A History of the Crime. -
The crime for which Ike Williams
paid the penalty was the murder of Har
riett Williams, a woman to whom he
was devoted, yet of whom he was insane
ly jealous.
The murder occurred in this county,
on tho place of Mr. Walton, lost April.
In broad daylight, he drove the woman
along in front of him, at the point of a
shotgun, through a swamp until they
reached a house of a colored family.
As she reached the well she refused to
go further, and after persistent efforts to
S t her to go on he fired one barrel of
e shotgun into her left breast, upon
which she fell against the well post.
Williams then placed the muzzle of the
gun near her head and blew the back of
it off, causing her to fall to the ground.
Then over her stiffening body he broke
his' gin to pieces. He fled and was not
caught until in April;
A reward of $250 was offered for his
arrest. He confessed the murder when
first arrested and at his trial, which
caused him to he quickly convicted and
sentenced.
He saJd that the woman was a lover
g f his, but in fils absence had gone to

CITY NOTES.
We learn >from the Danlelsvffle
Monitor that Rev B. F. EUiott has
beencilled tojh-i Baptist church at
Comer, Ga. He baa also received a call
from the church at Farmington. We
learn that Mr. Elliott has not yet de-
oided whether :to accept either of these
calls. One very high in authority
in his ohoroh has declared that Mr.
EUiott is better fitted for a pastoral
obargnin * town that will require all
his services than to work iu a circuit
three o:r four churches. He is a devoted
pastor und a good preacher, and will do
faithful work wherever called. -

—The House of Representatives has
patted a bill prohibiting toe tala of
wrong to help others in such a way
as to bring them to depend on being
helped by othexa. Over-helping is a
danger that needs to be guarded against
by him who would help most helpfuUy-
The detire to help cannot be too
strong in any loving heart and mind,
bnt the excuse of that desire must be
guarded sacredly in every ’mind and
heart.
These herd and dull times that is
prevailing aU over the country, and no
one knows how long to stay, has aud
will oall out our sympathy to give and
help those m need wh|eh are numerous
within our reach, as well as abroad.
Some, yes many, tost apply for help
are deserving and should not be turned
away. Others may be impostors, too
lazy to work, living from the oharity
of others, if others will help them. One
in giving shouli weigh well their cus
tomers, that the wrong and undeserv
ing ones may not be helped,’doing
them harm instead of good, but turn
not aside the honest, deserving ones
There is nobody but what ought to be
doing something for others. Every one
should ever consider that it is best to
have a good heart. Having tills it will
prompt os not only to be doing for
others bnt it will encompass many vir
tues. We would counsel our friends
and aU others to seize every opportu
nity of doing something good to our
neighbors and associates, and the stran
ger as well. Sometimes a smile will
do it, & kind word, a look of sympathy,
whioh may be of more value to some
hearts than silver or gold. Speak a
kind word to Skiff, the jewel.r, and
give him a share of yonr patronage, for
wbioh he will be very thankful. All
kinds of watch and jewelry repairing
done promptly and as it ought to be.
