MURDER IN ECaoLs.
A Man Slain by a Desperate Who
Accused Him OF Stealing Barrels.

A Man Slain by Desperate Who
Accused Him of Stealing Barrels.
BONNEVILLE, GA. Feb. 24.-The MORN
ING NEWS correspondent learned to-day of
a most brutal and cowardly murder at
Enterprise, Echols county. The man killed
was Aaron Permentus, an old man highly
respected and of good family. The muir
derer is James Jones, North Carolina man.
1t is said he killed a man there and does
not bear a good reputation in Georgia.
They had some trouble, and Permentus told
Jones not to come to his place again or
about him. Jones went to Permentus and
inquired about some barrels and insinu-
ated that he thought Permentus had stolen
them. Permentus at that took a stick and
started toward Jones, whereupon Jones
drove off in his team and said he would get
even with him.
THE MURDER.
Permentus went to Enterprise afterward
for his mail ana while standing reading a
letter, Jones slipped up behind his back and
shot him. Permentus lived only short
time. The last words that ne spoke was to
the effect that he knew nothing of the barr
rels and did not have them. Jones stood
over Permentus' dying body for awhile de-
flying anybody TO arrest him. He was such
a desperate that no one present
dared take him Jones left and
the whole country is aroused
and several posses Of men are hunting him.
When found Judge Lynch will be apt to
hold court. The NEWS correspondent was
In that vicinity to-day and saw one posse
hunting him. When Jones was last seen he
was going to his brother-in-law's, but was
denied shelter and told to leave there.

The Smallest officer of the Army.

/ hear that Captain Osborne, the
husband Of the lady who figured so
unpleasantly in the recent great pearl
trial in London, is about to be trans
ferred from the carbineers, who are
in garrison at Edinburgh, to some
cavalry regiment serving in India.
Life in England just now can scarcely
be agreeable to him, and out in India
he may in time forget the cruel man
ner in which he has been deceived by
his wife. Captain Osborne is the
smallest dragon in the carbineers, as
well as the most diminutive officer in
the army, and during his first period
Of service in India the natives laughed
at him and asked whatever was
Kaisar-i-Hind (the Empress of India)
doing to have such littlelof1lcer in
the British army. Some people talk
OF a divorce for little Captain Os-
borne, but he could not get 1t. Mrs.
Osborne can be sentenced to'plnish-
,ment for what she has done, but can
not be touched in any way for the
great wrong she has inflicted upon
her husband, blasting forever the life
of the gallant and innocent little
officer.-New York Recorder.

Forgotten Holidays.

Saint Distaff's Day and Plough Mon
day are. no longer honored even in re-
mote corners of the world had it not
been for Shakespeare, Twelfth Night
might also have sunk into oblivion. Ia
the merry and leisurely old days Of
England, people were in no hurry to re-
sumo work after season Of pleasure,
and Christmas festivities lasted until
Twelfth Day. Then came Saint Distaff's
Day, when every one was supposed to
resume his ordinary avocations. The
omen went to the field with the oxen and
the plough, while the women began their
spinning. But the plough was soon de-
serted and the men came back to steal
into the house and try to set fire to the
women's flax. 1t was the womaIi'
privilege to punish this liberty by duck
ing the men with pals Of water. What
sports. would follow for the rest of the
day after such beginning may be
imagined, and it may be well believed
that Saint Distaff's votaries did not far
profane his day by work. Before all
thought of revelry was finally put aside
and sober duties again held complete
sway there was one more rustic festival.
Plough Monday, the Mo2day after
Twelfth Day. This was a second day
on which labor became ~ mere pretense.
AS long ago rs the Roman Church was
the established one Of England certain
candles were kept burning in the
churches on this day as an Offering to
secure the prosperity of.the ploughman'
labor through the year. The money
for these candles was collected by the
ploughmen themselves in way that
gave no small opportunity for bovine
wit and rude jollity. The men of a con-
siderable tract OF country would meet
and form a fantastic procession, in the
midst of which they dragged plough,
decorated with MANY colored ribbons
and such other ornaments as they had
at hand. The procession was led by
man dressed as a woman and known as
Bessie, whose burlesque dances and
antics would naturally furnish no small
part Of the amusement. Bessie carried
a money-box, and as the merrily' dis
ordered crowd went on from house to
house, contributions were demanded
everywhere. Woe to the rich man who
failed TO respond to tho call, for then
the genuine fun of the day. was thought
to be in order. A company of the SWANS
would thereupon seize the ropes by
which the plough was dragged, and be-
fore the rich man knew it the ground in
front of his door would be neatly
ploughed up. Thus did the punishment
fit the crime, though 1t may be supposed
that this penalty was seldom actually
inflicted when it could be so cheaply
averted. Under the Protestant faith
there were no candles for Plough Mon
day, but the money was long collected
in 'the same way, and it was used to
keep the lights burning in some public
house where the ploughmen drank to
their own prosperity.

Interest on deposits.

To the resources will be added future
interest on bank deposits and future
subscriptions to stock. New subscrip-
tions are coming in daily, and the
amount which will thus be realized is
certain to be large, though how much. It
will be can now only be surmised. An
increase OF 5000, 600 from these sources
is a safe estimate. On the other hand,
some deduction must be made for de-
lnquency in the payment OF subscrip
tions TO stock. Thus far, 60 per cent. OF
the subscribed amounts has been called
for, and So, 433, 800 or more than 60 per
cent, has been actually paid in, quite a
number of subscribers having volun-
tarily paid up in full without waiting for
the successive calls. The subscribers
number about 10000. Among subscrib-
ers there have been nearly 500 deaths,
and this, together with impoverishme mt,
etc, has caused thus far a delinquency
in collections of between 7 and per
cent. of the amount due. This is less
