HARTWELL, HART COUNTY , GA., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11 1910.
TWO NEGROES LYNCHED
NEAR MONTEZUMA, GA.
Montezuma, Ga., Nov. 8.-Bob
th e negro implicated by
vy ill Barnes as an accomplice in
the murder of Night Marshal
Bush, was taken from the jail
in Oglethorpe shortly after mid
night last night and hanged to
the same telegraph pole on which
Barnes was hanged but a few
hours before, the latter being
forcibly taken from the city jail
at Montezuma.
Barnes confessed after being
brought to Montezuma and im
plicated Bryant. The fury of
the mob was not bpent on the
lynching of Barnes, and the
keeper of the county jail at
Oglethorpe was overpowered
shortly after midnight Bryant
being taken quietly from the jail
and carried to the telephone pole
from which hung the body of
Barnes, and hanged. His body
was riddled with bullets.
The bodies of the two negroes
attracted many passers by dur
ing the day, and many from
both Oglethorpe and Montezuma
went out to view the gruesome
spectacle.
A telegram to The Telegraph
from former Mayor Joe P.
Walker says that the people of
Macon county deeply deplore the
double lynching. Superior court
was to have convened next week,
when the negroes would have
been given a speedy trial. He
states also that so far as they
know this is the first lynching
that has ever taken place in Mh
con county.
It was, however, expected that
summary justice would be meted
out to the murderer of Marshal
Bush, should he be apprehended
and brought back to Macon coun
ty. Mr. Bush -was formerly a
popular deputy sheriff and the
whole coqnty was aroused over
his murder.

unusual interest was that of Miss
Bessie Locke and Mr. Weldon

fully arranged, chrysanthemums

palms and ferns. The soft
strains of Lohengrins wedding
march was beautifully renderep
by Mrs. M. Saul. Rev. Milo H.
Massey, in his usual impressive
manner pronounced them man
and wife, leaving with them the
beautiful expression of Ruth to
Naomi.
The bride is one of the hand
somest women in this section
and admired for her many per
sonal charms. Mr. Pruitt is a
worthy and popular young busi
ness man of Royston. The hap
py couple left on the next train
tor a visit to relatives in Athens
and Atlanta, returning to their
home in Royston.
The home guests invited were,

THE JBHN H. SPARKS 7 SHOWS
Will exhibit at Hartwell After
noon and night, November 24.
The excellent reputation left
by the Sparks’ Shows on former
visits to Hartwell would alone
insure liberal patronage this
time, but the lusty growth and
vast improvements in the show
since its last visit will make it
more attractive than ever.
Sparks is a man of energy and
enterprise, wide experience and
ample capital, and he has
brought all this to bear in mak
ing his show superior to all oth
er similar exhibitions. He has
a brand new train of monster
railway cars built especially for
him, all new gorgeous cages,
dens, costly trappings, etc. He
has engaged the best talent big
salaries can procure. He has
expended over $40,000 in in
creased equipment. Every effort
has been made regardless of cost
to make his show satisfying to
his pride and advanced ideas.
That he has succeeded is- amply
proven by the way the newspa
pers speak of his exhibition
wherever he has appeared. It
is the universal verdict that he
has now the most splendid com
plete and high class exhibition
of the kind in America.
Everyone should come to town
in time to see the gorgeous
street parade at noon, and then
follow the crowd to the show
grounds and witness the big free
exhibition.
