A HORRIBLE CRIME.
A Negro Murders His Wife in Henry
County.
Fro,n me grimm (GaD Snn.

From the Griffin (Ga.> San.
Information reached the CITY to-day Of
a terrible crime that was committed near
Locust Grove, Henry county, Sunday
night last. Jack Kendrick is a negro man
who believes in having more than one
wife, and also in treating either of his
wives as mean as he chooses to. His wife,
with whom he has been living lately, is
said to be good woman and devout
church member. A protracted meeting
mas been in progress at the church OF
which this woman was member and she
had been regular attendant.
Last Sunday Jack resolved that he
would not allow his wife to go to church,
and accordingly informed her of the fact.
The woman went to church notwithstand-
ing, and her husband followed her there
and treated her to round of abuse all
during the day. Monday morning Mr..
Bill CASTILLO, on whose place Kendrick
and his wife lived, went down to their
house TO get the woman to assist his wife
In doing some work. He found the door
closed and the house seemingly deserted.
After calling the woman by name several
times and receiving no answer, he opened
the door and went in. The woman was
lying across the bed with her feet few
inches from the floor. On examination II
was found that she was dead. An ak
lying near by suggested that it had been
the instrument OF death, and closer ex-
animation of the woman showed that her
NECK had been broken by heavy blow
from some instrument. All the evidence
points toward Jack Kendrick as the muir
derer. He was seen in the city Tuesday
by some celored men, but no one dreamed
Of his having committed such dastardly
crime. A Sun reporter talked with an
old negro who lives near the scene of the
crime, and learned from him that the ne
groes in the neighbophood are much ex-
cited and highly incensed against Ken
drick. They say hanging Is too good for
him, that he ought to be burnt. II the
murderer falls in their hands in their
present excited state of mind, his chances
Tor life are exceedingly small.

prevent killing stock in the future, and
will fence its entire line at an early date.
There are fresh signs of gold diggers
near the EachIntiene. Directly after the
Seminole war a report prevailed that a
government vessel buried a lot OF gold
and silver at this point to save 1t from the
ravages of an approaching storm. The
report became generally known, and at
periodical seasons since, parties have
gone to the place and dug for the sup
posed lost treasure, but if any one has
been successful the fact has never be-
come known. Years ago, the engineer in
charge of this coast survey wrote to
Washington to learn if the government
had any record OF treasure buried by a
government vessel on this coast. The
records showed no evidence of such, so it
was reported. However, this assurance
has not prevented these periodical visits
to the place where the treasure is sup
posed to have been buried, and an exca-
walton many feet in circumference and in
depth shows where the various seekers
after the hidden treasure have left the
imprint of their picks and spades.

An Indian Uhild's Rem Aus.


II. II. g. Preston, Esq, made discov-
cry recently that is well worthy OF note.
Near his home is what Is known as 1.-THE
Indian Bank" mound recognized in his
grandfatber's time as the grave OF men,
bers OF the abOrigines family. Mr.. Pres
ton accidentally ran across part OF a
skeleton there. He found the remains Ot
q child. The skull mad fractured and,
like the roof OF a dilapidated house, fallen
in. An earthen pot with rude fitting
lid had apparently been placed on the
breast Of the child, and while the slender
arch that supported it bad crumbled
again into dust, the vessel, baked In the
fire OF more than century ago, had re-
mained to blaeken and harden with the
flight OF time. The most interesting
thing, though, was the upper jaw-bone.
The fret teeth OF the child had undoubt-
edly been shed, for the marks OF the first
were there, and behind the decaying Zone
could be seen several loose teeth that had
never been '.cut." The pieces OF skull
bone. teeth. jaw-bone and the earth-resIst-
ing pot made up the collection that ought

From the Monroe (Ga.) NeacS.
An original joke was perpetrated on
some clever people in the county soon
after the late election on the fence Ques-
ton. A substantial farmer and his ex-
cellent wife had complained bitterly at
the stock law, yet gradually their rails
disappeared from about the premises.
they were not serving the purposes for
which they were made and the
temptation to burn them as
they lay useless and idle was too
strong. Soon after the county went
for no fence and one dark night this farmer
heard COW bell in his cotton patch and
straightway he made for it. His wife ac-
companied him. The cow seemed to be
moving rapidly and the old bell ratified
and rang in a suspicious fashion. Had
1t been lighter, a man with a bell fastened
TO him could have been seen shutting
through the cotton patch on his all fours.
AS he would detect the near approach OF
the searching couple he would shamble
OH IN Kind of gallop. The farmer,
when he got near the bell, would
say Here she goesv' and the farmers
wife would say "Hooyv and with
such CALCULATIONS the chase continued
until the man with the bell began to tire
OF the fun. Then said the farmer: LET
us get light, and we will find the old
heifer, then Well make some body pay
dollar, certain" Soon after they left for
the lamp the clever impostor pulled him
self together on the other side of ditch
and, strengthening up and muti1lng the
bell, made for his own quarters, having
decided that he had played a capital joke
on the antl-no-tenoe people.

Defiant Females.

From the Anlericus (Gd.) Republican.
Once night of last week eight men went
to old man Watkins place, in Lee county,
to arrest his son Bill, who is supposed to
have shot the negro man on Rufus Rocks
house was searched without revealing
the suspect. The posse then went to the
house of Watkins, about 100 or 200 yards
off, TO search his house. The evidence,
based On suspicious movements of the
women OF the house, pointed to the fact
that the man they wanted was con-
cealed in this house. One woman's
name was Jones, and she had a large
amount Of grit, with which she saved her
brother from the Sheriff and his posse
She let loose two large fierce dogs and
took her station in the door with a gun in
her hands, and told the crowd that they
could not search her house. The dogs
and the woman prevailed. She held the
vantage ground and the man they wanted,
but the posse were not sure of the latter.
They rstreated in good order, thinking
there would be another day, when sisters,
shotguns and dogs would not be so
n um erous.
We have since heard that brother OF
Bill Watkins told one of the posee lat ID
was good thing that they did not at
tempt TO search the house, as Bill was on
the inside. armed with a good double
barTelled gun and two good reVolvers.
and if any man had forced himself in the
house there would have been music in
the air, and somebody would have been

The Judicious Emissary.

Block Island Letter 10 the Hartford COurGnt.
Once upon time an ambitious man,
who aspired to be Governor OF Little
Rhody," sat down to count all possible
votes. The prospect of his election was
dubious, but there came to his memory
the political proverb current in the old
Bay State. They say there, LAS Hull
goes, so goes Massachusetts" The can
didate then remembered this tiny dot in
the ocean too often neglected, and a
trusty emissary was sent over with $500
to be judiciously expended. Masking his
purpose under various preteXts, the gen.
tleman surveyed the ground and dis
covered that the one topic of general In
terest was the leaky roof of the Centre
church. To the pious islanders-that was
before summer travel had intruded-their
church was the one precious possession,
but they were too poor to properly repair
the sanctuary, and meeting was called
to raise funds for simply patching the
roof. The aforesaid emissary attended
this meeting. DeVoutly he listened to
prayer and speech, and then, rising as if
under the influence OF uncomfortable
emotion, he spoke with a broken voice
after this manner:
"My friends, l am stranger among
you, and / have a confession to make.

ing your expressions OF earnest faith,

lations of religion.

and | came herewith shame | confess

vile thought, and pray for me that may
be forgiven" Another gulp, and then:
Here, my friends, give to you for re-
pairing this sanctuary the money bad
intended to use for vile purpose, and
when l shall tell my friend Mr.. - what
l have done, i am sure that he will ap-
prove. Like yourselves, he is an earnest
Baptist, and he can trust his election TO

A brother" came forward and receiy-
ed a heavy bag with unsteady clinking
contents, while the little congregation
looked as awe-struck as BelshazZar's
guests when the wondrous words OF doom
were written on the palace wall.
The emissary sat with bowed head, and
handkerchief pressed close tO-presum-
ably-weepIng optics. When the service
was over, hard, honest hands gave the
stranger fraternal grip, and real tears
dimmed many pious eyes. The emissary
went back to PrOvidence; the Centre
church was repaired, and-every mothers
son on the island voted for that ennis
sary's candidatel

Tomahawks and Arrow Heads.
From the Rome tGa.) Courier,


A walk of half a mile down the east
bank OF the Coosa river carries one to the
site of an old Indian village. TWAS situ-
ated on the farm now owned by MIR. r. =.
Nixon. During the recent freshet the
land was considerably washed, and
Messrs. George and Pennington Nixon
have gathered an interesting lot of Indian
relics. Through the courtesy OF the boys
the reporter was shown the rare accumu-
latioh. - ,...t tfrs
The collection consists of pottery, pipes,
charms, skin dreseers, tomahawks and ar
row heads. The collection of arrow heads,
numbering $50, is the finest in Georgia.
They vary in size from small steel pen
to the small hand OF lady. The thick
ness OF each one also varies. The skin
dressers and tomahawks are beautifully
polished. Most OF the pottery is rude and
without ornamentation. One article par
ticularly noticeable was a burnt clay
head and face; the features were per-
fectly clear and well shaped. The
Indian who fashioned it was an ex-
cellent artist. Also in the accumu-
latiOn are two skulls and several leg bones
of the departed race. Upon O phrenolog-
zeal examination, the forehead was low
and retreatinR; cautiousness was largely
developed; inhabitativeness was greatly
wanting; size and locality were apparent
by engagements over the eye. One skull,
judging by the size of the teeth, was that
of female; the other appeared to be that
of male. The village was probably in
habited when DeSOto passed through
Georgia, as history says he encamped at
village at the head waters of the COosa.

failed to elicit her whereabouts or any
news from her. The next day nothing
was learned of her. No neighbor had seen
or heard from her. A searching party
was on the third day organized to scour
the woods for her. On Thursday night
about midnight she turned up at DR.. Ra-
mons, in Fleming Branch, and asked TO
stay allnight. This privilege was granted.
She told her name, and said she knew
Rev. ID. S. McCurry there, and this proved
to be true, and he identified her as the
missing girl. She had never been to
Flowery Branch before, and seemed just
to be wandering aimlessly about. she
was restored to her parents, aud the
searching party dissolved.
