P.S. This letter will be mailed at Jones X Roads, as it is not believed a letter would reach you put in the Dadeville Post Office, for the reason that Mr. Gresham is connected with P.O. at this place. A Freeman was assaulted and cut by a white man 3 or 4 miles above here last night, it is reported without just-cause on the 18th inst. another was shot and killed in the upper portion of this county by Mr. J.M. Phillips. No arrests made that I have heard of. 
There is no sheriff in the county, and it is said no one will have the office.
