Fort Gaines, Ga., April 14.—Bob Burnett, the country merohant, who was murdered in a room in his store near Fort Gaines, yesterday morning, by a Negro who had entered the store for the purpose of robbery, an account of wliioh appeared in yesterday’s IIkk- ali), was captured yesterday afternoon and carried to the scene of his crime where a large 1110b had colleoted. He confessed the murder, and at onco preparations to burn him alive were made. A feqce was torn down and the rails piled around a fat light- wood stump, the prisoner tied, and laid on top. Kerosene was poured over him and i the pile of wood; the Negro beg ging pitifully to be spared. The orowd yelled with fury and delight. Some one touched a match to the wood and the flames shot twenty feet Into the air. Amid the craokling of the flames and the scrpnms of the vio- tim pistol shots rang upon the air and dozen balls perforated the body of the helpless wretch. The Negroes formed a majority of the mob and did most of the work of preparing the bonfire, Negro men and women, with long poleB, stood around and pushed the chunks on the roasting flesh. The victim of the cre mation was a Negro whose name was unknown. Young Burnett, whom he murdered, was one of the lending young men of Quitman oounty, and belongs to an old and arlstooratio fam ily, whose mansion is one of the finest old houses remaining from ante hel ium days. WHERE MIRE AND MPARKI.INR WATERS AROUND, From Saturday’s Evening Herald, Edley Robb-son, is the name of a Negro tenant on the Greenfield plan tation near the city, and he will go on record as a man with a skull like adamant. The dashing, rollioklng Robinson went to a “cake \Va)k” dance on the farm last night, and was having a grand and glorious time for a while. A. is usual, a orowd of young bucks assembled outside the house to display their agility and physical prowess, and it was during this kind of sport that alert Edley allowed his cranium to come in contaot with the sharp oorner of a huge flint rook. And strange enough the rook was not broken, though considerably bruised Edley’s companions discovered that he was bleeding profusely from a wound in the head. He was carried home, where all the cobwebs, turpentine, liniment, etc., on the plantation were used to stop the flow of blood. But tho blood didn’t stop until about 2 I Only Fifteen Venn.

So much for the quantity of water, Now, let’s see about the quality. When it comes to this, nothing more convincing as to the purity of the water can be said than It Is Artesian water. Albany, unlike other oities ln the state, is not dependant upon muddy creeks nnd rivers for her water supply.

Usually where the water is pure the supply is insufficient and where the supply is sufficient the water isjmpure. It is only in spec ially favored sections that the supply is largely above the demand and at the same time so pure that a chemist, carefully examining its molecules and bringing to bear upon them every art of his science to find Impurities, is unsuccessful. But that is the case in Albany and that is why it can be said that Albany is blessed. Truly wonderful is Albany’s water works system, and the whole people should be thankful to the present and past municipal boards for providing such a luxury to bless our people.
