Jackson Argus September 1, 1899
Mrs. Monroe Farley of Spalding County was alone in her room Wednesday night 
about 7:30 o’clock sewing on her machine, when a Negro slipped up behind her, 
grabbed her, by the shoulders and blew out the lamp.   The Negro attempted to 
smother Mrs. Farley, but in this he was unsuccessful  and she screamed for 
help.   Mr. Hammond, her brother in law, was in the house, and securing his 
pistol ran into Mrs. Farley’s room to see what the trouble was.   He reached 
the door just in time to hear the door close as the negro made his escape and 
no one in the house saw him sufficiently to recognize him.
