The matter has been kept very quiet, and
even the senior member of the nrm is in
bIissful Ignorance of the important bust

will not mention names, but will say
that in the whole South a gentleman of

We direct attention to the advertise
ment Of Mr.. Leo Wheat's Concert, which
I comes OF at the New Memphis Theater
on Friday night. The array Of names of
participants is quite sufficient of itself to
[ attract a large audience, but when 70 it
we add the fact that the programme will
be one TO call forth their powers
of execution and rendition, we are
sure that nothing is wanting that
! could promise a concert Of IN
usuaI interest and brilliancy. AS it is
the farewell of our home pianist, his fel-
low artists rave determined to make 1t
an ovation worthy his o We hope
our people will second their efforts, and
I lend their presence in numbers sufficient
10 crowd the house in every part. Mr..
Never pianist Of high merit, Will, on the
occasion, make his debut before a Mem
phis audience, and add largely to the in
Terest of the occasion. We ave had the
pleasure Of hearing him, and can assure
our readers something new and artistic in
the Interpretation Of the compositions of
the masters. Sabatzky will sing, and
Farmer will be there with his flute.
Tho Grenada Sentinel on Saturday
saws: 1--WE are pleased to announce that
Governor AIcorn has appointed Major j..

genial gentleman, and an able lawyer;
one who will grace the position and give

formerly a resident of u town, and here
i'm 1916 he edited with much ability the
Grenada cha ORicLe. Another good APP
pointment is thai of N. G. Brady as
States Attorney for the First District.
Mr.. Brady is a young lawyer Of high
standing, and clever legal attachments.
Talented and amiable, he has a bright fu-
ture before him, aud we predict that he
viii make one of the very best of his po-
sition in the State. OF the many good
Apo ntments made by Governor Alcorn
we look upon that of Major Simmons and
Mr.. Brady as among his very best"
Judge simmons was in the city yester-
dav. and hOnored the APPEAL Office with a
call. We can only reiterate the cOmpli-
ments Of Colonel Signaigo in regard to
him. We are truly delighted to see Gov
ernOr Alcorn acting with so much con-
servstism end discrimination.
in lnufsGdYs AIb AotA uAb.s our utlAl-
boring county Of Attala, says the Good
man Central Star, " was the scene of a
most brutal and cowardly murder. The
particulars, so far as We have been able to
learn. are as follows: A freedman by the
name Of Joel Hartman, had been in Good
man purchasing supplies for bis family,
and after loading his wagon frOmthe house
of Hartman & Drane, he left about noon,
in company with his son for his home in
Attala county. He was Overtaken at Ed
mund Clark's blacksmith shop, abont
three miles from this place, by two white
men, who paid him seventy-ive cents to
ride in his wagon as far as he was going
on their road. After proceeding some W
miles I arther, when near Mr.. j. NJ. Dick
ersoa's place, be and his little son, some
eight years old, were brutally murdered
by the villains who were riding with
them, and their bodies dragged a shOr
distance into the woods. TIT murderers
then appropriated the wagon and team,
and driving up the road a few hundred
wards, they threw out the load and made
their escape. Travelling eastward as far
as Long Creek bridge, They then turned
westward, and crossed Big Black at the
Durant turnpike next day. As soon as
the fact of the murder became known,
several citizens of the neighbOrhOOd
started in pursuit of the ruf1ians. They
succeeded in recapturing the wagon and
team. but the men made their escape. So
far as We can hear there is no clue as to
who they are, but suspicion rests upon
two men whose names we deem it best
not to give"
