Last week we noticed Prof. D. M.
Wade’s prediction of the uatterpiLar;
tins week we notice some Tapers are
predicting a visit from noth the 17tu
and 13th year grusslu pper, the toi mer
being more negacious, we presume
will confine their trav Is to the North

tour of each of the Southern States.
This is bad, for with bread and meat

to feed them. We fear the Southern

The negro, Jake Ilall, who, without
provocation, killed Connie Mulligan
about a year ago, was tried in Early
county Superior Court last week and
found guilty of involuntary manslaugh¬
ter. His Houor, W. O. Fleming, pre¬
siding, gave him the fail benefit of the
law—three years in the penitentiary.
While we think the penalty by no
means commensurate to the crime,yet,
when we consider the equivocal char¬
acter of much of the evidence, we are
disposed, to believe the jury did right.
Among the visitors to towii this
week, we notice Mr. A. J Hiugleter-
ry, Mr. "Alfred Barksdale, T. F.
Jones, Mr. II. C. Frym and W. II.
Alexander, of Blakely; Dr. Monroe
