On last Friday, Mr. Nat Teagle, a mer

town to see the show. During his absence
a negro boy who lived with him went out to
his crib, where nineteen hales of cotton
wern piled up and struck a match on one of
tho ties. As soon as the match ignited the
cotton caught from the blaze and in a min-
uto the whole pile was in a blaze. The fire
soon enveloped the cotton and the crib
caught and was burned down with five or
u hnndred bushels of corn.—Gwinnett

The Horrible Fate of a tally of Pulaski
County.
Mr. John D. Dupree came to Hawking-
ville this (Wednesday) morning for a coffin
for the remains of Mrs. Dupree, wife of his
brother Luke. On Tuesday Mr. Luke Du
pree left his wife sittiug by a tire iu her

ing ground peas. Soon after Mr. Ilnpree
lett the house, qne of his little children
ran down to the field and told him that his
mother was sick—to run homo. When Mr.
Dupree reached the house, a spectacle, sad,
horrible and sickening presented itself.
His wife hail fallen into the Uro and was
burned to death—her body was burned to
a crisp. It appeared thut she hud taken a
spasm or fit, and had fallen into the fire,
her arms stretched across the burning sticks
of wood, and there tl e body remained, no
one to remove it, and the flames roasting
the flesh. Sir. Dupreo was so overwhelmed
that he coaid do nothing hat give vent to
his grief in' loud lamentations, -which
brought in one of tho negro laborers near
by. The negro could hardly pull the body
out of tho fire, it had boen so completely
burned.—Hawkinsvillo Dispatch.

His bond was fixed at $2,000, and was signed
by CoL John W. Morrison, of Mt. Vernon,
Montgomery county, and Johnson himself
quulified.
H. W. Carswell, Esq., of the Mb Vernon
bar, accompanied Johnson to Savannah. It
ia supposed that Mozo'a acquittal encour
aged Johnson to surrender. The defense
will try to show that he did not do any
shooting, but thnt all of tho firing was done
by Wilder and Carmichael while Johnson
was in the store. Mr. Carswell stated that
Carmichael and Wilder aro dangerous men
night of tho raid wholly
by chance. Almut a year ago Wilder had a
still twelve miles from Long Fond, but it
was broken up and Wilder went to Florida
where ho remained until three months ago.

Tuesday night Sanday Livesey, a negro
living in Gwinnett, county, hung himself
with a plow lino. The Gwinnett Herald
•ays:
“The old negro was an honest, upright
man, endearing to meet all of his coutn cts
punctually, but owiag to tho severe rams
this fall, which seriously affected his cotton
crop, he found that it would impossible to
do so this fall. This so wrought upon his
mind, that rather than to huvo his corn
levied upon he choso death rather than life,
and to this end he deliberately hung him

Darien's Prohibition Election. ,
Darien, the rottenest holo in the State,
has had a vote on the prohibition question,
and tho vote stood: For the site, 657;

511. From tho above it is clearly evident
that tho liquor men signed the potition to
tho ordinary to order an election, for the
whole number of votes polled for prohibi

A BRIDE’S TROUBLE.
Midnight Scene In Which a Constable
. Figures Homewlint.
For months past Mr. Harrison Cook, an
indnstrions and intelligent yonng carpen
ter of the Fourth ward, has been the favored
snitor for the heart anil hand of Mias Jennie,
pretty brown eyed maiden residing in the
same ward, a daughter of Mr. Marion
Brown. The yonng lover had gained the
consent of the father to the union the
yonng conple desired. But tho mother
objected.
And thns matters stood Monday night
when Mr. Brown and his son David Brown,
came over to see the fascinating female
minstrels. White they were at the sjiow
Mr. Harrison Cook and Miss Jennie Brown
met at the house of Mr. Elligin Cook, and
were duly married.
At 11:30 o'clock Mr. Brown and bis son
rctnrned home from the opera to find that
their littlo bird had flown from its home
nest. The father and son went directly to
Mr. Cook's, entered the briilsl chamber,
lifted the bride from her couch anil carried
her Isick home.
The bridegroom sent in hot haste for Dep
uty Sheriff Jake Moore, who responded to
the midnight summons. Going before Jus
tice George Harris Mr. Cook swore out a
warrant for the arrest of Mr. Brown on the
charge of assaulting his wife. Armed with
this warrant Officer Moore, accompanied by
Mr. Cook and several friends, repaired to
the Brown mansion. At first Mr. Brown
Hjsitively refused to nilmit the officer- But
>eing assured that if bo did not open tne
door it would be knocked open, he turned
the lock, and Mr. Moore stepped into what
proved to bo Mr. and Mrs. Brown's bed
room. Tlie young bride was in bed with
her mother, and, Mr. Moore says, was cry
ing ss if her heart would break.
Mr. Moore explained to Mr. Brown that
he had a warrant for his arrest and would
be compelled to take him to jail.
“All right, take me to jail; but Cock can'
get Jennie,” replied the stern father.
“Why, be will get her just ss quick as I
can take you from the house," said tho pro
voking Jake Moore. “But Mr, Mr. Cook,
who is on the outside, does not core to
make any trouble, snd has authorized me to
diop tho matter if yon wi allow him to
take home his wife and will never trouble
them again."
This Mr. Brown at last consented to,
rnvided Cook would wait and come for his
ride next day. But this did not suit the
tho young husband—he wanted an uncom
ditionsl surrender of his property. Sir.
Moore referred the matter to the sobbing
bride, who promptly deelded in favor of
her husband. The father surrendered, and
the happy young married couple were es-
eorted hack home by Mr. Sloora.—Rome

Ever since the raid through the Long

been very much wanted by the authorities.
He was said to be the leader of the crowd
that fired on Deputy Collector Clem
