BEATEN AND ROBBED.
A Negro is Assaulted and Relieved of
Twenty-Five Dollars.
Last Friday about dusk, near
McGinnis, on the East & West rail
road, a negro was attacked and
robbed of $25.00. He was beaten
into insensibility and was left for
dead.
The attacking party was another
negro. The two fell in with each
other at Rockmart and traveled
together from there to McGinnis,
The would be assassin had seen the
other draw the money and planned
for its possession. When they
neared the home of the victim the
scoundrel, without a moment of
warning, dealt a fearful blow on his
head with a bludgeon and rained
another and another until the man
was beaten into insensibility.
Then snatching the money from his
pockets he made off and hasn’t been
seen since. The wounded man
was able to give but little infor
mation about the matter, his as
sailant being an entire stranger
to him. The name of the negro
who was assaulted we were unable
to learn, but the above information
was given to the reporter by sev
eral parties from the neighborhood
who have been in town.

Death of Airs. Nancy Jones.
At the home of her son, Colonel
C. M. Jones, near Emerson, Mrs.
Nancy L. Jones died last Monday
night. She was in her 85th year,
having been horn in 1805. She was
the mother of several children, only
one of whom is now living. She
has now living 18 grand-children
and 60 great-grandchildren.
The funeral occurred yesterday
at the Emerson Methodist church,
of which she was a member. She
has given sixty-eight years of her
life to Christ, all of which time she
has ever been faithful to her sacred
vows. The fruits of such a life will
long live after her. All of her chil

and all of the grand-children are
now members. Truly a good wo
man has gone. Peace to her ashes.

A Pleasant Entertainment.
A unique and pleasant entertain
ment was given at the opera house
last Tuesday evening by the ladies
of the Methodist church. It con
sisted of sacred songs, instrumen
tal music, and the building of the
missionary ship. The latter was a
charming story admirably illus
trated. It began with the laying of
the keel, and as each plank gave
the vessel shape and each equip
ment was placed a child gave an
expression of some Christian virtue.
When it was finally completed, with
sails set, ready to start for the be
nighted shores, representatives of
heathen lands, in the persons of the
young ladies, made appeals for the
sending of the word of God to the
souls that were perishing in these
countries. The story so beautifully
told carried with it a most impres
sive lesson.
The opera house was filled on this
occasion and the entertainment
was a great financial success.
