HORRIBLE MURDER.
j. L Brister Murdered by His
Step-Father.

Mr.. ]. l.. Erister, q worker in mar
bic, who was employed by Stotts !S
Thurtell, of this city, last spring, had
his throat cut from ear to ear, in
Creston, Iowa, by j. p. Burnett, his
step-father. Both lived in Savannah
for several months in the carly part
of this year, and are known to many
here.
Mr.. Brister leaves wife and three
children, one but small babe. The
murderer slept in al adjoining room
to the family. The building was
Burnctt's, and Brister boarded him
for the use of the house. 1t seems
there had been some family difficulty
existing for some time. Burnett had
had difficulty with his wife, Mr.. Bris-
ter's mother, and had threatened her
life Burnett then told Brister that
if he would keep the matter quiet
about his threats he would establish
him (Bristerl in business. Brister
being man of but poor circum-
stances, agreed to do so, his wife,
however, urging him not to do SO, as
she feared Burnett. We have learned
of more inhuman and revolving
reason why Burnett established Bris-
ter in business, being the affidavit OF
the wife that Brister agreed to di-
vide the use of his wife with Bur-
nett, and that the immediate cause OF
the murder was that both We're pos

A story is told of certain neWspa-
per proprietor who relieved his dis
honesty by q spice of humor.
The agent of a large manufacturing
house went to him to protest against
frequent assaults in the editorial de-
partment.
"What the devil is the matter ?D ask
ed the latter. GAIL you say is an in
fernal lie. But then we feel that we
can't afford to have this thing go on.
What shall we do to stop it ?s
The proprietor appeared abstracted
for few moments, and then remark
ed: "I was thinking about character
in the Bible. Let me seeI His name
was was Zaccheus. What did he
dor Oh yes he climbed a tree to see
The Lord and he didn't see him
either. What did he do then? Do
you Femenber, Mr.. Agent, what he
did then ?"
Is @He came down, suppose"
p fsAh, yesi-thank you-that's it'll
He came down, sensible fellow; he
came down.
The parable was fitting. The agent
initiated the example of Zaccheus and
the journalistic batteries were instan-
taneously spiked.-N. Y. Letter to
