A HI
CHRISTMAS
la COMING, AND
Killing In Leo Conut j.
Albany Neva.
Information comes to us of tho
killing of ■ negro named John
Walter., on Saturday night, iu the
Redbone district or. Lee county,
by young Joe Wallers, It seems
that young Walters;,’ (he deceased
aud two other negroes were in a
crib shucking corn, when n difficul
ty of some sort arose between the
white boy and the negro. It was
sosudden in its nature that 1 the
other negroes did not know of its
occurrence. The first intimation
they bad of it was seeing the negro
lying dead from the etfeet of a
knife wound. He bad en ear of
corn grasped in bis hand; and It Is
supposed he pas in the attitude of
striking young Walters with it
when he was killed.
We learn, further, that the negro
bore a bad reputation in the dis
trict for quanelsomeness.
Our informant states that the
above are all the facts in the case
known In the neighborhood, and
the causes of the killing are alto
gether a matter of coujuctnre.
As far as is known, no-arrest has
been made,, , ,, , , ,
* * - AV Ol4 Tale ‘/ohrevhl ^
Jonesboro, Ga., News.
Some twenty years ago a num
ber of jolly boys caught a buzzard
in Augusta, Ga.. and belled him.
Shortly afterwards the identical
buzzard was seen in New York
city, and lie has been turning .up
ever eince, at different! times, in
different places, and we are not
eure bnt he line visited Switzerland
and other foreign lands during the
past twenty yoars. . A short while
ago the said buzzard was seen to
fly over Home, and one day last
week be paid w visit-to tho farm of
Mr. Jack Hamrick, a few miles
from town. He was carrying his
bell with him, and filled the air
with musio as he swiftly sped on
bis way. So say tho neighbors,
and we have no right to disbelieve
them. The question whiok arrises
in.our mind is, “How long is the
average life of a buzzard?”

Hlx Stulfed Game Roosters.
Wasiiinoton.Dco. 8.—Six stuffed
game roosters of different breeds,
each handsomely mounted, arrived
in a large box at thecapitoi to day.
Each rooster bore the name of one
of the six Democratio Representa
tives from Michigan. They wore
the gift of a firm in Port Huron,
Mich. All six will appear on the
desks of tho six Michigan Demo
crat* in the Houso to-morrow.
Tho labels on tho roostor* wore
all of local eignifloance, except that
on the rooBter addressed to Mr.
Yapio, the young tariff reformer,
over whom Mr. Burrows was elect-
ed by a email majority. Tho In
scription qp this ran ; “This cook
was beaten by a bird with more
wind and heavier feet, but he’s
game yet.” More wind and heavier
feet fits Julius Gmsar Burrows like
a glove. , ,, ..w
