Baconton notes the fact that Camilla has sent four of her boys away to school, and rather than be left she has decided to send four, perhaps five or six of her girls away. Home offers many inducements to these girls, in¬ ducements that double in value when they are to be left behind, but when, in the tance, they see life with all her forces ready for battle, know that they must prepare for this fight, so with sinking hearts and swimming eyes they decide to leave the dear home for a while, Prof, F.

Ga. $i.00 a Year Killed His Mother-in-Law and Cut His Own Throat. On last Saturday afternon, Messrs. T. J. Jenkins and J. B. Henley and Taffy Childs, of Baconton, brought to Camilla on the afternoon train a negro man ' V tbe name °* desse Bennett, who had> tn Saturda y ni 8 ht - kllled his mother-in-law and tried to ld,] himself cut ‘ his fchrwatand stabbing him self in the breast. He was turned over to Sheriff Smith, who had his wounds dressed and then lodged him in jail ■ to . answer to . the .. c Superior court to the charge of murder. Bennett, who lived on the Tur¬ pin place, about four miles from baconton, had been in the habit of beating his wife whenever oc¬ casion suited him and because his mother-in-law remonstrated with him for his cruelty, he be¬ came infuriated and without fur¬ ther provocation, made an attack upon his wife’s mother with a knife, inflicting wounds from which she died in a short time, and it is supposed that realizing the enormity of his crime and the penalty attached should he be brought to trial, he undertook to end the matter at once by at¬ tempting to take his own life but 'without success. His wounds, while severe, are not necessarily fatal ones, and while, it is said that he begged that he be allowed to die,'he is doing well and bids fair to stand his trial at the fall term of Supe¬ rior court.

Government authorities here are becoming weary of the num¬ ber of cases brought up lor de¬ molishing or injuring the United States mail boxes along the pub¬ lic highways.
