A HORRIBLE CRIME.

One of the most shocking crimes
we have ever heard of was commit
ted in Burke county on last Satur-
day. Alfred lnman, a son of Mr..
Jerry Lnman, one of the most prom>
inent citizens of the county, became
so enranged in thirst for liquor that
be murdered bis own wife in the
most brutal and horrible manner
imaginable. Mrs. Inman was a
daug hter of the late Thomas Grubba,
one of the wealthiest men in Burke
county. When she married Alfred
Iuman he, too, was we'll to do 10 the
world, and their welded life was one
of joy and happiness. Late years
reverses set in ADD Inman took to
drink, and had squandered all of bis
own property and demanded that Of
his wife, to satiate bis appetite. -
This she refused, as she had children
to care for. They had some harsh
words and separated on last Satur>
day, she proceeded to neighboring
store to lay in some clothing for her
self and her children. He found out
that she had about $500. He foI>
lowed aud way laid her. She was
on horse back With pine knot it
is said, he literally crushed her
skull. One lick seemed to be on
the back of the head, and another on
the forehead After he had done
his cruel work be reported that the
horse became frightened and she
fell, her foot caught in the stirrup,
and thus she was killed. Investiga-
zion proved that it was done with bis
own wicked hands. Mrs. Inman
was buried at Bark Camp, near
Midwife, Burke county, on Sunday
last, and the miserable murderer is

have prompted the commission of the
foul deed, was to obtain $500 to

DO YOU WANT FRUIT ?

1t il now too late to drag the
earth away from the roots of the
trees. This should always be done
in the fall of the year, and the roots
should be kept bare until late in the
spring. This is attended with two
advantages. The cold.kills the in
sects about the roots and impedes
the rising of the sap and the prema-
ture blooming and formation of fruit.
But though the crop is in danger, it
need not be lost Fruit is most of
ten killed during the sudden changes
Of tie month of March, which rarely
last long The approach of these
changes is heraIded by wind and
rain At such times, if the farmers
will fire all the stumps in and around
the orchards, or, in the absence of
stumps, will build fires of stuff cal
culated to produce a heavy smoke,
the fruit crop, or at least q goOdly
portion of it, may be saved. That
which is saved is likely to be good,
the trees not being overloaded. -
Peach trees in full bloom will stand
very sharp cold. The dangerous
point is when the bloom is about to

Dalton Citizen tells about a man
who will hereafter be sure he is

himself in the yard and commenced
a watch. About y o'clock he de
