Hokrible Crime of a Negro Near New Name, Ga—His Daughter's Heroic Defence. Newname, Ga., Dec. 2.—The most horrible murder iu the history of | of this section and one which was intended only as a prelude to more over the Campbell County line,about | 12 miles from here, last night. Au | eld, prominent citizen was killed and an effort was made to kill his | wife. About midnight a negro named Joe Bean went to the house of A | B. Leigh, a prominent farmer, and | told him that one of his croppers | was very sick and wanted some med- icine. Bean had worked around the place some time, so Leigh suspected | nothing, but got out of bed, took | the sicilteloe and started off with | the negro. Half an hour later Bean came back to the hause and said he | had been sent to bring Mra: Leigh | or Mies Leigh. The family consist- ed of father and mother and two daughters, Lilla, 21 years old, and Willie, 17. The women suspected | something was wrong, their suspic- | ions being intensified by the discov- | ery that the negro, who had stepped inside the house, bad a pistol in_ bis | hand. Quick asa flash Willie, the | younger girl, grabbed her father’s double barreled shotgun and order the negro out. His reply was a shot from revol- ver, which, however missed her. Shé pulled the trigger of the gun, but only one barrel was loaded, aud the hammer fell ou the wrong barrel. | The negro ran out and around the window. Here the girl fired at him | and he agaiu at her. This time be- ing 80 close that her face was badly burned by the discharge. Bean made his escape, however. The girl went outside then and) tived half a dozen shots that brought | the neighbors. A search instituted, | and two hours laterfound body stab- | bed in nine places. A search is being | boochee in a boat. It is suspected the negro bad an accomplice. = | common handkerchiefs. | small BURGLARS WITH NERVE. | he London Clothing Cos. Store Enter- ed Last Night, Rich Hill Review, Dec. Ist. The London Clothing Company's store was entered by burglars last night, and goods to the amount of four or five hundred stolen, so Mr. Jonas, the manager, informs us. They effected an en trance by prying open the rear door and proceeded to pick out just such goods as they wanted. Every silk handkerchief and muffler in the store was taken besides any quantity of The scarf pins and hair ornaments were all taken, and the burglar burglars took the time and precaution to re move every one of them from the dollars were or j card on which they were displayed. A pair of No. 10 shoes were taken and the box left. A full counter of | clothing was picked’ over, but Mr. Jonas thinks the clothing was too for the man, judging, no doubt, from the size of his feet, and he did not take any of the same. Two of the finest white shirts in the store were taken, and any amount of other small goods. Mr Jonas thinks that the burglars are etill in | town, and that it was someone fa milar with the stock of goods. as only the best of everything was ta- ken. ‘Lhe fact taat this occurred right on our main street and that it must have taken several hours to secure all the goods in the manner in which they did, demonstrates very clearly that they were men of nerve and old hands at the business. This is the first burglary that has occurred in this city for some time and it ic hoped that the guilty par- ties will be caught. We understand the thieves were caught in Kansas City Saturday night by the chief of police, and that the Rich Hill authorities were noti- fied and officers were sent to the city to bring them back.

It is very rarely that one sees a wom- an’s hair of the absolutely inky blue of Hamlet's cloak, but when one does be certain the dusky chevelure is a great beauty.

Leaving two of their number on the lookout, the other four battered down the door, en- tered the house and proceeded to search for valuables. Not content with what they dil not find, they ripped open the sacks of flour that were in the kitchen and scattered the contents all over the house. They shot the ceiling full of holes and put half a dozen bullets into the only looking glass on the premises. Asaclimax to their deviltry, they caught a hog that was roaming about in the barn-yard, tied its lege and put it into the best bed in the house After firicg a parting volley through the windows they rode south into the Indian Territory. | Four Months For 25 Cents.

A PRETTY WRITING TABLET. Can Te Mado, at Home and in Convenient and Cheap. A very serviceable and pretty writ- ing let can be made at home with little trouble at the minimum of expense. To make it, get from any carpenter a stout, smooth board two feet square. Cover itsmoothly on both sides with pretty figured French ere tonne. In the lower part of the center of the board tack diagonally across the corners of a place eight inches wide by tivelve inches fong small straps of sill ribbon elastic. Under these straps slip a piece of blotting paper just eight by twelve inches in size. On the left of the blotter tack two straps of the elastic to hold the package of note paper and the pack of envelopes. In the upper middle portion of the board a strap of elastic is tacked up and down, making three places in which to stick a pen, pencil and paper- knife. Just above the blotter a travel- er’s inkstand is firmly giued. To the right of this a small strap is tacked on, in which to slip a little book made of oil paper. in which to keep postage stamps. The right side of the board has straps so arranged as to accommodate postal cards and another package of paper and envelopes. When good taste is used in the selection of the cretonne and neatness in the tacking of it and the straps on the hoard, the effect is something quite artistic and pleasing. The tacks are brass-headed, and two quite small ones are realif better than one large one. and are prettier as well. In covering the board. cover the bot- tom part first. leaving a small margin of the goods, which must be tacked upon the thick edge of the board with small, ordin tach The upper cov- er of the board is cut with a margina littie wider than the board is thiek.
