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.

T. Clayton. 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.

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. Mrs. G. VV.

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 hts death from Internal injuries caused by a fall.
