MURDER WILL OUT:
!
AN ARREST MADE
It Is Said Shug McCulloch
Was Not Killed by
Train,
About the first of January, Coroner
R.E.Lawhon was called to Powder
Springs to hold an inquest on the body
of Shug McCulloch, a negro, who was
found dead on the track of the South
ern railroad.
The evidence of Henry Frey, colored,
and J. W. Humphries, white, was that
McCulloeh left Frey’s house at night,
with a bottle of whiskey, for Lithia
Springs, and nothing was known of his
death until reported next morning
The dead negro had received a long
gash on the side of the head, and the
coroner’s jury returned a verdict ‘‘sup
posed to have been killed by a passing
train.”’
Since then it has been whispered
about that the negro was struck on the
side of the head with a pistol in the
hands of a 8 man who was present
that night at Frey’s house, which re
sulted in his death, and his body was
placed where found.
_ Since then Henry Frey, the negro,
has heen working in Marietta, driving
;n wagon, and it was thought best to ar
rest him as a witness, which was done
Friday, and he wae placed in jail. The
other party is yet to be arrested.
AND KILLED,
Two Families Overwhelm
ed in Gloom and
Sorrow.
A sad tragedy occurred at the home
of Mr. Os Brown, on Bell’s Ferry
road, about seven miles north of Mari
etta, on last Friday morning. The
eight-year-old son of Mr. Charley
Chalker was visiting at Mr. Brown’s,
when Mr. Brown’s geven-year-old son
got hold of a parlor rifle. The two boys
were playing with it, not knowing it
was loaded. The Brown boy pointed
the gun at young Chalker a 8 he was
running, and the gun fired, the ball
passing through his side and piercing
the heart, killing young Chalker in
stantly. The parents are heart-broken
over the sad affair.

As the Man Who Passed a
Forged Money Order
on Him.
One Horace Gray was arrested in At
lanta and held for a week or more as
being a mysterious suspect, who had
bank checks printed by a firm, and who
afterwards confessed that he had rob
bed a post-office in Nebraska. On going
to Atlanta last week, Mr. E. L. Robert
son, agent of the Southern Express
Company, went to see Gray in prison,
and identified him as the man, under
the name of D. 8. Grant, who passed on
December 2d last an alleged forged
money order for $5O, said to have been
stolen from the Express Company at
Bald Eagle, Minnesota. It is alleged
that ten of these orders were purloined
and one passed on a firm in Griffin. The
Griffin agent also identified Gray as the
man who passed one of the forged or
ders on him for $5O. :
Mr. Roberson swore out a warrant for
Gray, and he was brought to Marietta
on ‘l‘hursday and placed in jail. As
to the result of his arrest, it is yet
uncertain, a 8 it will be nececsary to
bring the agent from Nebraska here to
prove the forgery.

cites '‘Memento quod cines es, et in
cinerim reverteres’’ (Remember that
thou art dust and must return to dusc)
a 8 he sprinkles the ashes.—Exchange.

WE WANT to interest the man who is in doubt—to the
particular man, that wants the best varieties adapted
to the soil and climate of Uobb county; to the particular man
that wants the very best garden seed that experience, time and
money can produce, we want to sell that man Buist’s Seed, the
reiiable seed for cighty-one years. If you are that particular
mean we want to add you to our list of seed-buying patrons who
have been coming to this store year after year (some of them for
11 years) for Buist’s reliable seed, and they would have no other.
We know we can make you a permanent seed customer if
you buy Buist’s Seed.
This seed is not any higher in price than you pay for the
common seed of doubtful age and reputation. It’s cheaper, for
BUIST’S SEED WILL GROW.
