JULIETTE.
Last Saturday night in Forsyth,
about 7 o’clock, Jesse Pledger, col
ored, was stabbed to death by Hen
ry Hill, also colored.
On account of the high water of
the Ocmalgee river, the Juliette
Milling and ('.lover Manufacturing
Company suspended operations at
their grist mill here and at their
factory across the river at Glovers
for several days.
Mrs. Raleigh B. Bowdoin and
Master Herbert McGee, the young
• sou of Mr. and Mrs. J. F. McGee,
of this city, who have been danger
ously ill for some time, and for
whose recovery considerable appre
hension has been entertained, are
now greatly improved and will re
cover.
The recent presentments of the
Monroe county Grand Jury con
tuned a very strong endorsement of
lion. (). 11. B. Bloodworth, of For
syth, candidate for Congress from
the Sixth Congressional district It
was one of the strongest endorse-
ments and warmest commendations
of a candidate ever made by a
Monroe county (fraud Jury.
It will Ire pleasant news to the
many friends throughout the State
of I)r. K. C. Goolsby, of Forsyth,
one of Monroe county’s most prom
inent and successful physicians and
surgeons, who lias been in Atlanta
for some time receiving medical at
tention for kidney trouble, to know
that lie lias returned to his home
greatly improved in health.
()ue of the biggest celebrations of
Washington's birthday ever held in
Monroe county was pulled off at
Cabaniss school house, near this
city, several days ago. Several
hundred people attended the exer
cises, which lasted for several
hours. A fine programme had been
arranged for the occasion, and the
building was profusely decorated
with Hags and bunting.
Announcement has reached this
city that Hon. O. 11. B. Blood
worth, of Forsyth, and Hon. J. J.
Flynt, of Griffiu, Congressional
candidates from the Sixth Con
gressional district, will engage in
many joint discussions throughout
the district,during the campaign.
No dates and places have yet been
assigned for the debates. Both
Col. Flynt and Col. Blood worth are
able speakers, and the discussions
between them will no doubt attract
great crowds.
Owing to heavy rains throughout
this section, the Ocmulgee river at
this jxunt reached last Tuesday af
ternoon the highest point in a num
ber of years. The river overflowed
its banks and considerable damage
was done to crops growing along
rts banks. The Tovvaliga river,
near this city, is said to have been
higher than it has been in ten years.
The rains throughout this section
Sor the past several days were the
heaviest in many years, and lands
were terribly washed.
A colored highway robber is said
to be in hiding in the Towaliga
river swamps, about half way be
tween Juliette and Berner, a station
on the Southern Railway, five miles
noth of this city, near the bridge
which spans the river. He is said
to be the negro who killed auothe.
negro at Brent, in Monroe county,
several miles west of here, smut
time ago. Since the murder he has
been in hiding in the Towaliga
swamps, and no one crosses the
bridge at night without being heav
ily armed. No one is reported as
having been robbed by the negro
so far, but it is thought that he is
only waiting for a favorable oppor
tunity to do so. Several people
have seen him near the bridge
lately. He is said to be heavily
armed.
An attempt was made Saturday
night to wreck I’assenger Train NY.
H) on the Southern Railway, which
Deft Atlanta at 5:30 o'clock, be
tween Jackson and Flovilla. Cross
ties had been placed on the track
aud the engine hurled the first
erosstie from the track, the passen
gers being badly jolted by the im
pact. The train had progressed
but a few yards when the engineer
jbaw another crosstie at the ap
proach to a high trest e just in time
to stop the engine before it struck
the obstacle. The striking of thi
crosstie would have probably re
sulted in the de. ailment of the en
tire train and the death and serious
injury of passengers.
While sitting at the supper table
early last Saturday night Mr. John
Turner, a highly respected farmer
of Jo: es county, accidentally let a
pistol drop from his pocket, with
the result that his wife was shot
and instantly killed. During the
afternoon Mr. Turner had had some
trouble with a negro hand on the
place, and he had taken the pre
caution to place a pistol in his
pocket. While seated at the sup
per table Saturday night someone
knocked on the door, and thinking
that probably it might be the negro
wishing to give him some trouble,
he pulled his pistol from his pc cket
when he arose from the table. In
some way he let the weapon drop
to the floor, with the result that it
was discharged and his wife killed.
The only words she uttered after
b dug shot were: “John, you have
shot me, but you did it accident
ally.” So grieved was Mr. Turner
over the terrible tragedy t lat lie
tried to take his own life. He
placed the muzzle of his revolver
to his forehead and snapped it sev
eral times, and would have proba
bly killed himself if his father had
not previously taken the cartridges
out of the pistol. "I he funeral serv
ices of Mrs. Turner were held at
Round Oak Sunday morning and
were attended by a large crowd of
friends and relatives.
