An account of the murder of Mr. J. M
Blitch by a negro named Zach Holmes,
near Willacoochee about ten days ago,
appeared in these columns at the time.
The murder was cold blooded and with
out the slightest provocation. The offi
cers of the law have l>een on track of
Holmes for some days and on Friday
last found him in John Wilcox’s store
in Coffee county. The deputy sheriff,
Mr. W. A. J. Smith, was assisted by Mr.
Wilcox, and when ordered to surrender
the negro opened fire with a Winchester, farm, where
He fired several times but his aim miss- j her with ar

BBFSSWICK’S NEWSPAPERS.
A rumor that the Princess Eulalia
might accept the Herald’s invitation
and come to Waycross, has set the
society gossips all agog, and the
question “what shall we do with her” is
being tully discussed. The Herald is
not disturbed in the least about the
matter. If the Princess wants to come
—and she ought to want to come, we’ll
wager our reputation that she is properly
entertained. A part of our program
will Ik- to take her to ride through the : brl S ht side > hanging light out of dark-

A Manly Fight Against Odds.
Never before in the experience of a
long and eventful life, have we seen the
influence of the press and its power for
good more fully examplified than recently
in Brunswick. In this, the dark hour of
her sore trials, where else than to her
newspapers could she turn for sympathy,
for cheer, for advice. And manfully and
earnestly has the Times and Advertiser
come to the rescue, and devoted them
selves to the task of showing up the

George Washington Behind the Bars.
A great deal of pilfering from back ,
yards and private residences has been
going on in Waycross for several weeks
past. The ]K>licc have been on the
took out and Saturday night Marshal
Cason assisted by Mr Jack Booth
caught t>ne of the coons and lie is now a
guest at the county hotel. He gives
his name as George Washington and
owns up to several thefts. He stole a
coat from Col. Leon Wilson, one from
Mr. Ed. Baker, which he had on when
arrested, an umberella from Mr. Jack
Booth, also a clock from Rev. M. C.
Austin, and other thefts are traced to his
door. The negro is not well known here
and is evidently one of the tramping,
thieving vagabond gang that infest the
land. It is not our desire to attempt to
formulate public opinion except when
we think it is right to do so, hut in this
case would suggest that before George
Washington is turned loose upon the
community again it would he iu order
for some one to give him a serious chat.
A Plucky Woman Kills a Negro in Ap
pling County.
On Tuesday or Wednesday last, the
house of Air. Davis Withers, a well to
do farmer in Appling county, was visited
by a negro during Mr. Withers’ ab
sence, there being no one on the premi
ses but Mrs. Withers.
The negro asked for water, which was
given him; he then demanded some
thing to eat and followed Mrs. Withers
into the house with threats of violence
and outrage. The plucky woman re
treated until she got hold of a navy pis
tol, and then turning when the negro
was nearly upon her, shot him through
the body. Notwithstanding that he had
received a mortal wound, the wretch
managed to reach the woods, where he
was found dead by the crowd which i
mediately assembled. Mrs. Withers
to he congratulated for her pluck and
skill.
Aged Minister and his Wife Killed by
Nancy Hanks at Millner.
Rev. Wm. Graham and his wife were
killed near Milner yesterday while re
turning from preaching, by the Nancy
Hanks train. Mr. Graham and his wife
were about sixty years old The preach
er had just finished his morning’s ser
mon and was returning home with his
wife through a blinding rain storm. The
umberella and the storm prevented their
hearing the train which came from be
hind. They were thrown about twenty-
five feet in the air and instantly killed,
The engineer did not see them until
within a few yards. The train was on
time and no blame is attached to the en
gineer and conductor.
A Good Showing for the Health of
Waycross.
From the report of Mr. Jamrs M. Free
man keeper of Lott cemetery, filed this
day we learn the following facts: From
February 1st to May 1st there has been
seven interments in the cemetery. Two
of these were non-residents brought here
to be buried, one was an unknown man
killed on railroad and two were infants
only a few hours old. For a city of five
thousand inhabitants this is a wonder
fully low death rate.
An Immence Crop.
The crop of pears on the trees at the
Cherokee farm near this city is simply
wonderful. • .The writer has seen many
fine crops bnt this exceeds anything of
the kind he ever witnessed. There is
not a sign of blight in the whole orchard
and the fruit is large and well shaped.
Ten thousand bushels is a small estimate
for the crop ou about twenty acres.
The fruit has been thrashed from the
trees twice and cannot be missed. The
crop at the Chreokee nursery is worth
looking at.
The Examination.
The examination for cadetships to
West Point and Annapolis was held in
Waycross on Saturday last. Four young
men were before the Board. The report
of the Committee was forwarded by
Professor Bridges to Hon. H. G. Turner
last night, and the names of the lucky
parties will be made . known in a few

Cairo, Ga., May 28—News reached

the river. The younger sister got out
beyond her depth. The elder one went
to her rescue, but both were carried out
by the swift current, and went down to
a watery grave. Seins were procured,
and all night long faithful hands have
tried in vain to find them.
