The large amount of property sold brought good prices and shows clear ly that values continue to increase in old Henry. The Brown real estate brought $22, 850, some of the bidding upon it being quite spirited and exciting. It is safe to say that no section has shown a more marked improvement than that around Locust Grove, and the manner in whi h this land sold it evidence that the boon accredited to it is on a solid Imis. Units all over the county sold well, those most convenient of course being preferable.

And representing sucli a clever, stirring set of people he cannot be mistaken.

One of the negro prisoners in jail made a luoky escape last Friday—not from the bars, however. He had been lighting cigarettes from a lamp between his legs, when it turned over and burn ed him so badly that a physician had to be called in to relieve his suffering. It caused considerable alarm at first, as the jail was thought to he on fire, but it all cooled down as soon as the cause was learned. During the past week the East Ten nessee passenger trains have commen ced to enter the union depot in Atlan ta, where they will receive and dis charge all of their passengers hereafter. The ticket office and baggage rooms have been transferred, the old depot being discarded entirely. This consu ruation has been awaited by our people with long-suffering patience, and to find their hopes at last realized for a cer tainty is a happy telief Greenwood Gin Burned. The spendid public gin of Mr. W. VV. Amis, at Greenwood, was complete ly destroyed by fire last Friday after noon, consuming thirteen bales of cot ton and damaging eighteen or twenty. How the fire originated is not exact ly known, hut it is thought a match was carried up through the suction pipe some way and iguited. The structure was of corrugated iron, and was in no danger from fire, except in some such manner as occurred. Even then, protection was assured to some extent, but with the means com manded the flames gained too rapid a headway to be controled. Under the circumstauces it was for tunate to be no worse. Several hun dred bales of cotton were lying around the gin bouse, and all were saved ex cept the amount mentioned. Messrs. Watts Aiken, Wilson PuHsn and W. W. Amis were the principal losers (the first named the largest) though we did not learn the exact pro portion. There was no insurance, and our Greenwood neighbors have the sympa thy of their friends in the loss sus tained. Another Hanging. .McDonough will witness her fourth hanging in December. On tue 18th of that mouth (just about six weeks off) Joint Berry will answer for the crime of rape with his life Jt will bs remembered that last spring the Supreme Court refused Ber ry a new trial, and he has since been lying in jail awaiting a new sentence. This, Judge Boynton pronounced upon him last week, directing that the exe cutiou be in public, within one mile of the court house, on Friday, the 18th day of Decern tier, 1891. Sheriff Glass has procured the same arrangements recently used in Jackson —so it ts safe to say everything will wotk without a hitch, unless executive clemeucy intervenes Of this tiierc is a slight probability, as considerable sympathy seems to ex i«t for Berry, and there is talk of a strong |>etitioii being gotten up aud for warded to Governor Northen, asking the commutation of his sentence to life imprisonment. If this fails, then nothing further can prevent the hanging. 'I his makes the fourth, which will complete the record of Henry’s hang ings. ANOTHER GOOD tlTlSeto* GONE. Mr. \V. W. Turnipseed Passes Quietly Away at His Home in Hampton. Hauiplou and Henry county have in common lieeu called upon to mourn the death of on« of our It-st an<l most substantial citizens. On last Saturday morning at 3 o’clock the spirit of Mr. Win W. l’ur nipseed took its ffiglit from earth to eternity. Mr. Turnipseed was sixty two years old, and had been a citizen of Hampton about twenty five years, lie was closely indentifiod with the town's Irs torv, which he lie! pel to build from the iusignificeut station of Bear Creek tuto the prosperous and pleasant little city of Hampton, among whose best ci izens his name is permanently linked. He was not only a thorough and suc cessful business man, nut an earnest Christian who attended regularly up on his church duties, being for a iiutn ber of years Sunday School superinten dent, and holding that position at the time of his death, He was also a good Mason. lie leaves a large estate, paying tax es upon fifty or sixty thousand dollars, consisting of lauds, town property and three large buggy, wagon and plow, factories—one at McDonough, one at Fayetteville, with the head establish ment at Hamptou. Mr. Turnipseed was the father of Mr. M. fl. Turnipseed, of this city, and leaves two other children living—one a young man and the other a small boy. Several grown children have preceded him in death. Although having recently been con fined but a short while, Mr. Turnip seed had been in feeble health for some time, and his death was not a surprise to his friends. A good man is gone—peace to his ashes. An Appeal to the Ketl Men. Brethren, Chiefs and braves, some thing ovvr twelve moons ago the Mo jove Tribe of Red Men had its begin ning. Moie than forty good men and true forsook the haunts of the pale face to join our beloved Mojoves, aud they swore eternal fidelity to the order Subsequent events have shown that the busiuess pursuits of the pale face have so engrossed their attention that one by one they have left out camp fire to die cut. Not more than two inoous siuce, we met and rekindled our camp fire, theu and there swearing again our aliegience to the order, and pledging our sacred word and honor to meet promptly twice a month to build up our noble aud beloved order. Since the rekind ling of the camp file the brothers seem tr> have forgotten their vows. The mootings have been so sparely attended that there were not enough members present to cover the stumps for the purpose of transacting busiuess. Now, in behalf of our vows, promis es and pledges, let every member of the Mojove Tribe meet tlie third Mon day night, inst. Let us then aud there devise a plan by which we can per suade the tribe to meet promptly at their hall and transact tribe business as it deserves. Those of the order who visited At lacta, on Red men’s day, were witness es of the great number of tlie order and of their zeal. We heg of our brothels to consider the great good that the order can do in our midst if we but do our duty. Since rekindling the brothers have all paid their dues promptly, and the wampum belt prom ises to grow plethoric, and soon we will be able to help any brother notable to follow the hunt as our rules and regu lations direct. Come one, come a’l ye Red men the third Monday night inst, and let us again enjoy the good times that await us if we do our duty.
