Up<>n a Ten Vrar Old White Girl.
Mr. L. P. Coker is a hard working
tenant upon the farm of Col. near
the Floyd county line above Kingston,
and has a wife and three children, two
girls and a boy.
Wednesday morning of ia3t we k, Mrs.
Coker instructed her eldest girl, Fannie,
to put the cows into the pasture which
she proceeded to do being accompanied
by her little brother and sister. When
some distance from the house the trio
were met by Dave Pratt, a most repulsive
looking negro, who grabbed Fannie, who
is overgrown for her age, and proceeded
by fearful threats to accomplish his hell
ish purpose. He dragged her off down
the road, and the other children ran to
the house to inform their mother, the
girl, Fannie, loudly screaming all the
while. The fiend in human shape be.
came alarmed, released the girl and
hurreily left the vicinity. The news
spread and the community becoming in
stantly alarmed, a posse was organized
and started in pursuit of the rascal. He
was followed in the dirrection of Rome,
and was arrested in that city by Police
man Caleb Dempsey. He was carried
before little Fannie Coker, who was pos
itive in her recognizance of her would-be
destroyer.
II; was taken before Justice Watters,
ot Rome, and bounded over to our Supe
rior Court, now in session, and was
lodged in our jail Sunday morning,
'fhe prisoner was a mo3t repulsive look
ing, and from what we can 'earn he was
simply tramping around :he country,
stealing when he could. He ha i been
given Ins breakfast near by the place of
his assault on Fannie Coker on the
morning of the assault. We do not favor
lynch law’, always willing that justice
should take its course, but a lesson
taitght characters ot this ilk, would
be very aati-factory, we think. Pratt
takes his confinement with the least con
cern possible and doesn’t seem to care a
straw how things workout in his casm
Little Fannie Coker b fore the Justice,
made the fallowing statement:
“ This is the man, pointing to the negro
Pratt, who had hold ot me. I was stand
ing at the mile post on the big road be
low ihe house, waiting for the cows to
come from the creek before I put them in
the pasture field. My mother had sent
me and my little sister to put the cows
in the pasture, when the negro c ane up
to us and asked u - how many mules and
dogs father ha 1 and whether father was
at home and where,fie was, and who was
at the house. The negro then took hold
of me and drug me about ten sffips and
then told me if I hollowed and didn’t
come d— me, he would kill me. My
brother and sister ran to the house to tell
mother. Me were out of sight, of the
house. The negro tlu n took me down
the road about a quarter of a mile and
said he was going grape hunting. He
then held my left hand and made me get
down and untie his shoe. One shoe had
a cloth string iu it and the other one a
leather string. While I was down he let
me go and ran off down the road. I ran
towards home, when I heard my mother
calling me. That is all I know, lie is
the negro.
COLKT COMMENT.
Tiie third week of the January term
of Bartow Superior court commenced last
Honda j 1 morning, Judge J. C. Fain pre
siding.
The esa-nd jury was organized by mak
ing Capt. H. J. McCormick foreman, and
J. C. Tumlin, clerk. It is a splendid body
of men.
Judge Fain’s charge to the grand jury
was clear and explicit, covering alt the
grounds required by the law to be touched
upon.
The court began the call of the ciyil
docket as soon as the juries had Gen
organized. The first case call’d was that
of Mr . L E. Price, vs. W. T. Wofford and
R. L. Griffin, claimant; claim withdrawn
by claimants attorney’s before the jury
retired to make up tJnir verdict. The
next case called was that of the Georgia
Railroad and B mking Company vs. J. M.
Moon, receiver, Mrs. W. A. Bradly, et. al.
This is a lengthy case and will probably
not be finished until this morning. After
the comple'ion of this case, the court will
call the ease of the State vs. Mary Sim
mons, charged with murder, which was
set specially for a hearing to-day. Mary
Simmon? will b ; remembered as the girl
who m intend her stepfather some time
during the month of December last. The
circumstances make a very aggravated
case and will prohaply result iu a neck
stretching. Cols. ft. VY. Murphey and
She! y A;tawny represents tiie defendant
and will see that she gets every right
guaranteed to her by the 1 uv.
The dynamite cas s have been set
specially for next Monday, add the trials
will certain y begin then uni S3 for
Providential cause.
The follow ing cases w ere disposed of
last week which have not been reported :
The state vs. Dan. Gorge, charged with
obstructing the railroad track, mistrial;
state vs. Dunk Edwards, charged, as an
accomplice in the burning of B iily Bar
ton’s barn, verdict guilty, sentence fifteen
years in the penitentiarr ; s*ate vs. Wess
Fuller, simple larceny, verdict guilty,
sentence twenty-five dollars or six
months in the chain-gang; Carrie E.
Bell vs. Biy is E. Be 1, libel for divorce,
ast verdict, total dh o ce for both parties ;
C T. Vaughan ys. Martha C. Vaughan,
libel tor divorce, verdict, tota' diynsce.
The court took a recess from Friday
evening to Monday morning.
So icitor General Harris had a fie and day
of it last week, on y oneacquitta and one
mistrial out of a tota of twelve prisoners
tiled. A pretty good showing. Indeed
the Cherokee circuit can boast of one of
the ablest and most successfu so icitor’s
in the state. He is a terror to evil doers.
Judge George Ilii yer and liis brother
Henry, of At ant,a, are in attend nice upon

The grand jury is finding some hi Is of
importance this week.
Judge Fain disp itched business last week
with a rush. A 'arge number of oasis
were disposed of. He enters upon the
w ork of the court this week with the same
determination to c ear as many cases
from the docket as possib e. At the con
e usion of this term there wi t like ybe
an immense ho e iu the heap of cases now
pending- The work of the court israpid
yglining on the accumulation ol new
liu.Tr.ess, and a t the piesent rate, the
work of Barton' Superior court wi 1 soon
be up.
The children’* meeting at the Baptist Church
last Sunday w.°s largely attended, and was very
interesting. These meetings will be held every

Esciitng ;>r:i)i lit the Court Ituom.
R. L. Jones, the West E id marshal,
who billed Frank P. Gray, after a trial
of a week’s duration, was acquitted of
the charge of murder in Atlanta
Monday.
The deceased wss well known in this
county and throughout this section of
the Stale, and it w, s natural that much
interest w>is manifested in the trial of his
slayer. We succeeded in giving our
readers last week a full report of the
tiial up to the time of going to press.
Up to the time of closing the case the
testimony was nearly allot litre charac
ter, the defense endeavoring to prove
that the deceased was an overbearing
man find dispo ed to impose upon any
one be con kb The verdict was heard
here Tuesday morning eat ly and was
commented upon by everylody, many
thinking that it just while others
though, Jones should have been pun

published in the Constitution, beggared .
description and when the verdict w’as
rendere ; those iu the c mrt-room could
not. hold their enthusiasm, and for a
while the loom was a perfect pandemo
nium.
THE actions of the jury.
The jury was given the case Saturday
night at 11 o’clock. They remained
closeted until 4 o’clock Monday after
noon.
It was precisely 4 o’clock when an om
inous rap, rap, rap, was heard at the
door of the jury room. A bailiff poked
in his head to inquire what was wanted.
“We desire to render our verdict,”
the foreman said.
“Send for the judge aid lawyers,”
cried the deputy sheriff.
Bailiffs started out iu various direc
tions to summon Judge Clark, the court
officers aid the lawyers engaged iu the
case. A hum of voices fil ed the room.
“Quiet must be preserved in the
court-room,” screamed a functionary.
A few minutes later the attorneys,
puffing aid blowiug and with red fices,
rushed into the room. About five min
utes after Judge Clark came. The hum
of voices had grown louder.
“Order shall be preserved,” yelled a
formidable bailiff as he faced the crowd,
most of whom would not sit down.
“Call the jury,” said the judge.
Al! eyes were directed toward .Jones,
his wife and baby. Toe supreme mo
ment had come.
The scene was painful. The prison
er’s face looked like the face of the dead.
His wife o.ie.v cl se to him and bent
forward over hi-, chair., She appeared
as if she would faint. At that moment
the slayer of Gray had the sympathy of
nearly every person iu the room.
Even Solicitor-General Hill, who has
prosecuted the c iso so f lithfuily, consci
entiously and ably, turned his eyes from
a scene too punful to look upon. The
jurymen filed into their places.
The court asked: “Mr. Foreman, are
you agree! upon a verd'cf?”
“Yes, sir,” was the laconic response.
“Mr. Hill, receive the verdict,” di
rected Judge Clarke.
The foreman rose and handed the
solicitor general the boMc, the nectie, tiie
color, the rock and pistol, which had
been put iu evidence, and beneath them
all was the indictment.
Mr. Hill took all the articles and laid
them -upon his desk. Then he held up
the record. *
A TOUCHING SCENE.
There was a momeufs pur e as he
deciphered the writing, and he then read
in a clear, firm voice:
“The .-.tale against ft. L. Jones, in
dicted for murder —not guilty.”
Simultaneously with the utterance of
these words, freighted wdit life, liberty
and hope, tiie woman at the prisoner’s
side threw herself upou bis breast and
wept f>r jov. Tiie husband tenderly
hut rapturously embraced his helpmeet,
while one of the closest friends took the
b and e.
Then Jones, almsst overcome with a
sense of his freedom, cried: “Thank God,
thank God, that I am a free man ’
He said something lse, but the tumultu -
ous cheers of the crowd drowned his voice
Nine tenths of the crowd rose to tlieir
fee and shouted In vain did bailiffs en
deavor to restore order The court and
officers were powerless to repress the noise
.of the joyous throng The defendant was
overwhelmed with congratulations of his
friends.
He seized his babe and covered it with
kisses —the babe that was born while he
was incarcerated in prison. The little one,
catching the spirit of its parents, cooed and
laughed with infantile joy Never was
such a scene witnessed in an Atlanta court
house Jones was indeed a free man, and
he lost no time in making the most of his
freedom He and his wife hurried from
the court room and descended the front
steps. On the pavement their friends had
already collected in large numbers, aud
congratulated them in the most cordial
manner upon their happy deliverence
Jones and his wife then took seats in a
phaeton and were driven rapidly to West
End, to the house of Mr A. B. Culberson,
where they were invited to spend the
night
It w r as assertained from several of the
jurors that when they first went into the
room Saturday night a poll was taken and
it was found that eignt were for acquit
tal ; three were for murder and one was
for manslaughter Saturday night late,
one of those favoring a verdict for mur
der went over to the majority Early
yesterday morning there was another con
version, aud about 3:50 o’clock yester
day afternoon the other two agreed
to acquit the accused. The last poll gave
a verdict of “not guilty.”

I have about come to the conclusion that
there is a hitch in the machinery that re
volves this little ball that we live on, and
that we have been stopped at the wrong
place, judging from the frequency cf the
cold waves and the length of their stay.
Hope the sun will soon have sufficient
power to warm up and start the machin
ery and let us get back home again,
i Yo'u have no idea how* large i,in our es-
timation) we Grassdale pople have be
come since the election. We have a real,
i live county officer and have another just
! on the suburbs, so we can’t be blamed for
thinking we are all commissioners, talking
very loud what we are going to have done
j and how much better off the county will
be. financially, when our term expires.
If Pine Log did go back on us, we got our ,
; man elected all the same, so we are under ,
no obligations to them for the futaye. The !
boy’s, I have qui’e a surprise
in ourcommissioner the day’ h“ !
is inaugurated. I must keep mum.
Mr. Will Gibbons, from Six Mile Sta-!

Mr. G. R. Gibbons. Will is one of Floyd’s j
L.ost prosperous fanners. We have known
Wi'l from boyhood, used to room with j
him at ?c.hool, where we found him a jolly j
good room mate Since coming to Geor
gia we have spent some very pleasant !■
times wiih, and beer handsomely’outer- ;
tained by him and bisestiinable wif ■. The |
only regret Is, he mak- s his visits too few
and" short.

A brother of Mr. W. W. Montgomery,

glad to say, is somewhat improved.

Dotter’s letter in last w’eek’s paper is one

Mr. Shinall thinks of having his life

cultivate. He thinks that if the agent
should see it he would refuse to insure
him.

The Sam Jones Female College.
The building committee of the Sam
Jones Female College have received the
plans and specifications for the college,
drawn by the architects, Bruce & Morgan,
of Atlanta. They are entirely satisfactory
and bids will be closed on February 24th,
the work to begin at once and be com
pleted arid re uly for occupation by early
fall. The structure will be very haiid
pome. commodious and admirably adapted
for a seminary for ySufig ladies. The
site is beautiful and elevated, being on the
high hill just w’est of the Union Taberna
cle. Market street, towards which the
college will front, is to be widened and
graded the entire length of the college
grounds. While the building will be am
ply large, the plan is so drawn that it
can be added to after completion without
destroying its symmetry, or in any way
affecting its adaption to the end in view.
The building will be 48 feet high to the
base of the tower, which is itself 50 feet
high, giving a front elevation of 98 feet.,
having two stories anu a basement. Its
length, extending north and south, will
be 82 feet, and 625 feet east and west
The foundations will be stone, the walls
brick, slate roof, and the trimmings, cor
nices, brackets and all outside ornamen
tation terracotta and galvanized iron.
The inscription plate, bearing the year
1887 and the title, “The Sara Jones Fe
male College,” will be handsomely finish
ed in red terra cotti on the second story
front at' the northeast corner of the
building.
The first floor will be occupied princi
pally by school rooms, of which there are
to be three, 25X32 teet. A hall, 8 feet wide
on one side of the building and 10 on the
other, where it opens on a broad veranda,
will cross this floor, and a corridor with
flights of stairs to the second floor wiil
extend across thi3 floor at right angles to
the hall.
The second floor will have an auditori
um 59X32 feet, besides the rostrum 32
feet ions. Another school-room of the
sant3 dimensions as those on the first
floor, a recitation room, a small r apart
ment, a wide hall containing two stair
ways leading to the attic and tower, also
occupy this story. The ventilation of the
building will be as nearly.perfect as the
best modern architecture affords, and is
designed to be heated by a fuinace. The
architects have dune some of the handsom
est work in the South, especially of this
class, and a glance at their drawings will
convince the most fastidious tiiat when
our college is completed it will not only
be a structure of architectural beauty
worthy the highest admiration, but also
an institution of which our promising city
may well be proud to boast.
To SoMiera of the Mexican War.
The passage of the hill granting pen
sions to soldiers of the Mexican War will
place a number of the citizens of Bartow
and adjoining counties on the pension
rolls of the Government. As the depart
ment considers applications in the order
in whieh they are filed, the first filed will
be the first passed upon. The sooner your
application is put on file, and your claim
established, the sooner you will get your
pension.
I have had much experience iu securing
pensions and have given the pension laws
considerable study, and feel that I am able
to give applicants valuable aid in making
out their cases. Write or call on me at
once, and give your full name, age, term
of service, number of company and regi
ment, officers of your command and your
place of residence when you enlisted, and
1 will make out at once and send you
proper form of application. Having a
first class associate in Washington City, I
am prepared to push cl dim with all pos
