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 ! movements from - old home | stead to the new held. 'Hie 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.
