ur. Frank NJ. Sanders came in
town from Wilkinson county yes
terday after coffin for Mr.. Free.
man Brooks, a young farmer of
that county, who was killed on
Monday night about $50 o'clock.
The circumstances of the killing
are as follows: Mr.. Brooks and
several Others were cutting old sap
trees on the plantation OF Mr.. G.
l.. johnson in the Bethel district
of the connty,to prevent the spread
OF flames to the woods. While
resting after cutting down tree,
a young man who was cutting one
near by sang out 10 him to look
out or the tree would fall on him.
The warning came too latej and be-
fore he could move away the tree

coLO-sL00DE0 CRIMES.
Atlanta Consultation.

The New Englanders go at every
thing deliberately. Even in their
crimes there is no heat of passion,
nor uncomfortable impulse.
Two recent cases ia Maine will
sttract attention OF account of their
cold blooded wlckedness. Near
Augusta, Charles Beal killed his
father by putting strychnine in his
whisky, The young man disliked
his father and wanted to get him
out of the way. There was no res
vengefuI motive, no resentment
caused by ih treatment. The old
man simply wanted his own, and
and tried to rule his household.
For this he was poisoned like q
dog. Perhaps on the same day,
near Pennington, Mrs. Henry with
her own hands prepared a lunch
tor her husband. Shortly after
e.ting it, Henry vas taken vio>
lently i'll, but a doctor pulled him
through. Some of the food was
given to a dog, and the animal
died in half an hour. The dogs
stamach WIS analysed and a quan>
tity of strychuine was found in it.
The wife had always lived pleas
antly with her husband, but under
the circumstances she was the only
person who could have administers
ed che poison, and there is no doubt
OF her guilt.
Pois ners have always excited
i greater degree OF horror than
any other class of murderers. They
have to plan their work, and go
about it secretly and deliberately.
They are more dangerous than the
criminals who use knives and piss
tolls and shot guns. The appear,
ance OF these fends in state which
tor more than thirty years has
been at the he I'd of the moral re-
form procession is bad sign Free
quent street fights and an occa+
sional duel would speak better Tor
the morality of Maine than such
horrible tragedies as are reported
from that state every month in the
year The missionaries should
take hold OF Maine in good earns

CHRIST IS RISEN!
BY MISS SARAH B. CAMPBELL,
AUGUSTA, GA.

By the tomb at dawn of morning.
See faithful mourner stands,
In her heart a sacred sorrow,
Precious spices in her hands;
But the sepulchre is empty,
Vain is all her treasured store
Have they taken away her Master?
Will she see her Lord no more?
Hark! an angels voice is speaking,
And her fears have fed away,
All her sadness turns to gladness-
"Christ the Lord is risen to-dayl
Christ is risen! Christ is risen!"
Sound it far DER hill and plain,
Christ is risen! Christ is risen!"
Sin and death by Him are slain,
"Christ is risen! Christ IS risen!"
Angels sing the glad refrain
"Christ is risen! Christ is risen /"
All the dead shall rise again.
Stricken n burners, &ho like Mary,
Weeping stand beside the tomb,
Mourning that Gods little children
Now are sleeping in its gloom.
Listen to the heavenly message,
Sent in love to all who weep
Ger the loved who trusting Jesus,
Gently fell in peace asleep.
"He is risen" spake the angel,
On that holy Easter Day;
He is risen," let the tidings
Drive all doubts ard fears away.
Christ is risen! Christ is risen!"
Sound it FAR Ger hill and plain;
Christ is risen! Christ is risen!"
Sin and death by HIM are slain;
"Christ is risen! Christ is risenw
All the dead shall rise again,

The farmers Alliance.

The extension and growth of the
Farmers Alliance in Georgia he's
been phenomenal. Only a few
weeks ago it Was not heard of in
this State except IN a few localities.
Now it is everywhere. New or!
CARNATIONS are springing up in all
directions.
1t is said that in Carroll county
alone there are three thousand
members OF the Alliance. The to.
tai number in the State it is impos-
sible to estimate accurately, be-
cause of it, constant and rapid in>
crease, but it is certainly very
largo.

A SAVINGS INSTITUTION.
0rgcGizution of The Bib Real Estate end
improvement Company,

An idea OF the plan in which
this company will operate is as toll
lows: The stock -hoIier who is rot
q borrower, pays 81 per month un-
til he has paid $50, which is the
pcr value o. the stock. All par
titipate in dividends which is COM
puted on the capital paid in. At,
ter the stock holder has become q
borrower, in addition to this 81 per
share, Re pays 1925 on every
share borrowed upon. As this
scheme is based upon ten year
plan, and it means ten years from
the date of the loan, no matter
when the loan is made, the ca!cu-
latlon becomes this. assuming that
John Smith borrowed at the first
meeting, 1928 pail tor fifty
months, 81 25 paid for se,epty
months, making 1870 onths or ten
years. When John Smith has paid
up his obligation he still has a
share worth $50, which he cal sell
or $50 through the mill" with.
This share always participates in
the earning. In other associations
this share dies when borrowed
upon. Now carry out the above
figures and find out how much
John Smith pays into the compl,
ny, then deduct the $50 share, you
II institute a comparison between
the amount he will be out OF peck
ct by this transaction, and if he
had borrowed out of a bank mt Z
per cent. for ten years and paid his
interest annually. OF course he
has been paying monthly,a and inter.
est would be largel = against him il
the average should be taken; but
as these institutions are tor the
benefit OF men of small, means, to
whom it is decided advantage to
pay in small sums.
1t will be seen that this new in
stitution opens up to the humble
mechanic an opportunity Of invest
ment not heretofore enjoyed in that
he can pay only 81 per month and
yet receive large benefits,
Quite a number of shares have
been taken and the company be
ing ready to go to work, have the
books open for more.

TIE cESTRAL'S BUREAU or iNMIcsA
TI0E AND THE STATE FAN.

The Central Authorities have
selected Mr.. w L Glessner, of
Americas, a gentleman in every
way qualified. to take the manage
ment of the Bureau. Mr.. Gless,
euer will begin, at an early day,
the publication offs monthly pa
per, to be known as THE South
ern Empire, " devoted to the Agri'
cultural and Industrial interests OF
the State.
The purpose of this publication
viii be to disseminate, throughout
the North and West, reliable in.
formation about our climate, soil,
field crops, minerals, woods, etc.
etc., in order 10 induce parties
from these sections to purchase our
unoccupied lands, take UP their
residence with us and help us to
build up the material interests Of
the State. Ten thousand copies of
"The Southern Empire, will be
judiciously distributed where
they will affect the most good.
About midsummer, the Gem
trail will fit up a handsome Car,
beautifully lettered in the name of
the Society, to be filled with sam
pies Of vegetables, field crops, min
erals, woods, etc. etc., Illustrative
ofresources of the state. The car
vii! be taken, under the manage
fnent of Mr.. Glessner, to the State
and district fairs of the North and
West, to aid, more efectually, in
advertising the State. With this
car, Mr.. Glessner will spend sew,
eral months in the States north
Of us, in the interest OF immigra-
ton. In addition to the copies OF
The Southern Empire" taken
with PIN, Mr. Glessner will be glad
t. carry, also, any number OF cir
culars and pamphlets, furnished
him by any county or section de-
string to advertise lis general adj
vantages. 1t must be understood |
that the ontrul dees rot confne |
this scheme to its own line OF roads, !
bat it is desired, that the benefits
shall be shared by all parts Of the
state equally ana alike. fhe car
under his charge IS intended to
represent Georgia in miniature,
and the State Fair is expected to
iilustrate the preduc,e snt rcsou>-
ccS OF the State abundAntly and
iii protusi"n The success OF the
undertaking, therefore, must de-
pend largely upon the success Of
the State Fair, If the counties,
desiring immigration, sill send to
the State Fair large exhibits, beau
iiiully arranged, our visitors from
the North will be interested aud
attracted, and We will, doubtless,
secure large numbers OF them as
settlers.
We viii be glad to make room
in agricultural building for any
and every county that will bring
us worthy exhibits of field crops,
vegetables, minerals, wood, etc.
etc, Applications for space
should be made as early ne posi-
bIe, so that We may determine in
time the additional buildings
necessary to accommodate exhi>
bits.

citemeht' ohoots a Physician.
MuNFoRDuLLE, KY. March H.
A most unfortunate shooting took
place Thursday morning last at
Uptonville, Hardin county, which
! resulted in the death of DR. Over
street, the father of the editor of
the Hart County News. at $50
o'clock this afternoon. Briefly the
facts are these: In 1886 a prohi-
bition law. went into effect in HAIR
din county, but since then it is said
that the liquor traffic has been car.
ried on in the countys Week be-
fore last there appeared commu.
cation in the Elizabethtown News,

ers, saying in substance that whis-
key was still sold in and about Up
tonville, notwithstanding the law,
and that the physicians in that
town aided the law>breakirg by
furnishing with prescriptions por-
sons buying whiskey. Last week
the Hart County News answered
the charge against the physicians
in an article containing some
straightforward talk.
Tuesday morning, early, DR..
Overstreet passed by T. B. Upton's
store. When beyond the store.
Upton called to him to hold on.
Overstreet stopped, and Upton
came up very excited and asked
the old gentleman about the art;-
Gle in the Hart County News.
81 had nothing to do with it,and
you should see my son Willie about
it. He wrote it, and was here yes>
terday, replied the Doctor.
You lie. you did it, y9u----
-,' yelled Upton, and
he began striking Oyerstreet in the
face with his fists. At once the lat
ter crew a pen knife and began
cutting at Upton, inflicting only
A few scratches, when Upton drew
a pistol and shot three times, one
shot taking effect in the elbow Joint
ot the left arm of DIR. Overstreet,
who fell as soon as struck. The
hall ranged upward about FIVE
inches, whore it lodged.
The wounded man was removed
in mediately to his home, and med.
ica' aid was at once sent for. Yess
terday morning DIR. Walton amp
IL a ed th' v unded arm, taking OF
about tw"-thirds of the upper arm;
but the patient never rallied, AMI
this afternoon he died.
Hardin county has out few cite
zens rs we'll known as Tom Bent
Upton, as lie is called, and DR..
Overstreet. Both wef8 genial,
heightened gentlemen. and both
highly connected and popular, and
have wide circle of friends who
regret deeply this sad occurrence.
Overstreet was a sober man, lead
ing physician, and was. not con-
nected IN the whisky traffic in any
way. Upton is a merchant in Up>
tonville, and a strong prohibitions
list. He was arrested this after
noon on the charge of murder, and
now remains guarded in his own
house. DR.. Overstreet leaves q
wife and four children, the eldest
of whom is VIII, the editor of the
News, and is only twenty years
old. The remains will be carried
tomorrow to Bradtordville for in-
terment.
