Barrow county has offered a reward of SSOO for the murderers and the brothers of the dead man have added SI,OOO to the above rewards. This makes a total of $2,100. This sum ought to run the murder ers down and result in their capture. The killing of Doster was a dastardly deed. Five or six masked men went to his house in the dead of night and shot him down, and made their escape. This deed should not rest upon the fair name of Barrow comity. Every effort is be ing made to discover the guilty par ties, and it is thought that the heavy rewards offered by the various parties will result in the capture of those who are guilty. Sheriff H. O.

However, after the laugh was over Mr. Mayne again arose with another box that contained a beautiful and appropriate present in deed. and presented it to Mr. and Mrs Pollock, as evidence of the high es-, teem in which they are held by our! people.
