R. D. Mitchell & Son. Found Dead With a Bullet Hole in Her Head. Mrs. Elizabeth Cross, an aged white woman who lived on Washington street, was found dead in a gully near the town branch on the edge of the city last Saturday morning about 11 o’clock. A bullet hole in the back of her head told that she had been murdered. coroner Dorsey was notified and went at once and removed the body to the old woman’s hut, where an inquest was held at 2 o'clock Saturday after noon. The verdict of the inquest was that the woman came to her death from a pistol shot wound at the hands of parties unknown. From the best information obtained it is believed that the woman was mur dered Friday night, as a pistol shot was heard in that vicinity about 10 o’clock. What the motive of the murder was is not known, but some believe it was for money while others think some per son had a grudge against her. Mrs. Cross was a poor woman who did washing and odd jobs for a living. She was also a fortune teller and it is said that many people have had her to tell them their future. No' one, how ever, can get at the exact reason of the murder, and not the slightest clue of the murderer has been obtained. The greatest mystery surrounds the affair, and thus far no light has been thrown upon the murder. The remains of the murdered woman were interred Sun day. Thanksgiving Service. There will be a Thannsgiving seryice at the First Methodist church tomor- # row morning at 11 o’clock. Rev. J. M. White will preach a thanksgivingser- mon, this being the last he will deliver before going to conference at Augusta. Appropriate hymns have been selected for this service, which promises to be unusually interesting and enjoyable. Tomorrow night reports will be re ceived from every department of church work, and Pastor White will read the report he is to make at conference. The condition of the church is better than it was at the close of the conference year twelye months ago, though it was very satisfactory then. A Strong Petition. A petition has been circulated this week and liberally signed by the cit izens of Gainesville protesting against the establishment of a dispensary in this city. The petition has been for warded to Representatives Smith,Sloan and Senator J. K. Thompson with the request that they work and vote against the measure. The petition was signed by representatives of every class of bus iness and is a strong one. Those who are in favor of the dispensary claim that they are in the majority, and say that it should be established. The action of the legislature will be awaited with interest. Post Office to be Moved. ! The inadequacy 1 of the room where the post office now is necessiates the re moval of the office, and the question as to where it will be moved to has nar rowed down to two points, the Hudson house corner or the nia*'ble yard corner, opposite the Hynds Co.
