A Horrible killing.
On Saturday evening last Sheriff
S. F. Edwards, of Quincy, Fla., who
was conducting a negro prisoner
from Faoeville in this county to Oof-
fee county, became involved in a
difficulty with a negro on the train
and as a result both men were killed.
The last procurable information
seems to be as follows: The sheriff
boarded the train at Faeoville with
his prisoner and entered the negro
coach. At Fowltown several negroes
hoarded the train eu route to Climax,
among them one Jim Armstrong a
rather b.urley fellow. The conductor
came through taking up tickets and
after some words with limy negro
secured his. The negro was di ink
ing and demanded that Mr. Edwatds
be removed from the negro coach.
Hu then began insisting m a very
insulting way that Mr. Edwards
leave the our. Mr. Edwards replied
that he was in charge of a negro
prisoner in the car and that he would
not do so. Borne words followed and
the negro whipped out a pistol. Sever
al shots were fired and the men clinch
ed. In the struggle that followed
the shooting was continued and the
two men finally fell from the moving
tram to the ground, where they were
bom afterward found dead or in a
dying condition.
The train men tearing further
trouble ran on to Climax a few miles,
put off their negro passengers and
went back, taking both men on
board.
The negro who was in charge of
the sheriff was taken to this place
and lodged in jail, while the remains
of dead Sheriff Edwards were shipped
to Chattahoochee for interment.
Several stories of the shooting are
alloat but tae above appears to be
the most reasonable one and nearest

There is no chance, no destiny, no fata,
Can circumvent or hinder or control
The firm resolve of a determined soul.
Gifts count for nothing; will alone is
great;
All things give way before it soon or late.
What obstacle can stay the mighty force
Of the s«a seeking river iu its couise,
Oroausethe ascending orb of day to
wait,?
Each well-born soul must win what it
desires,
Let the fool prate of luck. The fortunate
Is he whose earnest purpose never
swerves.
Whose slightest, action or inaction serves
The one great aim,
Why even death stands still
And waits an hour sometimes for such a
wid.
--Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
Tin Eiaaon Why.
I heard a story lately, whi:h I think is to the truth. It was believed at first
very queer!
And Robert's self waso 1 my lap. his lips
were at my ear—
“A dreadful, dreadful story—” a sudden,
awful pause —
“Somebody said the other day there ain’t
no Santa Claus. ^
“Would you believe it, auntie? 1 hey said
’twas all a trick , . .
About the tiny reindeer and the visits of I best bundles ol Quincy
Saint Nica.
That all the chimneys were too small,
the stoves were all too hot.
d Ami lots u! just such stuff as that. 1 can’t
remember what.
that tlie five negroes who boarded
the train at Fowltown were impli
cated and that it was their purpose
to rescue the prisoner. However,
this story is not credited.
The dead sheriff was of one ot ike
and held a
reputation for being one ot the most
aithful and efficient officers iu his
state.
