OVER THE COUNTY JoneHville News Letter. Jonesville, February 24.?Less than one short month ago Robert D. Coleman, one of our honorable, truthful, upright, citizens was living, .moving and having his being and in his usual health and n the enjoyment of life. All was peace and quiet in his happy home. But his manly form sleeps in the tomb near the place of his birth and his late home. His son. Harry, has been prosecuted and tried and a mistrial made by the jury, and Harry now lies in the rock cell in the county jail, there to linger until the next term of court in June. No one knows who assassinated Mr. Coleman but the one that committed the crime and the all-seeing eye of Him who sees all things done by those in the darkness as well as those in the light. I will not write a verdict. The jury didn't write one, neither will I. But I do hope that a verdict will some day be written against the one that committed the crime. The latter part of last week was rainy, dark and dismal, but yesterday and today we have the beautiful lovely sunshine. The family of J. R. Poole is moving to their home in Cherokee county. Mr. A. J.
