originated in the building at
the corner of Seventh avenue, occupied
by Jennie Woody and Hoppe Yancey,
both colored, and it is supposed to have
been the work OF an incendiary, as the
parties residing there were sure that
there was no light of any kind in the
building at that hour. The same house
caught on fire last Saturday from some
unknown cause. This building was
soon consumed, and the flames
spread rapidly to the three adjoining
houses, the first occupied by Henry
Motley and John Preston, the second by
Nancy Mken and Riah Hendricks and
the third by Rev. G. W. Thrasher, all
colored. The firemen worked bravely,
but in spite of their best efforts and the
assis.a OF citizens three of the build
ings wero consumed and the fourth was
almost completely wre cked.

A HORRIBLE AFFAIR.

A Negro Murderer Burned Alive by %
Mob Near Fort Gaines, Ga.-TIed to a
Fat Pinc Stump, Kerosene Poured Over
the Pyre and the Match Applied.
ATLANTA, Ga, April 15.-Bob Bur-
nett, country merchant, who slept in
q room in his store, near Fort Gaines,
Ga, was murdered Thursday morning
by negro, who entered the store for
purposes of robbery. The murderer
was captured Thursday afternoon and
carried back to the scene of his crime.
where large mob had collected. He
confessed the murder, and at once prep
arations to burn him alive were made.
A fence was torn down and the rails
piled around a fat lightwood stump
and the prisoner tied and laid on top
of it. Kerosene was poured over him
and on the wood. The negro begged
piteously to be spared, while the crowd
yelled with fury and delight
Some one touched match to the
wood and the flames shot twenty feet
into the air. Amid the cracking of tho
flames and the screams of the victim,
pistol shots rang out on the air and a
dozen balls perforated the body of the
helpless wretch.
Negroes formed majority of the
mob and did most of the work of pre-
pairing the bonfire. Negro men and
women with long poles stood around,
and heaped the chunks on the roasting
flesh. The victims name is unknown.
Young Burnett, whom he murdered,
was one of the leading young mer-
chants of Quitman county, and be-
longed to an old and aristocratic fam
lily, whose mansion is one of the finest
old houses remaining from antebellum

CrOp ProsDects,

MILAN, April 15.-From interviews
with many leading planters tits learned
that the crop prospects are better at this
time than for many preceding seasons
The wheat average is large and in all
sections promises full yield. More
attention has been paid to cultivating
wheat this year than formerly. The
clover average is also increased and
prospects fine. The same is true OF
oats, barley, grasses, etc. The cotton
acreage will be reduced at least one
third, and the same land cultivated in
corn principally and truck farming.
Peaches, plums, pears, apples and all
tree fruits promise an unusually large
crop, although the peach crop in this
immediate section was injured by the
recent hail-storm. The strawberry and
raspberry acreage has been largely in
creased and the yield promises fourth
better than last season. AS an evidence
of this the most successful growers are
supplying themselves with double the
amount of box material formerly used.
The majority of the farmers are in
terested in the canning factory and
have contracted to set aside several
acres to the cultivation of tomatoes,
beans, peas, etc.

valuable horses were killed and the
building burned. Mr.. Montgomery was
severely burned in trying to save the
animals.
ONE of the fine stables of Charles

struck by ligh timing last week and
burned with twenty-eight fine brood
mares, most of them in foal by the cell
ebrated Blair. Among them was a
Sc, 900 mare belonging to Turfman
Keene. The burned mares were all
blue bloods. About $500 bushels of
oats and other provender also went to
ashes. Reed took 1t like the philoso-
pher he is. He was aroused, saw the
fire, and that all was gone up, and
quietly resumed his sleep.
Gov TURNEY has pardoned Joe Mich
OILS and Will Gordon, lads under 18 years
of age. The pair live at Tupelo, Miss,

counsel. The pardon was recommended
by the jury, the attorney general, and
large number of officers and citizens
of Madison County.
