missions. A fine church has been built

Sheriff Fisher last Wednesday re-
ceived word from the authorities at
Fulton, that Munceford Underwood had |
the day before escaped from the insane |
asylum at that place, and was at large. !
Underwood, it will be remembered was |
sent 20 the penitentiary from this county |
and afterwards transferred to the |
asylum. It seems to us that his escape |
must be the result of gross carelessness
on the part of the officials at Fulton.
Any information as to his whereabouts
will be gladly received at the asylum,
and all charges necessary to his rein
there will be promptly |
paid.
