The negroes of the community became so bel ligerent toward the young man, who was m the arresting posse some weeks age and shot George Bird, from the effects of which lie! died, however, that ho had rnove, whereupon Rev. Brown thought it best to go on the place himself. It is a matter of general com¬ ment that thero are too many negro quarters in this town, and that they continue to spring up.

In the coroner’s investigation of the poisoning of the negro Mor¬ gan Wilson in the Finch neighbor hood ten da vs ago, suspicion point d to u ..,, Elllit Par . rieli (a son of old “Dick Sifter”), and they were both arn Ted later and lodged in jail. It has not been ascertained exactly wliat the trouble was between the darkies, but it appears that there was some rivalry between Wilson and Bivens over the hand of a dusky damsel. It is told that Bivens “fixed” a drink of whiskey and told Parrish to give it to Wilson, who drank it and died a few hours afterwards, A post mortem examination show cd strychnine in the dead man's stomach.

While in Swainsboro last week we heard a little railroad talk which, whether true or not, is interesting to State.Boro, it was to the effect that since the build¬ ing of the Brow ten & Pineora had been stopped by injunction, the plan is to build the road on to this -place and have a consolida lion with tho Savannan & State.< boro, the Central to own the whole thing. It is said that a two-mile spur is now being built across the river at Meld'dm, connecting with the Central and making the S. & S. entirely independent of the G. & A. This information was given to us second-handed from one of the attaches of the road.

Mrs. Elizabeth Skinner died at her home in the southern part of town last Thursday afternoon, after only about a week’s indispo sition. The interment at the town cemetery the next afternoon was attended by one of the largest hat ever attended a burial there, showing the high esteem in which the deceased was held by tho citizens of the town, Mrs. Skinner was one of the oldest citizens of the town, being between sixty and seventy years of age. Her death was not pro ceeded by any serious illness, but seemed to- ho due to old age, her only complaint during hor con finemont to her bed being that she felt fatigued. Em years Mrs. Skinner has made herself handy about the sick¬ bed of her neigbors, and they loved her dearly. Every few weeks they'remembered her with baskets of provisions and. delica¬ cies, to which the whole neighbor hood cheerfully contributed. She is at rest. He Got His loon. Sheriff Donaldson brought in Will Bivens Monday morning, who was charged with the poison ing of Morgan Wilson, at Portal, last week, John had an expo nence taking in his man, who i ,10 doubt a tough one. flo first arrested him iuesdayof last week, but as there was no wan ant for him he was turned loose. Thu ra¬ day, however, a warrant was issued and the sheriff went after him again, but Bivens was not willing to tho arrangement and he was not taken. Oil this occa ion ho was plowing m the fi l'd at . Mr. Merida Hendrix's, and when the sheriff approached him he turned his plow handles loose stepping a few feet away, picked The sheriff had his S 1 ** 1 too und he didn't stop; v, m-ampm t lm m i° got behind 0 n * s “* u “ '/"°“ u backing fo¬ v.«0,Mhe bnshes, usmg . tl>« •— mal as a breastworks between him and the shot iff. In the meantime he get, up a yell for his wife, who came rushing down to see what the trouble was. By the time the sheriff got around the mule, Bivens had the fence and made hi. escape, Now, Bivens reckoned that the sheriff had enough of him, and that he would never be bothered again after the experience of that day; but ho reckoned amiss— Donaldson was more determined than ever to take him, and lie went back early Monday morning to } ut his plan into execution, Ho found his man again at the plow, and he sneaked up on hun while he plowed, When t lie negro’s hack was lamed, Jonn did his sneaking; and when he faced about at the end of the row, John laid down. Finally, just as the sheriff had decided to order Bivens to holdup his hands when be should approach hipi again, the negro stopped at the further end of the row, unhitched his mule from the plow and rode off to tho house; but when he got lucre, the sheriff was there also, having run across the field and headed him off; and as Bivens came out of the lot from putting up his mule, he confronted the sheriff’s Winchester and readily responded to the order to hold up hi:; hands. Bivens is regarded as a dan¬ gerous negro, and it is said that after he evaded the sheriff on Thursday he made an effort to borrow a Winchester, declaring that ho was going to defend him¬ self against arrest. While the sheriff was lying in ambush Monday morning waiting for a chance to take Bivens, the other negro implicated in the poisonir g, Emit Parrish, and for whom lie also had awirrant, came strolling leisurely along the road a few yards away, and he readily held his hands over his head wh en ordered to do so. lie was chained to waited Hie buggy near by, where he pat ientlv for a few minutes, when lie was joined by his pal and the sheriff.
