OF Two OLD
oRED PEOPLE IN GEoRGIA.-The town OF
Necrosis, on the Airline railroad, twenty
miles distant from Atlanta. was the scene of
horror last Monday night that illustrates
the depth Of fendishness TO which some men

money, green backs and silver, and the Old
man had recently killed his hogs. During
the night the house was discovered 20 be on
fire, and the neighbors repaired To the scene

from Appearances that no one was living In
the house, and efforts TO save IL were fruit

Two chaTred and roasted forms were found.
One side OF the man was completely burned
away; the other side lying next TO the floor
was comparatively unframed. and q bullet
hole was discovered there, as IL the ball had
come ont from IL. The physicians think the
murdered man was shot in the back, through
The heart, and the woman seems TO have
been shot In the same way. The house was
found to have been robbed or various articles
or food and all the money the old couple had
laid by, rs fruits OF their life long industry.
When the circumstances became known the
entire town and neighbOrhoOd were in a per
iect blaze OF indignation. a m"etir was
bold OF prominent citizens, at which meas
ures were proposed 10 pursue the perpetra-
tor, and the honest indignation that filled
every breast was expressed. NeverhaS that
