Heard Superior Court. ,
The March term of Heard Superior
Court convened last Monday, Judge
S. W. Harris presiding.
The first business in order was the
resentencing of J. W. Smith, who was
convicted ofmurder at the regular term
of that Court in September, 1885. The
case, it will be remembered, was sub
sequently appealed to the Supreme
Court, but aftera hearing was remand
ed by that tribunal with its approval
of the judgment of the lower Court.
Under this final decree Smith was re-
senteneed by Judge Harris on’ Mon
day last—Friday, the 27th of May, be
ing fixed as the date of execution.
The crime charged against Smith
was the wanton and unprovoked kill
ing of Bonner Barker, a worthy and
highly-respected citizen of Heard cout •
ty, the particulars of which are well
known to most of our readers. Smith
was arrested and lodged in jail.
When the trial came off he was de
fended by able and influential coun
sel, who exhausted the machinery of
the courts in trying to secure his ac
quittal but without avail. The evidence
was too convincing an,d could not be j
overcome by argument.
The execution will take place in
Franklin and will be private.
' Perceiving his enfeebled condition,
the members of the bar insisted upon
Judge Harris adjourning court, which
he finally agreed to do—thongh not
without fltst testifying his apprecia'
tion of the kind consideration shown
him. The traverse jury was accord
ingly dismissed on Monday, no litiga
ted cases being taken up for trial,
The grand jury is yet in session, and
Judge Harris and Solicitor-General
Beid will both remain in attendance
upon that body until it adjourns.
There is but one prisoner in jail.
■ The Newnan bar was represented at
the opening of Court by Messrs
Hugh Buchanan, P. H. Brewster, W
Y. Atkinson, R. W. Freeman, P. 8,
Whatley, L. M. Farmer, P. S. Will

The West Point Cotton Mills, owned
by Lanier Bros, were burned last
Monday night. The loss was $200,-
000, fully covered by insurance.
One of the pleasantest and most ele-
gautiy planned affairs of the season
was a stra wberry sociable, tendered by
Miss Nell Bush to a choice company
of friends on Friday evening last, and"
from all accounts it was a most enjoy-
able and successful occasion. In ad
dition to an abundance of strawberries
—“the first of the season”—there was
an embarrassment of g >od things in the
way of cake, confections and other
toothsome condiments. The social
features of the entertainment were
equally happy, while all agreed that

Mr. E. P..Floyd;ef Palmetto, whose
recent business misfortune was noticed
by the Fairburn E r cws, publishes the
following card in the last issue of that
paper:
“I notice in the issue of your paper
before the last, that you stale that I
had “tailed in business and left
for parts unknown.” That part of the
paragraph that stated my failure, I
am sorry to say, was true; but in no
sense was it true that I had “left for
parts unknown.” I went to Atlanta,
saw a number of my creditors, told
them my condition, where I was going
and where I could be found. I am at
home in Palmetto, where any one ean
find me who desires to d*i so. I have
done nothing tor which I would dodge
any one, or that I am not willing for
anyone to know. If you are willing
to correct this unkind cut, you will
publish this. Yours respectfully,
“E. P. Floyd.

President Moses by this time having
arrived with a bag of seed from the
Government, was called to the chair
and requested to give an account of
his recent trip to the State Agricultu
ral Convention at Americus, which he
did at length and to the interest of all.
In conclusion, -he stated .that he
bought, .while there, a life’member
ship aud expected to be a more regular
attendant in future.
He was followed by Mr. J. Y. Car-
mical (who also attended the Slate
CouventioD,) and by Messrs. Wm. G.
Hill, A. W. Hill, Miles Jones and
others. ..
Then followed tlie distribution of
seed, which is a semi-annual treat tb
the Club.
The next question for discussion is—
“How to experiment with these seed?”
The meeting was very pleasant and
largely attended.
Meetings are held regularly on the
first Saturday afternoon in each
month, at 2 o’clock'.

ready and willing to serve his friends
as when he was in public life. Any
service he can render them will bie

The route from Greenville to Senoia

definitely known when the work of

it is thoughtthat a large force of bands
will be put to work soon after the line
is located to East Point.
