Why Buyers Should Go to That
Place.
Buyers will stand a better show at
present by investing in real estate
in Rising Fawn than any other
part of the county.
The property is not in the hands
of speculator-options, and you do
nit have to pay the owner’s price
and the prico cf the crowd wlm
hold an option on it, as you would
do elsewhere in the country.
There is now in successful oper
ation at lasing Fawn a one hun

large force of fluids and coal lias

* The people'W the town are hos
pitable, the water as good as can 1m
found and the health of the place
go'wl. The busAfcfi portion of
the town lies at the Tnot of u bill
and the residence part on the side,
and no town in tiie country has a
finer natural drainage. The gar
bage at every rain, is washed off,
and nothing is left to cause a dis
ease, or the spread of an epidemic.
The only fault that can he foiled
with the town is that it is not laid
oil in any shape.
There is no streets or cross
streets, to amount to anything and
the parties owning it do not feel
enough interest in the matter to
keep the town or streets any shape
whatever.
Investors should make a visit to
thia place.
'there are times when a feeling of
lassitude will overcome the most robust,

Sarsaparilla; at Cole’s.
Don’t! Don’t! Don’t!
Don’t give anv more options on

your property at a higher figure
than it will bring when developed,

Don’t be bamboozled into believ
ing every man that tells you that
the town will make a big manufac
turing city and cause you to run
vour property uo when you
are offered more than it is
worth. Such a man is your enemy
and wants an option on it so he can
make a big pifo off of you.
Don’t listen to men that talk
nothing but option. Tell him to
plank down the cash and he can
get wnat he wants.

TRENTON, GA., SATURDAY. JUNE 15, 1889
A CONVICT KILLED.
9
BY A SIXTEEN YEAR OLD BOY
WHILE TRYING TO ESCAPE.
Joe Cox, a Guftril at Cole City Killed
George Simmons, a Desperate Con
vict—The Negro Captured—
Borrowing! ’lot lies. Etc. Etc,
“Drop that gun.”
Jt was George Simmons, a con
vict at'Cole City, who had been
“sent up” from Cobb county tor
cracking a safe at Austell about
one-year ago, who made the above
comm; nd.
The time was Thursday, a week
ago, when the three convicts men
tioned in last week’s paper made
tlfbir escape.
It was only a sixteen year old
boy he was talking to, Joe Cox,
by name and a guard. As
Simmons drew his pistol, a look
of determination could be seen on
the boy’s face as he threw his gun
to his shoulder, and said :
“I don’t have to,” as he sent a
load of buckshot into Simmons,
giving him a wound from which
he died in a few minutes.
It was George Simmons that
planned th (> hsi ape for himself and
companions, and it was his frieuds
who smuggled the pistols to them.
When Simmons ordered young
Cox to throw down hi& gun his
companions were standing around,
and when young Cox opened fire on
Simmons, they returned bis fire.
From some cause oniy one barrel
of Cox’s gun would fire and only
one cartridge in his pistol fired.
He stood snapping his pistol, while
they were shooting at him. Seeing
what kind of a position he was in,
he threw the weapons down and
ran to his house, got his own gun,
and as he ran out, shot O’Shield’s
turning him completely around,
and then turned the other barrel
I'ortftHa'dyWrt jK the
The negro was not with the
white men when they were plan
ning their escape, nut seeing the
pistols and watching the white
men, saw them leave and followed.
When Cox shot Simmons down,
he grabbed Simmon’s pistol and
opened fire on Cox, but the little
fellow stood his ground and routed
them.
The negro left in one direction
and the whites i.i another. He
was caught after a desperate fight
Saturday evening. He was shot
through the head, but is still alive.
He was carried back to camp, hut
could not give any information as
to how the whites got the pistols.
He is a desperate character. A
few years back he whipped Capt.
Reese for which he was whipped af
ter he was brought out. He told
the captain that he had never been
whipped in his life, but, that as he
had whipped the captain he would
take fifty lashes, but not a lick
more, and that he himself would
count them. The lash was laid on
to him with all the force the cap
tain could command and after the
fiftieth lick was struck told him to
stop, but paying no attention to
the command the whipping boss
started to give him another, but by
his great physical strength broke
loose, and tore his handcuffs off
and he could not be put back to re
ceive any more lashes.
The two white men out were in
for stealing.
The names of the convicts were
Sydney O’Shields from Bartow
county.
George Simmons,from Ohio, sent
up from Cobb county for trying of
rob a safe at Austell.
George W, Mangham, sent up
from Gwynette county for rape.
William Armour a desperate ne
gro and noted criminal from Ful
ton.
Young Cox told Capt. Reese, af
ter the excitement was over that
the company’s arms were calculat
ed to get a man killed, and he would
not go on guard with them auy
more.
It seems that the company should
keep nothing but the very best of
weapons, and the latest improved
good repeating rifles. There are
desperate men in the camp and to
escape will do most auy thing.
It is said that Simmons died
cursing the people of the south and
he refused to tell where he got his
weapons. His last words were an
oath.
His partner is in the ore mines
at Rising Fawn.
The two convicts that havees-
caped stripped off their convict
garb and went to a house on Sand
mountain and told the family they
were after the convicts; that the
convicts had overpowered thorn and
taken their clothing They asked
od for the loan of a suit
each and said that Capt. Reese

“The Land of the Midnight Sun"
must indeed be an interesting portion of
the earth’s surface to visit if we mav
judge from the extremelv interesting
ainf beautifully illustrated article of
that region that appears in
Demorest’s monthly magazine for
July; and that modes of travel in the
far-off country are ages behind the
times is clearly shown by turning to an
other article in the same number of this
valuable FAmily magazine. In a most
charming manner we are told of the
“Comforts of Modern Railway Travel,”
in our own country, and the illustrations
gives us i comprehensive idea of the
luxury one mav lind in one of our pal
aces on wneels, from the kitchen to the
boudoir. “Birds In Our Homes,” by
Oliver Thorne Miller, also handsomely
illustrated, will please all lovers of our
feathered friends; “Aids to Beauty,” a
series of articles commenced in this
number, will certainly be of great bene
fit to those who wish to enhance their
personal charms. The stories in the
July number are particularly attractive
and summery, and the beautiful “Rose”
froutspiece is a study in colors well
worthy of framing.
