The Georgia Enterprise
  On the 12th instant, one of the most appalling fatalities of the day occurred
at Cedar Grove, DeKalb county, eight or ten miles from Atlanta. Two young 
ladies, Misses Adaline and Eliza Richardson, dug up a small piece of deadly
hemlock root, and supposing it to be angelroot, they acted upon the fatal error,
each eating a small piece of the poisonous stuff. In about thirty minutes the 
poison showed itself, and in half an hour longer, Adaline died in violent 
convulsions. The other sister very narrowly escaped the same fate.
