SENSATION IN REED GREEK.
4 Young Woman Gives Birth to Babe
and Throws IL Into the Savannah.

From the Hdrtl0eU San.
In the Reed Creek district, in this
county, on Sept. 1S, was enacted a horri-
BILE deed. Miss Mary Avery, daughter Of
Rev. Asa Avery, a well-knOwn and higxiy
respected Baptist minister, gave birth to
an illegitimate child. In her shame she
lett the house secretly and went to the Or
chard, where the child was born. Alone
and unaided, she wrapped the child,
which she declares was dead, in cloth,
together with a number of stones, and
carrying 1t 10 the river, several hundred
yards distant, threw her CHASTITY bun
die into the peaceful waters. Her
stepm0ther, discovering what had
taken place, sent for some of the neigh
bOrs, who following the bloody trail to
the river soon succeeded in getting the
body out. AS soon as possible the coro-
ner was summoned and an inquest held.
Upon examination DIR. A. j. Mathews
found it had not been born dead, but
bruises upon its head showed that it met
a violent death either by accident or in
tentiOn. The jury returned a verdict IN
accordance with the above facts. The
child was unusually well developed.
Miss Avery lived in Hartwell and carried
on millinery business for some time, and
it is said claims that she was betrayed du-
ring that time. Altogether IL is a wretch
ed affair, and heavy blow to the family.
