It is with a feeline ol sincere regret that
we announce the death of Mies Florence
Pound, which occurred on Monday last, at
her home near Indian Springs, after a brief
illness. She was a most lovable young lady,
jast budding into womanhood, and the sad
annosneement ol her death will send a paog
of grief to many a loving heart.

While in Hampton this week we called
on our old friend, James Bledsoe, at D. B
Bivins' store. Jim is doing a fine business,
and has a host of Butts county friends, who
will always call on him when they want a
good trade. Jim is a fine business man, and
we congratulate those who may have the
good fortune to deal with him.— Butte Co.

It to currently reported that Thomas
McNair, who killed a man named Hardy at
Worthville last winter, and who has since
that time been a fugitive from justice, was
arrested last week near Macon and lodged
in jail. If the report bo true, (and we hope
it is) the gay and festive Me. will soon re
tire to the shade* of prison life, where he
can repent at leisure the murderous deed
which has made him an outlaw, and make
peace with his conscience on his own terms.
Wr leain that Wm. Parr, the man who
shot and killed Benjamin W iggins several
days ago, gave himself into the custody of
the officer* for an investigation. A large
Dumber of the citiEena in that part of the
county met at Peacbstone Sboals on last
Tuesday, where it was announced a court of
no disposition on the part of any one to
prosecute the matter, and the court being
satisfhd that there w.s not sufficient evi
dence to authorise them to convict the de
fendant, he was discharged from cut ody.
M■. Jor Bmx. who was to terribly man
gled at the stfnm gin of Mr. John Klder. in
Spalding county, died on Saturday night
last, in great agony. Our first, infermatlop
was to the effect that he would probably
rpcoe.r. We learned subsequently. however,
that hia wounds were of a more character
than we di-scrilwd, from the *ff-cts of which
he died as above stated. Dr Bank*, of
Griffin, assisted Dr. Preble* in amputating
the wounded limb. We should have men
timed this fnot lost week, but inadvertently
omitted it. The deceased wo* highly es
teemed in the community in which he lived,
and his sad d- atb is deeply deplored by all.
Our community wns shocked lasi week by
the sad announcement of the death of Ben
nie Spearman, eldest son of Mrs R. T.
Harper, which occurred at Dawsoo, On , on
the 17*h inst, of typhoid fever. Gifted,
honorable and high-toned, be was possessed
of nil the elements ol true manhood, and had
lie lived, would have exemplified these traits
in a career as bright ts it would hnve been
useful. Though young, he had many friends
among those of older growth, who fonnd
much to admire in his genial nntnre and
cultured manner, and his death will be uni
versally icgictti-d. We extend our heartfelt
sympathies to the bereaved family, and es
pecially to the sorrowing, grief-stricken
mother, and pray that the same Hand which
smote will carry balm to their wound*d
hearts.
