Captain J. M. Storey has an ox on
his place out at Oconee which a few
days ago showed symptoms of hvdro-
phobia. It was first noticed the ani
mal refused to eat, and in less than
twenty-four hours he was cavorting
around the yard like all possessed,
foaming at the month and attacking
everything that came in his way. When
taken to water he wonld plunge his
head in up to his eyes: These peculiar
actions, together w itb the fact that
some weeks since he was attacked by a
rabid dog and perhaps bitten, led the
Captain to conclude that the animal
was mad. On Sunday, when Captain
Storey saw him, the ox was expected
to die.—Greensboro Journal,
AN OLD MAN MURDERIO.
his Throat Cut and HI. Body Hidden In
th. Woods,
On the Kinchen farm, four miles east
Of Hawkinsville, lived an old negro
named Jerry Cowan. On Saturday laat
old Je ry and a negro named Pearce
Boss were seen together and left she
farm together. Some time afterward
Ross returned and told old Jerry’s
family that ho bad come for Jerry’s
clothing; that tho old man was going
off on the train. That night when he
returned again Pearce said that old
Jerry hud taken tbe train.
Old Jerry’s stepson believed that
something was wrong, and on Sunday
he followed Pearce's track to and from
certain point in the woods.
Tho tracks were made both
before and after the rain. He
found tbe spot where he was certain
old Jerry's body had been burned,
and going home and informed Mr.
Pearce of tbe matter.
Mr. Pearce and the step-son went
back to the place, and after scratching
into the eartli they found tbe body of
old Jerry. The facts were commnni-
cated to the coroner and an inquest was
held, which developed evidence of u
most Horrible crime. The old man’s
throat was cut from ear to ear, and
other marks of violence upon his head
and body.
Of coarse every circumstance and
every particle of testimony pointed to
Pearce Ross os tlie murderer. A war
rant was obtained for him, and his ar
rest was made by Sheriff Hunt and
Bailiff Lee Cremer, who brought him
to Hawkinsville and placed him in jail

T, r.a N.E'O.a Concoct a Sch.m. of
Ar.on and Muro.r.
Mr. James Sumner lives in Irwin
county, near tbe line ef ij’ortb. On
Sunday night three negroes, who were
entire strangers to him, halloed at Mr.
Smnncr’s gate and asked for supper.
Mr. Sninner told them that his wife
had retired (or the night, and that he
lmd nothing cooked that he coaid give
them. Mr. Sumner suspected that tbe
negroes were op to mischief, but they
finallv wont away, as he thought, and
ho felt relieved at their departure.
Pretty soon, however, be discovered
his gin house on fire. It at
onco occurred to him that tho
three negroes were the incendia
ries, and that their object was to entice
MOL oat ol bis boas* so they could kill
nml rob him. This idea so impressed
itself upon him that he remained in
his bouse and witnessed the destruc
tion of his gin-house and iu contenU
by the flames.
Ami tlie sequel shows that Mr Sum
ner’s suspicions were well founded, and
that bo did well not to leave bis dwell
ing to try tosave his gin-house. News
of the outrage spread throughout tlie
neighborhood, and on Monday a posse
set out in pursuit of tbe incendiaries,
Tlie three negroes were found and iden
tified on Monday night in thn commis
sary or store house at Ilarkan’s still, In
Worth county. When the arresting
officer and posse undertook to ar
rest one of them, who appear
ed to be the leader of th<
trio, showed fight and seized the gnn
of one of the poeoe. A straggle ensued
over tho gun, daring which a second
member of the posse shot the negro in
thu face. The negro then ran and was
shot dead.
The two other negroes submitted to
arrest, and made a confession which
showed that Mr. Sumner’s worst fears
on i-nnday night were well founded.
They said that tbe negro that had been
killed had carried them to Mr. Sum
ner’s for the purpose of murdetng and
robbing him; that Mr. Sumner had
been represented as baring a good deal
of money. The appeal that was made
for something to eat was merely a rase
to get into the house and take their
victim unawares. Failing in that, they
tried to get the old man out by setting
fire to liia gin house.—Albany News.

Saturday night Conley visited the

leave, and before passing out o( tbe
yard fired his pistol at random. Mrs.
Pitts, who was standing in the door,
watching and perhaps pitying tlie un
fortunate fellow, asked him not to shoot
again.

“I expect to lie on the green grass
where the cold wind will blow on me
to-night!”
About one minute later he was heard
to exclaim with an oath:
"Step four feet from me, and I’ll
show you what I’ll do.”
These words were closely followed
by the report of a pistol, which was as
quickly followed by the loud cry:
"Oh, Lord, I’m shot I"
Mer-ers. Nase Anderson and Wm.
Dowdy, who were in the house, has
tened to the scene, and found the life
less body of yonng Evans, with a
bullet-hole through his heart, stretched
at fall length upon the ground.
His head rested npon his left
band, while his right tightly
clinched his shirt immediately over the
heart. His face and bead were also
fearfully bruised, evidently from hav
ing been stamped nfter falling. A bot
tle of whisky was found on his person,
but a thorough search failed to reveal
aoy weapon except a knife, which was
in his pants pocket unopened.
The body was carried into the house
and a messenger dispatched for Coro
ner Nixon, who reached the place Sun
day morning, and at once proceeded to
hold an inqnest. After hearing all the
evidence, which was substantially as
related above, tho jury returned a ver
dict that J. W. Evans came to his
death by a pistol in the hands of Dan

A NOTED DUfL.
The Fight Betwwn Smiths and Thomar,
a Third ota Centu-y Ago,
Washington (Ga.) Gazelto.
Just thirty -five ago the most noted duel
which ever took place in this put of the
country, within tbe memory of our older
dtiun, wee fought on tbe Caroling side of
the Savannah river, just opposite to wheie
the swift waters o( thia rapidly flowing
stream dispute tbe passage of the llbl
waters of the Brood.
A few years previous to this duel Mr.
Thomas IV. Thomas, one of tbe principals,
ana Mr. George Smyths, a brother of the
other principal, quarreled; the result of
which wss a challenge to mortal combat.
Such serious turns of difflcul ies were
rot lolrcquant la those days. Both prin
cipals weie residents of tms section at d
well known to oar ciUte.e The duelling
party left Washington in carriages for ihe
Bevannah river. They arrived at the oid
town of Liaoou on thia tide of the river in
time for aupper, and atopped at the public
Inn. Both principals end the emirs dual-
iloz party eat down to same table and were
ev calm as If notbiug unusual was on
band. The plan was to cross the river,
sl-ep on the Caroline aide aud fight at anu
rias next morning.
Tue nisht was clear and beautiful, ths

happuslog it was some ot tbalr own party
wbo bad b-en left, tbey pulled beck to tba

whole party and brought them back. ‘

iio He writes aa follows:
Uaxey’a, Oglethorpe county, Qa., July Stb,
18S5.—For twelve or fourteen years 1 have
been a great sufferer from a terrible form of
lood poison which ran into tbe second ary
and finally U waa pronounced a tertiary form.
Uy bead, face and shoulders became almost a
man of corruption, and finally tbe disease
commenced tsting away my sknll bones. I
becsmeio horribly repulsive that for three
years I absolutely refused to let people see
me. I used large quantities of tbe most noted
blood remedies and applied to nearly all pby*
slctana near me, but my condition continued
to grow worse, and all said that I most surely
die. My bones became the seal of excrnclav*
ing aches and pains; my nights were
passed In misery; I waa reduced in flesh and
strength; my klineyi were terribly deranged,
and life became a harden to me.
1 chanced to tee the advertisement of B. B.
and sent one dollar to W. C. Blrchmore &
Co., merchants of our place,and tbey procur d
one bottle for me. It wit used with decided
benefit, and whan eight or Wn bottles had
been used I waa pronounced sound and well.
Hundreds of icara can now be aeenonme,
looking like a man who bad been burned and
then restored. Uy case waa well known m
this county, and for tbe benefit ot others wbo
may be similarly affected, I think It my duty
to give tbe facta to the puMlo, aed to extend
my heartfelt thanka for so valuable a remedy.
‘ have been well for over twelve momh* and
no return of tbe disease has occurred.
