Dr. Barrett and
Wife Beaten to
Death.
CRESSWELL, GEORGIA, THE
SCENE OF THE AWFUL
TRAGEDY.
On Sunday night last about .9:30
o’clock a terrible tragedy was enact
ed near Creswell, Georgia, six miles
west of Griffin, in Spalding county,
Dr. Barrett and his wife both over
80 years of age, were literally beaten
to death with a car couplin pin in
the harids of some unknown party.
Mrs. parrett was killed instantly
and the Dr. after suffering untold
misery for several days died Thurs
day night.
Will Nunnally, a grand son, was
the only one living with the old peo
pie and when he come home Sunday
night he found the old people welter
ing in their blood. He aroused the
neighbors and everything possible
was done to save the life of Dr. Bar¬
rett. For a while it whispered around
that young Nunnally was the murder
er, but it is now known beyond any
doubt that he is not.
Every effort is being used to find the
guilty parties. When found Juge
Lynch will surely preside.

News from the Political Center.
What Occurs to Interest
You at Washington.
Speaker Crisp has found such a
hard taskmaster in the grip, that it
is not probable he will be able to
preside over the House for several
days- In that case the House is not
expected to transact anv further
business than th^ election of a
Speaker pro tem, and the adoption
°f a resolution authorizing the em
ployment of clerks to the various
eommittees.

ton has been known to bear a bitter
personal grudge against Mr. Blaine,

Ex-representative Perkins, of Kan

by right of agubernatoiial appoint

be very proud of during the four
sessions he served as a member of
the House- As a statesmen he was
a bad misfit, but as a blind, bitter
p a rtisan, losing sight of everything
but the momentary success of his
party, he was a howling success.
