Saturday, November 27, 1880


News comes from Adams county, Miss., that a young Mr. GREEN, son of Robert 
GREEN, of Liberty township, was shot and killed by a negro. Young Green has 
been quite a wanderer and would much rather be scouting around over the 
country doing menial work than to stay with his father and enjoy the comforts 
of a pleasant home. In his peregrinations he found himself at last in 
Mississippi where he engaged at work upon a plantation as an ordinary 
plantation hand. His employer who wrote to his friends in this county 
informing them of his terrible death, states that he was an industrious youth 
and good worker but disposed to be quarrelsome with his associate workmen. He 
got into a difficulty with a negro on the plantation over some trifling matter 
which terminated in the negro drawing a bead on him with his rifle and 
shooting him through the head, killing him instantly. It was sad news for the 
father and friends of the young man to receive.
