must have something about it that in.
duces murder it may be in the atmos.
phere, or it may be in the tact that it is at
point where it is convenient tor peri.
patetlc murderer to stop on his way TO
parts unknown. At all events i, il an

more murder there or whereabouts than
is usual at or near country village.
We have another killing to record,
which occurred In this wise, as
we learn from Mr.. Z. D. Watson,

negroes named Thomas Riley and Mike
Oakley, who were working on section
of the Mississippi Central railroad, about
six miles from Fulton, had a serious
dispute, after which both of them went
to bed. Riley nursed hls wrath until
about 4 O'Clock this morning, when he
arose. dressed himself, anu quietly taking
pistol from beneath the bed, shot and
instantly killed Oakley. Riley then took
TO the woods, but was seen at some hour
this morning on the track OF the 2. and
N. railroad, and will probably make for
this city,
