Benediction was pronounced by 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, “EiderDown” and“Calla Lily” aro elegant complexion powders and arc used in many plnccB with perfect satisfaction.
