A TRAGEDY.

The Vicksburg Times, of the 18th inst has
the following account of the killing of man
named Boday, by his step-son, Cornelius
Battle, near the village of Edwards, in Kinds
county, Mississippi !:
On Friday night William Boday. drunken
and worthless character, was killed by his
step-son, Cornelius Battle, at his residence,
four miles from Edw rds's Depot The par
tculars, as we learn them, are as follows !:
A little over three months ago Boday, while
under the influence Of liquor, beat his wife
in suoh brutal manner that her lite was de-
SPARED Of. At that time she was epciente, and
the beating she received caused the premature
birth of her child For nearly one month
she was ss.ended by two physicians, who
with great difficulty saved her life.
After beating his wife, Boday left home.
and his step-son, Battle who is q young man
about twenty-five years or three years old,
threatened to kill him if he ever returned to
the house. After leaving home Boday went
to Edwards and remained there until about
two weeks ago, when, through the interces-
sion of friends, he was allowed to 20 home to
his wife, on the condition that he behaved
himself Last Friday Body was at Edwards
depot and, and drank alargeamount Of liquor
during the day, and about 7 o'clock in the
evening he started home. After going home
he struck his wife several times, when her
son, Battle, interferred, and ordered Body to
leave the house, which he refused to do. Bat
tie then seized his double-barreled shot gun,
and discharged both barrels at Boday, killing
him instantly. One load entered Boday's
right lung aad the other his head No At
tempt has been made to arrest Battle up to
Sunday morning, as the entire neighborhood
say he did right.

MESSAGE OF GOV. SMITH, OF GEORGIA.

hESEAGE OF GOV. SMITH, OF GEORGIA.
ATLANTA, Jan. 15.-Gov. Smiths annual
message was read in both houses of the Leg.
islature to-day. 1t shows that there is bal
ance in the treasury of 81 ,OO3, 1913, and that
the affairs of the State are in prosperous
condition.
At the close of the message he deprecates
Federal interference in the affairs of the
Southern States and shows its evil effects.
The message concludes as follows:
During the last ten years the General Gov
eminent has violated the liberty of citizens
overturned and created State Governments at
will, and committed other fragrant violations
of the Constitution.
1.-THE browning act in this course of usurpa-
ton and wrong is the attempt to stifie, BY the
strong arm Of the military power, the will of
the people of Louisiana expressed at its re-
cent election. In popular governments the
untrammeled exercise of the election fran
chise, the purity of the ballot-box, are at
once the form and essence of public liberty.
The recent attempt to pervert the popular
will in Louisiana may well excite the gravest
approximations. ~
There would, indeed, be little ground Of
hope for the perpetuity OF our free institutions
if such usurpations were met with public APP
athy. Happily, however, it has produced the
contrary effect, and patriotism finds encour-
agement in the almost universal sentiment OF
condemnation this grave wrong has evoked.
The change in public sentiment indicated by
the recent elections, also leads us to look for
early reformation of the policy and practice
of the Federal Government towards the South
ern States.
"If the policy Of irritation should be aban-
doned and the people be lett to themselves,
the two races would soon establish social and
business relations with each other, as their
own peace, happiness and true interest re-
quire it. In other words, our people only ask
that they be secured in the great right Of local
as it also existed in all the
States of the Union, but which is now enjoyed
alone by the people of the Northern States.
" If the Government will but give us home
rule, revenue tariff, an honest administers
lion and sound circulating medium, we
shall not have long to wait for the return of
peace and prosperity to all parts Of the coun-
ry and among all classes Of people"

PoLKvILLE, SMITH Co., Nav s, 1875.

MAJ. WALL: We are getting along with
farming, in Smith county,, better than we
have for years. We have had a good aver
age spring for work and we have made good
Ten per cent. less cotton planted than last
year, and 80 per cent. more oats. The oat
crop is exceedingly tine-the best for years.
The oats planted in October are now head
ing out, some in bloom. Seeing the great
contrast between October oats and those
sown in the winter many farmers say they
will never sow in winter again. You will
please state in the VINDIoAToR that the
next meeting of Smith County Grange will
be on the Friday before the first Sunday in
July next, at Polkville, where the County
Grange will be reorganized. Masters who
have not received the A. +. w. will attend

Our enterprising townsman, William j
Brown, sr, has, for several years past, made
the study of burning fluids speciality, and
has established q trade that is not merely
local in its extent. His oils are the best in
the market-such as have been subjected to
the severest tests His customers-and they
are numerous-will be glad to learn that he
has reduced the price Of his oils as follows:
Non-.Explosive Petro, by the 10 gallons, SOC
single gallon, 60c.
Septolne, by the single gallon .40c.
A superior article of Coal Oil, Crown brand
fire test by single gallon, 40 cents; by the
gallons, 35 cents.
All other brands Of Coal Oils are sold by
him at New Orleans retail priees.-Jackson

Mr.. Brown is justly entitled to the above
complimentary notice, for he undoubtedly
sells the best and the cheapest burning fluid
ever brought to jackson. And the safety
of his oil is consideration not to be over
