A pair of colored mokes on Mr. John Turnipseed’s place indulged in some barlow exercise one day last week, and showed a proficiency in the use of that handy little weapon that was delightful to see. One was wounded in four or five places about the head, face aod neck—the last gash narrowly missing his jugular vein. Dr. Turnip?eed was called in to make the necessary repairs, who plastered and stitched the wounded man up, and he was doing very well at lust accounts. Thr Cabinet Creek Association, (colored.) which convened here on Friday last, is the largest organization of the kind iu the State. Delegatee were present from twenty five or thirty counties, and continued to arrive up to the hour of adjournment. The crowd on Sunday was variously estimated at from five to seven thousand. One gentleman, who is usually considered accurate in estimating large crowds, says there were not less than seven thousand people on the ground at one time. Wk staled in a recent issue that Thos. McNair, the murderer of young Hardy, in Butts county, hud been arrested near Mbcod und lodged in jail. The report proved to be incorrect, although oor information came from a reliable source. However, a gentle man who lives in Butts county, and who is acquainted with the facts, tells us that on Monday night last McNair went to the resi dence of Sheriff Curry and voluntarily gave himself up, stating as a reason for this action that he desired to have his trial, and pre ferred surrendering himself peaceably to being forcibly placed under arrest. We understand his plea will be justifiable homi cide. He was endeavoring to moke a bond for his appearance at Court at last accounts, and unless he succeeds he will go to jail. McDonough Locals. T. C. NOLAN, EDITOR. The Ordinary’s Court was in session last Monday on several important cases. Mr Henry Tanner, of Atlaota, was on a short visit to McDonough last Sunday. Mrs. G. W.
