Negro Kills Two And
Wounds A Third.
Sunday afternoon at William
son, Sandy Dickinson shot and
instantly killed Andrew Hood and
his son, Ed Hood, and fatally
wounded Will Jones.
The shooting occurred in a store
room, where Andy Dickinson and
his brother Will were reported to
be selling liquor. There was an
old grudge between the two par
ties, and a dispute rose over the
paying for a five cent drink, ac
cording to reports. Dickinson
shot each of his victims in the
back of the head.
The murderer at once escaped,
but was captured about dark that
evening by Sheriff Milner and a
posse at the gin house on the
place of Spence Marsh, where
he was employed, covered almost
entirely up in cotton seed. He
was carried to Zebulon and placed
in jail.
Dickinson claims that Ed Hood,
a son of Andrew Hood and Will
Jones, his son-in-law, were ad
vancing on him with an open
knife, but his statement is not
believed.
A negro singing was being held
at Mt. Liberty, near the scene of
the shooting, and all the negroes
fled to the woods in their excite
ment.

WHIT HUFF DIES.
PROMINRNT YOUNG MAN OIKS IN
KOMK, FHU> AY MORNING,
CAUSING GKKAT SORROW
IN THIS COMMUNITY.
Mr. Whitfield E. Huff, son of
Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Huff, of
Barnesville, died at his home in
Rome, Ga., last Friday morning,
after a short illness. The sad an
nouncement came as a great shock
to the people of Barnesville, and
much sympathy has been express
ed for the bereaved family.
“Whit,” as every body here
knew him and called him was
one of the brightest, most lova
ble and most prominent young
men who ever grew up in this
community. For quite awhile he
was connected with the agency of
the Central railroad at Barnes
ville, after which he was given a
verv responsible position at Rome,
where he has been for several
years past. He was in his thirty
third year, was a hard worker,
made friends rapidly and there
fore promotions came his way
easily. It is exceedingly sad to
think of him as dead. He leaves
a wife to mourn his loss. They
lost a little child last year.
The funeral and burial took
place in Rome Saturday.
The Rome Tribune, last Sat
urday, contained the following
notice of Mr. Huff’s death :
“Mr. Whitfield Emerson Hull'
is no more.
“The end came to the young
man yesterday morning at 8
o’clock, and this announcement
will be read with profound sorrow
by hundreds of friends.
“Mr. Huff had only been ill a
week, but since Wednesday it was
known that his life could not be
saved, and all hope was given up
for his recovery.
“Mr. Huff was well and favora
bly known in Rome and had been
a resident of this place for eleven
years. He came here from
Barnesville and entered the serv
ice of the Chattanooga, Rome and
Southern railroad, now the Cen
tral of Georgia, of which road he
was still in the employ when he
was stricken with illness. Wnen
the road changed hands he was
made chief clerk to Superintod
ent Wilburn, and was a thor
oughly posted railroad man.
“Mr. Huff was about 88 years of
age and lived an exemplary life.
He stood high in railroad circles
and had the confidence of his em
ployers.
“Mr. Huff leaves a father,
mother, a wife and one sister to
mourn his loss.”
Mrs. Blasingame Dead.
Mrs. T. J. Blasingame, of Zebu
lon, died last Saturday at her home
in Zebulon, after an illness of
several months. She was a woman
well known in the county and
much loved.
She lived a consistent Christian
life and her death is mourned by
many friends.
The Sunday School Picnic.
The Sunday School picnic was
held last Friday at Trice’s spring
and it was quite a success. There
was a large attendance, a magnifi
cent dinner and a royal good time.
There was an abundance of fine
lemonade, the weather was splen
