Since our last issue we have learned more correctly the facts with regard to the killing of Mr. Kelley, of Webster parish. 
It seems that he was first struck in the head with a hoe and then was dragged off some distance, where his throat 
was cut with a knife.  The murderer has been captured and disposed of. —Claiborne Advocate.
