MURDERERS HAVE
NOT BEEN FOUND.
THE MYSTERY OF GEORGE WOR
THEN’S DEATH HAS NOT BEEN
CLEARED Ul’-DEPLORABLE
AFFAIR.
The coroners inquest over the
body of .young George Worthen
who was killed Tuesday morning
of last week was held last Thursday
and the result of its findings was
that he came to his death at the
hands of parties unknown. The
inquest was held behind closed
doors.
A postmortem examination of
the body revealed the fact that
he came to his death from a gun
shot wound. He was shot from
behind with a shot gun, the whole
back of his head being blowed
out and ahole made in which a
doublefist could be placed.
The funeral and burial occurred
at the family burial grounds near
Piedmont last Friday and was
attended by a large concourse of
friends and relatives who gathered
to pay their respects to the mortal
remains of the deceased young
man and it was an exceedingly sad
interment.
The details of the murder were
were about as was reported last
week and it was a very horrible
affair and there are various
theories as to the manner in
which it came about and as to the
perpetrators of the deed, but the
exact truth of the matter will
probably never be revealed, al
though every effort has been
made to find the guilty parties.
The murder was a most brutal
one and it is one of the most
deplorable things that has hap
pened in our county in a long
time. The murderer if ever dis
covered should he punished to
i the fullest extent of the law. The
! family of the'deceased have the
sympathy of the people. Mr. Wor
then was well known here,being a
j graduate of Gordon Institute and
was a frequent visitor to this
city, and he numbered his friends
by the the score. He was also
prominent in business circles hav
ing considerable interests and
property at Piedmont and in
that vicinity. It will be remem
bered that his store at that place
was burned several months ago
and it is very probable that the
same party was the perpetrator of
both deeds. It is to be hoped
that the person who is guilty of
these crimes will he apprehended.

PROGRESSIVE
ENTERPRISE.
BARNKS VILLE PLANING MIU, CO.
FORGING AHEAD IN THEIR
LINE OF BUSINESS.
One of the institutions of Barnes
ville, which has enjoyed pros
perity to a degree that is rather
remarkable during the past year
or two, particularly during the
past twelve months, is the Barnes
ville Planing Mill Cos. a firm com
posed of Judge W. A. Prout, Mr.
B. M. Turner and Mr. L. S.
Fifield. Notwithstanding the fi
nancial misfortunes which over
took this community some months
ago, this firm went right on in
creasing their business and recent
ly the plant has been greatly im
proved and the capacity largely
increased. The old wooden build
ings have been replaced with new
brick ones, a magnificent new and
much larger boiler put in, the
machines moved from the second
to the first floor, in fact the equip
ment of the entire plant has been
very much improved in every way.
In a short time, the Central will
put in a spur track for the accom
modation of the business, which
will be another important advan
tage.
One of the chief departments of
this industry now is the manu
facture of buggy bodies. This
department is equipped with the
most up-to-date machinery and
already a fine trade has been built
up, so that already several of the
largest buggy factories in the
state are supplied by the Barnes
ville Planing Mill Cos. Several
hundred bodies are made and ship
' ped weekly to the various factories
| and cities of the state.
The people of this city and com
munity rejoice over the prosperity
and growth of this worthy insti
j tion.
$2OO Will Be
Given Away.
I
} Messrs. W. 11. Baird & Cos. have
; inaugurated a guessing contest
similar to the one recently held
| by the Atlanta Constitution. They
will give away $2OO dollars in
prizes to the guessers at the num
ber of bales of cotton weighed at
their warehouse next season. The
conditions of the contest are ex
plained in a large ad in this issue
of the Nkwh-Ga.zette and every
body should read it. The contest
is open to everybody. It is a great
thing and will prove a benefit to
the people by distributing $2OO
dollars in good hard cash among
them. This firm is composed of
hustlers and are doing a big bus
iness. Be sure to look into the
contest and get some guesses as
one is liable to get the prize money
as another and it is open to all.
