’•'lie Dcl’ooi- Murder
The murder - f old man Defoor
and his wife near Atlanta a few
years since was one of thu most
horrible crime ever committed in
the State. The excitement at tlie
ime was intense and every effort
was made to discover the perpe
tiators but t lie efforts of all the
de ectives failed. At last a negro
by the name of Asa Cunn was
(raid and convicted but a new tri
al was grained and the accuse 1
was sulipeijueu'ly discharged
Last week two negroes, John
Brown and Tom Sa, n (tnvere con
'icted of this murder and sontenc
ed to be hanged on the 11th of
January. Their counsel will take
the case to the Supreme Court.
They wer convicted upon the con

"If this is not a speculation on
chances, a wagering and betting
be;ween tlm parties, then we are
ttitthlo to understand the transit
tion. A betting on a game of faro,
brag or poker, cannot be more
hazardous, dangerous or uncer

diese animals are tame, gentle and
submissive compared to this mot -

with his hammer. The sparks
flew ar.iund and all present bad to

it for some time, he turned to me
with a rueful face and said: ‘Abe,

before placed it on the anvil, and.

“To get married.”
“And you haven't any money?”

The Marietta and North Ga., R
K. is graded io Ellijay and be
yond, but for the warn of iron no
track is iaiil north of this point.
It would be greatly to ibe interest
of die road that t.be who e line
could he completed at an early
nine to die terminus, Murpliv, N.
C. The roar then, under wise
and prudent management, would
doubtless do a paying business
which, while incomple'etl, it nev
i r earn From wlmi I have been
enabled to learn, casually, ike re
maining work of completion will
doub les* embrace three or more
years ■ et. The company who
now have ihe road under c >ntrol,
are sail to be fully able to put
the road through but are at pres
ent only using certain net pro
coeds from other roads or proper
ly in t-eir possession. Let ibis
be as it may, companies are like
individuals, they generally look to
their own interest in such matters
The road so far as completed is
very crooked, with short curves
and turns. There is a great den]
of trestle work on the line, espe
cially above CuU'on in what is
known as the mountain country,
and s'range to say that curves
are made on nearly all die trestles
whether for die purpose of secur
ing greater safety in running over
such places or other desirable
ends lam not able to eav. At
nnv rate such, particularly upon
high places like the one a few
miles North of Jaspef, does not in
spire passengers with a feeling of
greater safety. I must confess
for myself the oscillations of the
pnssenger coach over that place,
some 75 feet high I would sup
pose, produced a singular feeling
of timid giddiness, while trying
o estimate the piobable riis-ane*
below, when after being in formed
the framework was of frail s rnci
I find many of our Baptist
brethren in some of the Northern
counties to be in much trouble.
It appears soma few years ago a
certain minister in East Tern es
see. named Scruggs, was guilty of
some gross conduct towards cer
tain ladies in tha* S ate and his
church excluded him. Re aining
his credentials and with a forged
le ter he found his way down in
io some es these mountaicoun
ties among unsuspecting- W T
ren. He became a great, revival
ist, and attracted not a few to
hear his discourses. He baptised
not a few in o the fellowship oi
church and one i r two of whom
ltave, since ordination, entered
the ministry themselves. Serugg:-
conduct soon became eusp-couis.
and like a satyr, his goatish legi
were betrayed, his conduct toward
certain ladies was highly criminal
and raised indignation not only
of brethren but the community a:
large, ami from here he doped U
Arkansas. He was ilien traced
back to Tennetsee and tlu Dots
as above stated were ascertsided.
Whai now gives trouble is tbt
invalidity of Ins baptism. Main
hold without rebaptism, ah
Scruggs baptised—he being only
au imposter —are not properly
church members, while others are
willing • o receive it. Hence,
arises considerable trouble.
