The Nashville, Chattanooga &

its best efforts to induce a good

and to engage the attention OF
capitalists seeking manufacturing
sites or mining property. 1t there
fore solicits the support, the CO.
operation and assistance of the
people of every county through
which its lines pass. The manage
ment earnestly requests that all
persons who have farms tor sale or
lease, those who have timbered
lands, water powers or mineral
lands for sale, will send a brief de-
scription of the same to the rail-
road agent nearest them, giving
the prices and terms of sale. The
prices must correspond with the
prices asked of local buyers. The
management does not propose to
aid in selling land to immigrants
at exorbitant or speculative prices.
Large tracts suitable for colonial

of assaulting MIR. Myles with intent
to kill were given a preliminary
trial before Esq. r. A. Roberts in

w. P. MYLES MURDERED
By Negro Chicken Thieves at Fulton
In Jail Here.

About half past three o'clock
Monday morning Mr.. w. p. Myles,
we'll known citizen, was assaulted
by two negro thieves at his home
in the suburbs in South Fulton and
seriously wounded.
At the above hour in the morning
Mr.. Myles awoke, that being his
usual hour of getting up to build a
fire. After dressing and making
the fire he heard someone breaking
into the henhouse and noiselessly
slipped out in the yard to detect
the thieves. He noticed the hen
house door open and thought the
thieves had escaped, but decided to
investigate further. AS he ap-
preached the door he saw a negro
man and grabbed him. A scuff1e
ensued and another negro came out
of the henhouse and struck Mr..
Myles. The other negro then freed
himself and grabbed an ak and
struck Myles twice in the back of
the head inficting two deep gashes
and rendering him unconscious.
The thieves then escaped. Mr..
Myles lay in the yard until six
O'Clock, when discovered by his wife
in an almost frozen condition. He
was removed to the house and did
not regain CONSCIOUSNESS until about
noon when he related the story as
above stated, naming one of the
negroes as Sam Jones, an eighteen
year old boy, but did not know the
other negro.
Mrs. Myles awoke when her hus-
band did at $50, but went back to
sleep again and did not awake until
six when she missed her husband.
No one of the family were awakened
when the tragedy took place and
the victim lay in the yard in an un-
conscious state for two and a half
hours, being stiff when discovered.
Marshal Jesse Walker arrested
Jones in Kentucky. He was locked
up and later confessed, duplicating
Shad Thomas, another negro who
worked on the railroad. Thomas
was Immediately arrested.

Florentine wares are shown in all
manner of table decorations, bGic-a-brac

test novelties in this ware are the fruit
baskets, in different sizes and fancy
shapes. which are garlanded and hung
with clusters OF grapes lin the natural
colors OF the different varieties), vine
leaves, clusters OF lemonss small or
anges and other fruits. Other baskets
and receptacles are fringed with masses
or bluebels, lilies, night blooming
cersus and lotus blooms. Nothing
could be more novel for a centrepiece
than one of these Florenine pieces, and
many are being bought or Thanksgiv-
ing and Christmas offerings. One OF
the prettiest novelties in decorative
china is in a point lace design. On
plates. cups and saueers, individual
salts and bouillon cups is a fine white
lace tracery over a dark blue old rose
or pink ground, with a thread Of gilt
on the edge. The centres and inside are
