played the violin. The pro¬
gramme consisted of recitations,
dialogues, dramas and farces,
and was as good as the travel¬

town. Good order prevailed
throughout the whole of the ex¬
ercises, with the exception of a
few crowing boys, who, as it
was said, “Were entirely too
young to crow. ) >
We congratulate Prof. Clot

giving the people an entertain¬

so as an instructor. We do not
hesitate to say that one of these

and that soon he will be one of
the best teachers in the land.

CUT TO DEATH
BY AN ENRAGED FARMER.
A Father and Son Go to
Field Where Riley Stewart Is
Working, and Begin a Quar¬
rel, Which Results
art’s Murder.
On last Monday evening Mr.
Riley Stewart, nephew of our
fellow townsman, Mr. W. T.
Stewart , was stabbed to death
by Mr. Sanders McDaniel, both
of the same community and
members of the same church.
The killing occurred on Mr.
Stewart’s plantation, near Beth¬
any, Newton county.
It seems that there was a dis¬
pute between Stewart and Mc¬
Daniel’s father about a land line.
It is said Stewart made several
propositions, first to pay half for
having the line surveyed, where
upon McDauiel refused to pay
anything. Stewart then propos¬
ed to pay the whole, and that
the county surveyor’s line settle
the dispute. But this did not
please McDaniel, and he Wont
to his house, a short distance
away, and called his son from
the field. It is reported that be¬
fore the father and son left for
the field where Stewart was
working that young McDaniel
ground his knife and put it in
his pocket open. The father was
first to reach Stewart, and re¬
newed the quarrel, and began
abusing Stewart when Stewart
knocked him down. Then the
son sprang upon Stewart with
open knife and.cut him to the
heart. An inquest was held over
the dead body, and the jury de¬
cided that McDaniel was
guilty of murder and that his
father was accessory to the
crime. They arc in jail at Cov¬
ington.
Mr. Stewart leaves a wife and
several little children, for whom
the people of Conyers have the
most heartfelt sympathy, a.
