REASONS WHY.-The reasons why DIR.
Prices Special Flavorings, Cinnamon, Lem
on, Vanilla, etc, are superior to all others
is because they are prepared from the
choicest selected fruits and aromatlcs,
without coloring or poisonous oils, that all
the favoring principles are retained un-
changed by chemical action, highly concen-
trated, requiring less to flavor, that there
is no deception in bottles as they hold one
half more than those sold for the same
size. That they are in every particular

furnishes But it often happens that this

Which isright? G,ace Green
wood says that "the fact is, there are
too many OF US women and there
seems no relief for coming genera
tons, except through the heroic
remedy of quietly putting all fc-
male infants out ofthe way. Moth
ing could be SO good for Us, except
Il long and glorious succession OF

idea Jennie Collins. the Boston
philanthropist, says in reference to
the scyenty-tive thousand over
worked and poor women in the old
Bay State, that CATER three years
close observation with all classes,
from the fncly-educated dependent
lady, down to the little girl who
was obliged TO sleep, night after
night, under pile OF boards TO cs-
cape the Wig lance of an intoxicated
parent, has furnished evidence that
there is not woman in this com

Apologize.

To the readers and patrons OF
the TINES, in and around Osccola,
we are sure that no apology is
needed tor the meagerness Of our
columns in this issue. To those
ut Il distance we can only say that
our days have been passed in at
tendance and our nights in watch
ing at the bedside of the sick the
dying and the dead in this stricken
community. Since the last issue
OF the Times, death has invaded
several household and sickness has
made its home in every family in
our little community. The ordln-
my avocations of life have been to
n great extent suspended and
waiting upon the sick has occupied
the attention of every one able to
be about. This much is sufficient
We are sure to excuse any apparent
dereliction on our part.

Tragedy.

AT q negro prayer meeting at q
colored mans house, about one
mile north of Vienna, on the 10Th
inst. piece of lightwood was the
object of contention between two
colored men. Harsh language
caused blows, of which not more
than one or two were passed when
one of the parties, Wesley Smith,
dealt the other, Tom Hunter, fatal
blow with a knife. The knife sew
cred the main arteries of the neck,
producing almost instantaneous
death. Wesley, in attempting to
escape, inflicted a severe wound
upon the leg OF one Charley Hedge
peth. He succeeded in leaving the
scene Of the late tragedy, and
went mile to the house of Il friend
whore he stopped to get bis friend
to accompany him to the house of
Mrs. Huey, the proprietress of the
plantation on which he then was.
While trying to prevail upon his
friend the brother-in-law Of the
murdered man and another colored
man came up in hot pursuit. Rec
ognizing Wesley, the brotber-in-
law of the murdered man fred up
on him, but the ball missed its aim
and struck negro woman sitting
near. The woman died on We'd
ncsday following. The perpetra-
tors of these homicides were tried
before judge Green, and bound
over TO the district court in Novcm-

SEBASTIAN COUNTY.
A Statement Of the Troubles at
Greenwood.

From an extra from the Office Of
the Greenwood Standard, of the
date of Tuesday, Sept. 9Th, we
CLEAN the following particulars of
the late trouble there.
"On Tuesday morning, the 9th
of September, 1878, about 8 o'clock
a. m., large bodies Of armed men
were discovered marching into town
in double file; the Circuit Court
for the Greenwood district being in
session, Judge +. ID. Ham presiding.
Rumors had been rife for several
days that Il force was organizing
for the purpose Of breaking up the
present term Of the court, but the
majority of the citizens in and
about Greenwood were slow to be-
leiyc it; but rs before stated, a
force of fabout S5 men, armed with
six-shoOters and double barrel shot
guns marched into town and dis
mounted near tho public well, in
twenty yards of the urt-house.
Judge Ham, from the bench re-
quested Col, B. L. Duval, Judge
Neal, p. Ii. Rice and Thos. H.
Barnes to wait upon said force, and
to know for what purpose they had
assembled, and to inform them that
they were not needed as q protec-
ton to the court to preserve order,
and request them to dispersc or
deliver up their arms. 10 both of
these requests they declined TO
comply, but agreed to go into
camp near by, which they did,
stating that they were not here for
the purpose of trouble, but to see
that justice was done, and the law
vindlcated. Upon their refusal to
disperse or disband, Judge Ham
ordered the adjournment Of the
court until court in course. This,
we regard as u terrible calamity, and
very unfortunate occurrence for
our portion of the state, and eX-
ceedingly regret the same. On
the adjournment of the court
the armed force mounted" " and
marched through the street in
"fours" " in the direction of Fort
Smith, and everything is now
quiet"

The lady residing near Lewis
burg, Ark, mentioned by lis a few
weeks ago as having followed ten
dear husbands TO the tomb, has re-
Gently lost the eleventh one. At
the time we wrote before he was in
falling health and has since bld
adleu TO his bereaved wife, aud his
spirit has been waited to "that
bourne whence no traveller has re-
turned" We are informed that
Mrs. Barnes (her last name) will be
seventy-iour years old in October,
her health is excellent, energy un-
bounded, and her appearance more
prepossessing than many mothers
at the age of forty. And if we
judge from the matrimonial pro-
gress in the past, she may yet find
another companion to cheer her
through life.
From the Memphis Appeal OF
the 18th inst, we clip the follow
ing:
"There never was a time in the
history Of Memphis when her pros
poets for business and trade were
SO promising. Orders from the
country are pouring in upon our
merchants ia such numbers and of
such magnitude as to induce the
belief that we are at last about to
take the food that leads to fortune.
Bankers and business men were
never in better condition nor bet
rer prepared fora largely increased
business that now, and we can as
sure our country friends that Mem
phis is ready, more than ever, 60
prove her devotion to their inter
est by hberahty in trade and en-
cOuragement for the future"

CHOLERA.

OE Boston correspondent furnishes some
information concerning the cholera and
the delayed preparation for il in Boston.
He mentions noticeable habit of the dis
ease in its travels over the country, and
that is the following of great lines of travel
In the west 1t is observed also that it has
come up the Mississippi and Ohio by rail-
road and steamboat, and is making its way
eastward. OF the cause of cholera and the
best preventives, opinions widely differ,
but upon one point all agree, and that is
the absolute necessity of cleanliness. The
latest view of cholera, and that which ap-
pears to Ike sustained by the best authori-
ties, Is that cholera is poison which en-
tiers the body most frequently when drink
Ing contaminated water, and less frequent
ly when breathing air in which emanations
from a cholera patient, and principally
from the intestines, become dried, and
rising in q pulverized form, float in the air.
When lodged by the breath on the moist
mucous membrane they adhere uutil they
are passed into the stomach.
The poison may be carried in soiled bed
dingOr other articles. 1t may even be
preserved by intense cold, ready to become
operative In warm weather. This is a
summary OF the opinions of authorities on
the manner in which the disease spreads,
referred to by the New York Times In
commenting on this subject, and it adds
The Rutland daily globe. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1873-1877, 1873-06-28

thus establish dual responsibility for high
way repairs and insufiicicncies within the
village. But where Is the authority for
any such decision. There Is no statute in
anywisc fixing the liability of the village.
No way provided for giving notice Of dam
ages received or on whom TO make ser
vice, etc. etc. This brings us to the direct
question. VIII the courts sustain this i'd
dition TO cur village charter, or will they
rather say that the power sought to he Civ
en- the trustees by that addition,
was already fixed in the sclcctmcn OF
the town, and that the remedy and
relief sought for, by claimants seek
ing the laying out Of highways, was ample,
through the sclectmcn and the courts And
that the power of trustees to lay ont high
WAYS cannot he sustained until the charter
of the village il SO amended that the full
control and responsibility Of ~ of the
highways within the village IL placed In
the village itself, and the town released
,borefrom. Such, II seems to me, would
be the view of the court Certainly II is
the only safe and tenable ground npon
which to rest the question. Coliuson is
the result of any departure from it.
