Selman, of Chattan ooga, was going to locate at Cross Plains, Ala. We were misinformed, as the doctor’s home is at Chattan ooga yet; however, he has large mineral and mining interests at Cross Plains and frequently goes there to see after them. Will Webb, of LaFayette was in town again Monday. Wc could see from the gusto with which he told of the arrival of a passenger coach in LaFayette the day before that he was longingly looking forward for the time when the road will be com pleted to this place. It will be so much easier to come to see her then. I inform kindness and politeness | will win every time. We have I thought of it often and wondered I why it was, but until we made it I our business to see for ourselves we were in the dark. Wc have reference to J. W. Pitts, the leader} of low prices, short profits and} quick sales. Mr. Pitts treats every j one politely, sells them his goods} at cluse figures, has a kind word} and a smile for all, and when you I patronize him once you will do so again. He buys and receives fresh ‘ goods every week and you will find something new every time you go. Wc notice an intimation in the' Walker County Messenger that: perhaps the Irishman who sells li’i-h lin-m sells the goods as much by blarneying as on their merit. What melters if the Irish linen is made in Indiana? It does not matter, for any one that lias the true Irish gift of blarney can sell anything he tries to sell. What woman can resist that soft, sweet, broken, dulcet voice, or refuse to buy when it pleads for the cause of } “Auld Erin?” Perhaps tne linen is } not very fine but then the talk is, land things are al wavs mixed in this world. Notice. There are a good many contractors I } who have not made their report of their work and pay hands. Remem ber your contract, gentlemen. I} want your report so as to know who I pays and who works. Do not delay sending me your report to Chattoo gaville.

Last Tuesday at about 12 :40 p. m. three shots in rapid succession I were heard, followed, after a longer! period, by a single shot. The place ; was in front of AV. B. Hollis's store, and the parties firing were Pig Vann ; and North White. These men had I been quarreling, and as they walked i ;up the street from the postoltlce} corner Vann was heard to say: | “You are a G--d d—d s—n of al b—h!” White returned the epi thets. Immediately, or soon after this, Vann placed his left hand in I White’s collar and placing his right hand, which held a pistol, on White's breast or shoulder, again cursed} i him. White then pushed Vann I back so forcibly that Vann fell.} While on the ground or while rising i j Vann fired. Then White drew i pistol and fired twice at Vann, but' did not touch him. Vann, in spite I i of the encircling arms of John Ross, 'bv some means fired again. This was the last shot. White made a I step or two down the street and t Vann attempted to get on a hitched on the street to make hie? escape, but was unable in his ex- } citement to unhitch the reins; he; then ran behind Johnson <v (Hem- , mons’ grocery, where he was over ta en and arrested bj- John Walker. Vann was lodged in jail. White ivas taken to Dr. Bryant's office, but in spite of medical aid he expired in a few minutes. It is not positively known whjch of Vann’s shots prov ed fatal, the first or the last, some thinking one and some the other. Pig V.wn lives near Price’s bridge i and is about 35 yeaas old. lie is a a man of family. North White was ‘ a son of J. H. White, sr., who lives I west of town, and was about 201 years old and unmarried. The affair is deeply deplored. It brings sorrow to more homes than } one, casts a gloom over the.entire community and no one can be found . who is the better for it or who re- } joiees thereat. May God speed the day when scenes like this will no I more occur. LYNCH LAW. Henry Pope was lynched last Tuesday at about 2 a. m. Unknown persons went to the jail and took him by force from the guard and taking the rope which Deputy Sher iff Knox had bought in Rome last week for tho same purpose, hanged Pope with it to the banister of the court house. The cause of this was a knowl edge that Sheriff Jake Moore, of Rome, had come in town the pre vious evening with a respite from Gov. Gordon and an order to turn Pope over to him. The order au thorized Pope’s removal from Chat tooga county jail to Fulton jail, } and the people who lynched Pope } were firmly resolved that this should i not be done again. Mr. Moore ar-} rived at about 8 p. m. Mon-lay, and I was advised not to attempt to re-1 move Pope until daylight, and that I the only chance to avoid trouble | } was to go iu broad daylight, as it j was thought no one would attempt ito interfere during the daytime. But at night Mr. Moore would have } certainly been attacked and valna- I ble lives would most certainly have i been lost, ns Mr. Moore is a man of nerve, and would not have surren-, ! dered the prisoner without a strug-} gle. Mr. Moore’s business became .known by some means, and a crowd of men very quietly proceeded to the jail, and entering the back door was in the building and had poses sion as the keys, which were hang ing up, before any one inside knew anything about it. Resistance was not attempted for under the cir- } cumstances it would have been use less. The men proceeded up stairs and unlocking the cage hurried Pope . out. They took the rope which was to be used in hanging Pope next ■ Tuesday. Going with Pope to the [ front of the court house they led him, or dragged him. up the stairs and making fast the rope, to the I banister pushed him off, the fall being about twelve feet. Pope made, no confession and did not talk any. } Immediately after the party left the i jail with Pope, Sheriff Worsham j hurried to Judge Maddox’s reSi-j deuce, awoke him and together they I went back to the scene of trouble, i When they arrived Pope was dead, though he, upon being moved, show | ed signs of life, and was quite warm. I He was cut down and removed to I the sheriff’s room, where, during the : day, Coroner Ratliff held an inquest. The coroner’s jury, after hearing I the evidence of quite a number of j persons, found that Pope came to his death by the hands of persons ! unknown. Pope was buried by } colored friends AYednesday. I This ends, it is to be hoped, I what has been one of the most dis ‘ tressing and perplexing cases that I Chattooga county has ever experi- I enced. Th re are some who be lieve Pope was innocent, and his guilt or innocence is a matter of } individual opinion. But there are I no means known by which the guilt lof Pope could be arrived at except I the means that have been employed. Pope was allowed two fair trials; his witnesses, although living in another state, and although there is no law which could have forced their attendance, were induced to and ue; he was treated kind j ly, rind I'.r’d every favor shown him } that any on? could reasonably ask ‘ for a man who was charged with the heinous crime of rape. Wc re } peat there is positively no means | other than what was employed that Ici-uld have been used to determine : hjs guilt or innocence. Twenty four as gc ?l men as there are in 'Georgia, ■' weighing tne evi lder.ee and carefully the Mh>i and every feature of the case, being charged and instructed I in points of law pertaining to .the i case by the ablest judge in Georgia I were constrained by their reason, conscience and their best judge ment. to ri lnrn a verdict of guilty. There is not a shadow of unfair ness charg'd by any one; there were no advantages taken in any way, and in the name of God who can say the juries were not right? What power, or what agency, or what means could have been employed to | determine his guiltother than what i w-re used, and fairly used? And j if the jtiri ’s 'were right Pope deser- I ved death. The men who lynched j Pope were of the opinion that the } jury had d: termined the matter, and } that if Pope had been taken out o! Chattooga that his sentence would } have been •.•ornmuted and he would never hav..- D-eu brought back. Tha: ‘.S • l ’ ; ' . 'J OCI . : 'll Rev. W. A. Milner will preach at j Trion next.

Only a few weeks ago our dear littli Willie was with us. Now, alas his chair is vacant and his familiar voice is silent. God called him to his heavenly home April the Bth, 1888 at 3 o'clock p. m. Little Wil lie was loved by all; no child was ever more tender, kind and affec tionate than he. How radiant with love and joy was his life in the home circle, and overwhelming sor row cast its shaddow over that home circle when he died. Weep not, loved ones; it will bring com fort to think that all things work together for good to them that love the Lord. I tender to the bereaved family the sincere condolence of my heart, praying that the Lord may cheer their loneliness in this season of deepest sorrow. Hark! the golden harps sue ringing; Sounds unearthly till his ear. Millions now in heaven singing, Greet his joyful entrance there. We’ll meet again, bye and bye.
