    “Whiskey Rampant.

    On Monday evening last, a drunken printer named Dell, after annoying every body in his hearing during most of the afternoon, wound up the day’s work by using his “shooting stick“ on our worthy Ordinary, Judge J. B. Jones. Judge Jones did not feel his wound so seriously at the time, but that he could promptly knock Dell’s “form“ into “pi,” and comment “distributing” some handsomely placed “slugs” about his beautiful phiz, making such an ugly looking “case” of him that his best friends would hardly know him.

    The circumstances, as we have heard them, attending the shooting, were these: Dell, in his drunken frolic, had gone to the old Methodist church, now the property of Judge Jones, and commenced breaking the glass out of the windows, climbing up the sash and breaking them. Judge Jones went to him and very quietly put a stop to his amusement in that way. A short time afterwards, Dell appeared on the public square abusing Jones in the most profane and obscene language that he was master of. Jones approached him for the purpose of putting a stop to his abuse. Upon reaching him, he struck him with his open hand on the side of the head, upon which Dell drew his pistol and fired. Judge Jones was very near to Dell when the pistol fired, but was fortunately standing in such a position that as that the ball struck a rib and glanced round, lodging under the armpit on the left side, causing a painful but not dangerous wound.

    Dell was arraigned before Justice Williams on Tuesday morning, and held for his appearance at the next term of the district court, in a bond of one hundred dollars.

    The frequent scenes of drunkenness on our public square, and the occasional use of pistols in the hands of those who have become crazed by drinking the vile compounds sold in those degenerate days for whiskey, are awakening our citizens to the necessity of having our town incorporated. We are aware of the many difficulties and annoyances of incorporation is a small place like Blakely. Yet the question suggests itself with some force, after such transactions as the one referred to above, would it not be better that we cheerfully submit to the expense and all the unpleasantness that might attend a corporation, than that some of our worthy citizens should lose their lives at the hands of a rowdy? There are some other considerations, too, in favor of a corporation. There are several ponds about town that ought to be ditched at public expense. Citizens should be compelled to keep their premises free from decaying vegetation and all sorts of filth calculated to produce miasma. This can be done only by public authority. Let us organize under the act incorporating Blakely, if there be such an act. If there is no such act, let us have one passed at the next session of the legislature."

    "A Sad Tragedy:  On Monday night last, just after dark, our citizens were astounded by the report that Mr. R. W. Davis had shot and killed Judge J. B. Jones. Soon a large number of people were congregated at the place of the tragedy, in front of Henderson Bros'. store.  The particulars of the affair are, in brief, about as follows:

    It seems that Mr. Davis had been driving a double team, and when he came into town in the evening he drove to the livery stable, and told the stable boy to rub his horses down good and take care of them until he sent for them, and he would pay him.  The cleaning done, the animals were brought to the front of the stable and hitched only a short distance apart.  One of the horses being a stallion, and the other a filly, they soon got up a scene that is not so common in so public a place, it being right in front of Judge Jones's house.  This seems to have offended the Judge, and he went at once and put the stallion in his own lot.  After awhile Mr. Davis sent his negro man, Carson, for the horses, and Carson got another colored man to go into Judge Jone's lot for the stallion. When the Judge saw the horse being brought out of his lot, he went to the negro Carson and asked him by what authority he had taken the horse from his lot.  Carson replied that Mr. Davis had sent him for the horse. Judge then told him if he ever took another horse from his lot without permission, he would, "Break his d____d head", and it took his best to keep from doing it now - go tell Mr. Davis to come for the horse himself, he is the responsible party.  Judge Jones then passed over to his house, and in about ten or fifteen minutes came back with a knife open in his hand - stabbing fashion - and took a seat in front of Henderson Bro.'s store, holding the knife open in his hand.  In a few minutes Mr. Davis walked up, and addressing Mr. E. L. Fryer, the keeper of the stable, why his horses had not been sent to him when he sent for them.  Judge Jones rose from his seat and said, "By God, I am the man who wouldn't let the d__m nigger have the horse, what have you to say about it?"  To which Mr. Davis replied, "It is true that he is black, but he is a good negro, and I am responsible for him, and my horse too".  Judge Jones then said: "If you protect the d__n nigger, you are no better than he is you d___ n_____", just here he approached Mr. Davis with drawn knife.  Mr. Davis cautioned him not to come any closer, and shot off his pistol in the air, twice, one of the balls going through the top of the shelter under which the Judge had been standing.  At this Judge made some remark about poor shooting, to which Mr. Davis replied, "I didn't want to hit you, Judge." More words then passed between them, when Judge Jones again started for Mr. Davis, heedless of the warning given to him not to come any closer. Mr. Davis then fired a third shot, hitting him in the left breast.  The Judge remarked, "You hit me then," and made a few steps toward Mr. Davis, fell and expired almost instantly.

    A coroner's jury was soon summoned, several witnesses sworn, and the substance of what we have stated was given in evidence.  The jury returned a verdict of justifiable homicide.

    We heard the testimony and think the jury could scarcely have arrived at a different conclusion from the one expressed in their verdict.  It is certainly a very sad affair, and is much regretted by probably every good citizen of the community.  A helpless family is left in circumstances calculated to excite the kindest sympathies of all good people in their behalf.  We commend them to the mercies of Him who hath promised to be a father to the fatherless and a husband to the widow."

    The deceased had been Ordinary of the county for a number of years, and was re-elected to that position at the late election without opposition. He was also Marshall of our town, and was in the discharge of his duties in that position when he was killed.

    We have not talked with the man who did the killing, but are constrained to believe that he must now have a sad and heavy heart under the reflection that he has brought so much sadness and woe to innocent ones, which he might have avoided by walking away when he saw Judge Jones was not in a condition, mentally, to act with discretion, on account of a fancied insult to his family.  How sad the thought that poor human nature is so prone to act on impulse instead of letting reason have sway in times of trial, when we all need the best powers of thought we can command to enable us to act discreetly.

    We have not time nor space to say anything more.  We sincerely hope this sad affair may be a lesson to those who are prone to act without due reflection upon the consequences that may follow hasty and inconsiderate action.  So mete it be.

    P.S.  Since the above was put into type, Mr. Davis has had his trial before the committal court - Justices Fryar and Sirmons presiding.  The evidence in the case was patiently heard and commented on by Col. R. H. Powell for the prosecution and Col. E. C. Bower for the defence.  After a short deliberation by the Justices, they gave their decision discharging the prisoner.  Thus has the matter ended, unless the Grand Jury sees proper to take it up at the April term of the Superior Court."

    "Among Our Neighbors - The election for Ordinary of Early County to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Judge J. B. Jones resulted in the election of Mr. Thomas Henderson, by a handsome majority." 
    Biographical sketch 2023 
    In his relatively short life of 55 years, James B. Jones certainly had his share of adventure and misadventure. Born in Early County, Georgia, third in a line of at least eight children, he spent his entire life there. He married four separate times, had children with three of his wives, and outlived the wives all except the last. He was marshal, ordinary, and liveryman at various times, he was involved in the Civil War, was accused of corruption, and fended off at least two gun fights, the final one ending his life.

    His parents died when he was just 16, and his two older sisters married right around the time of his parents' deaths, leaving him to find his way on his own. Within three years, he married Mary Roe, a recent orphan herself. They were listed in the 1850 census as 20 and 13. She died after bearing four children. The second was my 2nd great grandmother, Eugenia Angaretta Jones Harrell. In the 1860 census, they were listed with their children and Mary's younger sister, Narcissa Rowe (Roe).

    With the need to find for a mother for his young kids, James married a second time to a widow, Sallie Ransone Bass.
