Bought Bears the The Kind You Have Always «ignature t of AN AGED LADY ASSAULTED at CEDARTOWN by NEGRO BRUTE. On Friday night June 2d Mrs. Lumpkin an aged and highly respected lady of Oedart,own was assaulted by Grant Bell, a burly negro who resided near by. Mrs Lumpkin is a widow lady 73 year3 old and lives alone just in the edge of Cedartown. She is a woman of culture and refinement, highly educated and possesses a mind remarkably bright and clear for one of her age. There is no one living with her to protect her except two uw«rt.*groe. who**lotto ) ard one of whom had been rats ed by the Lumpkins. On Fri¬ day night she was awakened by some one rapping lightly on the door. She called out to know who was there, but received no answer. After a little the knock was repeated and some one call ed out to her that they had brought her mail. Mrs. Lump¬ kin arose and lighted a lamp and set it on the hearth, She then opened the door and was met face to face with the negro. He pot his hand over her mouth and threw her to the floor. When she recovered herself and was satisfied that the brute was gone she managed to get up and open the door and drag her self half walking and half crawl ing to the negro IPhil Lump¬ kin’s house for protection. This old negro and Ms wife took in and ministered to her as they could. They wanted go at ouce for the sheriff and q ave the culprit arrested, but she Stoutly refused to allow them to do so, saying she could not stand the ordeal of a public trial. She went back home and was found by her niece, lying Oll the bed groaning with pain and almost unconscious. Help was quickly summoned and a physician sent for. The negro Grant Bell was ar rested and put in jail by Sheriff W T Crocker. A mob quickly formed and it was with difficul ty that lynchiDg was pievented Judge Janes assured the crowd that he would call a special ses sion of the Polk Superior court to try the Culprit. This assur ance togetber with the wise council of other prominent men the lycbing of the negro was for the time averted. Accordingly Judge Janes convened the Su perior Court, on Monday morn ing and the grand jury return ed a bill of indictment against the negro 1 Mrs. Lumpkin was on hand to fell her story, Wlien she went upon the stand to testify she was not so positive as to her identification of the negro as at first, but there is a general belief that he will be convicted. Excitement lias subsided pond¬ ing the verdict of the jury. A TWELVE YEAR OLD GIRL ASSAULTED AT LITHIA SPRINGS. The little twelve year old daughter of John Smith a res¬ pectable farmer living near Lilli ia Springs was brutally assault¬ ed on last Friday morning by Harve Minifee, colored. Mr, Smith was working in his field and his daughter, Lconie, was sent by her mother to the spring some distance from the house for a bucketof water. Returning through a clump of woods when she was sprang upon by the negro and thrown to the ground. In his insane effort to accomplish his purpose he drew a knife and threatened to cut his victims throat. His purpose failed but the girl was rendered insensible. It was more than an hour before her father knew it, and then in stead of giving the alarm at once kept the matter quiet, thinking by this method to insure the capture of the brute; As soon as the people of Dallas heard of it a posse was formed to hunt for the negro, and while they nave scoured the country, they have not yet captured him. It is believed he is hiding in a dense swamp near Dallas. There is a reward of five hun¬ dred dollars for his arrest, the izens of Dallas offering two dred and Gov. Candler three hu.i dred dollars. The men that are aftc' 1 him are determined to never give up the chase until they secure their prey. CASTORIA. Boars the Ih8 Kind You Have Always Bought Sigaatore of NO. 22. Special Millinery Notice.
