Well Laid On.

A Telegram from Crawfordville,
dated August 18th, says:
The residence of Noah Locka-
bill, on a farm near Browns val
ley, was entered by tramps Sun
day night. Lockabill was awak
ened by the noise, sprang from
his bed, and closed with one in
the room. The burglar was rein
forced by two others. Lockabill
is powerful man and flung the
captured burglar against the two
others IN such a manner as to
bring the three to the floor. Then
he went at them with club. His
wife brought the clothes line, and
together they bound the tramps
and sat down and waited for them
to recover. When the tramps re-
gained consciousness Lockabill
asked them which they preferred,
to be taken to Crawfordyille and
placed in Jail where they stood a
chance to go tO the penitentiary,
or be led out, one at time, and
receive such Whipping as he
would administer. They chose
the latter and the farmer took
them out seyerally, tied them to
the gatepost, and administered
one hundred lashes to each tramp
with large new raw-hide wagon
whip. Each stroke of the whip
raised a huge welt on the back of
the tramp, and when the opera
tion was completed a pool of blood
could be seen where they stood.
Their piteous cries for mercy call
ed in the neighbors until little
crowd had assembled to witness
the castigation of tramp No. 3,and
all sympathized with the irate
farmer. The performance went
on till he completed the one hun :
dred lashes.

A Worthless Dead Beat.
#. Gaines Tribune.

IT. Gaines Tribune.
Mr.. George F. Mitchell, the
gentleman for whom these re-
spects are intended, came to this
place eight months ago, and like
the stealthy wolf steals on a flock
Of sheep, he stole into the feelings
Of many of our merchants, who
indulged him, and whom he has
never paid a cent except when
forced to do so. Last Tuesday
evening he went around and told
them all that he would settle next
morning; but in the darkness Of
night, like Shaw's horse thief, he
fled from the city, owing every
one here who would trust him.
Mitchell received splendid wages
at Mr.. Adams paint shop, and
should have had money. He has
apoor widowed mother in Daw-
son at the point Of death, SO we
learn, and refuses to aid in the
least, and as he states, left here to
get further from her. He was at
last accounts near Dothan, Ala
hama, where he will try the same
game on the good people there.
de is splendid on keeping in his
course and that course will soon
lead him into the penitentiary, we
trust. Should he visit Ft. Gaines
again he will receive special at
tention. Pass him around.

l cannot understand why every
one does not enjoy good literature
OF which We have an abundance,
and it is as easy of access as any

pers, if they desire to achieve any
marked success, must publish all
the vile ISLANDERS and murders and
have a decidedly sensational ten
dency, for the reason that most
people read only such things in a

Now, a word of advice: Young
people, resolve that you will read
works by standard authors. II
you do not like them at first, cul-

resolve that you will inspect the
reading matter which comes into

A Murderer's Death.

LumrAln Independent - .,-v
Ourareaders will remember the
details of a shocking murder
which was committed at the camp
Of Perkins Brothers, early in the
spring, on the line of the A. P &
L. Railroad, when a negro man
was killed and his remains burned
in his shanty. At the April term
of our Superior Court a negro boy
named Simon Prince was the mur-
derer, but for want Of sufficient
evidence to prove his guilt he was
acquitted. 1t, was believed by a
great many, however, that Simon
Prince was the murderer. Last
week in Webster county Simon
lay upon his death bed and as he
felt the shadows of death drawing
closer around him, his mind re-
verted to the midnight scene
above Sawyer's mill. The ghast-
ly victim lay stretched upon the
ground and he could see the burn
ing timbers of the shanty fall up
on his upturned face. The sick
man shrank from the awful spec
taole and in agonized tones cried
out: II have killed him once,
keep him off, keep him off," His
death is said to have been an aw-
full one and as his end drew near
the remembrance of his fearful
crime become so fixed upon him
that his eyes seemed to start from
their sockets as they gazed upon
the last vivid scene of the murder,
lighted up by the fitful flashes OF
the burning timbers as they fell
upon his unfortunate victim.

A Sensation in the House.
Atlanta Journal August Goth.

Representative Connell, of De-
catur county, the author of the
bill to tax bachelors, created a
genuine sensation in the House
this morning when he arose to a
question of privilege. Intense 81
lence prevailed, as with placid
face and in pleasant tones, he ad-
dressed the Speaker. He COM
mented upon an article in the
Banner Watchman assailing him
for introducing the bill to tax
bachelors. t
Mr.. Connell said: "The bache-
lor bill did not consume ten min
utes time Of the Legislature, and
1 am cheerfully willing to leave it
to this body as to how much it
cost,and [ will pay it out of my own
pocket. And | have this to say
of Gannt, the editor of the Ban
ner- Watchman-he is q coward,
he is a liar, he is a thief and he is
a scoundrel. He ought to have
been in the penitentiary Of Geor-
gia ten years ago, and he will not
get Justice until his neck is stretch
ed three feet by a good new hemp
rope. If what | have said will
smoke him out of his den, we
would like again to hear from the
Infamous, cowardly puppy" 81.
The Banner Watchman called
MI. Oonnell "The Little Joker" T"
and said the people would rather
see him elected as the end-man oi
a minstrel troup. There is evil
dent blood Oh the moon"

Gone Daft on ~saaetiaeation. ;.

Macon Telegraph, August 2Sth. y
A sad spectacle was witnessed
! yesterday afternoon at the union
depot upon the arrival of the
Southwestern train. a
Among the passengers that dis
! embarked was Mr.. John G. Ward,
of Cuthbert. lie was between two
guards, and his strange conduct
soon attracted the attention of all
the visitors to the depot He
came out the car singing "Rock
of Ages" ia the most plaintive
manner. When he was carried in
to the waiting room he began i'm
mediately to pras, and continued
antil his manner grew SO violent
that the guards we're compelled to
interfere and quiet him. After
remaining composed, for a few
moments he began singing Jesus,
Lover Of My Soul" When be
had finished he began to preach
and used such profane language
that the guards were forced to in
telfere. When they did SO, he
grew violent and attempted to
fight everyone in reach.
His condition was hopeless and
deplorable. 1t was learned that
he had gone crazy on the subject
of religion and especially the doc
trine of sanctifcation. His un-
fortunate condition was developed
only few days ago, when his
friends soon discovered that he
could not be allowed to stay at
lsrge in safety. He was accord
ingly placed under guard, and
started off for the asylum. The
guards left with him last night on
the Augusta train.

There seemed to be no longer a
shadow of g doubt as to the guilt
OR. A. LaRose, alias Dieuis. Suf-
-ec;eut evidence has been gotten
together, it is thought, to convict
the wicked wretch of 'bigamy.
Your correspondent called on the
Young lady, and the meeting was
one Of the Issddestl events of his
life. There stood a beautiful girl,
heart-broken, claiming that death
was preferable to the mortiGca-
ton she was unds rgoing. She
left her fathers homs pretty,
popular, fascinating, girl to be
caught in q snare set by such a
william. LaRose, alias Dieuis; is
rather q good looking mana pleas
ant speaker and has a pleasant
countenance. He was brought
back t. this city last night from
Montgomery in order to be iden-
tilted by parties who knew him. At
10 o'clock to-day he was put on
trial under the State laws of Ala
bama for bigamy. He was sent
to Jail in default of 81, 900 bond to
await the action of the grand jury,
which will convene on the 31st in
slant. He claims to have obtain
ed a divorce from his first wife
while on visit to New York, but
could produce no evidence to that
effect. He is very composed and
says he cares nothing for death
and would willingly die for the
young lady he has SO wronged.
The people generally are aroused.
The entire community is in SYM
pathy with the young lady.
The Advertiser adds: Captain
A. ". Stokes,o of Smithville, father
of the injured young lady, is in
Montgomery en- route home from
Selma. He stated that it was his
intention to get arequisition from
the Governor of Georgia on the
Governor of Alabama to be used
in case there should be any hitch
in the criminal proceedings
against Deus. He is determin-
ed that the william shall pay the
penalty of his damnable crime.
