We notice one thimg in our
town that we greatly regret, and
that is our churches—their condi
tien, etc. Buchanan i 8 ihe couniy
site—the county towm, and with
only preaching onee &’ manth, and
that church without any place to
hold its services. We should, by
all means, have preaching every
Sunday. Our neighbors are
pointing the finger of scorn at us
for our conduct.
The writer whileona C. R. &
C. train, aman from Massachusetts
in speaking of our town, asked us
about our churches. When we
told him the truth of our situation
he was astonished and remarked
that this was the first county site
in the south that he had heard of
but what had good churches.
And now we ask this question:
Are we behind the whole creation
?in religious matters? This should
stir us up and let each and every
one of us put our shoulder to the
wheel and put it in motion.
If we let the film of prejudice
and hatred always remain over
our eyes, we will never build up
our town, we will build no churchs
school house, niceresident houses*
nor do nothing else for the up
building of our little city, and
our ‘latter end will be worse than
the first. :
’ fi?f course some body will find
‘f It with this article, but never
‘theless it is nothing but truth. It
is a fact that Buchanan has never
secured a school teacher on whom
all would consolidate. Let us all
co-operate with each other, for in
union there is strength; but in
vice there is destruction. Live
peace ' with thy neighbor. ‘Let
love be without dissimulation.

A HORRIBLE CRIME.
AN UNKNOWN MAN KILLED—HIS
BODY FOUND,
The Coroner's Inquest—The Jury's Ver
dict, Eto.
Buchanan was thrown into ex
citement last Sunday evening by
the news coming to town that a
man had been found dead in a
log hut at the old camp, two miles
south of town. Several of our ci
tizens congregated together and
at once proceeded to the camp to
investigate the report. When
they arrived at the camp they
found that a man had been mur
dered in a most brutal manner.
The facts are as follows:
On last Sunday evening, Mr.
W. M. Bullard, who lives about §
of a mile way walked over to the
camp with some boys to get old
powder cans, in which, to put ash
es, and while looking for the cans
he walked up to the hut, which
was built to hold forage, and
looked in to see if there were any
cans in it, whereupon he saw a man
lying on his face. He called him
but no answer came. He then
walked down to where the boys
were and asked them to go back
with him. They all went back
to the hut and looked at the man
and decided that he was dead.
They quickly informed their near
est neighbors and upon a thorough
examination proved that he had
|been murdered in a most brutal
manner. Coroner Jackson was at
|once notified, and on Monday
morning he impaneled a jury and
a close examination of the wounds
followed. It seems that the per
petrators of the crime slipped up
on their victim while he was
asleep ard used three hickory
sticks and had literally beaten his
head into a jelly. A part of his
skull was knocked entirely off,
and his brains spattered on the
wall above his head. The man
had been dead for several days.
His pockets had been searched
and their contents removed.
A bunch of keys was found on
the bed by him. A valise was
found under his head, in which
was found a bottle of chloroform,
a key-hole syringe, two chisels,
and various other things. Also a
copy of the Carroll County Times,
with a piece torn off, as if to tear
off the name of the subscriber. A
piece of paper was found in his
shoe with the name J. B. Collins,
written on it.
The following is the verdict of
the Coroner’s jury:
“We, the jurors, \impaneled to
investigate the murder of some un
known person: We find no pa
pers by which to indentify the
person. We, the jurors, find that
said deceased came to his death
by blows struck with hickory
sticks, supposed to be in the
hands of Willis Perkins, Bill Ter
ry, and some unknown negrees.’’
T. P. Moore, foreman. Wm.
M. Bennett, W. R. Groce, Isaac
Weatherby, J. W. Worthy, R. K.
Holcombe, J. S. Loveless.
The negros that were accused of
the killing were arrested, but
there being no evidence to sustain
the charges, they were released.
NUMBER 10.
| “Why doesn't he take Hood's
Sarsaparilla?’ is the general in
quiry of friends when a person
suffers from any disease of the
blood.
Mrs J, P. Gady, of Draketown, wants
to inform the ladies of Haralson. and ad.
oining counties that she is prepared to
each the method of cutting garments by
the New Simplicity system, furnishing a
chart and giving all necessary instructions
to enable any one to make complete fits
of any garment
Col. W. P. Robinson had the
misfortune of getting his foot hurt
by a hand car last Sunday night
while -going down to where the
man was found dead.
That tired, debilitated feeling,
s 0 peculiar to Spring, indicates
depraved blood. Now is the time
to prove the beneficial effects of
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. It cleanses
the system, restores physical en
ergy, and infuses new life and
vigor into every fibre of the body.
LITERARY NOTE.
It will be of interest to thou
sands of war veterans, as well as
the Southern people generally, to
know that W. L. FacaN, of Ala
bama, who was an officer in the
Confederate Army, has compiled,
and M. T. Ricaarpsoxn & Co., 84
Reade St., New York City, will
soon publish the most complete
collection of Southern Songs; camp
fire, patrotic and sentimental,
ever gathered together in one vol
ume. The title of the book will
be ‘‘Southern War Songs,” and it
will be elabarately illustrated and
finely bound. The intention is to
make a volume which can be used
for Birthday and Holiday Gifts.
