices, and find
them neatly and correctly kept, aud take
pleasure in cheerfully commending the of
ficers to the public for having discharged
their duties with fidelity to tne people.
The public buildings seem to be in good
repair, and properly and neatly kept, and
the sanitary regulations at the jail meet
our approval.
We find the public roads of tlic county
generally to be in good condition. Some
are deficient as to mile pouts and finger
boards, and we urge the road commission
ers to give this matter their prompt atten
tion.
We recommend the Ordinary to have
some rocks iu the public the
residence of S. C. Tate blasted out aud re-,
moved from the road; we recommend the
Ordinary to lay a sufficient tax to defray
the expenses of the county ana keep it nut
of debt; we recomineDd that a public tund
be raised and applied to the paupers here
after named, and he placed in the hands
of the parties hereafter named, to lie ap
plied Lo said paup.-i tos a trust fund; To
! Lucinda Bochanon, $5 E. W. Allred,
I trustee; Catherine Fortin, $5, Steplicn
Griffith, trustee; Milly Pendiey, $5, E.
j \V. Allred, trustee; Margaret Stamms
and two sisters, sls, Jos. Eaton, trustee;
Ella Thompson, $5; Alfred Moore, $lO,
C. J. Cornelison, trustee; Madison Gaines,
$5, John Darnell,trustee; Wm. Clark,ss,
Johu Clark, trustee; Wiu. Fleming, $5,
John Evans, trustee; John Junes, $5, J.
L\ Haily, trustee; Bethany \Vigiutoo, $5,
Holcombe Cox, trustee.
We recommend that the Ordinary issue
and order to J. F. Lindsey $4 82 for work
on jail; we recommend that the juries at
the present teira of the Court receive for
their services one dollar per day; wo re
commetid that His Honor appoint Josiah
Re B Notary Public for the 10ft9th district
O. M, to fill the vacanoy of T. C God
frey, removed beyond the limits of said
district. It is the voice of this body that
the Ordinary favorably entertain a peti
tion to make null and void a public road
beginning at the Frohalk place on the
Federal road, near the residence of S. C.
Tate, thence by the residence of Cicero
Taylor and Wm. Chambers, thence to Je
rusalem court ground to its intersection
with the Canton read; we recommend the
Ordinary to take 6uch steps in relation to
Benj. Heath, Jas. Dobson, Frankey Ev
ans, Wm. Fleming, Martha J. Moss, Benj.
Williams, John Jones aud a daughter of
Laiah Woods—name not known—who ap
pear to be idiots, lunatics, or otherwise
insane persons as may seem best far the
interest of the county. We believe the
Ordinary should be satisfied that the)’ can
and will be properly cared for by relatives
or frieuds, and if lie is not so satisfied we
think they should be sent to the lunatic
asylum at the least possible expense to the
county ; we recommend the Ordinary not
to issue any license for the selling or re
tailing of spirituous liquors in this county.
At the conclusion of our labors we feel
it to be a duty we owe to tlie people of
Pickens county to extend our commenda
tion to Ilis Honor, Judge Geo. N. Lester,
aud to 001. Tlios. F. Gjreer, the Solicitor-
General, fully believing that the people
concur with us in the opinion that the in
terest of society and good government are
being fostered and protected by their la
liors. To His Honor we return our thanks
for the able, impartial and high-toned
manner in which lie bus addressed himself
to the juries, and for tlie earnest, fervent
manner in which he lias urged reform
among law-break< rs, and for his determics
ed efforts to suppress crime and for his
wholesome advice to tlie young men of our
couLty. We are due to tlie Solicitor-Gen
eral our highest regards for the vigorous
maimer iu which he Ims prosecuted crime
and the success attending bis labors, and
tor his kind attention to this body during
the present term, and to members of the
bar and tlie county officers for their uni
form kindness to us during this session.
We congratulate the county that under
tlie prescut administration of law in our
midst the evidence of reform and obedi
ence to the laws is manifestly apparent,
and we believe that the present vigorous
prosecution of the law, with its penalties
enforced, will soon bring us to the enjoy
ment of much greater security, both of
pel-son and properly.
With these remarks we kindly ask to bo
discharged lor the term.
Resolved that these presentments be
published iu I he Ei.mjay Goumkk.
