A Woman Shot Down in Cold Blood- In yesterday's paper we mentioned the fset that a woman had been found dead on the farm of Mr. George Freeman, about four miles below town. Later in the day we learned the following additional facts in re gard to what now turns out to be a most in} sterious tragedy : The Coroner’s jury found Lne body lying in the field about sixty feet from the fence, pierced with two bullet holes ' khe first one in the breast, evidently caused by a shot from a rifle, and the second one in the forcaead, which had the appearance of aaving been made by a pistol, which had been fired after the woman was down, as the wound was burnt by the powder. The sup pos.tion is that she was shot by some person on the outside of the fence with a rifle, and that after she fell the assassin, to make his work sure, placed a pistol to the head and sent a bullet crushing through her brain. Two different sets of tracks were found near the body, coming from the fence. It is sup posed that the murder was committed about tiiree o clock, on Tuesday evening, as some parties who were working in a neighboring field heard the gun shots in the direction of the murder. The cause and the perpetrator of this most dastardly outrage are both shrouded in the deepest of mystery, but it is to be hoped that the guilty party will be brought to speedv justice. Walnut Dots. Mr. Editor :—Again I will write you some notes from this and adjoining vicinity. Some of our farines have “laid "by” their crops, and others arc very busy in that re spect. The Rev. W. 11. Bridges has a field of corn, about eight and a half acres as good vve wager as in the county, all taiselled, - all silked, and ere you publish this, he will have roastmrs at his house. Also the same gen tleman is building himself a magnificent residence on ins farm near Walnut Creek church. Mr. A. T. Cheek, formerly of this county, butpiow of Walton county made “ Walnut” a visit on the last fourth Sunday, and favored Harnett's Academy on the afternoon with his singing ; rest assured “ Tarp” is one of the boys, and knows how to sing —come again “ Harpy.” Everybody is saying something or making preperation for the coming cele bration and musical convention. lam no doubt but what everybody wont be there, in cluding their sisters, cousins and aunts. We were at Hoseh's saw mill to the picnic, and a glorions time was had ; everybody seemed to enjoy themselves, and dancing was had all day. I wonder how many tired fantastic toes there was in the county the next day. The committee deserve much credit for the arrangements. They have an excellent singing society at Mountain Creek church every Sunday after noon at 3 o'clock, they have the facility and talent for most anything, especially singing, it is superior and “hard to beat. We see the name of J. H. Kheinhart announced in the Forest News for the Legislature at the ensuing election. The undersigned is one who concurs with that announcement, and will take the stump in his behalf. We therefore declare our self a Rhein hart man and please “ don’t forget it.” In a meloncholy style, I must say something about that correspondent from Virgil who has acquainted the readers of the News that L had bought tnyseif a pair of new shoes— so sorry she did not “throw in” by way of kindues sake, a pair of cotton yarn socks all covered with red spots and a star in the middle. I wonder if she thinks this is my first pair, if so, has she ever seen me bare footed. She also request said readers of the News to ask me how I got my fingers broke in Gwinnett county visiting my “ dina,” she asked me herself previous to her letter from Virgil, and golly how she “blushed,” so therefore she knows “ how ’tis herself.” Your readers around here wants to know if “ Uncle Joe” is still alive; we never see nor hear tell of him these days. \\ e were very much pleased when wc opened the mail bag and found the Forest News one day in advance—much oblige for the arrangements; also thanks for supply meats relative to the convention. Railroad topics the general order of the day ; some think they can get the depot at their residences, but the greatest excitement is the stakes (surveyors stakes) quite a curiosity, come up and sec come. They drove one right down in “ Aunt Polly’s” watermelon patch and she got mad too.
