We regret that it becomes our duty to chronicle thi killing. On Wednesday morning of this week ia No. 6 township George Wilson and his wife woro walking down the public road in 200 yards of their humble hotre where their six children were. They quarreled and George, who had a piece of iron in his hand that he had carried fron home, drew back and struck his wife in the head and dragged her from the road to the bushes and throw tYe body in the ditch and went on. Tt.o wife's mother, who saw the dIleulty, got up soine persons and called in Dr. W. 1). Sonn who lived near by and had the body removed to the home of the unfortunate woman where she died in about three-quarters of an hour after being struck without regaining con sciousness. The mother of the woman says they were not quarroling when they left the house. They were living with Mr. J. R. Hendrix and had just moved, being mn der contract to work this year for him. They say George is a negro who is not very bright, bit his action in this case looks like the whole thing was promed itated. Coroner Lindsay held an inquest Wednesday afternoon and the verdict was in accordance with-above fac s Sheriff Biuford has requested the cor oner always to notify him as soon as a homicide is comnit.ted and not wait until after the inquest. So on Wednes day the sherif wta out after Wilson before the coroner got there. But Wilson after commit ting Lho deed and leaving returned to Lonlhores, and he had been arrested before the sheriff arrived. This is a good plan of Sheriff Buford. It does not givt the criminal so much time to get away. Wilson is now in jil]. AF3RIVAL FRESH SEEDS!

For a number of years, since we Ilave been engaged in rubbing up thoughts for the public, we have made it a rule at the beginning of the new year to try and introduce something that might be of interest to the readers. In the first place, we want to thank our good lady friond for asking us to give another one of our good new year letters. Such words of compliment are always highly esteemed by the writer, but we always feel that they are more flattering than wO deserve. We never undertake to write * letter of this kind but what creates thoughts of sadness-to think another Christmas has come and gone, which has turned down one more leaf upon the p. ges of our life, 305 more days never to be Ived by an"one again. Yes, the light of the old year has closed upon us with all its sorrows, troubles, disappoint ments, perplexities, joys, happiness and pleasures. '1he tst year, likn all ,thmrA, has been one of varying scenes, with its sunshine and its shadow. And so we will find the years to come. It is largely left with each individual to say for himself whether the sunshine or the shadow shall predominate in his own life. While we have mny thing8 to look back upon the old year with sorrow and regret, yet we should lift ul our voices in thanksgiving and praise that' while so many loving ones and smiling faces whom we knew only one Christ mas ago are now sharing the realities of an unknown world to i, God has been so merciful to us that we now stand upon the borders of another new year as living monuments of his crea tion. The beginning of a new year brings to our minds an overwhelming sense ef work to be done. There is somehow concentrated into the first of the year, a realization of the work of the whole year. But we must strive to throw olT the depression of so heavy a burden. All the uncertainties, labors and poss1 blo perplexities and disasters of the coming twelve months crowd on the imagination and change the outlook from one of hope and inspiration to one of liscouragement and almost of do spair. If we were called to face the whole of a year at once, the strongest of us would certainly fail. But as our whole work is divided into fragments, the weakest of us, if wo only have courage, are able to carry tho whole load. Let our deeds of the past, year, be them good or evil, God knows them all and they are marked down agalkist us; so let us look forward and forget those things which aro behind us, and reach forth to those thing6 which are before -to press forward to t,o mark for the prize of the high calling In Jesus Christ. Now let us all make a new step in the blossed new year which stands beforc us untouched, and be sure to lot a part of that step be kindness. "Kind words turnoth away. wrath, but griev ouls wordls stirreth up anger.'" First p)ractico kindness in your domestic life, then it will conmc nat,ural with y'ou ini your outer life. JIust t,hink what a t,ln dency kindness has to unload a burden In conclusion with these thoughts, Mr. Editor and dear readers, I extend to you all my best wishes as a new year gift, and earnestly pray that prosperity, peace, love and happiness may redown upon our heads the com ing new year. And let us take all things with a view that we are only to live one day at a time. Professor Mills dismissed his school on C'hisitltm eve, with guit.e a liberal treat to the studlents.

Trho Christmas holidays passed off with remarkable quietude,no accident,s of any kind that we have heard of, Notwithstanding the depiressedl condli t,ioni of the country, everybody seemned to he in very gaood cheer. The little folks were made hiappy by the uispal visit of eld Santa Claus, which they at ways look forward to with much de light and joy. This Santa Claus' doc trine we have always considerced to be an erroneous one, hut, yet, it's an old cust.om which has been p)racticed1 by our old foroparonts for p)ast genera tions, andl we keep It up in memory of them. 1"or fear that we will slight, someone, we wvill omit, the Christmas visiting. Here goes for the changes made among our wvhito peCople. Mr. John C. Sligh mnoved from his p)laeo near the old Galiman homestead to trie'Colony communit,y. Mr. A. .J. Long mfov'ed from his p)lace on liidgo roadl to the factory at Nowherry. Mr. J1. H. Kib1 1cr moved from his p)lace to his son-in law's, Mr. T1. L. 1H. Epps. Mr. W. W. KIinard moved from Mr. J1. 11. Foellers' pla1ce near Prosperity to Dr. JT. 11. Simnp son's old Sligh place near Jinchman t hapel. Mr. (1. S. Rikard moved from Mr. Mark M ills' p)lace and now occu pies the house with Mr. A. TI. P'iestor that was vacat,ed by Mr. Kinard. We have just learned that. Dr. D). II. Wertz will mTove today from Slighm's hack to his old1 honwrplaco in Jolly Street section. T1hiis about compilletes the moving among the whites through this section, as far as we can draw to our mind, and if I undertook to note all the mnovinig that took place among the negroes, it, would take about one side of the paper. Enook hee Kay, what kind of a lix Is that you had your arm put In? .I don't exactly remeuber, but it strikes mne that you said something about having it "oculated," and asked Chips to sizo up the word. Qualibus, ampullis no ejicias. Look here, old Bud, you have I)ut 3me to a heap of trouble. I have had to take down one of my little b>ooks on you, and I'll bo dad-snapted if I draw down my old big digester I'll Literally tear you into flinders. Its no us0 of telling the people that we're having some hard frozen weather, Lhey all know that. Notwithstanding Uhristwas was a rough day to face the weather, we in company with Mr. J. P. Kinard wert over and enjoyed the day with our old friend, Col. D. A. Rufl, and his hospitable faintly. Almost cverybody in the county knows Col. RuIT, and a day's visit to his homo just slmply neans a day's enjoyinent. If iuir whole country was just filled with such peopl ats Col. RuIT, Perry and Ben IIalfatere, we would have better times. Col. Rutff lives and boards at 1,he same place, and his pile of conI), fodder, peas, bacon, plumpkins, pota Loes, imolasses and all just such stuff show that he's not only a farmer by name. If all other farmers would di versity their Crops ats Col. Hity, they wouldn't be so iteli Interested iII the repeal of the lion law. Look here, Kay, I thought you told mei0 that you were going to keep politics outof the cott.un grower' organization.
