The Atlantic Monthly.

That the publishers of The Atlantic
intend to maintain the high character
of the m gazine in all departments durin G
the year 1879 is fully shown by their
programme for the coming volumes
The most able writers will treat of topics
of political, economical, and social inter
est; serial and short stories by the best
American authors will be given; and
the admirable critical papers, transatlan-
tic sketches, studies in art and history,
etc, which have been found SO attractive
in the past, will be continued. The At
lantic will still be the medium through
which SO much of the best American
poetry is first given to the public. There
will be letters from New York and Wash
ington, the Contributors Club will be as
varied and brilliant as ever, and special
attention swill be given to the depart
ment Of criticism in which the magazine
has long been unrivaled. The January
number Of The Atlantic certainly shows
no failure on the part of editors or pub
fishers in amply fulfilling these promises.

A double murder occurred about ten miles
west OF this place last Saturday evening. Late
on Saturday afternoon s. w. Smithy met on
the road Dennis Edwards coIored. Smthy

touched his horse he would strike him. Smithy
then rode off in the direction of Justice Bor

said he wanted to be tried for difficulty had
with Dennis Edwards. Boring told him to go
home and get sober, and come back on Mon
day. Edwards, coming up said he wanted to
go home and keep out of the way OF Smithy.-
When Edwards was gone, Smfthy asked Bor-
ing to loan r him gun; that he W, wanted to go
if it would be any harm to kill that id negro.
He was advised not to modest Edwards. He
then went to the house of Mr.. Rayburn, where
he succeeded in borrowing gun. He then
went to John Jerrolds, and together the two
proceeded to the house of Will Wood, where
they borrowed another gun, and purchased
some whisky, powder, and shot. Both then
mounted one horse, and rode to the cabin of
Edwards
Arriving there about O'Clock, they called to
Edwards TO come out. Edwards opened the

Another Railroad Meeting

Immediately after the adjournment Of
Mr.. Emmitt's meeting, another meeting
was organized by again calling I. T. Mon
ahan to the chair No Secretary was ap-
pointed. II. L. Chapman then produced
the printed statement Of the Company
just issued, and read at length from it.
j. L. Jones asked him what had become
of that ten thousand dollars that belong
ed to the men who had performed labor
on the road, under the first contract. He
said he had asked Mr.. Emmitt, but he
would not tell We then asked Mr.. EN-
mitt and Judge DuHadway Mr.. Emmitt
said there was no money. We asked
him how he came to swear to the petit
ton, which stated that there was money.
He did not appear to know. Judge Du-
Hallway said that his recollection was
that the petition stated that the compa-
ny owed this money, and asked whether
it should be paid to the contractors, or to
the men who had performed the labor
He decided that it should be paid to the
men. A receiver had been appointed,
but when he was called upon Tor his re-
port, he reported that he never had any
money. AS the money was the only
thing which gave the Court jurisdiction,
and there had been no money, therefore,
the Court had no jurisdiction, and on
motion the case was dismissed.
Mr.. Whiteley, President of the road,
Mr.. Fry, ]. L. Jones, and others, made
short speeches, and resolution express
| ing confidence in the present manage
ment, was passed by large majority.
