TWO MEN DROWNED

We learn that two men, one by the name of Thompson and the other Norris, 
were drowned just above Franklin in the Chattahoochee river on Thursday 
night the 14th inst. We failed to get any of the particulars connected with 
the drowning. There were three of them, it is said, out fishing, one 
escaping. Up to 8 o'clock Friday morning, the time our informant passed 
through Franklin, the bodies of the unfortunate men had not been recovered.
