MURDER IN FRANKLIN PARISH

We learn, from a passenger on the last trip of 
the Cleona to this place, that news had been received at Columbia 
of the assassination of Barzilla F. Small, while on the road 
from Winnsborough to the Ouachita River. Mr. Small has been a 
resident of Franklin parish for a 
number of years, and was highly esteemed by the good and 
respectable portion of its citizens. He was known during 
the late war as an uncompromising Union man, and took an 
active part during the last election in favor the 
Constitution and of the success of the Republican ticket.
