! FROM THE COUNTY SEAT.
Ci.i.nton, Ga. Nov. 20th.
There occurred near Round Oak
last Wedesday morning, the 18th
inst., a regular throat cutting. It
from t he evidence at tho com
jmitjnent trial, held on Friday,
that the colored people gave what
is known as a church festival at
Rocky Mount church, About
three o’clock the festival was over.
and a tire was built in front of
the church door, where several of
the negroes bocamo engaged in
that popular game among negroes
known as “skin.” Among otli-
ors there were Bold Norwood uud
Joe Henry Braswell engaged in
the play. During the game a <1 is-
l>ute arose over a nickle, when
Norwood hit Braswell with a rock,
and said to him, G—d d—m you.
I am going to kill you. Then the
two men clinched, and Braswell
h 'gan to use his knife freely
about the head, neck and breast
of Norwood. After the fight
'
opened the other negroes began to
run, and Braswell, after cutting
Norwood to the ground, ran off,
but did not attempt to escape the
officers. We have up to date,
been unable to ascertain what the
verdict of the Coroner’s jury was.
At the commitment Braswell was
sent to jail to await the action of
the grand jury upon the charge
of murder. Braswell lias not yet
employed counsel.
Air. Joseph Shannon is on the
sick list this week.
Col. Calhoun and Mr. AY. F.
Clirisiian left on Alonday for the
Atlanta exposition, Before leav¬
ing they telegraphed to know if
the L ot logs were alright in case
they were shipwrecked.
Dr. Scale left this .morning for
the North Ga. conference, where
we wish him a nice time and an
appointment such as he desires.
AVe hear that Geo. Parsley has
bought a house and hit at Round
Oak and will make that his home.
The school teachers of the
county all feel good, as Saturday
Was pay day.
Mr. J W. Turk, of Round Oak,
was in town one day last week
AVill the Editor make some in¬
quiries of the James correspon¬
dent- as to the whereabouts of Dr.
0 C Gibson, who use to come to
see us, but who has now absented
himself for more than a month?
Dr. J AV Anderson and wife r
Missis Sal lie and Dotie Holland
took in tho Atlanta exposition
last week.
Col. Lester is the latest entry
we have,heard of for legislative
honors.
Clinton desires to buy about
six nice fat young turkeys for
Thanksgiving.
AVe are not in a position to
speak well of traveling agents—
having been humbuged several
times by them, but we are not so
prejudiced as to condemn them all
for the short comings of even a
majority, for there are gentleman¬
ly agents with good and useful ar¬
ticles for sale, and if wo can
judge from the verdict of the la¬
dies (and who wants higher au¬
thority) Air. J L Hadaway, a
resident of the county, has in his
quilting machine an article of
merit, and when once used be¬
comes a household necessity. Give
him an opportunity to show his
quilting attachment and you will
be convinced that its no humbug.

Afany merchants are well aware
that their customers are their best
friends and take pleasure in sup¬
plying them with the best goods

mention Perry & Cameron, prom¬

Nearly all of the cotton lias
been picked out and sold,
where the money has gone to no
ore knows. Most of the corn,
peas, sweet potatoes and goobers
have boon housed, and the tann¬
ers are now making syrup, *md as

soon he through with that job;
then the order of the day will lie
to cut and haul up wood lor the.

f , ....
the Georgia railroad company
has become so rich that it has ta-
ken the telegraph away irom us;
another reason for it is tlmt they
wanted to give friend I)ut!'y a lit-
tie more time to hunt birds.
On tho night of the 18th mst a
< 0011 was trying to steel a ride on
the night train for Augusta amt
instead of getting the ride he lost
a leg and an arm. W J Marsh,
Charley kmslov. and some other
men heard him calling for help,
and when they reached him found
one foot cut off and. an arm badly
mashed. Dr. OC Gibson and Dr.
II J Williams, of Macon, amputa¬
ted both leg and arm. The next
day the railroad company had
him sent to Thompson, where he
lives.
Died, on the 15th inst., Black
Beauty. How come her to die or
what she died for no one can tell.
She was young, web cared for and
in fine order. Her owner, T AV
Duffy, is now at a loss—he does
not know what lie is to do for
another horse, as lie thinks there
is not another one like Black
Beauty.
Departed this life, on the loth
inst., partner’s celebrated Kitch-
in’s sow. What for she wanted
to go dead and leave nine little
pig-a-wigies is more than any one
knows. Friend Duffy and part¬
ner lias the sympathy of the
whole community.
AVillie Godard, Charlie and
Geno Bragg and Gene Smith hoar¬
ded tho train here last week for
Atlanta to take a peep at the ex¬
position.
Air. E- T Morton, of AlortonV
Station, boarded the train here
one day last week for the city of
parks. It was a business trip
made by a business man.
And they tell us that Hie big G.
has captured one of tho brightest
jewels in the county. Wo told
you all the time that we were bet¬
ting on the big G. AVe v i ll for
them a long and happy life, and
that they may never see the time
when they will repent of the step
taken on the 12lh day of Novem¬
ber 1895. Tell them if they will
come to see us that we will kill a
chicken and churn.
Airs Harriet Morris, her sen
Charley, and her son-in-law, Mr.
Armstrong, all of Alilledgevilic,
spent Sunday last at her brother-
in-law’s, Air. A O Blanks. Airs.
Morris was once a Jones county
girl, and a good looking one at
that. She looks now as if she
might not he over forty years old.
Bio. Seals gave us another good
sermon on Sunday last. His text
was “Am I my brother’s keeper?”
and he did justice to it. AVe do
hope that some one was benefit ted
by it. AVe heard Bro. S S Sweet
preach from the same text on the
first Sunday in September 1888,
and we were well pleased with his
discourse.
Lark Stewart left for the City
of Parks on Alonday last. He goes
to work for Lyons & Coleman for
a while. Tiiis firm lias a feed and

Gus Stewart, of Clinton, hoard¬
