For some time past we have been
using Holmes' Dentifrice, manu
factured by Drs. J. I*. k W. R.

prepared to say it is the best we
ever used. A regular use of it will
make the lectli pure and white,
and remove any taint in the breath
arising from bad teeth. Its use’
leaves a very plea'ant taste and
feeling in the mouth. It can be
procured ol Dr. Burt, or from
Davenport's or Eldridge's drug
stores.

“Suggestions for new work”

communities where it was thuught

HANGING AT IIAtVKON. 1
Execution of tne Negro, Oeorge j
•lonee, for Rape. j
Monday was tho day sot for the 1
oxccntion of Georgo Jones, colored,
for the crime of rape, the particu
lars of which ond his trial and
conviction tho readers of the Kb-
comma are familiar with.
For several days previous to the
exeention there bad been threats
mado by the negroes that Jones
should not hang, and it was reared
that an attempt would be made to
rescuo him. Mayor Cheatham tele*
graphed the Uovcrnor for troops,
and tho Albany Guards wore or
dered to go to Dawson and pro- I
tcct the civil officers in the dis
charge of their duty. Sunday
night the Guards left Albany on
tlie train, and when only about n
mile and a half out from the city
the train was thrown from the
track by obstructions which bad
been placed on it. They had to wait
for tho meeting of the night trains,
when they got off and arrived in
Dawson Monday morning. In ad
dition to the military the citizens
of Terrell had armed themsolves,
and tho two combined so overawed
the negroes that no attempt was
made at a rescue.
The execution took placo about
half a milo south of the public
Bquare, in a strip of woods border
ing on an old field, which spot we
believe has been the sceno of other
executions. The military formed a
square around tho gallows, and
no one was allowed inside the line
but the officers, representatives of
the press, and a few others. While
thero wore several thousand people
in town, but about fifteen hundred
went to tho scene of execution.
On tlie scaffold Jones declined
to speak. His minister, Rev.
Barney Adams, colored, stated
that Jones had admitted to him
Ills guilt and had requested him
to advise none others to follow bis
example. Adams sang a hymn and
offored prayer, after which Jones
swung and died in a few minutes.
Tho trap foil at twenty minutes to
twelve o’clock and in twenty min
utes more the lifeless body was
cut down.
Tho people of Terrell oounty are
to be congratulated that while the
punishment of tlie prisoner for
liis heinous offense was speedy and
complete, it was legal and orderly,
