On Friday morning last, in the Third district, a negro youth numed Coley Mc- Koy shot and killed a negro girl about 15 years of age.

The 10-2-2 grades will sell at $33 to $35 per ton, and higher grades will be proportionately dear.

HIPANY Mr. Hugh Buchanan, who has been residing iti New York for the past three years, bought transportation and started home Wednesday to spend the holidays; hut while on his way to the train he was seized with a sudden illness and had to be carried to a hospital. The hospital physicians thought at first that he had appendicitis, but after a second and more careful examination they de cided that it was a less serious trouble, and that he would bo able in a few days to resume his journey. Mr. Frank Orr, who is attending a medical college in that city, has been with him since he was taken to the hospital, and will probably accompany him home. The Newnan friends of Mrs. Carrie Sponcler were deeply grieved to learn of her death, which occurred Saturday afternoon at College Park, where she had been making her, home for the past two years. She is survived by two brothers, F. R. Hughey, of East Point, and J. 15. Hughey, of Carroll ton, and five sisters, Mrs. M. A. Dickey, of Dallas, Tex., Mrs. A. K. Hemperly, of East Point, Mrs. Britt Kilgore, id' Dallas, Ga., Mrs. W. A. Wright, of | , Rome, and Mrs. J. J. Vance, of Talla- j poosa. She was 70 years of age.

Webb’s farm, 3$ miles south of town, was de stroyed by fire between 1 and 5 o'clock Monday morning. The house was occu pied by Ida Taylor and her two children — Emma, a girl of 15, and Alfred, a boy of 13—and their charred bodies were found in the ruins. Mr. Starling Carpenter, whose farm adjoins the! Webb place, was the first to visit the scene, and his gruesome discovery was | reported to Sherilf Brewster. An ex- , umination of the bodies showed that the I Taylor woman’s neck had been broken, and that the boy had a deep cut on the j side of his face, as if made by some sharp instrument. The finding of an axe in the bed occupied by the woman and her son, together with. a blood-1 stained cloth around the hoy's neck, led to the suspicion tnat the Taylor woman ami her iwo children bad been murdered and the house burned to con ceal evidences of the crime. Acting upon this theory Sheriff Brewster and I Deputy Sheriff Jackson arrested a ne-1 (NEW GROCERY STORE) At No. 8 West Washington Street Will sell for cash and sell for less.
