Greenesboro Home-Journal: Last Thurs
day night, on the plantation of Cuarlei
Armor, near Salem, In this county, a most
revolting butchery was committed The
party killed was beney Curnton, and Tap
Armor was the murderer. Both parties
were employed by Mr. Armor and both
lived on the same place. Tbe girl was about
17 years old and lived with her parents.
The man is about 21 years of age. In re
turning home, and within a few hundred
yards of her parents’ cabin, the girl was
met by Tap Armor, who halted her, and,
from tbe evidence before the coroner’s
jury, made improper proposals. These
she spurned when he, drawing a pistol,
tired at her, the ball entering her breast
and inflicting a fatal wound. Ho then, it is
presumed, assaulted her. Realizing what
he bad done, he drew a razer and cut his
own throat, then, rushing toward the
house, he gave tho alarm and alleged that
another negro on the place, stating his
name, had shot tbe girl with a pistol and
cut his, Armor’s throat. The greatest excite
ment prevailed and the negroes ou the
plantation quick! v brought her to her par
ents’ home. There she told tee story that
Tap Armor hod shot her and cut his own
throat for the reasons above stated. She
lived but a short while and died. The mur
derer is under arrest.
Greonsboro Home Journal: Ono day last
week a horrible discovery of the body of a
murdered woman was made near Siloam.
The body was that of Jane Jernigan, and
from its condition it was supposed to have
lain there for several weeks. Coroner Wood
was notified and immediately held an in
quest. Tho facts developed were as follows:
According to the testimony it seems that
the woman was quite i>opular with tho
negro mea in that neighborhood, omong
whom was Jesse Crumley. This negro
just before Thanksgiving day stated
that he was going to leave the neigh
borhood and endeavored to persuade
Jane Jernigan to accompany him. This
she refused to do, stating that she intended
to marry another mail. Upon her refusal
he became very much infuriated ami threat
ened, if she did not comply with his demand,
that ho would kill her. Crumley left for
parts unknown on Nov. 27, and since
that time has not been hoard of. The last
seen of the woman was on the evening be
fore. No alarm was attached to her dis
appearance, however, as it was pre
sumed that she, either awed by
his threats or persuaded by his plead
ings, had accompanied Jesse Crumley.
These were the main facts adduced at the
inquest, and in accordauce the jury brought
in a verdict of murder against tho negro.
A warrant was sworn out, but ho has not
as yet been apprehended, and it is presumed
that he has left tbe county. The citizens of
Biloam have offered a rownril of SSU for his
arrest and delivery to Sheriff J. 11. English.

Ayer's Pills are commended as the best reg
ulator of the liver, stomach, and bowels.
Ur. Thomas Conners, of Centre Bridge, Pa.,
says: “ Having loug used Ayer’s Pills with
good results, I can confidently recommend
them above all others.” Ur. Geo. p. Spencer,
of Unity, N. 11., writes : “ I consider Ayer’s
Pills far superior, as a cathartic, to any that
are furnished by the pharmacopoeia.”
“After suffering for eight years from chills
and fever, with only occasional intervals of
rest, I was cured by Ayer’s Pills alone. My
case had resisted treatment with the usual
doctors’ prescriptions and a great number of
proprietary medicines; but under the influ
ence of Ayer’s Pills the chills and fever
ceased, my liver and stomach were restored
to healthy action, and my former good health
returned. Ayer's Pills cannot be excelled as
a remedy for disorders caused by malarial
poisons.”—S. L. Barrow, Gordon, Texas.
“ For headache, Ayer’s Pills arc the most
effective medicine.”—G. Rodee, Homer, N.Y.
“ When I feel the need of a cathartic, I
take Ayer’s Pills, and find them to be more
effective than any other pills I ever took.”-'
