following from the Wheeling (W. Va.)

music being highly appreciated by the
large audience. In the comedy sketch

Melvin E. Brown, a violin soloist and
composer of note, is a universal favorite
with the music-loving public, and under
his skillful leadership the performance
of the orchestra was most admirable.
Mr. Gray’s banjo solos brought down
the house; as a ban joist he is an expert,
and the audience showed their appro
bation by hearty applause. The other
parts were sustained with equal merit
by the different performers.
We have just received a new piece of
music, called “Silver Bell Waltz,” by
that popular composer, Charley Baker,
which we can recommend to our read

The “Boston Stars,” whose perform

people, will return by special request
and give another entertainment at
Reese’s Opera House on Saturday, 24th

of Mechanics’ Brass Band, and we can
assure them in advance of a cordial and
appreciative reception. Seats can be
secured at Reese’s drug store, or upon

Newnan was well represented at our
“Auld Lang Syne” performance by Mr.
Harry Fisher and wife, the Misses
Clark, Miss Hall, Mrs. Jones, Mr. Will
Arnold, Mr. and Mrs, Scroggin, and

that they urgently requested that the
concert be repeated in their town. In

the matter is now being considered.

Peterson's Magazine for April comes,
as usual, among the very earliest of the
month’s periodicals, and is one of the
most interesting and welcome. The
steel-plate, wood-engravings, and dress-
patterns are all of superior merit, and
the literary portion of the magazine
deserves the highest praise. This friend
of countless households for so many
years is still as thoroughly to be depend
ed on as when it began its popular ca
l’. It never fails, each twelvemonth,
to bring forward new attractions in its
literary, fashion, and household de
partments. While retaining old favor
ites, “Peterson” constantly finds new
writers of promise; and, in all matters
connected with dress and needlework,
it contrives to fender itself more and
more indispensable to ladies. It is a
live first-class magazine, up to the needs
of the times in every respect, and this
is the secret of its ever-growing popu
larity. Terms: Two dollars a year.

Court Notes.
The jury in the case of The State vs.
Dilsey Echols, upon which the Court
was engaged when we went to press
last Friday, found the prisoner guilty
and recommended that she be sen
tenced to life imprisonment. Counsel
for defense made a motion for a new
trial, which will be heard before Judge
Harris some time next month.
Court adjourned Saturday afternoon,
but re-convened Monday morning,
when the criminal docket was resumed.
The State vs. Frank Hill, simple lar
ceny, was the first case taken up, which
resulted in a verdictrof acquittal.
The case of The State vs. W. H.
were escapes and when the train reached
Senoia he telegraphed Marshal Robin
son and apprised him of the discovery.
Procuring horses he requested Mr. Jack
Keith to accompany him, and set out at
once in pursuit of the fugitives. After
skirmishing around for an hour or so in
the vicinity of the spot where the con
victs were first seen, they approached
a house near the railroad crossing oc
cupied by a family of negroes. As they
rode up to the door of the cabin about
the first object that attracted their at
tention was a double-barreled gun ly
ing across the bed, near the door. The
old rregro who lives on the premises
was in the front yard, and Marshal
Robinson pointed to the gun and asked
to whom it belonged. At the same in
stant a burly negro who had remained
hidden from view in the cabin, sprang
forward and, seizing the gun, turned
the muzzle in Robinson’s direction as
to shoot. Messrs. Robinson and
people if they could only see their j
children as others see them. Even if
they have no respect for the minister,
they ought to show some regard for the
Lord’s house—and they shall. We are
always glad to have the young people
come out and worship with us, but I
would respectfully suggest that if they
cannot deport themselves in a beseem-
ly manner while in the shadow of the
sanctuary they will oblige seriously-
disposed church-going people by stay
ing away. I regret that there should
be any necessity for bringing this mat
ter to the notice of the public, but it is
a practice that lias gone so long unre
buked I feel it my duty, as a church
official, to call attention to it in order
that the evil may be checked. It has
gone too far already, and must be stop
ped.”
A. R. Burdett—“We’xe got another
enterprise on foot in Newnan, which
will be in full blast by the time the
cotton factory starts up. Can’t tell
now—promised not to—but just wait
and you’ll hear her rattle before long.
I’m no sensationalist if I do talk loud
sometimes.”
Burks, assault with intent to murder,,
occupied the time of the Court from I to-day or to-morrow.
Keith knew-, then, that they had flush
ed their game, so to speak, and drawing
their pistols ordered the negro to lower
his gun. He did so, but the next mo
ment he and his companion sprang out
at the opposite door and started for
the woods, carrying the gun with them.
The woods were close at hand—so close,
in fact, that by the time Messrs. Robin
son and Keith turned the comer of the
house they were already in the bushes.
Putting spurs to their horses they start
ed in hot pursuit, firing several shots
from their pistols as they ran. After a
short but exciting chase they soon
overtook the negro with the gun, who,
when he realized that escape was im
possible, turned and raised his gun.
In turning, however, his foot became
entangled in the underbrush and he
fell to the ground. Before he could
rise Messrs. Robinson and Keith cover
ed him with their pistols, and it was then
but the work of a moment to secure
both the gun and prisoner. The other
negro escaped.
The negro gives his name as Sam
Crawley, but liis real name is believed
to be Hugh Connelly, one of the sLx con
victs who made their escape by over-
pow-ering the guards at Bremen on the
6th inst. He is a stalwart fellow, about
6£ feet high, and evidently a tough
customer. When captured he begged
that he might be killed, saying that he
preferred death to going baick to the
convict camp. He is now in jail at this
place, but Marshal Robinson has noti
fied the Principal Keeper of the Peni
tentiary of the capture and he will
probably lie returned to the convict
J. B. S. Davis—“You were wrong in
your statement that the action of the
attorneys of the Atlanta and WeBt
Point road in settling the damage suits
referred to in your last issue was a vio
lation of the ethics of the legal pro
fession. They had a perfect right to
do so—the more so as the widow's of
the deceased men went to Atlanta for
that express purpose. The compro
mise thus effected does not debar the
attorneys on the other side from pro
ceeding with the suit. The status of
the case is unchanged, so far as their
fee-interest is concerned. Settlements
of this character are frequently made,
and there is ample precedent for such
action even in the Coweta circuit.”
