On Wednesday of last week, a

yard the night before. The negro
said that he lived in Atlanta and
| that he had been to Marietta and
was on his way back to Atlanta,
but he failed to give any reason
why he was lying around Mr.. Nc
Inness' house. The road hands
came along and told him to leave.
but he seemed to move off very
slowly, and one of the darkeys at
work on the road, asked him if
his feet were sore and then he fred
a pistol shot behind him that
made him depart double quick.
He was followed some distance
and another shot was fired and he
was seen running at full speed
two miles below the place where
he first started.
