A special from Birmingham says:
“Eighteen years Ago George Green and
Henry Smith, farmers, living in Colbert
county, Alabama, had a fight and Green
shot Smith. The wound was not con
sidered dangerous at first, but Smith re
covered slowly. Finally he moved out
of the county with his family, and a
few months later his wife and son came
back and reported that Smith had died
from the < ffeefs of the wound. They
mt before the grand jury and had
Green indicted for murder. He was
tried, convicted and sentenced to life
imprisonment. For several years Green
has been confined at 1 he Pratt coal mines
near this city. Some time ago his wife
heard that Smith was still alive. Green
succeeded in interesting a member of
the state board of prison inspectors in
his case. The inspector went to work
and soon found Smith at Dallas, Ga.,
" here he has lived for several years. As
soon as the legal formalities are compli
ed wh h, Green will be released from
f ■risen.”
Jasper County News.—A certain Jus
ti -e of the peace in this neighborhood
was lecently called on for the first time
to ue the matrimonial knot. The happy
couple ( •o’ red) came forward and l.e
r e ' <• <1 with the ceremony as follows:
T > Mi' :r > v.n—“have you from having
se n the crime committed formed or ex
press? 1 any opinion for or against the
,
p isoner at the bar? Are you opposed to
capital punisment?” The same queries
were presented to the bride. Each as
sented by a movement of the head: he
pronounced them man and wife and
t!»• y went their way rejoicing.
Tni Recorder says: It is estimated that
at h ast three hundred people from
Americas attended the meetings at the
Go->pol lent and the Buck creek camp
meeting on Sunday last. There were
between twenty-live hundred and three
thousand people at each place.

To the People of Schley and Adjoining Counties.
I keep constantly on hand a well assorted stock of
groceries, plantation and family supplies, of every de
scription.
I have near the depots, a large brick warehouse, with
side-track facilities, where my heavy goods are stored,
and the economy and convenience of receiving and for
warding, enables me to give as low, if not lower prices
than any one.
I will always have in season a good stock of Iron ties,
twine, Cotton and jute bagging, enough to supply the
wants of all.
An experience of twenty two years in the grocery trade
helps me to anticipate the wants of the trading public,
especially the farmers.
Special attention paid to filling orders by mail.
