More Proof of BIackman's Guilt.
Cor ,aericIsS ReeO1dar

ELLAvILLE, GA Nov. 1S.-The double
barrel shO' gun that was used to aSsassi-
nate 5. j. TOndee on the h day of last
September, was found Wednesday even
ing in potato patch. near where Black
man slept on the night of the murder. The
gun is an Old muZZie-lOader with the left
tube broken off. and when found the right
barrel was empty. 1t proves to be the
gun Of a negro living here by the name of
sam Askew. At the commitment trial
Sam was placed under arrest as being an
accessory and but for the fact that Sam
told several of our citizens the day before
the murder that some one had stolen his
gun he would have been indicted. Party
after party was organized to search for
the gun just after the murder, but no
trace of it could be found. 1t will be re-
membered that on the trial of Biackman,
Mr.. COckrell swOre tnat the imprint OF a
gun was on the seed cotton in the gin
house, TO where and from where Black
nan WAS tracked. 1t will also be reluem-
bered how severely one Of the defendants
counsel criticised this part of the testimo-
ny. The gun when found bad a lock Of
seed cotton in one of the barrels. This is
certainly a strange circumstance. There
is no doubt but that Blackman put the
gun where it was found when he stole 1t
out of the negro's house because the first
place that Backmsn was seen on the
night OF the murder was in twenty yards
Of where the gun was found.

Al Atran0e Neorl,.

Joe Davis is a negro Of Atlanta.
Joe attracts more attention on the
streets than any man in the city of At
lanta. because be wears somewhere in
the neigh borbood Of 1000 brass buttons,
copper cents and other trinkets on his
breast. These buttons and other things
are tied ON different colOred ribbons,
which is placed athwart has breast. Joe
has never told any one why he wears
these hOOdOo arrangements. Upon
this point he refuses to answer any ques-
ton.
One Of the gentlemen for whom Joe
works. Gays that about four weeks ago
some one told Joe that the legislature had
passed Law to kill every negro
caught with such things. Joe went TO
mis- nome and did not come back for a
week.
He buys all the copper cents he can get
hold OF, and firmly believes that within
30 years they will be worth as much as
gold dollars. He has about a half bushel
of them stored away somewhere, and
he will go hungry for a week before he
will spend one Of them for ANYTHING.
Manv people look at Joe and take him
for eOnjurer or boodoo doctor, but they
are mistaken, for he never associates with
any one.

wood~ Full of Squirrels.

From me DiI'0n (9d.J Oitisen.
We heard an old hunter say recently
that he never knew the woods hereabouts
TO be fuller OF squirrels, and that they
seem to have appeared all at once. The
question is. where did they come from?
A writer in Cartersville paper gives IL
as his opinion that they came from the
Rocky mountains. POssibly-but what
DID they come for, as he says they dis
appear as soon as the winter freezes set
in? Our opinion is, and IL is based II Don
observation, that some years there are
more squirrels in this country than
others, and they are not emigrants either,
but are natives. Why this is so we can
rot tell, unless the mast and the crops
nave something TO do with their increase
or decrease in numbers.
