Inquest—Ver
dict, Etc,
Seldom bM our community received
such a shock, as it did on last Monday,
when tho painful intelligent was
brought to our town, that two bright
young girls, Misses Sfirah Norris and
Ella Ball,' had been iound drowned
in the Ochlockoneo river, near the
railroad bridge some six miles west
of this place. The former was seven
teen years of age, and the latter but
thirteen.
There is intense excitement in the
17th district, as it is thought that mur
der most foul, followed a more heinous
outrage upon one of these innocent,
and defenceless girls. It is
that a black (lend has been h
make thieats, ot such a character as
to point him out as the author, or ac-
ccssory to the commissiou o! this sus
pected great crime. If the crime
should he brought 1 ome to him, or
nny one else, m the present temper of
those ncople, he would have but
short thrive-
It seems that Miss Ball was spend
ing Sunday with Miss Norns. After
dinucr Miss II. proposed to go down
mid sec the railroad trestle and bridge,
ns she had never sceu them. Accom
panied liy her friend Miss Norris, they
were last seen by the watchman at
the bridge, Mr. Posey, at 3 o'clock
Sunday cvcuiug.
Not returning home 011 Sunday af
ternoon, the whole neighborhood was
aroused, the search continuing through
the entire night.
Early on Monday morning, Mr. It.
II. Ilowcn, discovered the nuue and
lifeless person of Miss Ella Hall in the
river, Upon further examination, as
will he seen by reference lo his testi
mony, the person of Miss Norris, was
found immediately under where that
ot Miss Ball's was found. Miss Nor
ris' body was resting on the bottom of
the river. Acting coroner, IV. L.
Hudson. Esq.,lmd the bodies removed
to Mi. Norris', and subsequently to
the house of Mr. Ball, at which place,
the inquest was held As will be seen
by reference to the sworn testimony
of Messrs. Solomon Chastaiu, Gideon
Posey and Wm. Hurst, n large bare
footed track went down into the water
from where the clothing was found,
(the clothing seemed to have been
cai (-fully laiu down with ear-rings and
linger rings,) and emerged from the
river aguiu, just where the bodies were
found.
This part of the testimony is a black
chapter, in this sad affair, and we can
but hope, that if foul play lias been
used, that the perpetrators may meet
swift, aud unerring Justice.
We nro indebted to W. L. Hudson,
'Esq , for the following transcript from
the oflicial proceedings of the inquest:
TESTIMONY OF MB. It. II. BOWEN.
If. II. Bowen being duly sworn tes
tified as follows:
Was first to discover the dead body
of Ella Ball in the Ochlockonee river,
lifeless. After her body was removed
from the river by C. T. Hudson, the
body of Sarah Norris was found imme
diately unde! that of Miss Ball, lying
ou the bottom of the river.
The body of Sarah Norris was re
moved from tho river, by W. It. Pitt
man, J. E. Dyson and James D. Joner.
Saw no marks of violence on the
body of Miss Norris, except one cor
ner of her mouth being torn, from
some caute cause unknown. Both
bodies were destitute of clothiug, it
(the clothing,) being found near
where their bodies were removed from
the river. [Signed.]

T. Hudson being duly sworn, do cor
roborate the above testimony.

C. T. Hudson.
Gideon Posey, Wm. Hurst and Sol
omon Chastain, being duly sworn, tes
tified as follows:
There was a large bare foot track
going into the river immediately
where the clothing of the girls were
found, and coming out again, where
the bodies were found. Tbo track
went down the 1 iver apparently run
ning, could not trace them to any defi
nite result.

On post mortem examination I find
no marks ot violence externally upon
either of the parties, except a portion
of the face removed from tne sub max
illary bone.
On the examination of Miss Ball,
I find her virginity uninterrupted—
in the case of Miss Norris I find the
opposite to he true. It. J. Bruce.

ACTION. \
That’s what the property holders
and btufinem men demand at the
hinds of oar local authorities. Our
people pay their taxes we believe,
willingly and promptly, and they
have a right to protection. Have
they had it? have they got it ? ( Let
the blackened walls and unsightly
ruins that mars the finest street in
our town answer. Let the oft-re
curring attempts to fire the place,
by some bold, crafty, unscrupulous
scoundrel, answer. Let the vague
unquiet and uneasy slumbers of our
citizens, who ore liable to be roused
from their sleep at any moment, by
the dread cry of fire, to see their
hard earnings melt into ashes; let
this answer. Let the long catalogue
of incendiary fires that have marked
ThomasviUe for the past few years,
answer. It is an acknowledged and
well known fact, that our police reg
ulations are miserably deficient,
when we take into consideration the
interests involved.
"With only one night watchman,
it is not surprising, that the incen
diary should touch the torch, under
the very nose of the Citie’s constitu
ted anthorites. We say give our
Mr. T.R Thurman rises and pro
poses that the vexed wafer supply
question in Atlanta, should he settled
by diggioga well to supply that village,
and modestly asserts that be is ready
to plank down $25/100 If the “old thing
don’t work.” Give him a chance gen
tlemen, you can use the money in en
tertaining the next Governors Conven
tion.
Gorman thus discourses of Thomas-
villc in a late letter to the “Standard.”
We always had a very high opinion of
his judgment, and these views of his
only confirm these impressions.
“Of all the towns in Southwest Geor
gia, there lingers a charm about this
place we can’t describe. There are
cities quite ns healthy, but not more
hunutitul; eoiinlrip* n» rich, but not
more productive;c!imatcs as salubrious
but never more favorable to the growth
of prosperity and true happiness.
Whether it is, her men arc more vig
orous and .enterprising, her women
more beautiful mid accomplished, to
which must be attributed this high
state of material progress and ad
vancement, we are unable to decide.
It must be her women and her news
paper press, the first having reared the
men, and the lost having dissemmiua-
ted tho knowledge of their works
Abroad and their deeds at home. The
true success of any country depends
on its educated mothers. Now we
will return to our subject for fear we
niiglu write an eulogy on the daught
ers. But we propound this question,
how is it that Thomas county has out
stripped all her neighboring counties
in Southwestern Georgia? It is be
cause she keeps her capital at home,
by producing her corn, oats, cane, po
tatoes and meat, which enables her to
pocket the results of her cotton crop.
ThomasviUe has more capital and the
country more wealth than any other
of the same population, we believe in
the entire Stale.
Tho late fire in that town, with a
heavy loss iu property and about one
third insurance, never broke a single
merchant. ThomasviUe boasts ot one
of the most substantial banking house,
in Georgia, that of A. P. Wright &
Co. She certainly supports two of the
btsf weekly newspapers, the Times,
and the Enterprise, which reflect in
their columns the progress and intelli
gence that exists among her people.
Her merchants and professional men
are among the foremost in the South,
with a reputation at home and abroad
that any pcoplo might be proud of.
If we had no ties in Talbot county,
Thomas would soon hold “our heart
aud soul.” Young men ot Middle
Georgia, go to Thomas county, where
health, honor and wealth await the ef
forts of the frugal and industrious.
Wt spent a day most delightfully
among her excellent citizens, aud cau
never foiget the kiuduess shown us.'*
The Result in Massachusetts.
The most significant, and hopeful
sign, connected with the crushing de
feat of Ben Butler in the late contest
tor Gubernatorial honors, is the fact
that it was none the less a defeat of
Grant and Ins whippers in, than that
of the redoubtable hero of Dutch gap.
It was well known that Grant was
lending the might of liis influence, and
using all the Federal patronage of the
government, to bolster up Butler, and
lo force him upon tho people of that
ancient commonwealth; who subservi
ent as they have been, refused to
swallow this mass of political corrup
tion, even at tbo bidding of Ctesor
himself. Is there no way to punish
tbis'tUgrant violation ofGrants will, at
the North? He finds it easy enough,
and tools without number, as well
without principle, to cany out the
blackest and foulest of bis schemes
South. Now we want to see him pun

setts. Wbajs|sauce tor the goose,

citizens, property-holders, tax pay
ers, protection. Bat how is it to be
done, asks one. We would suggest
to our city fathers that they at once
place two competent, reliable night
police upon duty, and give them
such wages as will justify them in
converting night into day. There
are hundreds of thousands of dol
lars at stoke.
If you haven’t got means, levy a
tax, tiie property-holders of the town
are willing to pay their pro rata,
bnt they want security and immuni
ty from these oft-recurring fires.
Another such fire as occurred
sometime ago, would completely
paralyze business here. We could
not stand such another conflagra
tion.
After [placing the town under
iroper and 'safe police regulations,
et them go to work carefully and
systematically, to unravel the dark
mystery that envelopes the many
fires that have occurred here in so
short a space of time. Let no stone
be left unturned, let the investiga
tion be prosecuted persistently, and
secretly, and we believe that these
fiends will be unearthed. They
walk our streets in open day. Shall
they continue to keep our citizens
in nightly terror, and to brandish
the flaming torch of the incendiary
with impunity from year to year, in
the very faces of our people ? x The
question is a grave one—the future
business prosperity of our town and
>eople are in the balance. Let our
hty Council, composed as it is, of
our best men, take vigorous and
early action, and show these mid
night fiends that they cannot ply
their infamous trade of indiscrimi
nate burning and robbery, with im
punity; and they will be aided and
seconded by the entire community.

and have put on an aditional police

business men will breathe easier for

leave nothing undone that might
uncover these worse than midnight
assassins. So long ns they go un

We are in receipt of several copies
of the Premium list of the Third Annu
al Exposition, of the Agricultural and
Mechanical Association of Georgia, to
be held at Savannah, commenting the
17th November. It embraces every
variety of production, and includes all
classes of manufactories. Nothing
seems to be left oat, from the most del*
ic&te textile, to the heaviest class of
goods. The list is gotten up at that
model of a newspaper and job office,
the “Morning News,” and is neatly
and tastefully executed, as is in fact,
everything coming from that office.
We hope that Thomas county will
be well represented, as Savannah has
always lent us a helping hand in our
annual exhibitions.

Editors Times: We have just ar
rived at home after a ten days absence
meandering through the counties of
Worth, Berrien and Brooks. Space
will not allow, nor time permit us to
describe the different incidents of our
little trip, if wc felt so deposed. Wo
found crops generally good, caterpillar
plentiful, but farmers in good heart.
Some places tbe farmer expressed
themselves glad the caterpillar had
come, and said they would give them
the right hand of fellowship, for they
would be more beneficial to the cotton
than injurious, for, Jry eating of the
leaves, the sun could then penetrate
to the bottom cotton, and save it from
rotting, and more would be saved at
bottom than lost at the top.
While in Brooks it was my privilege
to attend a Sabbath School Celebra
tion , held at the camp ground near
Morven. There were five schools
represented, Uiree Methodist, and two
Baptise The Baptist schools were
consolidated into one. Each school
had its banner, and it was indeed a
pretty sight to see them in line some
two hundred pupils, with their four
banners spread to the breeze, each
with au appropriate motto inscribed
upon it Half after nine o'clock tbe
schools together with the spectators
assembled at tbe stand. Tbe Rev.
Mr. Rentell announced the pro
gramme, and introduced the Rev. Mr.
Morris, alio read a portion of the
scripture, alter which the whole as
sembly joined in singing “The Rock
that is higher than L” Prayer by
ltev. Mr. Norris, after which the shak
ing and singing were as follows;
Speech by Rev. Mr. Giles, followed by
the song, “Golden City;” speech by
Col. Bennett, song “Shining Shore;'*
speech-by Rev. Mr. McRae, song
Tell me of Heaven;” speech Rev. Mr.
Campbell, song, u *lhe Great White
Throne.” The procession was then
formed and marched around tbe en
campment singing, “I am glad I'm
in this Army.” balling in line ope D
ranks, the speakers marched through
to the table, after which the pupils al
so, took their places at the well filled
board. Take it all in all, it was the
