DEATH of Rev. J. M. Blalock - Rev. J. M. Blalock, an old citizen of this county, and intimately identified with its history, for the past twenty or thirty years, died on last Tuesday evening at his residence in this place, after an illness of six or seven weeks. Mr. B. Was a man that was universally respected in this community, on account of his courteous deportment and fair and upright dealings, with all with whom he came in contact. As an evidence of the esteem in which he was held, we would state, that his fellow citizens confided to him repeatedly the office of Ordinary, which responsible position he filled with credit to himself, and satisfaction to his constituency. We have not space this morning (Thursday) for an extended sketch of Mr. B. We hope at an early day to publish a suitable tribute to his memory, from some one of his numerous friends in this community, more familiar than we are, with his past history.Mrs. Blalock who has been confined to her room for several months, we regret to state, is still very low, though it has been thought for the past week or two, that she was getting better. To the bereaved family in their affliction we tender our heartfelt sympathies.

BROKE JAIL: Escape of Charles Albright, Hicks and Coleman from the Coweta
Jail ---- Quite a sensation was created in town on last Monday
morning, by the report, that Charles Albright, charged with the murder of Woods
some two years ago, - Hicks, charged with the murder of Brown,
and Coleman, charged with larceny, all prisoners from this county (Carroll),
had escaped from the Coweta Jail, where they had been sent for
safe keeping, on last Saturday night. On the arrival of the hack (note:
stagecoach) in the evening, the truth of this report was confirmed, and some of
the particulars given.
It will be remembered that these prisoners had been sent from this county
because our jail was thought to be insecure, and because it was
generally believed that the Newnan jail was particularly safe as it was a new
brick structure. In this however it seems were mistaken.
As we have stated above, the escape was made on last Saturday night. This
was done by cutting and boring a hole large enough for the body to
pass through in the rear of the building. All of the prisoners who escaped,
including Wm. Albright who failed to get away, were confined to the
same cell. The reason given by William, why he did not go too, was because he
did not care to, as he preferred to stand his trial, as he had done
nothing to run away for. But the true reason is said to be, because the hole
was too small for his body, he being the largest man of the four. This
view, of the matter is further confirmed by the fact that a note was
discovered, which he had written to the jailor, bidding him an affectionate
farewell,
and requesting him to return a book which he had borrowed. The report is, and
we suppose it comes from Wm. Albright, that Coleman was the
first let down, and that he went some one or two hundred yards across a street,
and got a ladder, for the others to come down upon, the cell
being i8n the second story. It seems to us, that with all this going on around
him, the jailor who lives in the first story, right under the prisoners
cell, must certainly have slept very soundly.
Up to this writing (Thursday morning), we have heard of no efforts being
made to catch the escaped prisoners and we suppose this will be
about the last we shall hear of them.

PUBLIC CEMETERY - One of the great needs of Carrollton, at this time, is a public cemetery. The time has come when we are really obliged to have one, as the only burial ground in the town, (that of the M. E.Church) is filled up. As every citizen of the place is interested in this thing, we think the town council should take this matter in had, and after having selected a suitable place, through a committee, buy it for a cemetery. It should consist of at least ten acres of ground and be accessible to town. This is a matter in which the council has full jurisdiction and should be attended to at once. Care and respect shown to the dead is looked upon as one of the tests of the refinement and culture of people.

FEBRUARY 9, 1877
--Death of Mrs. Allen Coleman of Honduras. On last Monday
evening the remains of Mrs. Coleman, wife of Mr. Allen Coleman of Honduras,
were received at this place. From what we can learn, Mrs. Coleman left
Honduras some thirty or forty days ago for the purpose of returning to this
county where she formerly lived for the restoration of her health. She was
accompanied by her brother in-law Mr. Jno. Coleman who went out to Honduras,
from this county, last spring, besides she had along with her two children, one
a son of twelve or thirteen years of age, and the other a baby some six or
seven months old. As we have stated, Mrs. Coleman left Honduras sick, and in
crossing the Gulf of Mexico, on the way to New Orleans, her troubles were no
doubt added to by the death of her babe. Being far from land at the time of
its death there was no other alternative but to cast the remains of the little
one into the Gulf. This was no doubt a terrible shock to the mother, already
very feeble, and she did not long survive. She died we are told after she had
arrived in this country, on the cars between New Orleans and Montgomery, (we
have not been able to find out, at what exact point). and her remains were
