We presume that the State press, that portion that Dr. Felton has interested in what he calls a more humane treatment of the convicts, will now send up an unearthly howl over the killing of a convict at Cole City by a guard sixteen years old. 111. SING PAWN. 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 dred ton iron furnace employing a large force of fluids and coal lias been found wry'closo. This alone, if shown up, as it should he, will a person to reap a- large prof it-jon hi< istmeutfc. * 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, when the system craves for pure blood, to furnish the elements of health and strength. The best remedy for purify ing the blood, is Dr. J. H. McLean’s Sarsaparilla; at Cole’s. Don’t! Don’t! Don’t! Don’t give anv more options on your property, You can sell it as easily as the person you option it to; besides, it will bring you more. Don’t be persuaded in putting your property at a higher figure than it will bring when developed, ?^ e r' nm °^t it m&m man get more out of it than you, when you have been paying taxes, etc., on it all your life. 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. Pimples, blotches, scalv skin, ugly sores amt ulcers, abcesses, and tumors, unhealthy discharges, such as catarrh, eczema, riugvvorrus, and other forms of skin disease, are evmptons of blood im purity lake Dr. J. 11.

Cole, dealer. 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 woe*, i; -keR all right with them. U<‘s<.::iti<Miß of Respect. Pi tnibb- and resolutions in re gard i ■ the death of Bro, T. C.
