The Cherokee Advance 14 April 1881 p 3
Mr. Amos Ellington, who lived in the edge of Crawfordsville (sic), was 
murdered on last Thursday.  It seems that Mr. Ellington was a good citizen, 
and his assassination is much regretted.  He was hauling rails and fixing his 
fence, in a half mile of the court house on Thursday last, when he was 
attacked and murdered by some unknown person or persons. A bullet hole was 
found in his head, and an ugly gash on his jaw, showing that the perpetrators 
were anxious to make sure of his life.  Such lawlessness in Georgia is 
becoming too frequent, and the guilty parties should, if captured, be punished 
to the fullest extent of the law.
