Rev. DR.. ThOs. HI. Pritchard Called
TO the Baptist Church.

By reference to communication in these
columns it will be seen that the Baptist
Church in this city has called 10 its pas
torate the Rev. DR.. Thos. II. Pritchard, now
President of Wake Forest College in North
Carolina. Strong hopes are entertained
that DR.. Pritchard will accept this call, and
1t will be matter Of congratulation to the
church If it succeeds In securing his SER
vices. The fame OF this distinguished d.
vine has preceded him, and the peo-
pie of our city will welcome
him in their midst. DR.. Prtchard
is about forty seven years old, and is one of
the leading men, not only in the Baptist &C.
nomination Of his native State North Caro-
linal, but of the entire South. At the com
mencement of the late civil war he was
pastor Of leading Baptist church In Baltt-
more, but, on account of his strong sYmpa-
thy with the cause of the South, he was
obliged to leave that city, and came back to
his own people. He was for long time
pastor Of one of the most influential
churches in Raleigh, N. c., which he left a
few years ago to take charge, as President,
of Wake Forest College, of which
he is an alumnus, and which under
his administration has become most
prosperous aud fourishing. About ten
years ago DR.. Pritchard made visit to our
city, and preached here in the Baptist
Church. Its pastorate being then vacant,
he was at once called, by the unanimous
vote Of the church, as its pastor. He then
favorablY entertained the call, but, before
deciding the matter, he laid it before his
church in Raleigh, and, it having become
publicly known, the citizens Of Raleigh, at
public meeting, expressed so much regret
at his leaving, and so urgently requested
him to remain, that he gave up the idea of
leaving altogether.
He is now in the prime and vigor Of man
hood-a finished and captivating orator,
both In the pulpit and on the platform.
Genial, cultivated and popular, he will be a
great acquisition to our community and
State, should he accept the call.

recall to remembrance the account which
was given in the MORNING NEWS OF the
horrible murder Of Mr.. n. F. Cornwell.
brother of Mr.. George Cornwell, of this
city, and former merchant of Savannah,
at Barlow, Ga, where he was merchandiz-
ing, in 1877. About midnight one
cold night the latter part of December of
that year, the store occupied by Mr.. Corn
well, and in one room of which he resided,
was discovered on fire, and the flames
spread so rapidly that in a short time the
place was entirely destroyed. It was known
that Mr.. Cornwell slept In the rear of the
store, and the following day search
was made for his remains. In the
debris was found portion of the body,
and information was CLEANED which led to
the belief that the store had been broken
open and robbed, Mr.. Cornwell murdered,
and the place then set on fire with the view,
If possible. OF covering up the crime. Sus-
picion was directed to one Mcdaniel, who
was then serving out sentence in the Dade
coal mines for a murder perpetrated in
Wilkinson county. Detectives were put at
work, and Mcdaniel made a confession to
one of them, unknown to him in his proper
character. He implicated five other parties
Obadiah Ross, James Ross, John Newton
and John Skies, all Of Scriven county.
Newton was convicted last December in
the jefferson Superior Court for this MUIR
der, aud was sentenced to be hung on the
first Friday In February, but was subse-
quently granted new trial by the Supreme
Court, which has not yet taken place. The
other parties concerned were arrested. with
the exception of Obadiah Ross, who es-
capel, having previously confessed his par
ticipation In the crime.
The Nashville american, of Sunday. con-
tains the following particulars of the arrest
of Ross: ga young man, apparently 25
years of age, and thought to be despera-
do, giving his name as Thomas Hill, was ar
rested at Maddux's store, on the Whites
Creek turnpike, by William Maddux and
James McGinnis, Friday night, for an as
sault with pistol. He appeared in the neigh
borhood in the afternoon, and was drinking
heavily. When arrested and examined he
had upon his person a Smith g. Wesson 48
caltbre pistol and also Colts
''Swamp-aDgel" revolver. Around his
waist was encircled a cartridge
case IN which were rs cartridges,
and on his body was 81, 400 in money. He
will have preliminary trial before Justice
Earthman on Wednesday next, and In the
meantime will remain In jail. Hill is thought
to be Obadiah Ross, of Jefferson county.
Georgia, and is wanted for murder there
Last evening Mr.. George Cornwell sent
dispatch to Nashville giving description
OF the man Ross, who was concerned in the
awful crime of which his brother was the
victim, and 1t is believed that Hill is the
identical party.
