1 «>n» parties coming to Moreau from
j Arlington this nook it was Warned that
| Mr. Julian King was killed last Sunday
uiglii by unknown parties on the Jones’
place, just inside Calhoun county.
To begin at the beginning, the partic¬
ulars as beat we could learn them are
as follows.;
Mr. Julian King is overseer on the T.
! F. Jones’ plantation, down near the
j Mr. line King of Calhoun and Early counties.
, had visited his home between
j Blakely aud Ft. Gaines, and it was w hen
he returned to the plantation that he
was shot. Mr. King had unhitched his
horse, turned him iu the lot and as he
put the bridle on the lot. gate post some
one shot him through the stomach with
a pistol. At the report of the weapon
Kiug fell over against the fence his head
catching in between two rails that were
driven up beside the fence, and in that
conditioh he expired before assistance
arrived.
Several of (he farm hands rushed to
the barn at the report *of the pistol only
to find that, their overseer was a corpse.
While it is not known who the guilty
party or parties are, there are three men
under arrest and they will have to con¬
vince the proper parties that they are
innocent, before they will be giveu their
liberty, The three meu, Jack Ingram,
white, John Bailey and Jesse Handy,
both negroes, all laborers on the planta¬
tion, arc now m the Morgan jail await¬
ing developments.
The cause which led up to the arrest of
the three men are, first: Jack Ingram,
the white man, was the first person to i
King’s side afier lie was shot, aud it was
also found that, Ingram had a pistol
with one chamber emptied but the cart¬
ridge hull had been extracted. John
Bailey made the mistake of his life when
he secured one of the plantation mules
aud proceed, d to make himself scarce in
that part of Calhoun comity. A party
of men went immediately iu search of
little Johnnie as soon as it was discov¬
ered that he was missing. Their search
wasn’t very lengthy, however, before
their man was found. The reason Jes.ee
Handy is now boarding with the county
is that he had a fuss with Mr. Kiug
about two months ago and used lan¬
guage that was not at ail becoming to
the occasion, and it is said that Jesse
made some very bad threats. All of
which Jesse is lively to be sorry of at
present.
On Monday morning the coroner im¬
panelled a jury and went to the sc«ne of
the murder to hold an inquest. Up to
the time of going to press the jury had
not turned iu lHeir decision.
A lady went into Mrs. G. W. Col¬
ley’s millinery stove last week and
bought a hat, which she said was the
cheapest and best she ever saw for
the money. She bought it at cost,
that was the reason. You can get
one just as cheap and just, as good.
If you don’t believe it go ami see.
Mr. David Wimberly Is Dead,
Mr. David Wimberly, son of Mr. J. G.
Wimberly, died at his father’s home,
twelve miles east of Morgan last Tuesday
morning at 9 o’clock, from hemorrhagic
fever. He had beer, sick only a short
while, feeling the first symptoms of the
dread disease last Saturday afternoon.
In publishing the death of this noble
young Christian gendemar it brings sad¬
ness to the hearts of everybody who
ever knew him. Ilis perf, cted life aud
honor claimed for him friends that were
lasting. It was known early Tuesday
morning that the soul of this young
man was soon to leave this earthly
sphere and wing its way to bright
realms of peace aud happiness at the
throne of God.
The remains of Mr. Wimberly was in¬
terred in the New Hope jeemetery
Wednesday afternoon at 3 o’clock, Rev.
Mr. Ballard, of the New Hope Methodist
church, of which Mr. Wimberly was a
member, conducted tho last sad rites,

A Small Blaze.
At exactly 10:12 o’clock yesterday
(Thursday) the alarm of fire was
given from the dwelling of Mr. G.
H. Dozier. In less time than it takes
to till it, Morgan’s bucket brigade
was on the scene with a number of
buckets and several lire extinguish¬
ers and went earnestly to work. It
only took about fifteen minutes to
put out the small blaze, which had
caught from tho stove flue in tho
kitchen. The damage will not ex¬
ceed $5. The house is owned by
Col. Dunn.
Mrs. Dozier asks us to extend to
those who rendered their services at
the fire her sincere thanks.
Small precautions often prevent great
mischiefs. DeWitt’s Little Early Kiseis

—If husbands would always let their 1

—The addition of the bay window, or

-—Business was exceptionally good in
Morgan last Saturday, and it, is plain
that our merchants arc selling goods at
rock bottom prices. Look over the ad¬
vertising columns of the Monitor and
find out who the hustling merchants of
tire-county are.
—To ascertain the freshness of an egg,
without breaking, hold it before a strong
light and look directly through the shell.
If the yolk appears round and the white
surrounding it clear, the chances are that
the egg is fresh. Or you may drop it
into water; if the egg sinks quickly and
remains at the bottom it is in all proba¬
bility fresh, but if it stands on end it is
doubtful, and quite bad if it floats. The
shell of a fresh egg looks dull, while that
of a stale one is glossy.—Ex.

A Strange Death.
The lifeless body of Dan Bacon, anegro
of \\ Uliamsburg, was found in the Pa-
cliithi swamp about three miles south of
Morgan, last Sunday morning.
From what could be learned Bacon and
a lii-lle negro boy went into the swamp on
Saturday afternoon to catch a hog that
bad gotten away and was thought to have
been in the swamp. Two or three hours
alter going into the swamp tho negro boy
returned to Williamsburg alone and re¬
ported that Bacon had bveu killed by a
tiog. Several parties went in search of
the supposed dead negro but returnod
without finding him. It seems that tho
boy could not go back to the place where
he left Bacon. On Sunday morning the
the soareh was resumed and Bacon was
found near the mouth of Boggy creek
lying on tho ground near a largo clay-
root,dead. On outside investigation proved
that he did not have a single scratch
on his body, but on close examination It
was found that Ills neck was broken.
It Is supposed that Bacon was in the act
of striking tho hog with a pole when his
foot slipped causing him to fail backwards
and breaking his neck.
Joe Daniell, J. P., impianellod a jury
and went to the swamp and held an In¬
quest. The verdict was that he camo to

a fall.

Judge A. I. Monroe held the usual
proceedings of the Ordinary’s Court last
Monday. There was no business of any
special importance transacted. Tho only
thing worthy of note was that Henry
Turner applied for letters of administra¬
