ently intending to ride to Carrollton. IVbile
on horseback he remarked: "Mv horse can
outrun any horse in the state, and whoever
says he can't tells n <1???n lie.??? Hanvey who
was in the house at the time said: "Don'tcall
me a d???u lie.??? McMullen replied: "I didn???t
call you a d???n lie. I said my horse could
outrun any horse in the slate, and whoever
says be can't tells a d???n lie.??? Hanvey

pocket, opened it. walked tip to McMullen
and without another word plunged it into his

as n> whether drunken ness could he an excuse
for crime is considered by competent critics as
one of the finest legal arguments, and must
have been convincing to tlie jury. At the
close of the'trial .Judge Harris reviewed the
case in a charge most clear, forcible and com
prehensive. He presided throughout the
trial in a way that gave evidence of broad le
gal culture and <] uni ideations aptly fitting
him for the position be bolds. The deceased
was highly rcsjieeted and left a wife and one
child. His greatest fault was his passion for
drink. The defendant also has a wife and
one child. His wife is daily exjiecting to he
confined. His aged father and mother, grief-
stricken and heads Irowod down, sat beside
him throughout the trial, lie is a fine speci

iias forever blighted him.

exploded match scattered fire all around in

aflame. The building,-all the machinery and
near or quite twenty bales of cotton were
consumed. The negro ginner who was in the

unfortunate carelessness as to he almost crazy.

lively appearance by putting quite a number

AMEBievs.October 9.???Many hearts in Amcri-

nouneement of the death of Mrs Mamie Tur
ner, which occurred ra'lier suddenly at 5
o???clock this morning. Mis. Turner was the
wife of Mr. John W. Turner, our popular and
efficient telegraph operator. Mrs. Allen,
wife of Mr. J. H. Allen, clerk of the superior
court of tliis otiunty, is very low witli con
sumption, and her life is hanging by a slender
thread, which may be snapped at any mo
ment.

confederate money. He has always been

cumstances now. but will be the wealthiest

Our readers remember the report of the
shooting ot Mrs. Stephenson in" Gwinnett
county about six weeks ago by her steji-
nephew, also named Stephenson, and the ex
citement that prevailed on account of it. it
has been a remarkable case in some respects,
and lias served as the principal topic of inter
est since in all the section around where
it occurred. The most remark
able tiling connected with it is that
the woman has not died, though
there has not been a day tvlien it was not said
there was no hope of her recovery. It was
thought that she must die in less than a week,
but she has lingered six weeks. The same
report is now made that she cannot get well.
The testimony before the commiting court
showed that the gun used was an old army
musket. It was loaded with balls which the
prisoner moulded himself. The gun moulds
and one or two of the balls have been found.
Since the shooting the superior court lias
been in session, and an application
was made to Judge Erwin to fix
bail for the prisoner???s release. He said he
would do so; and named $15,000 as the
amount, which was a virtual denial, as there
was no hope of Stephenson giving it. The
judge did not intend that lie should get out
merely to run away and escape justice, as lie
certainly would do. The trial was not held
because no one could tell the result of the
wounds, and if she dies, as it is believed she
must, it would not do to try him for a less of
fense than murder, in the wounds
the woman received, and the fact
that she has survived so long there
is some similarity to the case of the
dead president. It has seemed impossible
that she could live a week Linger at any stage
of her case, and yet she is still alive. Instead
of one wound as the president
received, she has three, all of
them in the hack near the kidneys. One of
the balls is lodged in her spine and it is dan-
erous to attempt to extract it for fear of her
immediate deuth. Altogether the ease is
decidedly interesting, and avc Avlil keep our
readers posted about it as it progresses.

Dawson, October 12.???Just ten days ago I
informed vou of the sudden death of Dr. John
R Jane* of this place. To-day it becomes my
painful dutv to tell vou that his wife died this
morning at*5 o???clock. Her death was most
unexpected, and has cast a gloom oyer our
entire community. It is thought that her
death was due to heart disease, ns she com
plained about A'A o???clock of a severe pain in
the re-ion of her iicart. Medical skill was
unavailing to prolong her life. She lias seem
ed to have no desire to live since the recent
death of h*r husband, whom she loved very
fondlv. She leaves five children, three of
whom are under the age of nine years.
Marietta. October 11.???At 10 o???clock this
morning tiie roof of Mrs. E. F. Anderson???s
kitchen ivas discovered in fiames. The gal

their steamer, and the flames ivere extinguish

voting men will be united in the bonds of
matrimony to one of Marietta s fairest daugh
ters. Charles E. Caldwell is going to put
up a building on tbe vacant lot beside the
Kenncsaw house. He will use it for a restau
rant and fancy store.- Last Sunday there
were four funerals in our quiet town???some
thing so unusual that it cast a gloom over the
entire community.
Marietta, October 10.???As yet tlic railroad
rates cannot be counted as among the many
attractions at the exposition. Our people are
all anxious to attend ami suppose most of
them will do so, but are looking for a greater
reduction than 2'A cents per mile, besides
being obliged to pass by the grounds and sub
jected to tiie unpleasantness of a large crowd
and ten cents additional each way. It is
lioiied the authorities will -remedy this matter,
as it is one that will have its tveight.
