Mr. Richard Peters, Of Georgia,

Berkshire is doubtless, the best

MIILEDGEvILE, September 15.-

/ place in forty-ei8ht hours and he re-

OF the final result. which proved too
true. On Friday, vomiting commen-

hausted bis low and debilitated con-
dition could stand it no longer, and
at the above hour lie expired. He
was conscious up to 4 O'Clock on the
day he died, and talked to his visit
ing friends. In the morning. at his
request, he was baptized by the Rev.
Mr j. NJ. Stonev, of the Episcopal
church. He viii be buried this after

No death in our townin the past eight

great grief, as shown by the tears
streaming down their cheeks. There
were oli family servants, and several
said that they would rather give up
one Of their own children Than to
give up Mas Parish. He was kind

ANOTHER MURDER IN
WORTH.
Mr.. j. W. Calhoun Killed by
Alien Ford Colored.

AALSh ora &OkofSu.
News reached the city early yes
terday morning that 3Ir. James w.
Calhoun had been shot and Instantly
killed, in Worth county, late Sunday
afternoon, by negro named Allen
Ford. Two citizens Of Worth came
to the city after a coffin and burial
suit for the remains of Mr.. Calhoun,
but their stay was very short, and
the News AND ADVERTISER failed TO
get an interview with th4m. Those
who talked with them say that the
gentlemen were not very communi-
cative upon the subject Of the unfort
unate affair, and we are, therefore,
unable to give anything like a full
statement Of the particulars.
From all that We could learn, how
ever, it seems that the negro, Allen
Ford, had been charged by Nj. Cal
houn with stealing bride from him.
They quareled about itrecentlv, and
On Sunday afternoon Mr.. Calhoun
met the negro in the road with the
stolen property on his horse or mule,
whereupon he made an attack upon
the negro-either for the purpose Of
recovering The bride, OF administer
ing a fogging-it is not known
which. When Mr. Calhoun adyanc-
ed upon the negro the latter drew
his pistol and shot him, the ball tax
ing effect in the region of the heart
AMI producing dea;h almost instant
ly.
We learn that the affair was wit
messed by two negroes only, and
hence it is, perhaps, that a more sat
isfactory statement Of the facts can
not be obtained. 1t is also said that
dr. Calhoun was unarmed.
The negro made his escape, and
had not, up to last accounts, been
captured.
MIR. Calhoun was a well-to-do farm
er OF Worth county, and was highly
esteemed by his neighbors. He
leavesa wife and seven little children.

Beauty

The most dangerous thing on earth
is beauty. A pretty face, hand
some form, fine suit Of hair, a lit
tie hand or foot, we'll proportioned
limb, has ruined many young man
and woman. The handsome and the
beautiful are almost invariably sub
ject to inort3inate vanity, in them
selves; and there is always lustful
eye, or designing heart, lying in
wait, like a serpant, TO betray those
afflicted with such vanity. No
doubt Absalom,s splendid form and
luxunant head Of hair ruined him;
there has been many an Absalom
since, as there was many an Absalom
before-both male and female.
''Beauty is duty it has been
well said there is no harm in beauty
subordinated We love to look upon
the beautiful and when it is ac-
panied with mental vigor, manly
grace, womauly virtue, i; has charm
that nothing else earthly possesses.
Persons really homely ought to
make themselves as beautiful as
possible and by culture and refine
ment many deficiency of nature
may be supplied. 1t has been said,
however, that
"Beauty's but skin deep,
Ugly's to the bone;
Beauty fades away,
Ugly holds its own.
This may be true, physically, but
the beauty Of accomplishment never
fades away. Pretty is as pretty
does, is the best maxim and style
Of beauty. We have seen very
honely people who were charming
and fascinating, because they acted
BEAUTIFULLY; and often, these persons
grow upon Us in what seems to be
personal attraction, and because
their conduct and demeanor and con
yersation are accomplished. This
too is style Of beauty that is never
given to vanity nor sdbject TO temp
tation. There is no harm in this
kind of beauty; it is proof against
larm, Better than all, this beauty
is in reach Of all; and the most
homely and ugly need not be dis
couraged by what nature has not
done for them. a well stored mind,
a pure heart, beautiful life, elegant
address, fine powers Of conversation
these give grace to face and form
and action that may make the most
ungainly handsome.
II one is beautiful without accom-
plishment, that beauty is woefully
discounted and we have often seen
q fair face and handsome form that
possessed no attraction Whatever,
save to lustfuI eyes and low grovel-
ing disires. Such beauty is otter
the curse Of mankind; and it IS doubt
ful if any cause has been more pro-
life Of evil in the World. Let everv-
body try to be beautiful above na
lures beauty. Health on the face is
better than rouge or powder.
Grace in the heart is more excellent
than grace in the heel or toe on the
ballroom floor. The clothing OF
character is better than all the adorn-
ment of fine habiliment. A jewell
in the mind sparl,les above the dla-
monds around the neck. The beauty
of worth and dignity IS above tie
wealth Of rubies. Virtue and wis
dom and modesty are necklace
that outgraces the cluster Of Jas
| pers on the bosom.

A Startling Double Tragedy.


A terrible tragedy has occurred in
