A GRUESOME DISCOYaRY.
THE SKELETON OF A MAN FOUND IN A
SWAMP NEAR BRADEN.
No Clew to the Myetery. Supposed to
Have Bees A Suicide.
While cleaning up a cane-brake
on the farm of Mr. J. L. Brand,
near Braden post office, last Tues
day morning, two negroes found
tho remains of a man entirely
decomposed. They at once
notified Mr. Brand and a party of
citizens hurried to the scene. The
coroner was sent for, and upon
his arrival a jury was selected to
investigate the case.
They found the remains to be
those cf a white man, judging
from the shape of the skull and a
small lock of hair sticking to the
hat. All the flesh was gone from
the skeleton, and the bones were
found torn apart and scattered
over the ground. The clothing
and shoes were entirely rotten,
showing that they had been ex
posed" to the weather for many
mouths. An old cap and ball
pistol, with one empty chamber,
was picked up. together with a
pocket knife aud thirty cents in
money After gathering all the
bones together, it was found that
the man had died from a pistol
shot wound in the head, the ball
entering the right temple and
passing out on the left side.
The skeleton was found in a
dense swamp, about two hundred
yards from the Seaboard railroad.
There were no papers or means of
identification, except the name
“John Dickison” scratched on the
handle of the pistol, but whether
this is the name of the dead man
will probably never be known.
After fully investigating the
case, tho jury returned a verdict
that the identity of the man could
not be learned, and that it was
most likely a case of suicide.
Coroner Wilson had the remains
gathered up and buried at Har
mony Grove cemetery.
Death of Thomas Upchurch.
Thomas B. Upchurch, a well
known man forty-eight years of
age, died at his home 20 Daniel
street, yesterday morning after an
illness of some time.
Mr. Upchurch was a prominent
Mason and was a member of At
lanta Lodge No. 59, and also of
Mount Zion chapter No. 16 Royal
Arch Masons. He leaves a wife
aud six children to mourn his loss.
The funeral services will be con
ducted from his residence at 10
o’clock this morning, and inter
ment will occur at Betbesda
church,Gwinnett county, with Ma
sonic honors. The remains will
be taken from the city on the 12
o’clock Seaboard Air Line Train.—

A Delightful Entertainment.
Friday evening last a most de
lightful program was rendered at
the College Hall by some of Law
renceville’e most cultured young
ladies. The program was com
posed of a play, “The Champion
of Her Sex,” and several lovely
solos, both vocal and instrument
al, together with several recita
tions that could not be excelled.
The play, one of the best we
have had here, was composed of
the best characters, who did their
part perfectly.
The whole audience roared with
laughter while the part of Miss
Minnie Peeples, “The General,”
was being acted, and also the reci
tation by Miss Gertie Kuauf.
Miss Addie Brand, with her rec
itation, held the audience spell
bound. The piece was exceeding
ly difficult, but she mastered it
well.
The two Nightingales of the eve
ning were Misses Lilly Ambrose
and Addie Brand. They each in
their solos reached the highest
notes without the least effort, and
made them sound very sweetly.
The song snug by little Misses
Julia and Luelle Brand was sung
very sweetly indeed, and enjoyed
by all.
The instrumental solos were by
the greatest composers, and were
played well by Miss Daisy Am
brose.
Taking the whole program, we
can rightly say it was a perfect
success in every sense of the word.
The young ladies contemplate
going to Buford on the 25th inst.
to render their play,
Mr. T. F. Walker, of Norcross,

SENSATION AT GAINESYILLE.
THE GRAND JURY IS INVESTIGATING
THE SI SMITH LYNCHING.
Ollia and Hark Beil Said to Have Skip
ped to Farts Unknown.
Tho grand jury of Hall county
is investigating the recent, lynch
ing of Si Smith in the Hall coun
ty jail, the particulars of which j
are fresh in the minds of our read-’
ers.
Taylor Hamilton has turned j
state's evidence and disclosed tho j
names of all the members of the
mob but one, whom he did not!
know.
He has implicated Ollie and
Mark Bell, Henry Towery, Tom
Bryson, Charley Tanner and Char
ley McAfee. Bryson and Tanner
are in jail at Gainesville.
It is reported that Ollie Bell
and Mark Bell are missing and
cannot be found. Ollie Bell, up
to a week or two ago, was a popu
lar traveling salesman for John
B. Daniel & Co., of Atlanta. In
quiry made at the house of that
firm in Atlanta Wednesday devel
oped the fact that Bell was no
longer connected with that firm,
and his whereabouts was unknown.
The grand jury was in session
Wednesday afternoon at Gaines
ville, but we have, up to going to
press, failed to learn whether any
true bills were returned or not.
The affair is creating a gr at
ueal of suppressed excitement in
Hall county, aud the outcome of
the investigation is awaited with
much interest.
Cooper Vs. Neal.
Neil, the expert cotton statis
tician,has issued his estimate of the
growing cotton crop, placing it nt
12,000,000 bales.
Mr. Neil is a city dude and lives
up stairs in a New Orleans hotel,
and has seen very few cotton plan
tations during his life. He al
ways estimates an enormous crop,
hoping thereby to bear down prices
in the interest of English mill
men, by whom he is employed for
this purpose.
As against his estimate Mr. W.
O. Cooper, who is extensively en
gaged in the cotton business, and
whose headquarters are in our city,
comes forward with an estimate
based on the true condition of the
staple plant as it now exists. Mr.
Cooper has traveled extensively
over the cotton belt, and has care
fully noted the condition of the
growing crop, acreage, etc., be
sides, he has reliable correspond
ents in every county in all the
cotton states. From his own ob
servations and the deductions
drawn from his correspondents he
places the present growing crop
at 9,500,000 bales, conditional on
good maturing weather from now
on.
Mr. Cooper says drouth has cut
the South Carolina crop short ful
ly 80 per cent,. Alabama, 25 per
cent., Mississippi and Texas, 12
per cent., while other states report
smaller damages. Arkansas will
produce about an average crop.
Mr. Neil is only guessing at his
big figures, so Mr. Cooper contends,
while he (Cooper) speaks from per
sonal knowledge and facts. He
says the next few weeks will reveal
the correctness of his figures. Mr.
Cooper predicts 7-cent cotton by
the first of October.
Sunday Sohool Picnic at Eeaver Euin.
In company with Judge Webb,
Col. J. A. Perry and Tax Collector
Moore, the editor had the pleasure
of attending the Sunday School
Association picnic at Beaver Rum
Thursday of last week.
The gathering was a very large
one, some 1000 or 1200 people be
ing present, and the exercises,
throughout were very interesting.
The Association consists of six
schools, though only three partic
ipated.
In the forenoon Col. Tyler M.
Peeples delivered the oration of
the day. He spoke of the great
work the Sundry-school was ac
complishing, holding it up as the
nursery of the church. His speech
throughout was timely and well
received.
In the afternoon Col. J. A. Per
ry delivered an address, which was
full of instructive words as to the
duty of parents to their children.
His speech was highly commended
by the large audience, all uniting
in the opinion that the speaker
is one of Gwinnett’s rising young
men.
Mr. M. M. King is President of
the Association, J. L. Mills, Vice
President, and J. M. Lindsay, Sec
retary. The Sunday-school cause
is flourishing in that community,
and is accomplishing great good.
We had the pleasure of meeting
quite a number of the good people
of Beaver Ruin community, and
we must say that they are a clever
and hospitable people. Some of
the finest farms in the county are
to be found out there, and crops
are very promising, especially bot
tom-land corn.
We had the pleasure of dining
with Mr. G. W. Hopkins, and to
him and his good lady and charm
ing daughter, Miss Julia, we are
indebted for a delicous dinner.
Having tired of the long drive
from Lawrenceville to Beaver
Ruin in a rough hack over rather
rough roads, at the conclusion of
the exercises we sought conveyance
to Norcross in order to catch the
“Bell train,” and Judge Webb
came to our relief by procuring it
for us. To the young ladies who
so kiukly extended us this courtesy
we return many thankß.
