Hurrah for Locust Grove. Cool Weather. Tin hottest spell of the year was e.\p rienced last week, but it culmina te u a welcome cool wave Sunday tv dug. Blankets were in demand t day night, and early Mouday t, ning tires were net uncomfortable, while the early risers say the ther mometer registered as low as 54 de grees. Everybody welcomed the cool change and it had a visible effect. In lowa and some of the other cold states the change was quite wiuter tsh. The signal service reports say the indications are that there will be no more very liot weather this summer, hut there will be an early fall. A Good Meeting. i he meeting at the Methodist church which has In eu iu progress little over a week, was blessed with good resuDs. lie vs. Harwell, Smith and Drown as sisted til the work and did most of the preaching. The pastor delivered an excei'enl sermon Sunday, under which the congregation was happily moved by the spirit, and gracious results fol lowed. Twenty-four members have joined the church, some of which go to tht other denominations, and the meet ing closed Wednesday night. It was one of best, in various respects, experi enced by the church m many years, and was enjoyable as well as beneficial to those who attended.

The committee appointed by the Suin iy school at Noah’s Ark, to draft resolutions on the death of Mrs. J. \I, Jol nson, beg leave to report: Whereas, in the providence of Al mighty God, our esteemed sister, Mrs. Eli/.abeth W. .Johnson, has been called from our midst to her eternal re ward, Therefore be it Resolved, that in her death, we, as a church and Sunday school have lost one of our brightest jewels, we are sad each Sabbath when we are remind ed of her death by her vacant seat. She was devoted to her church and Sabbath school, and did much efLct ual work. Her life was pure atid holv, and all who knew her loved her, and were taught to lead better lives by her Christian walks and Godly conver sation. We mourn her, not as lost, for t has been a happy exchange for her, and she is now basking in the sun shine of our blessed Savior, waitiug to give us a welcome, when the summons shall be received by us to come up higher, and enter into the joys of our Lord. We extend our heart-felt sympathies to the sad and believed husband, for his home is left desolate without her sweet and winning presence.

Jonesboro Goes Down Before ller Brave Boys Without u Him. The finest game of base hall ever p’aved in McDonough was witnessed by those who attended the match be tween Ola and Join shorn here last Saturday afternoon. When the Joneslioros appeared in their handsome suits of black it was a strong looking team, and as they were known to be good ball players, it was with much anxiety when the Olas faced them. The battery work of Norman and Richards proved too great for them, however, and at the end of the game Ola had wou the splendid victory of 17 to 0. Ola went to bat first and easily pounded out four runs. Jonesboro then came in, but her sluggers could not begin to reach Norman’s swift and wouderful curves, and fanned out in one two three order. And this was but a repetition for the remainder of the game. As they faced Norman they went down before him like chaff iu the wind, not a single man getting beyond second base, and uobody reaching first after the second inning. Richard's work behind the hat was just as perfect, only one pass ball be ing recorded against him during the entire game, a single wild pitch also being Norm til’s record. Ola’s playing was line all round, but a running left band catch by Will Normvn was the fielding feature of the game, closely followed by another one hander by a Jonesboro man. Irb Norman is nothing short of a wonder as a ball twirler, and at the end of the game was the toast of his uumerous friends. Ed Richards supports him in regular professional style, and we firmly be lieve they make a battery that cannot be equaled in the State. As soon as the game was over they were picked up and carried around over the grounds on the shouldeis of their friends. There is no doubt that Henry coun ty has in the Ola club some of the very best amateur talent to be found any where, and they stand ready to play any nine in the State to prove the fact. THE SCORE.

The Jonesboro club is a fine one, and the Ola boys put a big feather iu their cap by defeating them, which was the fit st they had met after cleaning lip every other good club in reach of them. Jonesboro had an engagement with the barracks niue in Atlauty last Mon day, and, recognizing the strength of Norman and Richards, secured them to go up and do their battery work. The result was a big victory for Jonesboro boys, tbe credit for which is due to our Henry county hoys, who surprised the large number of spectators present and made their reputation as first class ball players. It was a fine exhibition of amateur hall playing, a full report of which we give below from Tuesday's Constitu tion : “As tbe Central train rolled in yester day morning, there alighted a party of fifty or sixty people, who came from Jonesboro. There were in that party nine men in uniform, who looked about at the bustle and activity of city life with an eye of curiosity. Among them was a ruddy-faced hoy, evidently an impor tant contingent. Several hours later that same lad was being carried enthusiastically about upon the shoulders of his brother alii ancemeu out at Piedmont park, and seven residents at McPherson, one Savanuian and an Atlantia.ii walked iu dejection toward the hayburuer that was to carry them away from the dis mal field of battle. A youngster, with plenty of time to reach his majority, was responsible for the downfall of Fort McPherson’s pets, and he rubbed in defeat iu a manner that was heai trending to the admirers of the barracks players. Nearly every one who went to the game—and there were several hundred there—expected the soldiers to wiu in a canter. And when Butler and Cop pedge, of the Atlantas, step[>ed upon the field hopes for Jonesboro went glimmering. But for just one inning did the local men have the ghost of a show. After that the visiting team was tiying lo see how easily it could win. In the entire game the barracks men could hit but one hall to the outfield, and that was the sole hit credited to their batting column t'ofijiedge suffered a different eipe rieuce. the “third patty,” “alliance luen,' “fanners," “cotton growers,” and whatever else they were called, put up a game that had no whiskers on it, and drove out a fusilade o! red-hot single*. The McPhersons scored two in the first and three in the fif.h, but af terwards never crossed the plate. In the second Richards of the Joucs- I>oros made a nice hit to left, with three men on liases, and all of them scored. In the third they almost knocked Cop pedge out of the box and rolled up sev en runs in a twinkling. The visitors then had easy sailing. Jonesboro became jubilaut as the game progressed, and when Norumn completed his magnificent woik iu the box by striking out the last three bat ters his fellow men and every one else gave him an ovation; and he certainly deserved it. At the bat, too, Norman was power ful, making the two prettiest drives of the day. lie was splendidly supported by Richards, and in fact the entire club shovifed that it knew suveraf {mints about base ball. There were several delays occasioned by kicking over deciscons. In the sixth Greeuhalgh w’as called out at the {date, because of not touch mg the third base after a foul. The point was urg ed that the wild pitch on which the jolly sergeant had run in was delivered by Norman while standing out of bis box, and was hence illegal. The run didn't count, however. When darkness bad stepped in at the end of seven innings, the badly disappointed barracks men were greet ed by the following sad tale : McPherson 2 0 0 0 :t (I 0— 5 Jonesboro 0 I! 7 I 0 0 4 —Mi Game called because of darkness. MUItURII ANI) ARSON. Horrible Death of an Olit Negro Near Town. Last Friday night the bouse of Hannah Grice, an old and respectable negro wouiuu, who lived about a mile and a half lrom McDonough, on the Grillin road, was destroyed by lire, and her body consumed in the flames. Hannah lived iu the bouse alone, and the origin of the tire is uukuowu, but from vvliat could be gathered it is supposed she was murdered aud the house then burned down over her body to conceal the crime. She was a large woman, and her flesh was not entirely consumed, the head and limbs being burned to a perfect char, however, and the re mains presented a most horrifying spec tacle. From appearctices when found, it is thought her body was placed betweeu two straw mattrassos before the bouse was fired, as the burnt straw appeared to be above and below it. The bouse was a one room structure, and the body was iu the middle of it. It is supposed robbery was the came of the deed, as Hannah had a few days before collected about S3O, ar.d was known to have bad it iu the bouse at the time. Hannah was an industrious, respec table colored woman, perhaps fifty years old, owning the house and sev eral acres of ground, all of which had been paid for by her own labor, besides having a couple of bales of cotton laid away for bard times. If just as circumstances indicate, it is one of the foulest murders known to the catalogue of shocking crimes, which it seems that nothing human could have the heart to commit. It caused a feeling of horror throughout the com munity, some of the colored |>cople lie ing highly wrought up, and if the guilt should he fastened on any one no mercy would be shown him. Suspicion points the finger, and while no definite clue can he had, our faithful sheriff will ferret out the case if {lossilde. No such human monstrocity should go unhung, if such there he living. Corouer Coker was notified and at once held an impiest, the jury render ing the following verdict : VVe the jury find from the evidence adduced that Hannah Grice, col., came to her death by the bauds of some un known person, was robbed and the house burned down over her. We further find that the deceased has suffi cient property to defray all burial ex penses. G. G. Weems, Foreman. Pace Turner, J. N. SIIIKEY, J. E. Knott, J. K. Kixkkll, J. F. Copeland. <1 iti:i».
