Effects of the Storm-A Murderer
Haunted by a Guilty Conscience.

Effects of the Storm-A Murderer
Haunted by a Guilty Conscience.
SANDERsvILLE, GA, Oct. Alt has
been raining with us since Saturday, and
at this writing there is no prospect of Iair
weather soon. Last night a thunder.
storm passed south OF us, and Judging
from the reverberation it must have been
of great severity. a continued wet spell
in the fall is always disastrous to the cot
ton crop, but just at this time IL is pecu-
liarly disastrous, telling with much force
upon the merchant who had paper ma
turing Oct, and dependent upon cotton
collect ons to protect it with.
Some days sit &C Jerry Curry (col. },
charged with the murder of Wright
Green, also oOlOred, was captured near
roomOsboro, and is now confined in jail
awaiting trial at March Superior court.
The crime with which he stands charged
was cOld-blooded murder. The deceased
and Curry had u difficulty in Sandersville
during which Green struck Curry over
the head and felled him, when they were
separated. RumOr SAYS threats were freely
INDUCED in on both sides. The oombatants
lived on adjacent plantations. Some two
weeks after the difficulty in SandersVille.
Green was waylaid in foot path and
shot from the corner Of the fence, about
or 8 O'Clock at night. HIS cries brought
the neighbOrs TO him, when they found
him lying in the field fatally wounded by
pistol ball in the abdomen. AS soon az
help reached him he stated that, passing
down the path unsuspectingly, Curry sud-
denly arose from fence corner and shot
him and fled, The wounded man lived
about twenty-four hours, retaining con-
seriousness until death, and at all times
asserted that he plainly recognized bis
murderer in the bright starlight to be
Jerry Curry. The Coroner's inquest re-
turned verdict accordingly, and Curry
! fled Since his Imprisonment the accused
seems possessed of an all-cOnsuming fear
| OF being hung, and though ne at first dis
claimed all knowledge OF the crime, he
| has since said that Jason Gilmore, another
negro in company with him, did the shoot
! ing, and again confessed the kill
/ ing, but claims he did it in
! sell-defense. His cries and means
are pitlful to hear. He is either feigning
! insanity, or perhaps he stands in the pre-
| sence of a guilty conscience, with the
| shadow of his guilt closing in around
| him, and showing the gallOws as his in
| eVltabe doom, and his mind is really
| giving away through fear.
Our CITY election takes place on the 7tn
| instant under q recent act Of the General
| Assembly, and the canvass is remarkable
/ for the absence of any manifested Interest
| by the citizens. A quiet, decent election
would be refreshing.
The skating rink fever is again cpl
demic.
| The recent term of the Superior Court
was the largest we have had for years,
! spinning It's weary length out the greater
! part of three weeks, the result in part of
an extra heavy criminal docket. This ad-
ditiOnal expense and some necessary
! bridge repairs will increase our taxes 30
per 500. The grand jury paid high and
deserved compliments to our county Off.

branch of practice, left to child
bearing woman this priceless
legacy and nfe-saying appliance,
THE MOTHERS FRIEND"
and to-day there are thousands
of the best women in our land
who, having used this wonderful
remedy before confinement. rise
up and call his name blessed.
We receive let ers from every
section of the country thanking
us for placing this preparation in
the reach Of suffering woman.
One party from North Carolina
writes us that she would like to
thank the prOprletOrs on her
knees for bringing it to her no
tice, as in a previous cOnfine-
ment she had two doctors, and
they were compelled to use chic
rOf0rm. Instruments, etc, and
she suffered almost death: but
this time she used ''MOTHERS'
FRIEND" and her labOr was
short. quick, and almost like
magic. Now, why should q wo-
man suffer when she can avoid it2

ENTERTAINING FRIENDS.

An Argument In Favor of Rational
Enjoyment aud Reasonable Hours.
As the women are the arbitors OF fate in
all matters social, dress, entertainments,
etc, we are anxiously awaiting the action
of New York society women in answer to
the cutlery Of young New York against late
hours for parties, balls aud the like. With
the exception Of few of our large balls
and the Assembly, our own entertainments
are over much earlier than they were few
years since, and although gay New York
does not incline TO follow any lead but that
OF her own "sweet will,n we think that she
would he wise to follow that of sister city
in the matter Of early hours, at least, in so
far as we have proved ourselves worthy
These young men show their good sense
when they enter their protest against the
present regime, maintaining that the late
hours OF balls and parties, and the dancing
until dawn, are highly detrimental TO busi
ness the next day, not TO mention the uu-
hcalthfuness Oft.
There is n certain unlalrness about our
social regulations, especially with regard TO
young men who have work to do in the
world, and as all our young men who are
good for anything have work of some kind
to do, II seems as II our hours should be
regulated n little more with regard to their
