A Negro Shot and Killed, and all for
Love.

At an early hour yesterday morning
the dead body of a negro, whose name
has not t%ranspired, was found lying
across the Holly Springs road, some
five and a miles from the city, a bullet
hole through the body showing how
the unfortunate man and brother had
been taken of. A little inquiry de-
veloped that on Sunday night the ne
gro whose body was found had escort
ed to prayer-meeting a mulatto girl,
the fdnce of one Addison Sparks, the
church at which services were held
being situated some half mile beyond
where the murder was committed.
After the congregation had been dis
missed, the unknown, and since dead
darkey and his lady charge started
homewards, closely followed by Adj
Olson Sparks, who could scarcely see
his way, so blinded was he by jeal-
ousy. Unable longer to control his
feelings, Sparks walked up to the
