The hand of fate seems to have selected
Mr.. Fletcher Reynolds and wife as victims
of the most calamitous and poignant visi>
tations. About ten years ago they had a
lovely daughter, about 10 years old, and a
sister OF Mrs. Reynolds, to perish in the
flames of their home, near Jonesboro.
The house caught FIRE one Sunday night,
and It required force to keep Mr.. Reynolds
from rushing into the fam IS in
hopeless attempt to rescue them. Since
z then for several years be has been afflicted
with spinal affection, requiring the wear
iug OF jacket o! plaster paris. Now with
this recent double bereavement it seems
that human endurance has almost reached
a limit.
Col. Maddox and DIR. Alexander, of At.
lanta, are brother-in-laws of Mr.. Reynolds
and came up Sunday evening in obedience
to telegram.
The funeral services took place at the
family residence onl Monday afternoon, at
$780, An immense concourse of our citi>
zens were present. Our two schools ad :
journed and attended in body. The girls
of Harwood Seminary each carried :bou>
quet of flowers, while the young ladies of
the Athenean Society wore their badges
draped in mourning. Miss Katie was
formerly pupil of Harwcod and her
dtath affected them no little. The floral
offerings of friends were of great beauty
and abundance, and covered the caske,s,
tables and piano. Rev. Joel T. Dawes of
the Methodist Church and Rev. j. A..
Wynne, of the Baptist Church, officiated.

A VERY interesting series of meetings
have been in progress at the Methodist
church in this city for the past ten days
conducted by the Rev. Joel T. Dawes, pas
tor of the Methodist church in Marietta
Ga-he being in the city on visit to his
son, the beloved pastor of the Methodist
church in this city. Brother Dawes, Sr..
is preacher OF wonderful power, and is
withal one of the profoundest and most
logical preachers we have ever heard.
With most earnest and sincere manner
his words and thoughts abide with the
hearer in spite of himself, and his work
has been Of the most satisfactory sort. The
meeting will continue to 90 on for another
week or more-the first week being neces-
sary to arouse the church to active spiritual
life. Brother Dawes, ST., remained with
and preached for us till Monday night,
after which he returned to his post OF duty
at Marietta. While here he won all hearts
and left carrying with him the best wishes
and earnest prayers of the churches in
cambridge. The meeting is still going on,
being led by Rev. NJ. Lovett, OF Quitman.

WE MUST RAISE BREAD.
The Importance to the South OF Rails.
ing FOOdstuffs.

In an editorial published last win
ter upon the Importance of the south
raising large corn crop this year,
the Manufacturers Record states
that the grain crops of 1890 were so
small that even If the yield of 1891
should be up to the highest mark,
there would be a full demand tor all
the corn produced to counterbalance
the deficiency in last years crop.
This was based simply upon the
normal consumptive requirements
of this country and Europe, and no
account Was taken Of an unusual
demand from Europe.
The failure Of European crops as.
s"res a demand at good prices for
every bushel of wheat and corn that
we can spare, and we will enter the
crop year of 1892 with very low
socks of grain. Even should 1892
duplicate the enormous yield of
cereals of 1891 and Europe have fair
crops, prices must inevitably be we'll
maintained, for in July, 1892, our
stocks of wheat and corn will be
very nearly, if not quite, as in July
1891. Moreover, the opening Of the
German and other markets to Amer
lean pork will materially help to in
CT ease the price of bacon and corn.
Fortunately the farmers of the
south have this year raised fron 75,-
100000 to 100000 bushels Of
grain more THAI in 1890, and the
south is made richer by at least $751;
100000 by it. But next year must
show still greater increase in
wheat, corn and oats in the south,
and also in the raising of provisions.
1t may be accepted without question
that grain and provisions will con-
tinue high for at least two years,
even if 1892 gives us the largest
crop ever produced, and if the crops
of that year should be small the
southern farmer who has to buy his
foodstufs will have q hard time OF it.
The Manufacturers Record be-
lieves that every paper in the south
and every branch of the Farmers
Alliance should press this matter
upon the atten ton of southern farm
ers. 1t cannot be done too often or
too vigorously. We are in an era
of'high prices for breadstuffs, and
in all probability there will be no
change for at least two years. The
prosperity of southern farmers de-
ponds upon raising an abundant sup
ply of wheat, oats, corn, provisions
and other toodstuffs, whether
cotton advances in price or not.
Will the press Of the south take up
the matter at once and urge 1t with
out ceasing upon the farmers?

GEO. W. PIERCE
ACQUITTED OF THE CHARGE OF
MURDER.

Tie most interesting, exciting and nota-
bic case before Cherokee Superior Court,
was tried Tuesday of last week, n being
that of the Statel VS.. George W. Pierce,
charged with the murder of Charles Ed,
wards in September, 1865 The case was
not merely of local interest, but had gained
well nigh national notoriety by reason OF
the alleged crime having occurred during
the exciting times about the close of the
late war between the states, and the arrest
rot having been made until short while
ago, although Captain Pierce had been !iv-
ing many years in middle Texas, openly
and above board-an honored, respected
and influential citizen In consequence
the courtroom was literally packed during
the trial. many ladies being attentive lis
teners,
Captain Pierce was represented by Hon.
A. S. Clay, of Marietta, and Captain H.
W. Newman and Colonel Thomas Hutch
erson, of Canton, while the State was ably
represented by Solicitor General Brown
and Colonel John D. Attaway, both of
Canton.
The Canton correspondent OF the Allan
ia Constitution has the following to say
of Col Clay able speech:
Then followed Solicitor General Brown
IN one of the best speeches and most forci.
BILE arguments he ever delivered before a
Cherokee jury, SO closely linking the evi>
dence together as to make out pretty fair
case, Notwithstanding the very little sworn
testimony and facts he had to build upon.
His devotion to the States interest was
highly compimented upon all sides, and
this was accounted one of the best speeches
he ever delivered here or elsewhere. AS
the defense offered no testimony, save that
of the defendants statement, this gave
them the conclusion, and, in speech of
more than an hour, Hon. A. S. Clay held
the close attention of the jurors and every
one else in the courtroom as he eloquently
and able presented the theory OF the de-
Tense. He took up the evidence and with
his shrewdness, experience and ability as a
criminal lawyer. showed how impossible it
was that Pierce killed Edwards, or, admits
ting that he did, how probable it was that
it may have been III self>detense. Both
theories were made quite plausible. His
speech was complimented as the finest and
best he ever delivered in any case in Cher
okee Superior Court, although he has been
practicing here for maly years, and it
really had more to do with clearing the
minds of the jurors of all doubt and gains
ing verdict ofacquittal for Captain Pierce
than any other speech or thing done dur>
ing the trial. He probably delivered no
ADLER or better speech in any of the seven>
teen murder cases he has been interested
in heretofore.
After the very able, full and clear charge
of Judge Gober, the jury retired to their
room with the fate of Captain Pierce in
their hands. After about TWO hours dis,
cussion of the case in all its bearings a
vote was taken and every man found to
favor verdict of acQuittal. Accordingly
the verdict Of not guilty" was rendered.
