Waynesboro True Citizen: Dr. White
bead has at bis bouse the most remarkable
cat on record. It is a Tom oat that had hsau
unsexed. Recently a mother oat died, leav

Robert Sowell of McDonough and his
son J oteph were out rabbit hunting a day
or two ago, and were about 100 feet apart
when a rabbit was “jumped,” at which Joe
immediately fired. The rabbit was at least
sixty feet from Mr. Sowell, Sr., but it is
supposed that some of the shot struck a rock
and glanced. One shot struck Mr. Sowell,
and peuetra'ed the eye just below the sight.
He immediately left for Atlanta, and
placed himself for treatment under Dr.
Calhoun. The doctor Is of the opinion that
tbe eyeball may be saved, but that the sight
will never be recovered.
Eatonton Messenger: The petitions
against a dispen-ary in Eatonton that are
being circulated in every distriot in the
county are being numerously signed, in
some district. eery while man and women
exoept two or three siguing. If the work
is not beiug systematically pushed in auy
district, it is expected that the committee
man for that distriot will go at it at onoe.
Hie desire is to give every white men In
the county an opportunity to place him
self on reoord iu this matter. in the belief
that a largely predominant sentiment
against tbe sale of whisky in tbe county
will settle that qu -Btion not only as it re
lates to tbe proposed dispensary, but to auy
other movement in tbe future looking to
the sale. It has been rumored that dis
pensary petitions were being circulated, and
that they had been freely signed by col
ored people in the main, but the correct
ness of tbe statements could not be acer<
tallied, and tbe probability is that such is
not the fact.
Upon the reassembling of the court at
Valdosta on Tueaday morning last the case
of the state vs. Fanny I+ri kt, charged with
tbe murder of her husband, was taken up.
The case lasted two days. Wednesday
afternoon about 3:30 o'clock the jury
brought in a verdict of murder, and recom
mended mercy, which will make the pen
alty a life time service in the penitentiary.
A motion for anew trial will bo made, aud
if refuied by Judge iiausell tbe case will go
to the supreme court. Sam Drinks kept a
a bar aud restaurant on Ashley street. He

was seen standing there a few moments be
fore the pistol snot was heard. Immediately
after the report she was seen running away.
The pistol found on his person was identi
fied as one a white man had sold her that
day. There was a very general feeling mat
the was guilty, but most people thougnt ehe
would hardly be oonvieted on circumstan
tial evidence.
Eatonton Mestenger: The foul murder
3bat was committed on R. D. White’s plaoe
one day last w eek is tbe sensation of the
hour. At about s indown Nov. 24 Mon
Hudson (oolored) was killed by having bis
throat cut with a knife. The crime is
charged upon Hennv Hudson, the murdered
man’s wife, aud Albert Smith, her brother,
and since the arrest of these parties each
has denied the deed and charged it upon the
other On the day of the murder Mon
Hudson had whipped his wife. When tb.
sun went down he was a dead man, a deep
ga b across bis throat. Bob Hall came
upon the scene shortly afterward, having
been preced and by the wife of t+mith and
he fou and tSmtih and Henny whispering to
gether, while Anna Smith was crying and
&10U Hudson was lviug on the grou .and dead.
Bo far as has been learned, nobody was
present at the killing but the murdered man
and his wife and her rotner, but a negro
woman who was milking the cows a quar
ter of a mile away heard tbe quarreling.
Boh Hall, when he asked 8 uith bow the
kll.ing happened, vrua t Id, ‘1 don’t know,”
Hu says, however, that while the f mr were
comi g baok from Mr. White’s he lo >ked
ba k aud *,w Smith’s arm apparently in
the swing: g motion of throwi gs met ling
away, ami that he heard something fall.
This, it is said, was the knife with which
Hudson's , hroat was cut. Smith’s knife
was found the next morning, and Smith
said be had hist it in he "ne -s grou and” sev
eral davs before. HLs in testimony that
when lie was told the knife bad been found
he jumped out of bis chair, but sat down
again ou being taken hold of and told to do so.

Pensacola News: The brutality exhibited
by an attache of Lake & North’s circus,

dren had gathered around the clown, crowd
ing aud yelling as only small boyscau, when
the attache, mounted upon a horse, with
reckless disregard of life and limb, dashed
in among the children, not even sounding a
cry of warning, and knocking them right
and left. One little fellow was knocked
down aud must have sustained painful in
juries.

whom asked him for a match. He reined
up bis horse aud felt in bis pocket for the
lucifer, when one of the tramps drew a re
volver, and sticking it in hto face, demanded
t at he shell out all tbe money that be had.
There was nothing else for hitn to do, and
the b id highwaymen departed 19 90 richer
than they were when they stopped him.

the back of the head aud knocked him to

Tampa Tribune: Ed Jackson, a negro
hack driver iu tbe employ of Smith & Bush,
got on the ratnpuge Thursday uigtiL and
came very near sending two of his “broth
ers in black” to tbe.r final destination with
out pre. a ati >n. About 10 . ’dock Jacks >n
had a r< w with Wash Lo g, ano-her negro
hack driver, in tne c tel Far i the Mis ,
i g Link saloon. They did not light, how
ever, ana Jackson .eft the ptaue aud Long
got in bis carr.age and we ,t sound asleep.
About a i hour af e ward a pistol shot was
beard near the carnage. Gus Gibeon went
out lo hive-t:gate, but saw no one in the
v cinity but Long, who was still asleep in
his carriage. Mr. Gibson went back iu the
saloon and in about half an hour came
out again aud awakened Long, telliug him
he wanted to use the carriage. The man
complaiued that his shoulder hurt him, ad
sal 1 someone must have cut him while he
was asieen. Ou investigation it was found
that he was shut in tbe shoulder. He was
taken to Dr. Jacksuu, who dressed the
wound, whioh is not considered da gerous,
though It is very painful. As it proved
later by his own coufession, Jsckson re-
turned to the sal ->n about an hou after he
had the row with Long, and finding the
latter oslee -in hue image, an-it bun and
ran off, thinking tha' he had killed him.
After snooting Long. Jackson we .t up to
.he negro -alo ns in Fort Brooke. (Sitting
on one of the saloon steps sound asleep he

of that town. Jackson a dC- dy bad some

arrest Jackson . or violating an ordinance of
tbe town and tbe latter ran from bim. Tbe
officer fired three shots at him, and Jaokson
has “had it In” for (Jody ever siuoe: and the
opportunity to get STeu which preseu'td it
self Thursday idgnt was evidently ju>t what
he was waiting for. He deliberate y shot the
sleeping man twice from behind, one bullet
entering the small of the back iu tne region
of the kidneys, aud the other between the
shoulder blades Either of these wounds
would have proved fatal, and of oourse
Cody fell to the floor unconscious. Jaokson
