Charged With Murder of Mrs.
Elizabeth Cross.
Dave Shoeraake, a young- white man,
was arrested last Saturday morning- by
Chief of Police Smith, charged with the
murder of Mrs. Elizabeth Cross, which
occurred on the twelfth instant. He
was given a preliminary hearing before
Judge Sims at 11 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing. being unable to employ counsel,
Cols. Letter D. Puckett and Samuel C
Dunlap Jr., were appointed by the
-judge to represent him at the hearing.
A number of witnesses were sworn
and testified. Evidence of a very
damaging character was brought out
against him, tending to place the crime
upon his shoulders. Witnesses tes
tified that Shoemake had told them
the night of the murder before the body
was found that Mrs. Cross had been
murdered and that a bullet hole was
found in the back of her head. It was
also brought out that Mrs. Cross had
$25 the day previous to the murder and
that Shoetnake, who was trying to get
a man named Redmond to go to South
Carolina with him, had said to him that
he would soon have $25 with which to
make the trip. After the murder this
money was found in Shoemake’s pos
session. This fact and others equally
as damaging were brought out which
strongly indicates Shoemake’s con
nection with the crime.
The evidence was sufficiently strong
to authorize Judge Sims to bind Shoe-
make over to the January term of Hall
Superior court, when he will be tried.
He is now in jail where he will be safe
ly kept until his trial comes up. Shoe-
make maintains his innocence and says
that he is wrongly accused.
NEW TRIAL REFUSED-
Henry Roark Will Now go to the
Penitentiary.
First Methodist Church.
The thanksgiving service at the
irst Methodist church last Sunday
as well attended and very much eu-
>ved. Rev. J. M. W hite preached a
lanksgiving sermon, which was strong
ad forceful. The music Was very ap-
ropriate and was an enjoyable feature
l the service. At night the reports
■om every department of church work
ere read, and a most excellent shovv-
ig was made. Pastor White- read the
jport which he submitted to the con-
irence at Augusta this week. The
anditiou of the church is much better
lan it was one year ago, showing that
reat progress was made during the
ist twelve months. During Rev. J. M.
ihite’s pastorate the church has pros-
ered, which is very complimentary to
im and to its strong membership.
Daughters of Confederacy.
The Daughters of the Confederacy
ill meet at Mrs. J. R. Boone’s on next
riday Dec. 2d at 3 p. m. This rneet-
g is for the purpose of collecting con-
ihutions to aid in building the Winnie
avis Monument in Richmoud, A a., the
ork on which will begin in January,

iis object are cordially invited to at-
iid, and contributions received from
mpathizers in the cause will be trans-
l-red to those in authority in Rich-
on d.
i line of Christmas cards, New
cards and calendars shown by
Campbell & Son this week are
erful bargains. See them quick,
irices on them are very law.
The Supreme Court has refused Hen
ry Roark a motion for a new trial. The
decision was handed down last Satur
day aud is as follows: The judge hay
ing stated in the presence and hearing
of the jury, at the time certain testimo
ny was being offered in evidence by
ihe state, the particular purpose for
which it was admitted, the fact that he
in iiis charge to the jury, omitted to
again make the Su.^e statement in re
gard to this ttszimony, is not sufficient
ground for a new trial.
The evidence warranted the charge
complained of on the subject of mutual
combat betweeu the defendant and the
deceased, and there was no error in
the charge upon the subject of vol
untary manslaughter, or of justifiable
homicide, of which the accused can
complain. The entire charge fully and
fairly presented to the jury the law
governing the issue in the case, aud
there was sufficient evidence to sustain
the verdict of guilty. It is probable
that Roark will go the penitentiary 1
very soon to begin serving his life sen
tence for the murder of Ernest Find
ley.

From Kansas to Georgia.
Mr. S. B. Cantrell, who moved from
White county to Leavenworth, Kansas,
twenty-nine years ago, has moved back
to Georgia and this week purchased
the farm of Mr. M. L. Dunnaway near
town. This is one of the nicest farms
in this section and Mr. Cantrell has se
cured a valuable property. Mr Can
trell's coming back to good old Georgia
is a splendid sign that ihe empire state
of the south is far ahead of other
states. After remaining in Kansas for
twenty-nine years tussling with its
world famed grasshoppers and mixing
with the politicians of the Mary Ellen
Lease stripe, he comes back at last to
settle down with the people of his
childhood who cannot be excelled the
world over. M r. Cantrell is a good cit
izen and he is warmly welcomed to
Gainesville, where he will no doubt
continue to make friends and prosper.
