This week Judge Fort will hold a special term of Schley County Court for the trial of Charley Blackman, who murdered young Tondee, of Ellaville, in the early summer of 1335. At the fall term of the court Black man was tried for murder, found guilty, and sentenced to bo hanged. The trial was a memorable one. Rather than stop the pleadings of counsel, court took a recess for supper, and then, through the silent watches of the night Willis Hawkins and Ben Hin ton, two veteran lawyers, entoroi 1 the arena, and matched their eloquence, each against a foeman worthy of his steel. Both have since passed into the great beyond. Black man was condemned to death at the solemn hour of midnight, and still lives. A techni cality, by the hard work of his attorneys, secured him anew trial from the Supreme Court. Again he was tried, and the doom of death pronounced against him.

These com panics have at risk in the State of Georgia $145,205,430.39. As there has been some dispute in regard to the com panics doing business in Georgia as to which one does the largest, the figures of the Comp troller w'ill finally settle the matter. In tho list of fire companies the Southern Mutual of Athens ranks first, the London, Liver pool and Globe second, the Georgia Home of Columbus third. In tiie list of life compa nies the Mutual Lifo of New York comes first, the New York Life second and the Northwestern Mutual Life third.

M. Wilkinson, served the town authorities with a notice that they would fight the deeding of the property to the Georgia Southern and Florida, and would claim the right to the land. A representative of tho Valdosta Times talked with Mayor Thomas uml Council man J. O. Yarnedoe about the matter, and they are confident that the town holds an absolute and unlncumliored title to the prop erty, And that they will lie able to deed the pn >perty to the Georgia Southern if that company should decide that the land in quest ion is a desirable place for them to lo cate their depot and shop grounds upon. They also said that if the Florida Midland would construct and equip their road the town would make good to them the original pledge, that is, to givo them grounds for terminal facilities. FLORIDA.

He reports Barberville ana its section ns growing and prosperous and its people happy, except a Mr. Odum, the junior member of the firm of Brown ft Odum, merchants of that place. It appears that this firm became insolvent, and the Brown end of it skipped to parts un known, leaving his junior partner to fix up with Jacksonville and Savannah merchants, und to grieve over misplaced confidence in human nature. The finest improvements going on at that place at present is the large Bryan store building, which, when com pleted, will be an ornament to the place.
