Discussing the beautiful wood produced in
Georgia, the Americus Recorder says: while
the artistic mechanics of the North are spend-
ing almost fabulous sums and large amount
OF LABOR upon walnut knots and bird 's-eye
maple, the yellow pine OF the South offers more
beauties than either. and can be procured at a
price almost nominal. ANY one who has seen

beauty and variety or its grain 1t is suscepUi-

Macon Telegraph, describing the AFFAIR, says:
About halr-past nine on Sunday morning two
pistol shots rang out clear and loud in the vi
cinity of the Macon and Brunsw wick Railroad
depot Then man was seen TO run tOtteringly
from behind the depot building and stagger
aud fall between the two tracks. A crowd num-
bering fully thousand people, mostly negroes,
rapidly cOngregated around the PROSTATE man,
who proved to be no other than the notorious
kinch Glover, now weltering in blood At p
c clock word reached Coroner Guerrardie, who
had the body removed to the house of his wife,
only a short distance from the spot where he
was killed. A jury was at once empanelled, with
Mr.. Dan. H Adams as foreman. The evidence
adduced before the jury was of the most un-
satisfactory character. None of the witnesses
could swear to the identity OF the man who
fired the shots. One witness declared that he
saw a man fire at Kinch, and after Kinch had
fallen, 60 up to him. and, seeing that Kinch
was dying. said ne would go for a hack and
then disappeared. Other witnesses sWOre
that they Kinch run out from behind the
depot and fall crying out that he was shot.
The jury could not do otherwise than return g
verdict to the effect that the deceased came to
his death by pistol shot fired in the hanJs of
some person Or persons unknown. The ball
entered the back to the right coming out at
| the nipple. The second bail missed its mark
and was found imbedded in a freight car on
the track. Further investigation of the affair
will be made to-day, and possibly the real facts
| Will become known. Rumor is busy with the
matter, and an officer is implicated, but as to-
day 5 investigation will throw light the mys-
