The End of n wicked Life,

We clip the following from a St. Louis
paper:
Owen Hines, en- account OF whose at
tempted suicide appeared in these columns
lew days since, shufhed off this cortal
MOL Saturday evening: His last words
were ''DOn't bury me from that hell hole.
the Dew Drop Inn"
Hines was one Of the most desperate and
lawlesS men in ST. Louis. He was for
several years proprietor Of a low den on
Green Street, known as the Dew Drop Inn,
and it was here he made the attenpt to
take his own lie which it seems has
proven successful. About two years AGO he
tried to kill his woman" but she, in de-
Tending herself, caught the pistol f ON his
hand and shot him throughthe body. Hines
fell senseleSS to the floor and Instantly
the hatred of the woman vanished. She
picked the fallen iilan from the floor where
he lay covered with blood, laid him on bed,
drove the crowd from the room, sent at
once for one Of the best physicians in the
city, watched over the desperate night and
day with jealous care and nursed him back
TO life, though the doctors said he could not
live.
But he has gone. BY his own hand he
took the life which had been saved to him
by a woman he had frequently beaten and
then endeayOred to murder, and with his
dying breath he begS of those around him
that he may not be buried from that den
which has truly been ''the gateway of hell"
for so many years.

CoItMBIA, Tenn, Jan. I3.-Business

days, but is somewhat reviVing. The new
year has brought with it a great MANY
changes in our commercial circles. Sew
eral parties have put on their business har-
ness again who have heretofore been rusti-
eating. Between seven and eight thousand
bales of cotton have been shipped from our
depot this season, and those that know say
the crop is not half picked. This does not
look much like more corn and less cotton.
We notice a great many mules passing
through our city, bound for Southern mar
kets.

can pay him our county warrants next

We expect lively time between now
and the first Thursday in August, when
the election for county officers comes of.
There already from three to five candidates
out for each Office. We hope and think
some of them will withdraw, or decide up
on one candidate by primary election. If
not, the chances are that our county will
go Republican. MAURY.
