We lmve had two nice rains, one Sat urday and one Sunday, and the little cotton and corn looks like it is grow ing half a foot in a night. It is very sad to mention the death of Mis. Isaac Strickland, who was loved by everybody. She died last Friday night at 0 o’clock and was buiied Sunday. She died of cancer. Mrs. James Riggins died last Wednes day. J. C. Freeman, of Atlanta, visited Bachelor Hall a few days last week. James always brings a pleasant smile whenever he comes. Capt. \\. II, Hartnett is spending a few days in Griffin. D. N.

And they got from him and as they did he slammed one of them against a tree and then they let in to shooting, and after shooting several shots they then run off, and wbilo they were in the house if he had not thrown up the gun they would have killed his wife. His leg ! is broken all to pieces from the ankle | to the knee, and his half ' up arm way from elbow to hand is shivered up and his head is full of shot and two or three in his ear and they gave him one lick on tLe bead. They were all black. He was turned loose from Capt. James’ ebaingang about the middle of December last, where he had served twenty years. He was sent for killing a black boy. Tuey were gambling, and he taking up the mouey and as he run Green shot him. He.was not sent for rape,as everybody says; no sir, he was sent for killing his own color, and thinks that the parties that had bim up now were black.He is trying to get np money to send to Macon after a doctor. The writer will here state from the best information that cau be got that the whole eight men were negroes and not white men, nor were from Macon either; it was negroes in the settle ment and no doubt bis wife was the cause of all of it; sbe is a noted char liner.

That such ac on tho part of those members council was childish and beneath dignity of true men, who were to legislate for tho best inter of the city and not to vent mal against one of the strongest arms protection which Gtiffiu has Firo Co. No. 2. And tho council may forget the best of the city, yet Stonewall 2 will ever be found battling for and her widwurc Therefore it resolved, That Stonewall has the right to her apparatus to Americus, yet f ' l that the protection of Griffin dearer to us than our desire for Wo wiil therefore leave engiro and a sqtffld of efficient to guard and protect Griffin, we go to Americus with our wheel reel and a small number participate in the tournament.
