Mrs alextin Suiei :e.
A dispatch fiom Adairsville
on th* 20th of J uly giv ea the
following pa* ticul&rs of the sui¬
cide of Mrs, William Alexan¬
der of that place.
“A sad occurence, made hor¬
rible tb otigh sell destruction
happened iu a bed Mr.
Wfbiam Alexander’s residence,
of TO is place, this morning at
seven o’clock, by the instant
death of his wife at her own
hands who had been in feeble
health lor some time—almost
an invalid No treatment ot
any kind seemed to allviate her
sufferings, though being watch
ed over by tender hands. No
• evidence of weak mental facul
ties showed itself by any of her
actions, until in the past few
days symptoms were presented
that made the family, consist,
mg of father and two daugh
teri^. somewhat uneasy, This
morning having dressed herself,
she walked aboutNHbe house
very eamlyifc Her daughteis,
who weie itr the t dining room,
requested their mother to lie
down—that she would feel bet
«*
ter. She went to her bed. At
terming there a few moments,
she got up very quietly and
.procured a loaded shot gun,
tied it by the breech to the bed
post, then running a string
flora the trigger to that place
and pulled the hammer back.
Then taking a seat in a chair
she put the muzzle to her eyes
and pushed the barrel of the
gun backwards, thus pulling
the trigger, which sent the con¬
tents of a heavily loaded gun
crashing through her head, tak¬
ing the euDre. top away, scat¬
tering blood and brains ovir
the floor and walls. Father
and daughters were in the
room in a m meut only to be
prost. ated by the awful sight
that met them. The wails and
piteous cries of father and
daughters lying prone upon the
floor over the headless body of
their mother the surroundings
painted in her own blood, mak¬
ing a picture that would turn
the gaze of any one.
The Piedmont Exposi¬
tion
Opens on Oct. loth, and i ifc
flourishing like the green Bay
tree. Each day, as it draws
nearer, we are more thoiough
iy convinced, that no fair in
the annals of our gland old re¬
public, was more interesting,
and showed more of the coun
tiy's resources, tending to the
upbuilding, and developing of
the J arts and sciences, than (Lis
one promises to be.
The counties are falling into
line with their exhibits rapid
ly, and each striving to si tr¬
pass ill the coin modi
ties. Now we think it is high
time that Murray was
beiitig with many counties!
that havt fallen into ranks. It
is useless for us to cnuinei ate
the many eupeiior advantages
we have over any county in
Noith Georgia; for they are
standing out boldly in large
letters tippeil with gold and
silver, to every thinking citizen
of five county, 'I he extreme
low rates on (In* railroads will
induce liuuUieds of our citizens
to attend the exposition, and
now in the name of piide, Ut
OR go to wo.k, aud . we will
nchieve a victory; one that will

us occupy h place m thisgraud
fair that we will not be aahaui
of, a square that we can
our friends to see, and
feel proud of the name of Mur
ray. We await the further
decision of the people, and let
us hope tbaj^ action will be
taken at once. We are ready
to do anything akatis leasona
hle through the Times.
The Legislature.
Mr. McCleskey has introduc¬
ed a bill prohibiting any i ail -
road or steamboat company
from . . .
running any excursion or
picnic train, boat, or vessel ot
any kind >n the Sabbath day.
Air. Smith, of Crawfords—A
TO providing that physicians
and surgeons shall not be allow
ed to disclose any information
whit# may have been acquired
in visiting a patient in a pro¬
fessional character, and which
information was necessary to
enable him to prescribe tor the
patient, whether it be disclos¬
ed by the patient or discover¬
ed by the surgeon or physician
on examination.
Mr. Denny.—A bill amend¬
ing and revising the public
school law of Georgia.
Mr. West, of Ilahfflpham,—
To amend section 2040 of the
Code (adding one yake of ox¬
en, when there is no horse, to

Mr Way of Liberty.—To
amend section 708 qf the Code,
by striking out the clause re¬
quiring the slacking of speed

proaching crossings, General

Mr. Sims, of Lincoln.—To
provide for the pay of excused
jurors.. 4
♦ A.
Judge Baud, sitting in ihe Uni¬
ted Stales District Court in Balti¬
more recently, decided that Thom¬
as Wiggins, known all over the
world as ‘Blind Tom,' the pianist,
shall be delivered on or before
August 16, into the custody of Mrs
Rethuue, who represents Charity
Wiggins, mother of Blind Tom, and
that James W Bethune, who 1ms
charge of h m, shall at the same
time pay over to Mrs. Bethune the
sum oi $7,C/h: tor past services.
The case has been in the courts for
several years, and has attracted
considerable attention from the
fact that Tom has been held ns a
chattel by the Bethunes ever since
his musical genius made him valu¬
able. The suit was brought in the
interest ot his mother to regain
possession of him.—Macon Telegraph.
Your writer while in Atlan¬
ta recently, heard it intimated
by a representative that if the
weather continued at its pres¬
ent. heat, there would probably
be a bid introduced allowing
the senators and representa¬
tives to wear white mother
huh bards. It this bill should
pass, we think U at an agency
to sell photo? of the group
would he a profitable business.
Macon haa a weather p oph
t t whose ]>roguostications have
met with many verifications.
Here-is the latest: About the
7th of August lookout tor a
terrific rain There will be a
hot spell from the 11th to the
20th and about the 27th the
Cemulgee will be all over the
swamps. Paste this on your
