EXCUSED.
Odie Pututun, J M Stringer and
Joe Hardin, being summoned on a
special jury this week, were not im-
pannelled. The State refused to ac
cept them, but no reason given for
refusing. Some think it was on the
ground of incapacity. As the “civil
service” set forbids any distinction
«>n account of race, color, or previ
ous condition—The question natu
rally arises—Is their anything wrong
about their minds ?
SUPKUIORCOUHT.
Was called at the usual hour
laet Monday. His Honor Jainos ft
Brown presiding, and Sol. Gen 1
Oeo. P. Qobcr, was promptly in
position.
The improssivo charge of Judge
Brown to the Jury was heard with
marked attention.
This coart has been characteriz
ed with the number of important
cases tried nnd an unusual interest
taken by the attorneys.
ANOTHER IMPROVEMENT.
H H McEntyre is building acot-
tage in the suburbs of Canton, where
he will have a pleasant and roman
tic home. It is mar a large bold
freestone spring that pours out from
one of the steep biufls that surround
his house. The cottage stands sear
the spot where ouce lived a noted
Indian squaw, “Bettie Crow.”
* Mr McEntyre has here ample room
for an “Intense’’ farm, aud aa large
an orchard as he desires. When im
proved as he expects to improve, this
will ba a valuable and attiactive
home.
A SUCCESSFUL HUNT.
On Wedneaday (the 4th,) 0 M
Keeter shot and killed a fine deer,
fanr miles west of Canton, on Stamp
creek. The deer was run flftecu
miles by 12 of Mr Ward’s hounds
before ns wss caught up with. Messrs
Keeter, Pope, and othtra were in the
chase. After the deer was killed,
the party, having borrowed the dogs,
ent off the deer’s ears and tied
them round one of the hound’s neck,
and aent them back to the owner of
the dogs. Mr Ward acknowledged
the receipt by mail. So all parties
were made glad.
GOOD LUCK.
Henry Steele is one of Cherokee’s
most prosperous farmers and worthy
citizens. He has had the “bad luck”
to remain some time in “single bless
edness.” He has now obtained the
left hind foot of a rabbit, lie has
had a jeweler clasp with a golden
plate, this rabbit foot and fasten it
to his watch chain. He wears this
good luck ornament wkerevsr he goes
It requires ao expert prophet to tell
that, in short a time Mr Steele will
havdsome one to lean on his arm
and tell him, when the Hour aud
meal tubs are about out.

holder in their employ “I bet,” and
tben this stockholder dodges by
avoiding—cutting at Canton, and
insinuating againat Capt. McAfee.
Canton is a thrifty, growing town*
and her people are a noble people, and
Capt. Mo A lei a bard working man,
of energy and perseverance, and they

Who compose the company? Who
is responsible for tho debts? Who
gets the pay and how much? How
much stock has been issued and

How many Bold and who to and at

if you dodge tho 1st mortgage of

When was it oiganized? Where is

THE GEORGE HILL TRIAL
The account of this killing, and
the arrest of George Hill colored, in
Chattanooga &c, was given in the
Advance several weeks ago.
The trial was commenced on last
Tuesday, it taking nearly all the day
to impannell the jury. Solicitor
General, Gober, and George R Brown
for the State, and Newman & Atta-
way, and P. P. Dupree for the de-
faiise.
The witnesses were all negroes.
The evidence for the Slate, had its
usual variety, according to the diff
erent temperaments nnd capacities
o! the witnesses in expressing them
selves. For the defense, the evi
dence semed more of a sterotyped
uniformity. All the speeches were
able, lengthy and well prepared.
The charge of His Honor, was
pointed and easily understood.
The Jury retired to make up the
verdict, and ruturn'd after an ab
sence of about two hours with the
following. “We the Jury, find the
prisoner guilty of murder.”
DEATH SENTENCE.
At 1 and a halt o’clock yester
day, the court house being dense
ly crowded. Judge Brown, aftor
some preliminary remarks, George
Hill, col'd standing. His Honor
said—“Having had a fair tiial, the
Jury finding you guilty of murder
—tho Sheriffwill take yon to tho
jail,there to remaintill Friday, 1st
day of June,you will then be taken by
said Sheriff, with a guard aud cat-
lied to the placo selected by tho Or
dinary, within one Mile ef tbe Court
house, and there between the hours
of 10 a. m. and 3 p. ra., be hanged
by the neck till you are dead. And
may the Lord have mercy on your
soul 1”
Now is tbs the time to subscribe

ANOMHER GOURD TALE.
Boad Harris says—That some
years ago. he and Col DuPree were
coming from Cartersville, and stop
ping at u farm house ia Bartow Co.,
to get water, they saw a gourd vide
that covered over an acae of ground.
This vine wheie it came out of the
ground was as large as his (Boad’s)
body. Boad thinks that the vine id
a direct line would measure over 5
miles in length. He and Col Du
Pree counted the gourds on said
vine, up to something over 400, and
bad to stop on account of the late
ness of the hour, fearing they would
not have time to get horns before
night. So he don’t know how mauy
gourds were on the vine,and dislikes
to make a guess, for fear some one
might tliiuk his ideas were extrava
gant.

Thus showing an industry and
