He can easily do i.. About as
easy as lie could on Folk Thomp

the place is scorned, ignored
and forlorn. The only hope ex

A Card of Thanks:—The ju
ry on the Langston and Brewer
case, while upon duties which
befell us. guided by Mr. Will
hanks, the baiii/F, and under
the charges given us, it was our
pleasure to enjoy Ihe feasl at
Rev, Mr. Rorie’s, while at his
place of abode, and we heartily
thank him for his kindness and
rich nourishments which he and
his good lady so nicely prepar
ed for us during our stay.
Very Respectfully submitted:

The acquittal of Tom Langs
ton, charged with the murder
of Will Brewer, was expected.
The evidence was not sufficient
—being all circumstantial and
very light. The jury could find
no other verdict. Whether he
has been shkdtled in his inno
cence or guilt of a premeditat
ed, high-handed murder and
robbery by (lie lawsofourcoun
try, rests with him and our God.
By his freedom he has not re
lieved the feeling in this coun
ty that he is not the guilty man.
lie is now inMadison county
on a farm with his uncle, a Air.
Hunt.
The citizens in the portion of
the county where Brewer was
killed, avow vengeance if ever
Langston is caught in that sec
tion under any circumstances.
Communicated Wcchlr,
[By Rev. T. O. Rome.]
Ebenezeris down ii the edge
of Franklin county, and is in
the midst of a nice class of peo
pie. I always move in that di
rection with great pleasure.
Congregations were good 3rd.
Saturday and Sunday.
Went home with Bro. Tom.
Neal Saturday, where I spent
Saturday night very pleasant
lv. Took dinner Sunday with
Bro. Neal. These Neals
are always kind to the preach
ers.
There has been more sick
ness than usual around Eben
ezer this winter. Everybody,
nearly, has had measels, and
qui'e a number have; had pneu
inonia. Grandma Coker died
last week with pneumonia. 1
hear that other members of the
family are sick with it.
Miss Oallio Carlin has been
si;k for some weeks.
I had a nice trip to Athens
and Oglethorpe county, last
week. Could fill a page of this
paper with what 1 saw and
heard.
The court in Ilomer was well
attended. We had every class
here from “His Honor,’’ down
to the profane horse swapper,
and the peddler. Its been many
a long day since we bought
; n 'thing from one of these pe
tit s'riai s. I like to buy goods
just when I need them, and
Irum someone that will stay
and be responsible for them.
The Langs on case was the
drawing card. Several law
yers spoke on the case. It is
my opinion that no better
speeches were made than those
hv Cols Elwards and Brown.
Of course they did not push
their bands into their hip pock
ets and roach their hair back
and root like some of the rest.
But the facts and the a gu
tnent were there.
'J hese young men acquit ted
themselves with a grace and
eloquence that I had no idea
they possessed.
It is said that the jury on
this case was as good as could
have been had in Banks. The
verdict was made out in a few
minutes, which was, “We, the
jury find the defendant not
guilty.”
Several have asked me to
print the decisions of the court.
I have room for only a few of
them:
Airs. Al. L. Armer got a di
vorce from William Armer.
Case of Stephens vs. Sump
ter dismissed.
Case of Dalton vs. Ctnnolly
dismissed.
Case ofSouthers rs. Gowder
dismissed in favor of deft.
Two other cases under this
head settled the same way.
Strange vs. Connolly, ver
dict in favor plff.
Curtis vs. W. E. & L. L. Sim
mons, verdict in favor pllf.
vVood vs. Brock, judgment
in favor deft.
Lockhard & Neal vs. AleAlil
len, verdict in favor pill's.
Dundee Company vs. Clarke
& Jordan, verdict in favor defts
Guest vs. Duucan, verdict in
favor of deft.
fieriington vs. Hawkins, ver
diet in favor pi If.
Tom Jackson plead guilty
and was fined $lO and costs.
Walker Thompson was fined
S3O and costs.
Andy Wright S2O and costs.
J. W. Bates S3O and costs.
Mr. Bates was tried in Hom
er Monday for lunacy, but the
jury brought in a verdict of
‘•Noi crazy.”
Tlie stockholders and others
say they will give SIS,OOJto
Ihe new railroad if we will run
it by Wright’s mills. Surely
no ot her man in Banks will ev
er be heard to say the road will
not be built, when such bids as
the above are being made. Die
fact is, the thing is getting now
to where it can’t fail. This i>
a good route for a road b id,
and there are men all along the
line who will be glad to take
stock.
This road is going to be built
and money is going to locate
id The road is coming, and it
is coming straight to those who
believe in it and take stock in
it! Paste that last statement
in your hat. Let the road in
to Homer from the north side
—run paralel with the river to
Wright’s mills, and then if Car
nesville don’t want it, why, lei
'er roll right on to Fort Lamar
—to -Big Jim Smith's,” and to
Augusta.

Chicago, AJarch 24. A dis
patch frmn Fierre, S. D., says:
while some workmen were
excavating yesterday on the
bluff north of Capitol Ilill, the
skeletons of ten human beings,
all seemingly thrown into a pile
together, rocks and other de
bris being "thrown on top and
covered with dirt were discov
ered. Six of the skeletons were
white men and one a white wo
man. the others being Indians.
Bullet holes were found in five
of them. The head of the wo
man Had been crushed with a
hatchet. An arrow head was
found in the breast bone of an
Indian skeleton.
.Nothing was found about the
remains as a clew to who they
were except a silver medallion
dated 1847 having the name
Henry McKenzie on the re
verse side and an inscription
noting the bravery of the wear
er at the battle of Buena Vista.
001. Joe Reed, a fa moats scout
among the Sioux forty-five
years or more, was shown the
medallion and he said he re
membered McKenzie. He said
the last recollection he had of
the man was thirty-five years
ago when he started out with a
party consisting of his wife,
four men and several Indians
to go through to Fort Benton
from old Fort George, twelve
miles from the river. The par
ty never arrived at Fort Ben
ton and no traces of them were
ever found. He thinks these
skeletons are the remains of Me
Xenzie and his little band, as
the Sioux were semi-hostile ac
that date.
