cay afternoon, about o clock at the old
Jot Lindley place on Dallas road, just out
| side of the city limits. The woman has
been employed as a cook for Mr.. John
Bradley's family. The negro man had no
permanent employment and was working
wherever he could get it. He was stopping
with Abe Miller and family at the Lindley
place. Fannie Smith has son Is years
old. She followed Hester to Miller's house
| quarreling with him. Hester had coat
and pistol that belonged to her son. She
demanded their return. Hester gave them
to her, but the womans ire was kindled
against Hester, and Miller said she threat>
ened to shoot Hester. When she got hold
OF the pistol she pulled the trigger and
shot Hester in the pit of the stomach, the
ball going through him and lodging under
the skin in his back, where it could be felt.
| Hester's shirt was burned, so close was the
pistol when it was fred. Hester grabbed
the pistol from the woman and threw it at
her, missing her, and then wheeled around
and went into Miller's house and lay down.
The boy, who had been trying to keep his
mother out of the difficulty all the time,
picked up the pistol, and the woman and
boy went off together through the woods
and fields. Sheriff McLain made an effort
10 capture her, following her some dis
lance, but was thrown off the track by
wrong Information, and when night came
on he had to abandon the search. Hester
seemed to be in great pain and tossed on
his bed at Miller's house, saying he was
| going to die. he seemed to be bleeding
internally. He said'he formerly lived in
Morgan county, and that the woman Fam
ME Smith came from Atlanta about one
year ago. DIR. J. D. Malone gave the
wounded man medical attention and cut
out the ball and piece of his sshirt came
out with it. Hester is still alive add will
probably recover.
| All ask is for you to call and get my
prices on Shoes, Hats and Crockery, and
you will quit paying two prices for goods.
Just come right in to my "hole IN the wall"
and you will be surprised at my price.

The Grand Jury didn't adjourn last
week until Tuesday afternoon, and as we
go to press Wednesday morning about ten
or eleven o'clock in order to get off the
country mail, which leaves here about II
o'clock, it was impossible for, us to get the
general presentments in that issue, ais
though they were furnished US by the
Clerk of the Court. They appear in this
issue, however. The communication

defer publication until this week. We had
to leave out some other matter also.
