YOUNG LADY WAS
FOULLY MURDERED
BODY FOUND FRIDAY MORNING
GREAT EXCITEMENT CAUSED OVER KILL.
ING OF MISS JAMIE HILL SHARPE
IN WINSTON COUNTY

Meridian, Miss, July q. One
of the most narrowing, and un-
provoked murders, so far as
known. that has ever occurred in
Mississippi was discovered yes
terday at Rural Hill. in
Winston county, when the dead
body Of Miss jamie Sharp was
found.
1t appears that the young lady
went to the postoffice at Rural
Hill for the mail late Thursday
afternoon. She did not return
when expected and inquiry
among neighbors failed to locate
her. A search was at once in
stituted by the neighbors and
early this morning, about 4:30
O'Clock, her dead body was found
by the roadside, with her head in
a pool of water. horribly mutt
lated, and her throat cut from
ear to ear, apparently with a
pocket knife.
She was only eighteen, and
was especially popular with the
young people. There were two
young men who were paying her
especial attention.
AS soon as the dead body Of
the beautiful young girl was
found, the news spread over the
country, and soon reached Louis
vile, the county seat. where
Judge Geo. A. Mclean of Vino
ma, was holding a term of circuit
court. Judge Mclean, in order
to prevent summary justice. told
the people that if the guilty
party was caught, he should
have an immediate trial at this
term of court.
Almost Immediately after the
finding of the dead body of the
young girl, bloodhounds were Sc
cured and they took the trail,
but before they had gone a great
distance a rain set in. and the
dogs could not follow the trail
further. Posses. however. were
organized and a search was be-
gun in all directions in an effort
to locate the murderer.

MANY PRETTY SCHOOL GIRLS
Sixty From State Normal School Take A
Look At The Middies

Sixty pretty lasses from the Mary
land State Normal School, Baltimore,
paid a visit to Annapolis yesterday.
The good looking bunch of school
girls were under the chaperonage of
three teachers, and the assistant to
the superintendent of Public Instruc-
tion, Mr.. Z. r. Purdham, acted as
cicerOne.
The party was brought here over
the Maryland Electric Railway Com
pany's road from Baltimore shortly
before noon. Their visit was sort
of object lesson in ancient and modern
history and in naval tactics. The
party visited the old and the new
State House, old st. Johns College
and new Mcdowell Hall, and the new
Naval Academy, where they incident
ally took a peep at the middies, and
received instructions in naval. tao
tics, so to speak.
Among the inanimate objects of
interest looked at was the old Liberty
Poplar on st. Johns College Green,
under which the colonists signed a
treaty of peace with the Indians in
1919. The students and chaperons
took luncheon at Carvel Hall and re-
turned to Baltimore late in the after
noon.
