A Horrible Crime in the South.

MEMPHIS April lG.-The Augusta,
Arkansas, Bulletin publishes letter
from Union county, Arkansas, giving
an account Of horrible outrage upon,
and murder of u white woman by ne
gro in that county.
A few weeks ago u married woman
went to neighbours to remain several
days, but found no one at home, and
started to return, when negro stopped
her horse, took her off and drove, pushed
and pulled her eight miles into the bot
tom lands, where he tied her to a tree
and rayished her, keeping her there for
three days
On the second day, while still tied 70
the tree, she gave birth to child On
the third day the husband of the unfor-
tunate woman not finding her at the
neighbors', but discovering her horse
where the negro had left it tied, collected
some Of his friends and began search
which resulted in finding her dead body
tied to tree, the negro having murder
ed her by blows upon the head inflicted
with club.
The murderer was soon after captured
by party Of negroes, who were assisting
in the search. At the husband s request
the negroes built two log heaps and set
ting them on fire, placed the negro be-
tween them. They were twonty-four
hours burning him, at intervals subject
ing him to horrible fortunes, such as
cutting off his toes and strips from bis
body.
There were three other negroes con-
cerned in the rayishing Of the woman.
They were subsequently caught and shot.

While standing in front of the Post
Office yesterday, our attention was at
tracted by an entirely new and stylish
d" turnout" in the way Of a business wa
gon, which surpasscs anything of the
kind we have ever seen in our town. It
is owned by The Howe Machine Co., of
Baltimore, aud is to be used by their
entcrprisiug salesman here, Mr. l.. EA-
GLE.
1t affords us pleasure to see that the
increase Of his business renders such an
establishment necessary in order to ia
cilitatc the delivery Of the celebrated
Howe Machines, the demand for which,
ne informs us is now larger than ever.

that by sending so he would receive a
gift Of S25, 900. The old gentleman
replied that il was unnecessary for him
to send that $40, as they could deduct
that amount from the 1925, 900. He add
ed that be would be satisfied TO allow them
S2j for their trouble, and that if they
would send him S24 $50 he would call

them in their wrong-doing those of the laity
who lose sight OF the idea that the church OF God
Is place to teach humility and lowness OF mind

And In conclusion, that it Ould be well IN future
in choosing Bishops to follow what was largely the
practice In the Scriptura times and for long after
