A Homicide.

On last Saturday afternoon homicide
was committed at Kennesaw in this county
1t seems that a negro man by the name of
Frank McWhorter had been paying his ad-
dresses to coloIed girl living at the house
of Nathan Anderson, alias Crow, colored.
Crow had forbidden McWhorter to visit his
house. McWhorter then made some threats
OF his intention to do personal violence to
Crow who heard of it, and on meeting
McWhorter last Saturday afternoon asked
him if be had made such threats. McWhor-
ter made no reply, but knocked Crow down
with heavy stick, striking him on the
head, fracturing the skull from which he
died on last Monday. Deputy Sheriff Nc
Lellan went up on Monday to arrest Nc
Whorter but he had absconded.

MY VISIT.

railway station and aboard the cars bound
for visit to my newly married friends from
whom had Just received news that they
had inst secured cottage and had fixed up
quite home-nest. and by the last mail
they had so kindly remembered their old
bachelor friend as to write "A letter asking me
to make them a visit. | smiled to myself
many times u / would recall the past, and
how very unsophistieated they must be and
how awkward they must appear as host and
hostess, but soon the brakeman calls out
Marietta" and as | had sent no letter to
herald my coming, / set out alone for
street and in less time than | have been
talking to you | was being received by
both Fred and his little treasure OF wife,
who were just preparing to sit down to tea
in the dearest cosiest, little dining room

life.and again, no one must laugh when 1

surely every thing was beyond compare,
and to be an invited guest in that house
was indeed an inestimable treat. 1t is in the
domestic affairs of every day lite that re-
gain the best insight into true character.
! confided in my friends and asked them to
help me set up an establishment like UNI

an enchanted bower even now us visions OF
the tempting rolls, biscuits, buckwheat
cakes and waflles which would almost melt
when put in my mouth, the delicate cakes,
delightful meats, and withall the happy
faces of Fred and his wife would remind
one of little harem where we could al
ways find comfort and rest, they both assur.
ed me of their hearty cooperation and
shall long remember the smile that played
over Myra face when she assured me that
all would be well if would always buy my
groceries from McClatchys store, for they
have learned he keeps only the best of Ba-
king Powders, Fresh Canned Meats, fresh
canned fruits, Ono shelf worn goods,) pre-
pared buckwheat, pure coffee and teas, (no
adulterated sugars) in fact the Groceries
sent out from McClatchy's find no equal in
the market in quality or price.

that involves treachery to his own people, the

he denies what have charged, he is beneath
the notice of any honest man"
"Thers ia one thing" said Governor Smith,
as he turned away, Chat would like to call
the attention of the public to. From the date
Of that Markham House conference DR. FELTON,
has not used one argument that can DO adj

the state. His continual whine has been in
favor of allowing insolvents to vote without
paying tax, and protest against the punish

whole case upon an appeal TO dead beats and
criminals. II il clearly the duty of every cit
zen OF the state TO pay his poll tax. Public
schools are in part sustained by this poll tax.
and it 1t ia not paid free education must to that
extent cease in Georgia II is only fair aud
