A POPE COUNTY MYSTERY.

\ POPE COUNTY MYSTERY
Samuel Hazel Of Pope county, who
was insane for number of years came
to his death in mysterious aud hor-
riblc manncl. He had been an inmate
of tho insane asylum at Anna for some
months past. A few weeks ago his
brother, also living in Pope county, was
notified that his removal from the
usyluin had become necessary. and ac
cordingly went after him When with
in few mile, of their home in Pope
county, the two stopped at farm
house to stay over night. Before
morning the unfortunate escaped the
vigilol. CSC OF his brother, aud no
trace NJ him could be- found until last
week when his body was found in the
bushes near the johnson county line.
Iii, death was evidently the result Of
foul work. His body, which had been
partly deyoured By ,wins, Va. minus
the head and right arm. Thc head
was found about fifteen feet from the
body and from its appearance, must
have been cut off with ,ome in,.ru-
ment. The arm could no. be found

THE PEOPLES ADVENT.
BY GERALD MASSEY.

'Tis coming up the steep of time.
And this old world is growing brigh;cri
We may not see its dawn sublime,
Yet high hopes make the heart throb lighter.
We may be sleeping in the ground
When it awakes The world IN wonder;
But we have felt 1t gathering round
And heard its voice of living thunder.
IT'S coming now, the 1loi ious time.
Foretold by seers, and sung in story,
For which, when thinking was n crime,
Souls Ieapt to heaven from scaG,lds CORY.
They passed, yet ee.the would they wrought,
And the crowned hopes of centuries blossom
While the live lightning of their though.
And daring deeds doth pulse earth'S bosom.
The gnarl est heart hath tender chords
TO waken at the name of Brother,r
And time GENES when brain scorpion words
We shall not speak to sting each other
There's divinity within
That makes man great when'cr they Will it;
God works with all who dare to win
And the time cometh to reveal 1t.
