Thoughtless Going and Com
ing.
A great many of our young
'men are moving West every
year and the sentence at the
! top of this article expresses the
nature of the case in a large
num lx t ui i > . -re
and i:- and
while they In. .-my auOe
traits of char r a-- :i 1 uh-,
they are in a gr. aU'< /r e leek
less, and though'.U-.-s in tbOr

change of ciimale, (he hard
work and ilie expo-ore, to t-ay
nothing of the dis-ipation iliat
often follows in Lie train of
these moves, very often brines
them back dead, and therefore,
thoughtless.
If the energy Unit is requir
ed to succeed in the West was
put into some enterprise here,
a good living could be made,
and money besides. But grant
ing that our lands are poor, and
that but little can be made, we
would better make a little than
ruddling. I would rather live
here in Banks county where
every frugal, hard working man
is making enough and to spare
and has good health to boot,
than to go where I would be
in imminent danger of fusing
my life.
Several young men liava
gone from tins county in the
last year or two and been
brought back a corpse. A gen
tleman Iron) Oglethorpe tells
me that nearly every boy that
leaves Oglethorpe county for
the West, is soon brought back
in a box He says the boys
down there have got to where
they are afraid to get beyond
Atlanta, and well they maybe.
there is a bright future for
this country and our boys, too,
it they will stay at home, stick
to business and be honest.
Boys, let’s thank God that
we are not dead, but living in
Banks county, which is the een
ter of the woild, and the garden
spot.
A Preacher Killed.
Rev. John Ltace, a Methodist
preacher, was assassinated in
Union county last week, 'ihe
minister was ou his way home
from church when attacker!,
and his throat cut from ear to
r iu - and his body thrown into a
creek nearby. The coroner’s
jury that investigated the case
came to the conclusion that l;e
was murdered by Turn Swam
and others, on account, of ins
threatening to report the par
ties if they sold his boys any
| more whiskey, iiis head was
almost severed from his body.
The work was done with a knife
near Lance's residence and his
body was found by his little
boy, who was on his way down
t > tire barn to feed the stock.
Lance made a desperate
defense, as evinced by
the cuts on his hands made in
fending off tlso licks of Ids an
tagonist. The parties are in
jail.— [Dahlcnega Signal.
