A Dastardly Murder.
Mr. Buck Summerlin, who once
lived in McDonough, and is still re
membered by many of our older citi
zens, was shot at his home iu Haralson
county last Friday night, by some cow
ardly scoundrels in his own neighbor
hood who were attempting to rob him,
and died next day. The following ac
count of the brutal crime appeared in
the Atlanta Journal:
Buchanan, Ga., December B.—The
most dastardly crime ever committed in
Haralson county was peipetrated five
miles west of here last night.
About G o'clock three masked men
entered the premists of Buck Summer
lin, who is seventy-four years old and
is supposed to have considerable money
about his house.
Buck Thornton, with bis face black
ed, knocked at the door and said he
wanted to warm.
Summerlin discovered that it was a
white man and started to rise, when
Thornton shot at him, but missed tbe
mark. After the second shot, which
resuhed as the first, the old man made
at Thornton with a kuife and stabbed
him several times. He then reached
for his gun and, as Thornton fell back
ward in the yard, shot him in the side.
Just at this juncture, one of the men
on the outside discharged hi 3 gun at
Summerlin, the shot taking effect near
the abdomen.
The two unknown men made good
their escape. Officers are iu search of
two boys who are suspected, but have
so far been unable to find them.
Jack Cooly, a negro, was arrested
but will be released this afternoon.
Thornton lived but a few minutes.

Furious Storm.
The rain and wind last Tuesday
was the heaviest known in this
section in three or four years.
Iu fact, we hardy escaped a destruc

I lie blowing down of a chimney to
! the residence of Mrs. Tomlinson, with
! some fencing around the yard, was the

Distressing news comes from several
J places over the State.
Iu Conyers the residence of Mr.
j Will Everitt was struck by lightning
ait I Mrs. Everitt severely shocked,
many trees were blown up by the roots,
■ fences blown away, etc.
Monroe county seems to have been
: about the ceutrr of the storm, however,
j and Forsyth the greatest sufferer, from
; which comes the f Mowing account:
Forsyth, Ga., December 12.—A ter
rific cyclone passed over this little city
this morning at 3 o’clock, carrying de
vastatiou and ruin in its path?
The courso of the storm was from
the southwest to the northeast and it
struck with fearful fury.
Iu the uortbeast portion of the towu
every inhabitant was terrorized and it
seemed for a time that the entire place
would he demolished.
In the quiet hours of the morning,
every man, woman and child hurried
from their couches to await their com
ing doom.
The lightning flashed and the thun
der rolled like a thousand cannon, and
despair staied every one in the face.
Just as the clock was striking 3:30,
the handsome Methodist church, with
its towering steeple, was swept to the
earth and completely ruined. 'The
crash was awful and everybody was
frantic with fear.
Sweeping with fearful force, the
wind then struck the northeastern por
tion of the town, demolishing the busi
ness houses of C. M. G. Bloodworth
& Co, Proctor & Huddleston. Then
to the carriage factory of W. 11. Ash
worth, thence to the warehouse of S.
D. Smith, which was unroofed, as was
Hie hotel of the Misses Proctor, in the
vicinity uf the depot.
Several uegro houses were complete
ly destroyed, one or two lives lost, and
several people badly injured.
The loss will reach thirty or forty
thousand dollars. The church steple
was thrown with terrific force, and the
tin roof hurled a half mile a way.
'l\ie entire northeastern part of the
husiuess block presents a desolate
scene. Every tree aud fence in the
path of the storm was completely
swept away.
A number of persons had miracu
lous escapes from awful deaths, the
roofs of their houses being blown from
above their heads.
Klegant Birthday Dinner.
Thursday, Dec 6, was the occasiou
of a pleasant gathering to a number of
invited guests at the home of Mr. As
bury W. Turner, to celebiate his fif
tieth birthday. Those who had the
pleasure of participating were the fam
ilies of each of his brothers and sisters,
Messrs. Will Turner and lady, Coon
Turner and lady, Mem Turner and
lady, Charlie Turner and lady, I. B.
Bryans and lady, Johnnie Bryans and
lady, Miss Terapa Turner, “Uncle
Dave” Copeland, Mis. Fatiuie Bryans,
Dock Turner aud lady, and the small
children of each family, making in all
over thirty.
Between 10 and 11 o’clock, each of
the guests arrived, and were welcomed
most cordially by Mr Asbury, his ami
able lady and charming daughter. It
was uot long until Asbury asked one
of the ladies why she came with that
“old, dirty dress on,” adding that if
she would burn it, he would give her
another, and so teasing one and anoth
er of the ladies to dispose of their pres
ent apparel, he would give her a dress.
It ended by his giving each lady, and
the servants in waiting, each a hand
some dress, in all 12 dresses!
Kvery one who knows Asbury Tur
ner, knows that he never does things
by halves, that when be does a good
thing, he does it with his whole might.
Amid the exclamations of the ladies,
as each one exhibited her dress, “Evie”
exclaimed, “I allers said that Asbury
Turner was de best Turner der is, and
now I knows it.”
As we were to partake of the din
ner, ami as is custom, he was entitled
to preseuts, but he reversed the order
of things, gave the presents, and din
ner too ! And the dinner! — My !
The table literally groaned !>eneath its
good things, from turkey to confec
tionery, enough to Batisfy the most
fastidious epicure. All partook of the
dinner most heartily, pronouncing it
one of the best of their lives.
The afternoon wore away all too
quickly, occupied in pleasant, small
talk, each trying to talk to, and hear
every one else talk, interspersed with
the ready wit Irom the noted wit,
' Coon” Turner, and when time came
for dispersing, all wished that Asbury
could invite us to celebrate his next
[ fiftieth birthday. One of Them.

OFFERTAT
TO BE
WITHDRAWN
To Our Readers:
It Is with reluctance we announce that o »r
famous Brltannlca offer must now be withdrawn.
From the day of the first announcement of our
liberal proposition to the present day, this
enterprise has proven a continual succession
of surprises to The Constitution management.
That the offer of such an unrivaled literary
production on such unparalleled terms should
Create somewhat of a commotion In literary
circles was of course to be expected, but tha
actual results have been so far beyond our
most sanguine expectations that The
Constitution must confess that In this
patlcular instance its prophetic powers have
proven very inaccurate. Up to the present
writing fifteen carloads of Encyclopedia
Brltannlca have been delivered to Constitution
subscribers and more are now on the way to
fill orders already booked.
The enterprise at the start took on the
form of an educational crusade, which like all
educational movements grew by geometric
ratio. From all parts of this great state, from
Alabama. Florida, the Carolines. Tennessee,
Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas.
Indian Territory, Oklahoma Territory, New t
Mexico anJ Old Mexico, and from many of
the Northern States, men who had lung
coveted this ‘‘Epitome of the World's
Knowledge" hastened to send In their orders;
pleased with the great prize they found so
easily within their grasp, they naturally told
their friends, who likewise seized the
opportunity, and in turn, told their friends, I
and so the good word was carried
beyond the regular circulation of
The Constitution, until many who had not
even known before of the existence of this
Universal Educator were, through the aid of ‘
The Constitution, enabled to bring its
elevating and retining influence into their .
own homes.
Right here Is where The Constitution has
reaped Its only financial return for Its heavy
expense of carrying on the business of this i
department. It Is in the large number of new
subscriptions to the paper obtained from
those who become subscribers that they may
avail themselves of the special arrangement 1
whereby Constitution subscribers save from
Sat to $)) on the price of the set.
There Is a double reason therefore why The
Constitution Is reluctant to withdraw this
proposition Just at a time when It seems to
have reached the summit of success. In th® /
first place the fact that more orders are now
Coming In dally than at any previous time
during the history of the offer is evidence
that many thousands more would be benefited
by The Constitution's reduced rates if the
offer were to be continued Indefinitely;
besides The Constitution Is loath to give up
what has proven an effectual way of increasing
Its extensive family of readers.
But we have no choice In the matter, for
the special contract with the Brltannlca
publishers, which enabled us to make our
Encyclopadia proposition will expire on
Monday, the aeth day of this month, and after
that date subscribers to The Constitution,
like all others, must pay full retail price fwr
Brltannlca.
Those of our readers who still wish to
supply their homos with this Invaluable
reference library should send In their
applications at once.
Respectfully,
The Constitution
