* Memorial Oay.
Saturday last, the day selected for
decorating the soldiers graves, was
observed by only a lew at ihis place.
Only a few tender hands made
wreaths and bouquets, and clustered
flowers in other forms to show their
love, respeet and remembrance of
the honored braves who are sleeping
in the arms of death at our cemetery.
Some had mo flowers, some forgot ,
some had no time , and some, we .dare
say, cherished no desire to pay
this small tribute io the memory of
those who spilled their lifes blood
in the Lst but noble cause that
their loved ones at home might en
joy a life of peace and independence.
The Weather.
Fur the past week “old prob’s”
has been rather fickle and most too
severe on some of the chilnren of
the Sunny S mth. Saturday 'o **noon
brought forth rain, sunshine and a
young hurrican—all making close
connection at this point. At about
noon the clouds Soared high, the sun
shone at intervals, but the winds
still made their wild jesiures with a
vim, and without respect to ertno
lines and such. Sunday and Mon
day were more favorable but Tues
day evening was inclined to be
stormy. Wednesday morning was
quite winter hke, in fact real cold
and windy, and this Thursday morn
ing jack frost was out with his heavy
winter coat. Cotton and other young
vegetation will not reap much bene
fits.
I quisition—Murder.
On Saturday last Coroner Grubbs
was notified of the killing of a negro
man, who' had been at work wi;h
Dr. W. J. Aringron, and residing at
the Philo Neely p'ace, in this coun*
ly. A jury of inquisition was sum
moned and an inquest field over the
body of the deceased, on Sunday
lasi, at the ab >ve named place.—
Witnesses tesiifieri to the tact that
Peter Jackson colored, without pro
vocation—attacked Mos -s Byne, al
so colored, and shot him with a
double-banel shot gun, inflicting a
wound which caused his death in a
few hours. The aftiir took place
about two oclock p. rn. on Fiiday
last, and the deceased died about
nine o’clock that night. According
to the evidence given before the
Coroner’s Jury, it was s clear case
of wilful murder, and a verdict was
rendered accordingly. The shooting
was done in Burke county, the tnur*
dr rer taking his flight immediately,
and up to last accounts he had nut
been arrested.
Escaped Convict—Outrage Committed.
Sometime during the latter part of
lasi week, one ot the penitentiary
convicts escaped Trom his leaser in
Washington county. He came imo
Jeffers m and attempted to eoinmi
an outrage on a negro woman in the
lower pa it of tlie county. Not
ceerling here he proceeded f.rther,
and in the neighborhood of No. 10,
lie succeeded in g atifyingh s hellish
desires, m.ikir ga white lady hisvic
tint. Pursued t>y a party of men,
who had b'-en notified ot lire distur
bance, he made his way into the
Oyechee Swamp near No. 10, where
he was capiurtd, and commit ed in
a comm tmeiu trial b fire the Jus
tioeoi that district. While in charge
of an officer he was seiZ'd by a par
ly of men, and it is believed lin t he
got an irwmediate transport to a more
to* rid zone, where lie will n >t s iffer
trom these cold snaps which ‘-Oil
probabilities,’ -at intervals inflicts
upon US.
Thus die public are already begin
ning to realize the profits and plea**
ures of having the convicts leased and
farmed out all over dm country.
