and seated upon stool, casting his eye.
around over the multitude, he said sit
appears, they are determined to hang
me, they may do it, am ready to die al
any moment" The sheriff then read
the death warrant under which he acted
and in which the word "murder'' was
cited, Crawford, again spoke, and said
81 am no murderer, if had got fair
trial, | would not be here TO suffer an
ignominiOus death it is what none ofmy
name or kindred were evere brought to
before the witnesses against me were
mbribed to pegure themselves, and the
Jury were weak, misIed, ignorant men,
and did not do me justice, or would
now be at home; but, Hope soon to
appear before a more just Judge than
any lhaye ever been before in Washing
ton county,"
The Rev. Charles Wheeler, in
mild and gentle tone of voice, put the
following question to him, "Mr. Craw.
ford ar ou willing to forgive your enc.
mics, particularly, your own family :"
To this Crawford, replied, turning his
face round to the left, ''you are no father
contessOr, mind your own business, and
let me alone; God may forgive them,
won't, | will not die with lie in my
mouth; | am no hypocrite nor will 1
make blowing horn of myself" The
clergy then took their leave of him, and
left the scaffold. Sheriff Officer, assisted
by his deputy, Mr.. A.'Cleiland, placed
him forward under the arm of the gal
lows, in his proper position; he took the
sheritf's hand and bid him farewell
blessed him and thanked him for his kind
attention. At ten minutes before one
O'Clock, the sheriff adjusted the moose
round his neck, and in fixing it proper
ly, Crawford said, "Sir, You are Chok
ing me,'' these were his last words. In
fews seconds the sheriff turned from the
prisoner, lifted hatchct, raised his hand
and with one blow cut the rope that sup.
ported the platform. Crawford swung
in the air, he raised first the left hand
and then the right attempting to grasp
his neck, with his right, he then cought
the slack rope. and both hands gently
inclined down his sides, and he hung
without the slightest struggle or exer-
ton, excepting contraction of one
shoulder, then the other, and heaving
one long and strong conyulsion OF the
breast +; In minutes his pulse was gone
and in 7 he was apparently dead, he
held white handkerchiefin MS left hand
during the whole fine,
While hanging he bled a little from
the right nostril and there appeared a
slight discharge of water from the eyes
from the raising of the hands in a
natural manner, tits evident the neck
joints were not dislocated, in the fall
from the scalfold. In AZ minutes he
was lowered into his coffin, closed up,
and bore of, by direction of his execu-
tor, who had attended there by pre-
vious arrangement, for the purpose of
taking his corpse, home TO his own
house.

MARTINsBURG, Mar. 10, 1923.

1t is with truly painful feelings that
we nave to record the unexpected
death of Mr.. GEORGE HARLAN. his
vile and three children. About seven
years ago Mr.. Harlan removed from
tins county 10 Christian county. Ken.
On the 9th January, Mr.. Harlan,
MS wife and three children were at.
templng to cross the river near his
house IN small boat, the boat upset,
and the whole were unfortunately
drowned. They have large number
OF relatives in this county to whom
their death is an affecting dispensatian.
The Banks in Baltimore have come
to a resolution to take on depo.
sites the notes of the Banks of the
Valley in Virginia, those of the Dis.
trIct OF Columbia; and Of the State of
Maryland. la order to test the utility
OF this measure, the holders of such pa
per will be required to make their de.
posItes OF Virginia notes fifteen, and
OF District notes ten days previous to
checking on the same. This mea.
sure IN the outset may be polite, but
we hope that the time is not far
distant when all the banks will find
IL 10 tneir own, as well as the mer
chants interest to receive the above
notes In common with their own.

Look up-o taste, taste not the bowl
Again, nor dream of pleasure there,
Which While it lulls, destroys the SOUL
And deeper sinks it in despair.
lis but TO paint blacker sky,
To add to cloudy darkness, night,
To give another agony
To the fresh thought of crush'd delight.
When from the worlds mad revelry,
When from the oblivion of an hour
Thou wak'st, the cup of misery
Is thine, and mem'ry's Grazing power.
Then turn again, and feel for them
Who long have felt and feel for thee;
Nor take away that priceless gem,
Thy souls best light that used to be.
The smile ofhappiness from one,
Whose heart with thine is so entwin'd,
That what disturbs thy soul alone
Can give an anguish to her mind.
Art thou husband, and canst look
Back on the past nor feel sting'
Have heaven and fondness thee forsook,
That thou canst feel no sorrowing'
Canst thou forget the heart that turn'd
To thee in all its wo OF bliss;
And which still burns, as then It bnrn'd,
With all its young, warm faithfulness2
O turn again and in those ewes,
Perchance, where wo his sign has set,
The light of better days will rise,
And her last bloom may flourish yet.
Yes in that cheek where nature first
In all her earliest witch'ry shone,
The rosy flush again may burst,
And life and bliss be all her own.
