Will Have an Independent.
The people oi Banka county are
vary much dissatisfied with the
way the nomination for representa
tive was made and an independ
ent will he out. The names of B.
F. Suddath and Judge A. C. Moss
have been spoken of as probable
canlilates for the place.—[Ban
n r-vVatchman.
It is true that there is consider
able dissatisfaction among some
wilh regard to the work of the con
vention, but no candidate has for
mally announced in opposition to
Mr. Coggins. It is not at all prob
able that J inige A. C. Moss will be
a candidate, but it is more than
likely Mr, Suddath will. We had
an interview with the latter gen
tleman on the subject one day last
week. He states that he has no
desire, whatever, to re-enter poli
tics; that he does not want any of
fice, and that he holds Mr. Cog
g'ns in the highest esteem person
ally, but that he has received nu
merous and strong solicitations to
enter the race as the candidate of
the people; and it is entirely with
his friends. If they assure him
that he is the choice of the people,
he will make the race in defference.
It has been suggested that a
mass meeting of the citizens of the
county be called, to take into con
sideration the advisability of plac
ing another candidate in the field.
The dissatisfaction that has
grown up out of the work of the
convention was foreseen by the Ob
server, and we insisted that no
nomination be made at present.
Something will have to be done
to harmonize the party into line.
A Brutal Crime and its Results,
From a gentleman who lives near
Qn if man, we learn the following par*
tronlars abont one of the moat brutal
and revolting crimes that has ooauried
io the state in a long lime:
L ai* C. Lane, a well-known drum'
rner of Bavan&b, who formerly . liyed
io Quitman, and wb >se mother still
resides Here, was on a visit to be
mother.
On laat Sunday evening he wrote a
not# to a yonng lady acquaintance,
Mias Arriagton of Qoltmsa, inviting
bor to taka a ride with him. She told
her mother she did aet ears te go. nor
mother insisted ea bet daughter's tak
ing the ride, as she thought. it wonld
be treating the yoang man rather rode
ly, and anowered the note farther
daughter.
* * *
After Lane had driven oat of town
be a*ked the yonng lady to kiss him.
She requrs.sd him to takt her back,
and commenced erying. Lane bsggvd
her pardon, and eontlnned aatil they
reaohed a creek, when he teld her his
design, and seined her. She resisted
with all her might.
* * •
The yonng lady begged him to kill
her and throw her body in the ereek,
as ah# did not want to return to Quit
man.
Ht finally agreed to carry her baek
if ebe would not tell on him.
Am toon at she reaehed home she
told her mother, who cemmnnioated
with her husband.
Mr Arrington consnlted bis brother
in law, Mr. Williams, who advised the
killing of Lane,
They went armed to Lane’s mother's
and called Lane oat. Mr. Arrington
told him he bad come to kill him. His
mother jumped between end prevented
Mr Arrington from shooting.
The sheriff and other eitizens son
gathered and Mr. Arrington wae tak
ea off. Lane was lodged in jail
The people were eo greatly aroused
they had determined to lynch Lane
Monday night.
To prevent this Sheriff McNeil and
Mr. James Thrasher started to Thom
with the prisoner. This was
snspected by the oitizene and every
street had been watched.
They slipped out a private way, hot
they had not been gone long before the
discovery was made.
The father and others started in hot
pursuit. Five miles from town the
father and friends overtook and sur
rounded them, and came meeting the
prisoner in the road. Sheriff MeNeil
gave the prisoner a pistol and told
him to defend himself. Mr Arrington
emptied the contents of a doable-bar
rel shot gun into the prisoner.
Lane shot onetime at Mr. Arrington,
hot without effect, and then dropped
dead. Mr. Arrington then esme up
and placed hia gun at Lane’s head,
and emptied the other barrel into his
bead, tearing it all to pieces;—[Thom

Public Grange Meeting.
Dear Editor Observer:—A'i re
quested by you to give au account of
the meeting announced in a previous
number of the Observer, will say that
Mr. Kimbrough of Catania, Hariie
Cos., oa., met quite a number of Banks’
intelligent ladies and gentlemen at Nails
Creek orange, 19tb, and secured the
quiet and undivided' attention of the
audience for one hour and a half, by
onqef the beat -and appropriate address
es we bare ever heard f*om a farmer.
He reviewed tbe present concfition
of agriculture in the Sooth and North*
West; noted the causes of the depres
sion of the farmer and showed how trs
grange Is coming nobly to the front ia
all parts of the baited Sratee. Not
by knocking down |nd dragging oat
other professions, nor fighting tho mer
chants and railroad companion, bat by
a steady and persistent co-operative ef
fort in improving nil tbs conditions
bearing apoa the agricultural interests.
No profession, societies nor in Lid
sals were antagonised, bat indnetry
sad energy were commended in all or
dvrs which have for their object tbs im
provement of the country and the ad
vancement of eoeiety. He urged all
honest nnd intelligent farmers to nnits
with the grange, because, with twenty
years experience and its national char
actor and influence, it ia the best or
ganisation in the world for farmers.
Mr. Kimbrough is a good nun and
one of Harris county's most prosper
ous farmers, and an influential citizen.
He is also lookisg after the interests
of tbs Chstahoocbs Talley Exposition
to be held in Olnmbn*, eommencii g
4: h of October
If not providentially hindered Mr
K mbroagh will be in Homer on Fri
day 27th inst., and if arrangements
an be made, will deliver an address
on Hgiicultare, e'c ,<* night.
When Mr. Kim trough had finish., 4'
his lecture, Mr. J. N Coggins was in
troduced, and in a short speech, heart
iiy endorsed every word of the speak
er and gave his views upon the tariff
and its influence upon agriculture; also
stated his opinion of the issnes coming
before the next legislature.
A notable feature of the occasion
was the absence of the public dinner,
usually so common on sack occasions.
This, however, was pnrpoeely avoided
so that the ladies of the oommonity
wonld not be so burdened with the la
bor and cares of a publio dinne*, th: t
thay could enjoy the meeting, a promi
nent part of which was dedicated to
them.
We hope the delightful rain which
began to fall before the meeting c'osed,
•o helped the withering crops, and re
vived the spirits of those present, as to
make up for the absence of the social
dinner. Maste.
On February 28, 1571, Mareby Hill,
